Children die as sanctions crush Iraq

Article Abstract:

There has been a significant rise in cases of infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and typhoid in Iraq since sanctions were imposed by the United Nations Security Council in 1990 following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The return of these diseases has led to a rise in malnutrition, and now 120 babies out of 1,000 die before their first birthday. Hospitals lack even the most basic supplies, and doctors must simply watch children die from conditions that could be cured relatively easily if the right treatments were available.

Saddam turns on his holy enemies

Article Abstract:

The government of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim, regards the Shia Muslim leadership as a threat, as more than half the Iraqi population are Shia Muslim. There have been three murders of senior Shia Muslim clerics opposed to the government since 1994, and it is possible that the government has adopted a policy of sending death squads to eliminate senior Shia clerics. It has also permanently closed the al-Khadra mosque for repairs, even though there is nothing wrong with it.

The pictures that prove the guilt of Moshe Dayan - hero and thief

Article Abstract:

General Moshe Dayan, Israel's most well-known general, owned 1,000 archaeological objects at his death in 1981. His critics claim that most of these were acquired illegally, with the general ruthlessly ravaging archaeological sites across Israel. He had an overwhelming interest in acquiring antiquities, and it was very hard for archaeologists to take a firm stand against him. He was a national hero, and he was therefore able to behave as he wished, without being challenged.
