This week, the Israeli government is sending 25 Israeli students to Birmingham University campus to spread pro-Israel propaganda. This initiative, called " Israel Awareness Week" is being deliberately timed during "Israeli Apartheid Week"*, to argue the case for Israel.

Lies, damn lies, and humanitarian intervention

23-03-2011 02:54

The Independent, 10 March 2011
Masquerading as "humanitarian intervention," Washington launched full-force barbarism on six million Libyans, all endangered by America's latest intervention.

Beginning March 19, it was visible.

#541 - Outing Prison 1 (Mass Incarceration Is The New Jim Crow)

21-03-2011 12:55

Audio
This week we hear author Sasha Abramsky and professors Viviane Saleh-Hanna and Michelle Alexander on the US incarceration industry, or as they call it, the "Prison Industrial Complex". How can a country which used to style itself the "land of the free" lock up far more of its own population than any other country? Why has the US prison population exploded? And what is the connection with racial segregation and Jim Crow?
