What Does `Dialogue` Do for Peace Among Israelis and Palestinians?

“Dialogue groups place Palestinians in a position where, in order to share their experience with Israelis, they are compelled to acquiesce to a distorted reality. If they refuse, they are perceived as... disinterested in peace.”

(SALEM) - A couple of years ago, a secular Israeli High School refused to allow its students to form an Israel-Palestine dialogue group.

Reports indicated that the school’s principal was concerned participation would reduce the rate of students serving in the Israeli Defense Forces.

Rachel Corrie

Rachel lived her ideals and taught us to live based on these ideals.

(BETHLEHEM) - It is hard to believe that we lost Rachel Corrie in March 2003.

Our pain makes it feel like only yesterday especially when this week a consistently biased lying Israeli judge justified his unjust verdict exonerating her killers by vilifying the International Solidarity Movement.

Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire Calls for UN and International Community to End Burmese Repression Against Rohingya Muslims

The president of Burma has proposed a policy that amounts to ethnic cleansing.

(BELFAST, Northern Ireland) - The stateless Rohingyas of Burma, have suffered from persecution and discrimination.

Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire says they're facing inter-communal violence which has evolved into large-scale state sponsored violence against them.

Rachel Corrie and the Kosher Legal Stamp

Corrie failed precisely where so many solidarity activists fail. Israel is a state of one people only - and a people who believe themselves to be chosen. The meaning of this is both simple and devastating.

(LONDON) - Judge Oded Gershon’s ruling earlier this week that the state of Israel is not to blame for the death of Rachel Corrie, came as no surprise.

In fact it reaffirms everything we know about the Jewish state - its politics, legal system and spirit.

We Will Always be Inspired by Rachel Corrie

I'm sorry I didn't know this rare woman who is a hero and a martyr of the highest sense.

(SALEM) - As a little girl, Rachel Corrie talked about how she wanted to help people on this planet avoid suffering.

President Barack Obama Vs. Osama bin Laden: Obama Won

I shudder to think of the consequences to President Obama if the attack had been a failure.

(PORTLAND, OR) - Despite the fact that President Obama is accused of being a Muslim, he is/was totally instrumental in causing the death of one of the most powerful, most important, most dangerous Muslim Terrorists in the world.

A new book, detailing the account and the death of this tyrant, may be about to hit the streets: may be a big mistake.

The Fighting CMTC

“We'll call it the CMTC,” said Jack, “Consort Military Training Corps.” “Yeah,” said Red, “The Fighting CMTC.”

(SASKATCHEWAN) - Much has been written since World War II about The Princess Pats, (Canadian Light Infantry), the Van Doos (The Royal 22nd Regiment), the Essex Scottish, The Winnipeg Rifles.

But there is one unsung history of another magnum force known to its members as “The Fighting CMTC,” so named mostly because of their fighting among themselves.

Facing Down Israel With the Spirit of Vittorio Arrigoni

"I found my self standing on the front of the boat, holding my weapon — a cameraphone!"

(GAZA) - A week before we lost Vittorio Arrigoni, he called me, asking to join him on the Oliva (the CPS Boat that protects Palestinian Fishermen from the Israeli Navy attacks), but I was busy and couldn't join him.

After he was killed, I was determined that i will go on the Oliva, to be one of the few who had enough courage like Vik did!!

Oregon: State of the Pedophile Witness

Attorney needed; assist a man who experienced terrible bigotry and help save Oregon's Soul.

(SALEM) - Are you a lawyer? Do you really care about justice? Do you have what it takes to look beyond potential retaliation from the state of Oregon?

This is the story of one of Oregon's most important whistleblowers. There are few cases so dire and aggravating. If you are another weak willed counselor then this appeal is not for you.
