Israeli Embassy in Cairo Under Siege

Demands: Embassy Closure and Withdrawal from The Camp David Accords in Wake of Renewed Attacks on Gaza

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The western press and even Al Jazeera have failed to report today’s demonstrations in Tahir Square, Cairo accurately.

Thousands of Egyptians marched from the square to the Israeli Embassy, demanding that the current military government end diplomatic relations with Israel in wake of the recent assault on Gaza by the IDF.

HumanRights: From Deir Yassin to Gaza

Just in the past three days, 18 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza by the same occupation army; including a man and his grand-daughter. I penned a poem along the way.

(BETHLEHEM) - I am back in Palestine after a long 40 day book tour in which I visited 3
countries, 16 US states, gave talks 67 times and interviewed on TV and Radio extensively.

Over 3000 wonderful contacts were made and the publisher tells me that 1300 books were sold along the way.

Yemen`s Tyrant: A Terrorist Allegedly Fighting Terrorism Against America

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” --Martin Luther King, Jr.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - It is heartbreaking and tragic to watch innocent protesters throughout the Arab world slaughtered with weapons from American tyrants who only serve the interests of the U.S. and Israel.

Egyptians are Back in Tahrir Square to Block a Counter Revolution

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction. And to every revolution there is often plotted a counter revolution…”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The world still recalls those thousands of Egyptians protesting in Tahrir square at the heart of Cairo in one of the most inspiring scenes of the human quest for freedom and democracy in modern times.

It was wonderful to watch those magical moments where power of the people powerfully came into effect, but for some it was equally worrying as they contemplated on what would come next.

Wisconsin: The Governor Has Laws in Place to Rule as Dictator

Wisconsin: divided over budgets and workers rights, but one law presents a common and even greater threat.

(LONDON) - The governor of Wisconsin defies court orders and exhibits imperious and law defying behavior.

But new legislation would mean previous laws granting medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions to vaccination would be repealed.

Why Struggle to Understand What Goes on Half a World Away?

The problem is that hatred begets more hatred and so becomes a self-sustaining cancer that decimates the entire body, not just one side or the other.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - I am trying to understand what is happening in the Middle East... the turmoil, the violence, and what appears to be the never-ending hatred.

I am guessing that there are others who are struggling to understand this as well.

What Martin Luther King, Jr. Could Have Said to Netanyahu and US

MLK: Prime Minister, Bibi, baby, I have got to tell you that Israel’s publicity campaign aimed at stopping the International Freedom Flotilla set to sail this spring is dead before arrival.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Last Friday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to put an end to an audaciously hopeful flotilla setting sail to the Gaza Strip this May.

Among the 15 boats that will sail to Gaza with people from over 22 countries is the American craft aptly named, The Audacity of Hope.

Muslims Dare Not Put the Bible on Trial

“Muslims dare not put the Bible on some despicable trial; this is beyond any Muslim’s weirdest imagination”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - We’re not big debaters. We’re not very well-educated; we’re just simple people trying to do the right thing.” Said Luke Jones, the son of the Florida pastor who finally carried out his most ignorant plan and burned a copy of the holy scripture of Muslims (Qur’an)

Adding to what Luke had said, I tend to believe that he and his father, Pastor Terry Jones, along with the 30-person Christian congregation at Dove World Outreach Center are amongst the most clueless and deluded people on earth.

If Obama`s Libyan Intervention `Succeeds`, Will Palestine Be Next?

If Libya does stabilize, President Obama will be on a roll, all the more reason he could decide he will not need congressional backup to end Israel’s irresponsible domination of the region.

(CHICAGO) - President Obama’s surprise decision to conduct an “humanitarian” effort to protect Libyans from attacks by Muammar Quaddafi, was followed by the President’s swift withdrawal in favor of NATO.

This was a clear sign that Obama knew he had to combine caution with wisdom when he brought American arms into yet another Arab country.
