In honor of Rachel Corrie's martyrdom by an as of yet un-named Israeli soldier, we are staging demonstrantions on the 16th of every month in front of a politician's office, until the US stops support of racist, apartheid Israel.

Similar but consistent attacks were made by Michael Savage against immigrant people almost on a daly basis and during his reign around and beyond the SF Bay Area and those with political force failed to confront the issue effectively. Does this tells us something about the deep seated infra-estructrure and superstructure and the level of conformism that still prevails throughout a "diverse" San Francisco without an anti-oppression agenda? tzu...

But then a bus came down the road, and the people ran off it to hide in the other bus shelter - and they fired at that one, too. I could hear people screaming as they died, even with the noise of the guns.'...

If progressive politics is to have any meaning, it must start from the reality that you can't overcome global poverty through reliance on the market....

International assistance aimed at helping poorer nations develop is failing and must be drastically reexamined if the world is to meet targets it has set for reducing poverty, hunger, and illness. TheUN report says 54 nations are poorer now than they were in 1990, while life expectancy fell in 34 countries -- primarily because of HIV/AIDS. And it found that the populations in 21 countries are hungrier today than they were in 1990. The reality is, European farmers get a US$3 subsidy for ev...

Wondering whether some of these pro-Israeli pictures depicting Palestinian babies and children with guns are real? These two articles document a racist assault against a Palestinian-American child (he was born in California!) whom Israeli soldiers forced to dress as a militiant. The US State Department and media, of course, declined to investigate....

The link at the bottom of the article has all sorts of information on it like aid totals given to Israel and loans which are almost always forgiven, therefore they are actually outright grants even though they are normally not considered part of the 4-6 Billion dollars Israel gets annually....

Despite a year of a ceaseless attempts by the Israeli government and media to discount the war crimes committed in the refugee camp of Jenin in April, 2002, the truth of what many believe to have been a massacre, has forced itself on the conscience of humanity in a forceful and compelling way. Many believe that “Searching Jenin: Eyewitness Accounts of the Israeli Invasion”, edited by Ramzy Baroud, with a preface by Noam Chomsky, played a key role in reversing the tide, by presenting a worthy ...

"Baruch Goldstein can be justified. He was 100 percent sane. So sane, in fact, that he was able to overcome the fear of Arabs and take action, in a show of complete self-sacrifice, for the people of Israel. This action is a sanctification of God's name...
