    Israeli settlers attacked Jinba — then came back in army uniform

    In partnership with

    On March 28, Israeli settlers carried out a pogrom in the Palestinian village of Jinba, with the full backing — and later, participation — of the Israeli army.

    Rats exposed to high amounts of alcohol exhibited poor decision-making during a complex task even after a months-long withdrawal period. Key areas of their brains had undergone dramatic functional changes compared to healthy rats.
