There is a short 2 minute news cast from the AP on the arrival of the boats you all will enjoy here. ABC News so far is the only major US News media in America to cover this historic event...which shows just how controlled our media is by a pro-Israel bias. They're even too afraid to write about a humanitarian issue.

Just in case you start to get really frustrated with all the violence, racism, apartheid and hypocritical news coming out of the Holy Land, This is one of a growing number of groups working together and paving the way for a future in the region of equality, democracy and equal rights, where one isn't judged by their religion or the color of their skin, merely upon their actions and character.

Photos from Gush Shalom and other peace groups marching through Tel Aviv on the 41st anniversary of the illegal occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Enjoy!

Philip Tourney who I met about 6-months ago is a USS Liberty survivor. The Israeli Airforce and Navy pummeled, bombed and attempted to sink the USS Liberty in International waters on June 8th 1967. The Israelis killed 34 American Sailors/Marines and wounded another 171. To this day, the the attack has never been thoroughly investigated and the survivors and their families have never received justice in the most deadly attack on a US ship in peace time. Israel continues to deny intent and The Lobby regularly goes after the surviors and their families whenever they attempt to bring light to this issue and seek justice.
This new weekly radio program is dedicated to exploring issues of injustice of which the plight of the USS Liberty could be the poster child.

The gentleman, an attorney, who founded this organization is going to be my escort over to the Middle East this spring. I'll be touring several countries in the area including stops in Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Saudi Arabia. Great source and a place for Americans of all faiths interested in supporting equality for all people in the the Middle East.

All of the undersigned groups here are groups I highly recommend. Do whatever you can. The Israelis are not just killing Gaza, they've started bombing Jenin and Nablus as well. Tomorrow morning start screaming at your congressmen, senators and representative officials. Don't let history repeat itself, please.

Gush Shalom is also organizing a convoy of food and medical equipment destine for Gaza on the last weekend of January. They need donations and this is a good organization to support. Uri Avnery who founded Gush Shalom used to be part of the Israeli Kenesset in the 1960's. He's since, like many hard core Zionists seen the error of Zionism and has devoted the last few decades of his life to human rights and ending the Israeli occupation. Thou when interviewed he still calls himself a Zionist, his definition is one of believing in the Jewish people's right to exist in equality (much the same as Dr. Martin Luther King approached the civil rights movement in the United States for African Americans) rather than Jewish supremacy. Despite calling himself a Zionist, Uri earns support from me because his works speak louder than the label. If you can help, please do.

End the Siege on Gaza - Protest outside Downing Street



Saturday 12th of January 2008



4 to 6pm



Opposite 10 Downing Street, London





The international Campaign to end the siege on Gaza



There are 1.5 million people, including women and children, in the Gaza Strip suffering the consequences of an oppressive siege and threatened with further measures of power cuts and cuts in foods and medicines allowed into the strip.



Last week the IDF killed 17 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a woman and on Thursday the 3rd of January the Israeli High Court of Justice rejected an appeal by human rights groups for an injunction against fuel cuts to the Gaza Strip.





Please show your support to Gaza by attending this protest to call for an end to the siege which is causing untold misery to the residents of the Gaza Strip.
