The Take

If you’re a refugee and you arrive in Australia by boat, the government will never let you in. Security forces tow away boats, and asylum seekers are sent to detention centers on remote islands.

Tens of thousands of Christians are in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem for Easter. But you won't find many Palestinians at the holy sites.
