Accuse

In November 1998, Juanita Broaddrick gave an interview (transcript) to "Dateline NBC". The interview, broadcast in February 1999, centered around Broaddrick's accusation that Bill Clinton had raped her on April 25, 1978 during his first campaign for the governorship of Arkansas. In the interview, she declared that Clinton suddenly "turned me around and started kissing me, and that was a real shock. I first pushed him away. I just told him 'no.'... He tries to kiss me again. He starts biting on my lip... And then he forced me down on the bed. I just was very frightened. ...

For books, articles, data, and analyses regarding democide, see Rummel's website. [2] Accusations of mass killings by a government are relatively common. Less common are well-documented cases with enough evidence to support the accusation. Almost all accusations are disputed to some degree, although the evidence in some cases is stronger than in others. For instance, many of the figures cited in Death by Government, in which R.J. Rummel first coined the term, have been criticized for not taking into account numbers of deaths caused by the absence of government by means s ...

In 1692, the "black cloud of the witchcraft delusion descended upon Salem Village." Rebecca was a 71-year-old invalid who had raised a family of eight children. The Nurse family had been involved in several land disputes which may have caused ill-feeling among some of the residents of Salem. Nevertheless, most of her contemporaries sympathized with her. The dignity and nobility of her character which she showed throughout the trials undoubtedly helpe ...

Some people believe governments may be currently enforcing laws that implement a de-facto kind of thoughtcrime legislation. Prime among the laws accused of this are hate crime laws that mandate harsher penalties for people who commit crimes out of racism or bigotry. Opponents of those laws claim that all crimes are committed out of an element of hate, so that defining a specific subset of laws as 'hate crimes' is meaningless, and that these very laws in fact imply the inequality of citizens before the law ("castes" of special sub-groups bene ...

Medieval people did not know about the existence of viruses and bacteria, thus they could not understand epidemics. Any sudden deterioration of health was considered a result of poisoning. Europe was rattled by several waves of Black Death (often identified as bubonic plague) throughout the late medieval ages and crowded cities were hit especially hard by the disease, often losing up to 50% of their population at a time. Terrible scenes l ...

Ergative languages are in contrast to nominative-accusative languages (such as English), which treat the object of transitive verbs distinctly from the subject of both transitive and intransitive verbs. These different arguments can be symbolized as follows: O = object of transitive verb (also symbolized as P) Sintrans = subject of intransitive verb (also symbolized as S) Strans = subject o ...

In August 2002, whilst Krekar was in Iraq, the Norwegian government revoked his refugee status on the grounds that he had traveled back to his homeland and spent long periods there.[1] Krekar was arrested in the Netherlands at an airport near Amsterdam in September 2002, after Iran denied him entry and sent him back to Europe. He was interviewed by FBI agents (at Krekar's request, in an attempt to clear his and his group's name); no extradition req ...

In the October 4, 2004 issue of the Weekly Standard it was revealed that several passages in Tribe's 1985 work, "God Save This Honorable Court," were copied without proper attribution from the 1974 book Justices and Presidents, written by University of Virginia political scientist Henry J. Abraham. On April 13, 2005, Harvard's President Lawrence Summers and Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan released a statement that Tribe's admitted failure to provide appropriate attribution was a "significant lapse in proper academic practice," but that they regarded the error as ...

Aaronovitch has been accused by the Muslim community of being Islamophobic, citing his attacks on Muslim organisations such as MPACUK. He called anti-war campaigner and Muslim convert Yvonne Ridley "the woman who liked the burka so much she bought the religion," (Guardian, June 5, 2004) [2]. Muslim groups have accused him of prejudice against Islam, contrasting his response to the Iranian earthquake with his reaction to the New Orleans hurricane. He asserted that the American authorities are probably doing lots that the media c ...

On September 28, 2000 Ariel Sharon visited the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount complex. The following day, thousands of Arabs demonstrated against what they perceived as Sharon's provocative behavior and statements (see Al-Aqsa Intifada); some rioted, throwing stones down on Jews worshipping at the adjacent Western Wall. These mass demonstrations are generally considered to be the beginning of the "al-Aqsa Intifada". The Israeli government claims the demonstrations were organized by the Palestinian Authority. However, the Palestinian Aut ...

In June of 2002, Israel's Knesset debated and passed a bill [15] which allowed for indefinite detention of people suspected of being combatants against Israel - a bill which was called an attempt to undermine the Geneva Conventions. In an article titled "Mass detention in cruel, inhuman, and degrading conditions" [16], Amnesty International describes detention in the Palestinian territories by the IDF. In the period between February and May of 2002 alone, 8,500 Palestinians were arrested and detained for a period of cruel, inhuman, or ...

As monitored by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) and many other organizations, Israeli collective punishment actions have had a devastating impact on life in the Palestinian territories. These actions include home demolitions, checkpoints and barriers, citywide lockdowns, prohibited access to land, home occupations, and destruction of shops and businesses (among others). Home demolitions have become increasingly common. According to UNOCHA, more than 14,852 have been made homeless by IDF ...

Gumilev did not extend this ethnological ecumenism, however, to the medieval Jews, who he regarded as a parasitic, international urban class that had dominated the Khazars who in turn had subjected the early East Slavs to the "Khazar Yoke". This last phrase he adapted from the traditional term "Tatar Yoke" for the Mongol domination of medieval Russia, a term Gumilev rejected for he did not regard the Mongol conquest as a necessarily negative event. In particular, and with virtually no support from primary sources, he asserted that the Radhan ...

Three men brought the charges against Socrates. They were: Anytus, a prominent democrat and almost certainly the leader of the accusers, whom Socrates describes as speaking on behalf of politicians and professional men. Meletus, the chief spokesperson of the accusers and the target of much of Socrates' attack, a fiery man with a beaked nose, and a representative of the poets. Lycon, about whom little is known; he was according to Socrates a representative of the orators.

Israel claims that the majority of the land currently taken by the new settlements was either vacant, belonging to the state (from which it was leased) or bought fairly from the Palestinians, arguing that there is nothing illegal about acquiring land in these ways. Further, Israel argues that these lands were conquered in a defensive war and are held legitimately as reparation. Opponents dispute at least one of these bases, saying that vacant land had either belonged to Arabs who had fled or was communal land, that had belonged collec ...

The settlements have on several occasions been a source of tension between Israel and the U.S. In 1991 there was a clash between the Bush administration and Israel, where the U.S. delayed a subsidized loan in order to pressure Israel not to proceed with the establishment of settlements for instance in the Jerusalem-Bethlehem corridor. Jimmy Carter has said that the settlements constitute a "major obstacle to peace". The current Bush administration, while generally supportive of Israel, has said that settlements are "unhelpful" to the peace p ...

Jay-Z has been accused of "biting", or stealing, lyrics from other artists. In the song Ether, for instance, Nas accuses Jay-Z of stealing lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G., who he cites as a rap legend and Jay-Z's apparent friend. Jay-Z has also been accused of stealing the idea for the song "99 Problems" from Ice-T, who had a very similar songs. Others however, see this simply as quotations paying homage to deceased rappers (including The Notorious BIG and Big L among others) and prominent hip hop pioneers (i.e. Slick Rick). Jay-Z ve ...
