Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.
This video clearly demonstrates how racist America is as a country and how far we have to go to become a country that is civilized and actually values equal justice. We must not rest until this goal is achieved. I do not want my great grandchildren to live in a country like we have today. I wish for them to live in a country where differences of race and culture are not ignored but valued as a part of what makes America great.

Israel’s military said early Tuesday that its air force was continuing to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, after hundreds of people were killed the previous day in the deadliest barrage of Israeli attacks there in nearly two decades.
The strikes have unnerved the Middle East, sparking fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah as the fighting in Gaza continues with no clear prospect of a truce. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israelis that they were headed into “complicated days.”

Israel’s preparations to strike homes and buildings in southern Lebanon where it claimed Hezbollah was storing weapons included calling and texting Lebanese residents to evacuate areas that would come under fire, according to Lebanese and Israeli government officials.
Whether delivered over the phone or by text message in Arabic, the wording was the same: “If you are in a building housing weapons for Hezbollah, move away from the village until further notice.”

The rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant and political group that controls much of Lebanon, appears to be escalating even as the United Nations is convening its annual assembly of world leaders this week. The uptick in fighting highlights the long and bitter history between Israel and its regional foes — and the U.N.’s inability to resolve it, despite numerous efforts over many years.
On Monday, the Israeli foreign minister, Israel Katz, filed a complaint with the U.N. Security Council about Hezbollah rockets fired at northern Israel on Sunday, which reached further into the country than previous strikes, according to a statement from the ministry. Mr. Katz urged the Council to enforce aresolution it had adopted in 2006, which called for Hezbollah’s withdrawal from Lebanon along the Israeli border, among other stipulations.
