A while back, prominent Egyptian lawyer and women’s rights activist, Nagla Al-Imam, proposed that young Arab men should sexually harass Israeli girls as a means in the resistance against Israel.

And though I would like to take credit for the clever facetiousness, in calling Al-Imam both prominent and a women’s rights activist, I am sadly just stating the facts.

Ever hear of the Sámi people in Sweden?

Does anyone know how the Basques are treated in Spain?

The Sámi (or Laplanders) are indigenous peoples of Sweden and the largest indigenous ethnic group in Europe.

Sweden is touted as one of the most egalitarian countries in the world; yet, the inequality with which the Sámi are treated is astonishing. Even though legally entitled, their rights have been unafforded.

Many haven't even heard of the Basque people. According to international reports they are ill-treated and tortured by Spain.
