Rock on! Just bought a new acoustic guitar for the equivalent of 38.50 EUR – and it’s actually nice – and I got a free harmonica necklace with it

59 cases of death, where the cause of death could not be determined, 7 suicides, 90 accidents as a result of shot wounds.”

“The intensity of the separation versus transfer debate subsided after 1948 and the ethnic cleansing campaign that removed most of the native Palestinian population from the Jewish state. The Palestinian minority left behind — a fifth of the population but a group, it was widely assumed, that would soon be swamped by Jewish immigration — was seen as an irritation but not yet as a threat. It was placed under a military government for nearly two decades, a system designed to enforce separation between Palestinians and Jews inside Israel. Such separation — in education, employment and residence — exists to this day, even if in a less extreme form.”
