Israeli Occupation Forces detain dozens in West Bank raids

Sixty years ago, the world stood on the brink of catastrophe.  The colonial war in southeast Asia, which sawAmerican involvement begin under President Eisenhower, who sent arms shipments and “advisors” (1955), continued to escalate under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon toward a wrenching US defeat, roiling the American political scene.  Shadowing the Vietnam War(1955-1975) on the international stage, the domestic US political landscape was riven by the civil rights movement (1953-1965), which was reaching a crucial turning point in its battle for a desegregated, democratic America.
