The subject about Israeli-Palestinian conflict the world. Israel built a segregation wall, enforces barriers and military is a significant one because of American interests in the region and the checkpoints to disrupt the free movement of people, resources and goods, massive US support and aid to Israel. undermining infrastructure and socioeconomic development.

Clarion Corrections

In the previous edition of the Clarion, there were some errors present in the article “Gem City History: Dayton’s Got the Funk.” The Ohio Players first hit was called “Pain” and released as a single in 1972. Also, their 1974 hit was titled “Skin Tight,” instead of “Skin Deep.” Finally, Roger Troutman and his brothers called Dayton their home but were born in Hamilton Ohio, which wasn’t stated in the article.
