Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem

17-07-2009 13:59

This film, made by award-winning journalist Max Rosenthal, shows the reactions of a group of night revellers in Jerusalem to President Obama's Middle East initiatives. Many of the interviewees are American-Jewish visitors to the city. After 400,000 views on youtube, it was pulled as "inappropriate content", and Rosenthal would like to know why. He has received death threats and been accused of being a "self-hating Jew". His response, in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, was: "I am self-hating, but not because I'm Jewish."
We are following the producer's request to re-publish this film to many sites, including youtube, and let's see if this censorship happens again.  http://visionon.tv  http://maxblumenthal.com/feeling-the-hate-in-jerusalem http:phillipweiss.org

Washington & the Coup in Honduras: Here is the Evidence

17-07-2009 05:51

Soldiers entering the Presidential Palace compound, Tegucigalpa, 28 June 2009
No one doubts that the fingerprints of Washington are all over the coup d’etat against President Manuel Zelaya that began last June 28th. Nevertheless, the majority coincide in excusing the Obama Administration from any responsibility in the Honduran coup, blaming instead the lingering remains of the Bush-Cheney era and the war hawks that still pace the halls of the White House.

Updated action ideas to support Calais migrants

16-07-2009 18:58

Information from activists on the ground in Calais points to the police preparing to destroy some or many of the ‘jungles’ housing around 1,800 migrants in Calais, this Monday 20th July or Tuesday 21st July. These ‘jungles’ are where people who have travelled across Europe wait in makeshift shelters, with little food or medical assistance, for their nightly attempts to get onto lorries making the crossing to the UK. Many of the migrants will be unaware of this threat.
