After three years of refusing to hand over maps of where cluster bombs were dropped, Israel finally handed them over this week.

Meanwhile, the international community hardly made a peep while Israel took their sweet time for no logical reason other [...]

I am now reading Ilan Pappe’s book about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the racist Zionist movement.
