Two Israeli attacks on
Syria in less than 48 hours mean, at least unofficially, the entrance of the
West in the Arab conflict. Israeli incursions have not only complicated a conflict already
very convulsed. And as it happens with everything the Jewish state does, the
consequences of these actions will resound beyond its borders.
The attacks came from
outside Syrian airspace. According to both Reuters and AP, Israeli aircrafts
entered Lebanon from the south and from within Lebanese territory, they
released their weapons.
This fact highlights
the impunity of Israel in the region. It's not the first time that Israel
targets military...

Bangladesh, where a collapsed building left behind 1000 people dead, has oulined that our cheap
clothing is at the expense of human rights.
Thousands of people were

votes. Some have been on the verge of parliamentary representation. Others,
like the pirate party, are full on with strength.
Overall, the Parliamentary
cake was previously divided between two or three forces. Nowadays a quarter of
those votes have been grabbed by minority parties. However, half of them will...

Sooner or later it
always happens. After any tragedy -or feat- created by man there is always a
group of people waiting to jump to talk about conspiracies. It happened and
happens whether with 9-11 or the Moon landing. The Boston bombings weren’t
going to be less and in the Internet age, just in a week we have all kind of
theories.
Personally, I am very
skeptical of the skeptics. For others, it is easier to see conspiracies.
A website has compiled
“evidence”
that, according to the author, shows that everything that happened in Boston
was orchestrated. There are some that are based on physical similarities, such
as arguing that Jeff...
Are you afraid? Well, this works in that way. First you do what scares you and it's later when you get the courage
