"This time, Benjamin Netanyahu’s government may have gone too far in defending the actions of its armed forces in Gaza. That may lead to Israel being forced to defend its actions in front of a court of international law. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s claim that "there are no innocents in Gaza," where over 60 Palestinians …
"At least 109 Palestinians, including four children and nine women, were injured by gunfire and others suffocated from teargas, after Israeli soldiers attacked them, while partaking in the continuing Great March of Return protests along the Gaza-Israel border, WAFA medical sources said. Among the wounded, three were critically injured by gunshots in the head, while …
Good work being done by Palestinian activists who in the bold action made it clear that an American Delegation is NOT welcome in Palestine. I commend these brave activists and I condemn President Trump's decision to have the US Embassy relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thereby recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Many …
The UK is one of the nation’s complicit with the human rights violations and murders in Israel against the Palestinians. Included in the 58 peaceful protestors that Israel murdered was an 8 month old baby. No one is safe in Palestine, not even babies. What an atrocity.

The United States blocked the adoption of a UN Security Council statement that called for an “independent and transparent investigation” into Israel’s killing of Palestinian protestors on the Gaza border.
The statement, drafted by Kuwait ahead of a meeting on Tuesday, expressed “outrage and sorrow” at the deaths of at least 58 people during demonstrations over the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem.

Massive Protest and Organizing Created the New Deal
The kind of electoral victories we need will take far more than standard electioneering and Facebook debates. Let’s look at what it took to create the New Deal so we can see just how challenging the task ahead is. During the Great Depression massive organizing efforts and protest movements were necessary just to reform the two-party system. New Deal history strongly suggests that the current dementer v. demexit debate is largely a waste of time until we organize movements powerful enough to upset the existing order.
