A Preemptive Strike Being Planned by Israel?
As a small country, beleaguered on all sides, Israel has to constantly face and make choices that ensure the survival of the Jewish nation. When the threat level from hostile Arab nations exceeds a certain threshold, Israel has taken unilateral actions in the past. History has born out the necessity for those actions.

Spokane is about to undergo a major expansion of Housing First projects.
Innovation easing strain on Spokane’s social safety net
