Glenn Greenwald: Dr. Jill Stein on Israel’s Crimes plus her WashU Protest Arrest

UPDATE ON THE FLOTILLA: Food and Medical Supplies for Gaza STOPPED
Coleen Rowley: “I have to say how disappointed we are - and actually horrified - that such powerful, corrupt government forces can connive to prevent food, medicine, and humanitarian aid from reaching disease and famine-stricken Gaza. It’s evil!” Barry Riesch: “Stopping the boat shows that Israel is intimidated by us and that our own country cares more about supporting Israel’s illegal blockade and genocide than helping U.S. citizens deliver aid to Gaza. They can stop the flotilla today, but it will come back even stronger.”
A Life on Our Planet: David Attenborough (video)
David Attenborough's take on a simple solution to ease if not halt the climate crisis. If only those who have control of the political system would listen instead of being involved in petty politics and pushing more and more fossil fuel sources and use.

Judaism and Zionism, by Sue Ann Martinson
Israel has taken the position that it is innocent of any wrongdoing even though at minimum since Nakba in 1948 they have perpetrated an apartheid neo-fascist state...with use of...tactics borrowed from their previous oppressors in Nazi Germany.

The destruction of vast forests sold to timber companies and the scraping away of the topsoil have left behind poisoned wastelands.

They Are Not Numbers in Gaza and Photo Essay, Twin Cities Protests
As always, we as U.S. citizens, must ask first what is the role of the U.S.?
