The Holocaust

is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.^[2]

Other groups were also persecuted and killed, including the Roma; Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war; ethnic Poles; the disabled; homosexual men; and political and religious opponents.^[3] Most scholars, however, define the Holocaust as a genocide of European Jewry alone,^[4] or what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question." Taking into account all the victims of Nazi persecution, the total number of victims would be between nine and 11 million.^[5]

The Holocaust is not a get-out-of-war-crimes-free card. It is the reason why WE ALL should stand firm against war crimes. Why can't we learn from history?

Eastside Catholic High School senior Jessica Terry studied her own tissue samples as part of her school’s BioMedical course.

Katie Regan, Reporter

A high school project to study and report on different tissue diseases became a lot more than a quest for a good grade when one student found the answer to a question that had puzzled her doctors for years.

Eastside Catholic High School senior Jessica Terry was diagnosed as a child with an indeterminable case of either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, but after hours of studying her own tissue samples, she found the answer; a granuloma, or a mass of cells, that signified Crohn's.

"This is something that pathologists had already done for her, had already tested for, and they didn't see it," said Mary Margaret Welch, instructor for Eastside Catholic's BioMedical course. "It's such a remarkable project."

Terry's conclusion came from a histology project, which is the study of tissues, and one of the major focuses of the class

Brain: War has become too long, too costly, and too unpredictable Pinky. The peasants are starting to dislike war and don't fall for the propaganda campaigns anymore.

Pinky: So what are we going to do now Brain??

Brain: The same thing we always try to do Pinky. Try to take over the world.

Control what the world eats and you control the world Pinky!!!

powerful GM lobbyists and prominent politicians

claim that genetically modified crops have transformed Indian agriculture, providing greater yields than ever before

But

Village after village, families told how they had fallen into debt after being persuaded to buy GM seeds instead of traditional cotton seeds.

The price difference is staggering: £10 for 100 grams of GM seed, compared with less than £10 for 1,000 times more traditional seeds.

traditional varieties were banned from many government seed banks.

When crops failed in the past, farmers could still save seeds and replant them the following year.

But with GM seeds they cannot do this. That's because GM seeds contain so- called 'terminator technology', meaning that they have been genetically modified so that the resulting crops do not produce viable seeds of their own.

farmers have to buy new seeds each year

crops reached 9 percent of global primary crop production in 2007, bringing the total GM land area up to 114.3 million hectares

clipper's remarks: We only hear about it when bombs start flying and the torn bodies multiply. Yet what is not mentioned much is that it is part of a constant, inhuman process. Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and many others speaking for social justice have already spoken against it.

Is this the legacy we want as Americans who believe in "all men are created equal"? Is this the example we want to give to the world?

Peace With Justice in the Middle East

I realized that to achieve peace in the Middle East I would have to be seen as an honest broker by both sides.

Apartheid is when two peoples occupy the same land, forced segregation is imposed, and one dominates and persecutes the other. The driving force for the terrible oppression of the Palestinians comes from a minority of Israelis and their desire to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land.

there is wide use of the word "apartheid" in Israel among prominent leaders, including a former attorney general (Ben Ya'ir), scholars and legislators (Shulamit Aloni), editors of major newspapers (Ha'aretz), human rights organizations (B'Tselem), and litigants before the Israeli Supreme court in Jerusalem.

this cruel treatment of Palestinians is contrary to

the tenets of the Jewish faith

the basic principles of the Nation of Israel

Nelson Mandela and Bishop Desmond TuTu have visited the territories and used the same description.

I wrote this book

because we desperately needed a debate in America

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer

murdered 17 men and boys

His murders were particularly gruesome, involving rape, torture, dismemberment, necrophilia and cannibalism

he grew increasingly withdrawn and uncommunicative between the ages of 10 and 15, showing little interests in any hobbies or social interactions.^[2] He biked around his neighborhood looking for dead animals, which he dissected at home, going so far as to put a dog's head on a stake

Tyler Hayes Weinman, 18, also is charged with 19 counts of improper disposal of dead animals and four counts of burglary, police said.

Weinman, who works odd jobs but spends most of his time at home and unemployed, had been a person of interest for several weeks, Miller said. He was arrested Saturday. Watch the teen suspect's first court appearance »
