I am fixated on the man with crutches. His head is down. He struggles, the pain and humiliation unequal to any human. These are Palestinians, many of them medical workers. They are wearing very ordinary briefs and shoes, suggesting the very basic means available to these men.…

Bahria town Peshawar will be built totally on agricultural land. The area supplies vegetables and milk to whole Pesh and adjacent tribal areas. The owner had previously resisted giving land and are now compelled to agree by entangling them in land dispute with neighbors.

"It isn't hyperbole to say that fossil-fuel executives are mass murderers. We should put them on trial for crimes against humanity." Damn right. jacobin.com/2019/02/fossil…
