Jerusalem: an Occupation Set in Stone?

"This forceful documentary...introduces us to Jerusalemites we rarely hear from." —San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

(LONDON) - This is a tribute to the thousands of Palestinians living in East Jerusalem without access to life's most basic amenities.

Filmmaker Marty Rosenbluth details the devastating effects of Israel's urban planning policies that, according to many, aim to uproot the Palestinian presence in the Holy City. It was made in 1995.

Wael Ghonim and Egypt`s New Age Revolution

New names, new labels, new titles, same old business and government as before.

(DUBAI) - Like he says in the interview posted below…. without the advent of the technical means of modern communication available today, this would not have happened. But, those are but the tools.

Revolutions are founded upon and fueled by the naiveté, spirit and the dreams of innocent young idealists such as he.

First Part of Three in New Series: Waves from Seaside: What We Must Learn from Egyptian Revolutionists

CHOICE: What YOU DO Shapes Actions by Others- IF YOU don't ACT, THEY will "Make your day" By What THEY DO.

(SEASIDE, Ore.) - Freedom to choose among political options open to all is the essence and operating heart of all true democracy.

In recent days we've witnessed one of those extremely rare, deeply revealing revolutionary demonstrations of overwhelming populist choice by which the world has always been shaped.

I Only Have You

"I am an old man," Nasser Abu Said says, 37-years old, "to me it is no longer important, but what about my children? Don’t they have the right to life, the right to grow up in safety and with some joy?"

(GAZA) - "I only have you to count on. From now on, my children depend on you ". This is the desperate call of a man who sees no way out for himself and his children, and we ISM members who came to his phone call, receive it in helpless silence.

It is not the first time that we visit this family, and every time we go home more horrified.

The Egyptian Blockade of Gaza - March 4, 2011 March to Gaza

To everybody who knows injustice, everybody who knows tyranny, we are all brothers and sisters with the people of Palestine. Let us act like it!

(GAZA) - Egyptians have just shed their puppet dictator; they rendered his weapons and henchmen impotent. We can now remove one of the most shameful policies of this dictator.

I say shame on us all if we do not march on Gaza with significant numbers. If our lives or the lives of our loved ones depended on it, we would mobilize by the thousands. Just consider the global family as one, for a moment.

Bahrain Joins World Revolution

Police storm demonstrators marked a ‘Day of Wrath' inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Police in Bahrain have killed at least one demonstrator today, showing the world that this island nation in the Person Gulf which has a very poor human rights record, lacks the ability to exhibit restraint when dealing with protesters.

On this otherwise peaceful day, pro-democracy demonstrators were attacked in the town of Duraz in Bahrain today, as police attacked with no regard for injuries or deaths.

Mubarak Regime Orchestrated the Church Blast to Please USA and Israel

This uprising in Egypt has exposed the fallacy of a lot of arguments and political convictions and at the same time revealed new surprising findings.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - As I was driving my car along the famed corniche of the historic city of Alexandria to join the march calling for Mubarak to step down last week I kept looking- or gazing if you like- at the nearly empty streets.

Except for scattered armed vehicles and tanks squatted beneath the silent buildings on the side of the road and it seemed as if I was driving across a deserted city and not the never go to sleep 5 millions dwellers-city I used to know.

US Duplicity in Egypt

Time will tell how this will play out, but make no mistake about it, we will do our very best to insure it is not good for the Egyptian people nor the American public.

(JAMESTOWN, R.I.) - While extolling democracy the Obama administration tiptoed through the struggle for democracy in Egypt trying not to offend anyone, but creating the appearance of supporting dictatorship in Egypt.

He justified his lack of action by saying we did not want to interfere in Egyptian affairs, a specious argument because the US has been interfering for the past thirty years by propping up Mubarak and his military.

Visions; Failed Endeavors, and Wishful Optimism

“The will of the people is bound to prevail.”

(DUBAI) - Yes, a fine sentiment. But when has it ever and, when it has, how long did it last? Freedom, Liberty and the dignity of man, must be built on more than slogans!

NEW Message from Mordechai Vanunu

Israel's nuclear whistleblower discusses Egypt and the future.
