Human Rights Update from Occupied Palestine

Includes an action for US citizens to write to their senators and congressman and support nomination of Chuck Hagel for US Secretary of Defense.

(BETHLEHEM) - We had snow today in Palestine (in the Galilee, Jerusalem and even here in Bethlehem).

It was very cold and our thoughts are with the nearly one million displaced and refugee Syrians and millions of refugee Palestinians (some now also displaced from Yarmouk refugee camp).

Daughters of India Violated and Abused

A woman's lot...

(LONDON) - In the ancient land of India, where female deities deeply revered, Kali and Lakshmi, Sarasvati and Parvati, are held high upon the alter of Hinduism.

Each day thousands of Hindu’s ritually bathe in the Holy waters of the Ganges, cleansed within and without by the Goddess Ganga, women and girls; in the forests, cities, villages and towns, on buses and trains, in the street, the office, at school and in the home are being violated, abused, raped and trafficked into prostitution and domestic slavery.

One Man’s Mission to Promote Harmony and Build Bridges Amongst Diverse Ethnicities and Religious Sects…………. The Benevolence Legacy Carries on For Generations...

(SEATTLE) - Indeed, the story is vitally needed to promote peace and stability in a decades old war-stricken Afghanistan.

Evidently a powerful tale, which models a clear perception of how Afghanistan was once maintained politically, socially, and ethnically.

Ashin Gambhira - Saffron Revolution

U Gambhira still denied ID Card.

(RANGOON) - This letter expresses our concern about U Gambhira’s (Ko Nyi Nyi Lwin) health and continued denial of specialized medical treatment. The conditions of U Gambhira’s four-year imprisonment caused illnesses for which he continues to suffer one year after his initial conditional release.

Myanmar doctors have refused to treat U Gambhira. Finally, an international specialist came to Myanmar and medical evaluated U Gambhira. This specialist determined that U Gambhira suffers from the affects of specific trauma. In the meantime, treatment specific to U Gambhira’s trauma is not available in Myanmar but has been arranged outside Myanmar.

Zero Dark Thirty: Turning the Spotlight On US Use of Torture

I highly recommend Zero Dark Thirty. Americans should see another example of what is being done in their name.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Everybody knows that Osama bin Laden was killed by a team of Navy SEALS on May 2, 2011.

The film Zero Dark Thirty involves the ten-year search for bin Laden, pitting Maya, played by Jessica Chastain, who believes bin Laden is likely hiding in plain sight, against the non-believers, which builds up to an action-packed climax where bin Laden is killed.

Stop the Press: 0.000125 % of the Jews are Ethical and Universalists

The Messiah must be finally here--or at least just around the corner!

(LONDON) - What other conclusion can be drawn from the fact that in the last few days almost 50 Jews, most of them notorious for being Anti-Zionist Zionists (AZZ), have now decided to support the universal and elementary right of the Palestinians to return to their homes. These elite 50 even formed an exclusively Jewish list and a website for the matter. Isn’t it wonderful?

Sergeant Charles Hagel for Secretary of Defense

A fighting soldier for fighting soldiers.

(PORTLAND, OR) - I had heard that Charles Hagel was a Purple Heart Veteran of Vietnam, but it wasn't until I heard of his current nomination to the Secretary of Defense, at the Pentagon, that I really paid attention.

I honestly believe that this is a good idea about fighting a war. This article will explain why I feel this way.

America Can be a Scary Place for Americans

Larissa Nearing’s story is a poignant illustration of what can happen when you are busy living your life.

(SAN DIEGO) - We are a nation of rules and laws, with over 40,000 new laws that went into effect on January 1, 2012, alone.

With such a minefield, even for the most sober citizen, it is easy to slide down the rabbit hole.

Congress: Who Will You Choose: AIPAC or Senator Chuck Hagel

“The Modern Age is the Jewish Age, and the 20th century, in particular, is the Jewish Century.”
–Yuri Slezkine, Professor of History at UC, Berkeley

(WASHINGTON DC) - It is an outrage that the courageous columnist Mr. Jakob Augstein of Der Spiegel, a German magazine, is under attack from the “Jewish Lobby” in the U.S.

They're using the meaningless canard of calling him an “anti-Semite”, for his truthful statement that the Jewish Lobby has an enormous influence on U.S. foreign policy.
