On July 22, Israeli construction crews demolished homes in East Jerusalem, claiming they were too close to the border with the West Bank.

Democratic Primary Debate: 10 More Candidates of Capital

On the second night of the July Democratic primary debates, ten presidential hopefuls discussed their proposals for healthcare and immigration in the U.S. Despite fiery rhetoric, all they proved is that no one in the Democratic Party can offer real solutions.
