    This article published today by Al Jazeera reports inhumane treatment of Palestinian inmates interrogated at Shikma. I was an Israel supporter in the complex conflict between Israel and Palestine, also considering Israel is an ally of the U.S., but now I'm beginning to rethink my position. This is almost synonymous with the Turks treatment of the Kurds.

    It is only in recent years that focus on cyber security has ramped up. Predictions are that if an all out cyber warfare was to initiate that although both sides would suffer casualties the Middle East would not have the infrastructure to emerge victorious or recover.

    Libya is in the midst of complete chaos as they currently have no official government. One idea that some say could fix the situation is to restore the monarchy that ruled Libya until it was overthrown by Gadddafi. As of now, there is one distant relative, a grandnephew of the former King who stands waiting to rescue his nation if "the people demand it."

    I thought this article was interesting in contrast to today's viewings on women's rights in Egypt. Women in ancient Egypt had similar and nearly all the same rights as men, which is quite the opposite today.

    This article talks about how women were in ancient Egypt. Women were given rights although a little disproportionate but they were treated well. Women had rights to own property, divorce their husbands, and inherit the property their deceased husbands owned.

    Women in ancient Egypt were on the same level as men as pictured by art and contemporary manuscripts. The division was found within socioeconomic status, not gender.

    Sexual harassment against women in Bangladesh is turning deadly. According to local human rights groups 28 women committed suicide this year to escape frequent sexual harassment. Before killing themselves most of them wrote a note demanding an end to the sexual harassment known locally as 'eve teasing' where boys intercept girls on the street, and shout obscenities, laugh at them, pull or touch them or worse.
