    In this Times of Israel article, a statement made by South Africa's ruling party, the ANC, is examined. Made in protest to a planned meeting of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, the ANC's statement accused Israel of being a state founded in apartheid. More dramatically, the article references a quote made by the ANC where they liken Israel's most recent attack on Gaza to the Nazis.

    In this AL Monitor article, the growing dissatisfaction between Hamas and Fatah is outlined in detail. A short time after the agreement to work together was made, current accusations of treason by each side have the organizations on shaky ground.

    This article was extremely interesting. It discussed the potential for an all women city in Saudi Arabia. The city would be an area for single women to work to and learn new skills allowing them some independence. The idea of an all women city is baffling to me, it seems the country is moving even further back in time with gender advances.

    Why is there particular revulsion over such attacks versus conventional warfare? The population feels they can do nothing to protect themselves. Chemical weapons are invisible and indiscriminate killers than could affect anyone at any time. The fear can even cause symptoms that aren't real.

    A new analysis of the data available to the public about drone strikes, conducted by the human-rights group Reprieve, indicates that even when operators target specific individuals - the most focused effort of what Barack Obama calls "targeted killing" - they kill vastly more people than their targets, often needing to strike multiple times. Attempts to kill 41 men resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1,147 people, as of 24 November.

    Syria's President Assad claims that Western powers are trying to "weaken" Russia. Russia and Syria have been long time allies and so it is unclear what Russia will say to this.

    One of the things I personally didn't know about Al Qaeda was that some of the people involved are very smart people. The way they use their intelligence is different from how we would use them. I found this interesting because being an explosives expert sounds like it involves a lot of skill and knowledge.
