Compiled by Blaine Coleman: Faster than we can keep count, the Educational Institutions refusing to do business with Israel is growing. Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions…. a start on the road to NO NORMALISATION with a racist state!
Beautiful video by a rising star, Shadi Nassar. "I Resist" is three minutes of power, beauty and ultimately hope. The Palestinians will never be defeated, their existence is resistence.
Often times, as G. Edward Griffin also puts it, the sins of the 'left' are uncovered by their enemies on the 'right', and vice versa. The in-fighting among hegemonic pigs often betrays their criminal secrets.

So and so thinks she's too fat. She not only wants some liposuction but a nose job while she's at it. And if she could afford it, maybe some new boobs. She thinks then she'll be famous and people will love her.

There have been powerful, if not controversial, attempts by isolated villages to begin building this movement. It is time now to learn from their experiences and begin coordinating a national non-violent strategy.

Two years ago today Dr. George Habash’s body left us, and since then, many books have been published about this legend El Hakeem (the doctor and the wise in Arabic), who became a beacon to freedom fighters worldwide and an Icon of steadfastness for humanity, democracy and goodwill. Dr. Habash was a visionary and a complete [...]
