"propel the administration to
unapologetically implement a
widely
unpopular

They were told they had to
leave the pool because they
were wearing cotton and/or
because it was over capacity,
but other who were wearing

After killing a 15 year-old
and a 20-year old at the Gaza

Israelis launched air strikes
that killed two more teenage
civilians and provoked a
response of rocket attacks by
Hamas ...
... while
Jewish settlers will now be
allowed to build
on lands of a
Palestinian neighborhood in
Silwan whose "nearly 4,000
Palestinian residents ...

In Muslim majority Pakistan,
it is hard for the non-Muslims
to be elected to voice their
demand in the parliament. If

The U.S. allows a favored
Chinese firm to do business
with Iran ...
... even as it rebuffs
European allies ...
... but preventing Lloyd's

platform for IT may create new
business opportunities for
non-U.S. companies:
London streets showed
anti-Trump demonstrations when
Muslims gathered to pray
together on Friday and
protested Trump's policies
against the Muslims when he
was on an official visit to
London ...
... which, Rohani says, only
shows how "America’s illegal
actions ... have even isolated
it among its own allies":
Nationalizing a Hindu school
