Q. My family owns a lot of land and properties in Syria. We lost it after Syrian government expelled us, together with other hundreds of thousands of Jews, in 1948. As an Israeliof Syrian origin, I was wondering what I would need to do to either regain possession of the land or receive a payout for it; given I have then deeds for it.
A. Mind showing me the order given to expel the Syrian Jews? Actually the truth un Syria under Hafez al-Assad, Jews were FORBIDDEN to leave to Israel, which isn't very fair either. Most emigrated to the USA- voluntarily. Unless, like I previously mentioned you can provide a source where the Syrian government ordered them to leave.
@Zaax funny Palestinian refugees had the word "Palestine" on their ID cards since 1948, and their passports since 1922. Surely you are not suggesting that in 1967 ONE of them actually read it and said "Hey guys, turns out we're 'Palestinians'. Did you know that?!" Combined with the fact that Palestinians writers have been referring to themselves as Palestinians and the area they lived in as Palestine for centuries. So a Russian immigrant overnight becomes an "Israeli", a country that had not existed since 721 BCE- and not Jewish on top of that! Yet a refugee can not call himself the name of the land that he and his ancestors came from and the rest of the world calls him?

The USA government plans to buy the bad mortgages and sell them for a price. How will this price be determined and who will determine it? Shouldn't the government hire Donald Trump to sell these bad mortgages?

What qualifications are necessary to live in the USA upon buying a house?
Q. Does buying a house qualify one for some kind of permanent residence? What ways can a foreigner use to live in a house purchased in the USA? Is it even legally possible to achieve this without having to go through the green card or other visa process?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Any help greatly appreciated.
A. Home ownership will not effect anything. It will not even entitle you to a visa to inspect the property.
You need to immigrate by the rules everyone else follows, buying a home will not have any effect on a green card or visa.

The extent of racism in the USA during the 1920s?
Q. I have a history assignment with the question:
"Examine the extent of racism in the USA during the 1920s"
I need to have half a page of notes which I will use to write an in-class essay.
Could anyone give me any help on this, or send some links with useful information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
(It's due on 22nd April so no haste; just that here in Australia we have a holiday starting tomorrow, and I don't want to spend my holiday searching the web.)

A. Social Issues, 1920s
The original Ku Klux Klan had died out in the late 1870s as post-Civil War Reconstruction was drawing to a close. A myth persisted, however, that the organization had been largely responsible for saving the South from corrupt outside influences.
In 1915, a new klan was started in Stone Mountain, Georgia, by William Simmons, a Methodist minister who had taken inspiration from the favorable portrayal of the klan in D.W. Griffith's epic film, The Birth of a Nation. Emphasizing costumes, rallies and secret rituals, the klan grew rapidly in the South. The initial targets were blacks, whom many whites felt had been warped by wartime experiences. Black workers on the home front had earned respectable wages and expected the same after the war, and black veterans, who had witnessed a racially tolerant society in France, longed for a more accepting America. Perturbed whites believed the blacks had to be put back in their place.
The appeal of the klan spread to the North and West, and at its peak in the mid-1920s achieved a total membership of four million or more. Members served in state legislatures and Congress, and were elected to the governorship in several states. Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Oregon saw significant klan influence.
The central klan offices marketed regalia and literature to local units, but agendas were molded by community conditions and concerns. Blacks were the subject of klan activity in both the North and South, as were Jews, Catholics and immigrants. The klan also organized to oppose the teaching of evolution in the schools, dissemination of birth control devices and information, and efforts to repeal prohibition.
Probably the majority of klan members confined their opposition tactics to parading and burning crosses, the latter an innovation of the new klan. However, violence was not uncommon � public whippings, tarring and feathering, and lynching occurred in many sections of the country.
Serious concern about klan activity was raised early in its history, especially by a series of exposés in the Baltimore Sun and the New York World. It was, however, the conduct of a number of klan leaders that finally led to the group's decline. In particular, Indiana klan leader David Stephenson was convicted in 1925 of kidnapping and second degree murder. To get his sentence lightened, he implicated other Indiana officials whose corrupt activities were widely reported. By 1930, membership nationwide had plummeted to around 10,000.
In the West and South, the second Ku Klux Klan comprised largely poor, rural and fundamentalist Protestant members who believed that evil came from the cities, non-Northern European immigrants and a postwar tolerance for loose morality. A more urban character was evident in the North. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1381.html --------------- A hysterical white girl related that a nineteen-year-old colored boy attempted to assault her in the public elevator of a public office building of a thriving town of 100,000 in open daylight. Without pausing to find out whether or not the story was true, without bothering with the slight detail of investigating the character of the woman who made the outcry (as a matter of fact, she was of exceedingly doubtful reputation), a mob of 100-per-cent Americans set forth on a wild rampage that cost the lives of fifty white men; of between 150 and 200 colored men, women and children; the destruction by fire of $1,500,000 worth of property; the looting of many homes; and everlasting damage to the reputation of the city of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma.---------http://www1.assumption.edu/ahc/raceriots/default.html --------------------- Women of the Klan: Racism and Gender in the 1920s
