Alert! IDF Again Enter Jenin!!!!
Israeli forces pushed back into the Jenin refugee camp in a sweep for suspected Palestinian "militants" early on Friday, returning to the scene of the fiercest fighting in Israel's recent West Bank offensive.

U'wa Prevail Over Oil Giant!
At its annual shareholder meeting, May 6, the Occidental Oil Company anounced its abandonment of controversial plans to drill for oil and its intent to withdraw from sacred U'wa lands. The contested Samore oil block will be returned to the Colombian government. This announcement follows over three years of peaceful nonviolent protest and direct action by the U'wa and thousands of others through solidarity actions around the world. However, this victory may not be the end of the U'wa struggle. Other oil companies including Ecopetrol, Colombia's state oil company, may continue the exploration begun by Occidental.
