Things have been quiet in the ghetto lately.

Since when do you care about the ghetto?

Yeah, I'm a poor black child from the ghetto.

The papers say Schultz may be in the ghetto.

I don't understand it. The whole ghetto is so quiet.

Did you hear what they're saying about Schultz hiding in the ghetto?

At police HQ it was believed he may be hiding in the ghetto.

So this is a finger blaster, and you will find that every one of you has got one taped under your chair.

We should get out of our cultural ghetto and go visit the next one and the next.

It has one in three of its children living in poverty, and it's what is referred to as a rural ghetto.

But Europe demands assimilation before participation in an economy that immigrants can t get into anyway. This, sadly, is a road to the ghetto.

And it resonated for me. I grew up as a poor kid in the South Bronx ghetto, a Sicilian family everyone lived in the past and present.

Education is the only way out of the ghetto for many Roma. But in societies like Bulgaria, where racism is rampant, Roma have to fight for equal schooling.

When I was a kid growing up in the South Bronx, inner city ghetto in New York, I was surrounded by evil, as all kids are who grew up in an inner city.

I was born in a Scots Presbyterian ghetto in Canada, and dropped out of high school. I don't own a cell phone, and I paint on paper using gouache, which hasn't changed in 600 years.

Had the apartheid wall , which virtually shut the Saharans into a ghetto and was defended by anti personnel mines, been intended as a defence, Morocco would have constructed it on its own territory and not in Western Sahara.

But no regional leader is as frantic or as dangerous as Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. In his vulgar use of Holocaust metaphors to portray the Iranian threat, he sounds more like the principal of a Jewish ghetto about to be annihilated by an agitated mob than the prime minister of the most powerful country in the Middle East.

Of course, it is always easier to export blame than to shoulder it. And, true, no Japanese prime minister has yet fallen to his knees in Nanjing the way Chancellor Willy Brandt did on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto, where he apologized for the crimes of Germany by saying, No people can escape from their history.

Israel needs to decide whether it is a regional superpower or a Jewish ghetto waiting for an imminent pogrom to begin. History in the hands of manipulative politicians and incorrigible ideologues can be either a dangerously inebriating weapon to mobilize the masses, or, as James Joyce put it in Ulysses, a nightmare from which it is difficult to wake.

And I will make 2015 the year that the historical grievances between us and our neighbors are buried for good.
