Palestinian Rights Absent from Israeli Protest Demands

Special thanks to The Real News Network and the Israeli Occupation Archive for this important report.

(TEL AVIV Real News Network) - Last week an unofficial group of protesters released an 11 page document to the media with a list of demands. The press conference was held after five weeks of social protests in Israel as part of a movement that started on July 14.

Mhara Costello-Terrorist! (must watch)

The world looks the other way, and then when it gets to be too much, and the poor strike back, they are labeled as terrorists.

(LONDON / SALEM) - This is the power of beauty and it wins- Heretic Productions present... the work of Mhara Costello.

It is certainly true that from Palestine to Sri Lanka; Iraq and Afghanistan to Somalia, and other places in between, the label 'terrorist' is the employment of political semantics.

Irene has so far devastated a great deal of infrastructure in New York and other U.S. cities.

The Palmer/Uribe Report: Another Attempt by Israel to Whitewash Murder

Israel refused to cooperate with this UN panel even though the United Nations and governments all around the world called for just such an independent investigation of the events.

(NEW YORK) - On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos brutally attacked Freedom Flotilla 1, killing eight Turkish and one American passenger on board the Mavi Marmara, most having been killed at close range, execution style.

They injured more than 50 other passengers, both on the Mavi Marmara and on the other four boats sailing to the embattled territory of Gaza to bring the attention of the world to Israel’s illegal blockade of 1.6 million Palestinians.

9/11: Gordon Duff Discusses New Video of Cruise Missile Attack on Press TV

'Pentagon attacked by a cruise missile not a passenger plane’

(TEHRAN / CINCINNATI Press TV) - Leaked videos of the 9/11 attack against the Pentagon confirm eyewitness accounts that the attack was not carried out by a passenger plane as officially stated but was rather the work of a cruise missile hitting the building from a different angle.

“There were 85 videos; a second video was released yesterday (August 29). Now it hasn’t been carefully vetted but it appears to be quite genuine that clearly shows a cruise missile from another angle hitting the Pentagon,” Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today, told Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Tuesday.

Poor People

To show the child he’s blessed a wealthy father took his son on a trip...

(CLEVELAND) - Salem-News.com is one of the few news organizations in the world today that carries poetry, and we can not overstate the importance of maintaining this wonderful word form of art as a mean of expression.

In fact the world would be a much better place on almost every level if simple things like poetry were to find their way back into the hearts of people in this vastly developed, technological age.

UN Uses Genocidal Dictator to Clear Israel in High Seas Murders

Nobody following the issue will be surprised...

(SALEM, Ore.) - The United Nations now backs illegal activity, officially. It seems the influence of the United States and ally Israel were sufficient to bring an official reaction that Israel's deadly 2010 raid in open ocean waters on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara was legal.

The New York Times has the story right now, they report that the United Nations review of Israel’s raid on Gaza Freedom Flotilla ships including the Mavi Marmara, out of Turkey, which our writer Ken O'Keefe was aboard, finds Israel's actions "both legal and appropriate".

I`m Tired of Blubbering, Selfish Idiots like Robert A. Hall

A racist, homophobic poor-bashing politician exposes his cruel side for all to see.

(SALEM, Ore.) - 'The Ugly American' is alive and well, I believe the character Archie Bunker played by Carol O'Connor would be proud of the overpaid whiny politician Robert A. Hall and his big time bellyache being circulated among other rich wankers who want to blame their non-problems on the poor.


I'm not impressed with the 'work ethic' of any politician who rallies against the poor, Bunker, oops... I mean Hall, needs a big box of Kleenex and his past as a U.S. Marine means squat if this is how he turned out.

`No Song and Dance` Over Sri Lanka War Crime Admissions

Sri Lanka' government says it will probe Human Rights violations Army personnel committed during Tamil Genocide.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Colombo may be prepared to admit its army carried out Human Rights violations against the minority Tamil population in Sri Lanka, in a civil war that ended just more than two years ago. This will be welcome news to some, but too little too late for most.

A swift government invasion of the island nation's northern coastal areas was conducted with complete prejudice by all accounts, with a goal of doing away with the political and military elements of the Tamils, namely the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam).
