Hamas Israel Palestine Rocket Gaza Strip

One of the most complex and long-standing conflicts in the world is the one between Israel and Palestine. It dates back to the 1940s, when the aftermath of World War 2 led to the creation of a Jewish state in the Middle East.

National Security 2011: Is This A Real End of ISA?

ISA Internal Security Act Law Malaysia

(Draconian laws like ISA may finally end but the question is why now and why not in 2009 or in 2010?
