Today, Benjamin Netanyahu went to the UN and gave a speech that, unless you were paying close attention in World History I, you would not understand. Netanyahu is speaking to a world that has long forgotten what Constantinople had to do with Istanbul, and what the Ottoman Empire's collapse in 1918 actually caused for the world 100 years later.

Child predators sit at the bottom of the inmate hierarchy. They get isolated on protective units because the rest of the population will not have them.
