A new opportunity to integrate the brilliant minds of Palestine with the world at large...

(GAZA CITY) - A collective of students in Gaza has formed the Palestinian Students' Campaign for the Academic Boycott of Israel (PSCABI).

These students are seeking to expand their collaboration and participation in events and activities with solidarity activists at international universities.

Above the law

Blowing the whistle over illicit and immoral behavior can be dangerous in Sri Lanka.

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Sunday Observer) - It’s December 2010, and two young law students are sitting for their exam. The one is in a hall full of students, who are being monitored closely by the examiner to make sure they’re following the rules: no phones, no electronic devices, no cheating.

The other, meanwhile is taken to a private air conditioned room with a computer with internet access, and is allowed to keep his phone.

Israel is under Cyber Attack

Needless to say that the Jewish State is pretty devastated by the Idea that a bunch of ‘indigenous Arabs’ are far more technologically advanced than its own chosen cyber pirates.

(LONDON) - The ‘Arab hackers’ attack on Israel escalated today. The Israeli Stock Exchange’s and El Al’s sites collapsed on Monday. The hackers say that it is within their capability to crash every Israeli server.

“If Israel apologises to the people of the Gaza genocide, we may reduce the attacks," said Saudi Hacker OxOmar to Ynet in an interview via email.

Alan Dershowitz, an amoral and impotent dwarf

Dershowitz behaves similarly to a whining toddler, unconstrained by facts, reason, or the broader consequences of his untruths in his quest for Mr. Atzmon’s silence.

(LONDON) - I had the good fortune to write arrangements for the Meeting House Jazz Orchestra this Fall for a benefit concert hosted by Manhattan’s Friends Shelter, the charitable arm of the E. 16th street Quaker Meeting House.

The show featured the great British-Israeli saxophonist Gilad Atzmon and my arrangements of his tunes.

US Congress: Falsely Labeling Peace Activists as `Terrorists`?

Against a backdrop of madness, HR 3131 lists Ken O'Keefe & other Human Rights Activists as 'terrorists'.

(SALEM) - The U.S. government has listed one of our closest friends and allies as a terrorist.

The baseless designation against a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran named Ken O'Keefe is little more than parroting of the allegations made after a deadly attack on a humanitarian aid ship off the coast of Palestine in 2010.

Alan Dershowitz Attempt to Destroy a Memorial to Martin Luther King

Perhaps the Hasbara mouthpiece truly believed that destroying a Martin Luther King Memorial was good for Israel and/or the Jews. He was wrong.

(LONDON) - A year ago I was invited to attend a celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. at the Friends Meeting House, NYC.

The Meeting House Orchestra was due to play music from my award winning Exile album - an album created to celebrate the prospect of peace and harmony in the Middle East and beyond.

Occupations and Rallies in Opposition to Citizens United Case

It won't be easy to stop big money from undermining our political process, but there is promising action at the state and local level...

(SAN FRANCISCO) - January 21st marks the second anniversary of the infamous January 21, 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case.

This is the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibits government from placing limits on independent spending for political purposes by corporations and unions.

PETA Response to: `North American Zoos Support Worldwide Elephant Conversation`

Instead of supporting an organization that supports elephant exploitation, people can make a real difference by supporting legitimate elephant sanctuaries...

(NORFOLK, Va.) - The International Elephant Foundation (IEF) was founded largely to support elephant exhibitors and to perpetuate captive elephant breeding. It does very little to meaningfully improve the lives of elephants.

The IEF was co-founded by Ringling Bros. Circus, which has a well-documented history of elephant abuse and exploitation.

Doctor of Nursing Practice:
are they Physicians?

I was a Pharmacology Professor for 25 years during which time I also taught 16 classes of Nurse Pharmacology.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Nursing Profession continues to advance in several directions beyond the R.N. degree which itself seems to have several modifications such as the original 4 year B.S.R.N. degree and the 2 year R.N. degree (?).

It also has the L.P.N. – Licensed Practical Nurse with some modifications.
