Israel bans Islamic call to prayer Ben Gvir stops mosques from playing the adhan, saying it 'disturbs' Jewish residents

Transgender Activists Question the Movement’s Confrontational Approach Facing diminishing public support, some activists say all-or-nothing tactics are not working. “We have to make it OK for someone to change their minds.”
