Waging Peace in the Big Leagues
It`s Time to put the Weapons of War in Reverse

Our Dream that can Save the World. Believe it.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The world is plagued with so many problems taking place simultaneously. The answer has to be big, loud and powerful, as will be the resolve needed to turn this dream into reality and hands on action.

People who believe it is possible to set this ship of life on a straight course but don't know how, will find this of great interest.

The Global Uprising Begins to Take Shape

The choices we make must be rooted in morality, justice, and caring for one another especially the most vulnerable sectors of our society.

(BETHLEHEM) - Watching the tragic unfolding events around the world from starvation in Somalia to rioting in London, we are not feeling vindicated but merely sad and angry.

For a long time many of us said that the increasing chasm between the rich and the poor has grown to obscene levels.

The Wandering Who? is out soon

I can assure you that none of my detractors have read my book yet, but they know what to expect.

(LONDON) - My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics”, is scheduled for release in six weeks time and it seems that the usual suspects -- Zionists and their collaborators within the marginal 'left' -- are already in a state of panic.

In the last few days, my publishing house, my editors and I have been subjected to immense and intense pressure that included harassment, intimidation, and even anonymous threats, as the demands mounted on my publisher to pull the book.

They Want Us to Stop Advocating for Palestine

Sumud - be steadfast, trust your instincts and follow your heart when attacks from within take place^[1] .

(SALEM, Ore.) - No required amount of brain energy is needed to reach this conclusion; that Israel wants all of us who write about their apartheid politics to go away, dry up, disappear.

The unlucky 13 were stopped at Tel Aviv airport and five hours later, they and 120 other people were in a high security prison in Israel.

Ramadan Kareem to all Muslims!

An update from the land of occupation.

(BETHLEHEM) - Items for today include a story about the demonstration yesterday in Al-Walaja where Israeli occupation forces apparently used an experimental weapon, and links to CNN videos exposing the money grubbing fake "terrorism expert" Walid Shoebat (who was disavowed by his family in my village of Beit Sahour).

It also includes a request for financial donations to aid a Palestinian girl through the Harford Catholic Worker group.

Dirty Israel

Gaza under attack as Ramadan begins; headlines in Google define ever-preent censorship.

(GAZA / SALEM) - Gaza is under attack on the first day of Ramadan, which is not surprising and very much in keeping with Israeli military habits. Israeli planes bombed the border in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Glancing at headlines, you read about rockets, defiance and that Israel is proud of its death tools, but you don't learn that on the first day of Ramadan, an important day in the Muslim world, that the Jewish state sees fit to kill people.

Israel`s Latest Battle Against Ken O`Keefe

One of the human race's leading activists addresses baseless allegations that thwarted an Overland Convoy to Gaza.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Our writer Ken O'Keefe, one of the the world's most well known activists for Gaza, is constantly fighting snakes.

Regardless, 'undeterred' still addresses this champion for human beings who suffer under oppressive occupation.
