...campaign. The two biggest protests in China since 1989 have been patriotic demonstrations essentially endorsed by the government--one an anti-American conflagration after the Belgrade bombing, the other a series of anti-Japanese protests in April that erupted in several Chinese cities. The latest demonstrations were spurred by nationalist websites and cell-phone text-message campaigns that persuaded tens of thousands to march against Japan, a country that they believe has still not fully atoned for its brutal occupation of China 70 years...

Israeli security officials tell Time that the Patriarchate-owned New Imperial Hotel and Petra Hotel were leased through a U.S. shell company, perhaps by Ateret Cohanim, a nationalist Israeli group that buys properties in Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem to prevent them being turned over to the Palestinians in future peace talks. Ateret Cohanim officials deny they have leased the buildings, but reports of a deal were enough to provoke scrutiny of the Patriarchate's finances by the Greek...
