Racism reigns strong and its face is more subtle than the Klu Klux Klan's mask of shame

Racism is threatening to linger around for a long time to come, we are reminded, 6 more months to kill before the world takes its last breath, Arab Spring is the Green revolution for Jordan's environment hopefuls, and a look at Israel's point of view.

The face of the Klu Klux Klan- the most notorious front for racism, infamous for its hate crime in the US. However the face of racism is not always so conspicuous. And is in our midst to divide and conquer us.

Green Activism to Protect Forests in Jordan

"The collective effort to conserve our forests manifested in the campaign to protect Bergesh forest in northern Jordan is a positive sign of vitality of the green movement during the wave of democracy in the Arab region, or the so-called Arab Spring.

The 7 Reasons to Support Israel
