Book Review - Consuming the Congo

A tour de force of anger, frustration, hurt and survival and those working tirelessly to bring together the many pieces and pictures.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - An incredible force of questions, asking each of us to take responsibility for how and who we choose to give voice and power. Who do we listen, what do we ask and how do end the worst human catastrophe since World War II. Why do we allow such atrocity to continue and why do we ignore the voices of millions and forget to hold a government accountable to its people.

Fixing a House, Falsehood and Contradictions in Zionist Claims

Israel is meeting resistance in their efforts to eradicate Palestinian village.

(AL WALAJA, Occupied Palestine) - In today's email, I send you links to more events in Al-Walaja, an analytical article I wrote about the lack of logic in the Zionist arguments, and a notice of a new book that exposes indoctrination in children education in Israeli school curricula.

Stop Israel from Killing Historic Villages

`Two Peoples, One Future`- NO, BUT NO THANK YOU

We know that Tsunamis are forces of nature, but there can also be a human Tsunamis!

(LONDON) - In his article Alan Hart presents us with a myth of a solution to the chronic Palestinian suffering, presented as an alternative way to solve this long-lasting problem.

Mr. Hart wants us to believe that the only hope for Palestinians is to turn to the major powers, led by America, and find a way to make them "put Israel on public notice" and that if Israel "resort to a final round of ethnic cleansing" that "it would be universally condemned as a criminal state and subjected to sanctions of every kind, universally applied".

Dershowitz`s Continuum of Civilianality Turns Five

In a July 2006 opinion piece for the LA Times, Alan Dershowitz placed the term “collective punishment” in quotation marks and announced the need for a “continuum of civilianality” to determine just how civilian Arab civilians were.

Palestine, Israel, Germany- The Boundaries of Open Discussion

This is a very important conference!!!

(FREIBURG, Germany) - Freedom of speech and expression are recognised by many as primary human rights. However, when it comes to discussion on topics concerning Palestine, Israel and Germany we often face rigid and concrete boundaries that clearly suppress free and creative discourse.

POSTMODERN IMPERIALISM Geopolitics and the Great Games

Eric Walberg on Post-Modern Imperialism The Great Games.

(LONDON) - Though the number of critical voices concerning Israel, Zionism and Jewish power is growing steadily, a clear distinction can be made on the one hand between contributors who operate within the discourse and are politically oriented, and others who transcend themselves above and beyond any given political paradigm.

The former category refers to writers and scholars who operate 'within the box,' accepting the restrictive measures of a given political and intellectual discourse.

For the Record... Declaration of Cultural Revolutionaries

The unofficial rules that guide brave minds in action for the betterment of mankind.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The world is ever evolving, but the highly unnatural militant direction man has chosen is wrong so often that there are few examples of it being right.

The greed of man that has led to so much contamination and desecration of Mother Earth is not always monetary; sometimes it is based on jealousy, sometimes it is racism, sometimes it is religion, sometimes it is a combination of all of these and more.
