[NOW Lebanon] Lebanon news - NOW Lebanon -Gangs of Lebanon: Violent youth groups tend to present themselves as beyond the reach of punishment, protected either by their money, their political party, their fellow gang members or, sometimes, by the absence of the state.

[Matthew Yglesias] Matthew Yglesias » Pro-Israel, Pro-Peace: Practically speaking, I think there are plenty of good justifications for a jus soli as opposed to a jus sanguinis, I agree with you that contemporary Palestinians should not be granted a right of return (whether people who were displaced 60 years ago should be able to go back is moot because almost none of them are alive right now), and I think that the borders of the 1949 armistice are fait accompli, but I think your justifications for why the territory currently controlled by Israel should remain so controlled are weak.

The Blue Blog: Griffin was there for one reason , all the mainstream politicians have chosen to ignore the electorate regards immigration,and regards the cultural identity of our country,which has slowly but surely been eroded over the years,thanks in the main to the labour party,but there has been very little serious opposition.Secondly you can’t create an underclass, furnish them with benefits and hope to sweep them under the carpet,you do so at your peril … you need to get out and talk to individuals David,let them know that the conservatives will make a difference and explain how,so far there has been too little substance ….and for heavens sake scrap the all female list…I and many others do not want a repetition of Blair and “Emily’s List”,it’s condescending,and an insult to the electorate….and people still want their vote on the Lisbon Treaty,Europe will not go away.

[The Raw Story] The Raw Story » Jordan begins revoking Palestinians' citizenship: Either revoke the citizenship of all the Palestinians with Jordanian citizenship (which includes the queen, the doctors, the professors, the business men, the scholars, the students in the universities etc) or stop being hypocrites by claiming it is for protecting the national identity of every person cuz if that was the case then the millions of Palestinians that Jordan quite frankly couldnt survive without, at least not succesfully, would have their citizenship revoked and as long as they are talking about the importance of every persons identity then how about giving credit where its due and stop referring to Palestinian achievements in Jordan as "Jordanian". I remember when Jordan won the arab super star (the arabic version of american idol), the singer was a Palestinian however the bedouins with jordanian citizenship ( i.e the "pure" jordanians that are not from Palestinian descent) gladly referred to her as Jordanian and took pride in her without mentioning that she is in fact not of jordanian i.e bedouin origin, just like the queen noor who is of syrian origin, and queen rania who is of Palestinian origin.
