...hired a lawyer, but Slobodan Milosevic is acting as his own defense attorney in court. In an aggressive cross-examination that sought to discredit the prosecution's first witness, he questioned Kosovo Albanian political leader for almost four hours, twice as long as prosecutors. Bakali testified Monday about the "apartheid state" Serb leaders imposed on Kosovo's ethnic Albanians after Slobodan Milosevic's rise to power. He also testified that during his meetings with the former president, he informed Milosevic that Serb forces were committing crimes against ethnic Albanians, particularly the 1998 massacre of the Jashari family.

...withdrawing to Israel’s recognized international borders with the Israeli state completely intact. To be honest, you’d be better off that way. Inside the Green Line, Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Outside the green line, Israel is guilty of apartheid rule. Take it from someone you knows: apartheid is a worm that will eat away at your society as if it were a rotten apple. The reservists’ movement teaches us an important lesson: even those who supposedly benefit from apartheid will eventually recognize its inhumanity...
