The Guardian: ‘Memoirs to reveal Dick Cheney thought Bush had gone soft on war on terror.’ Who knows what dark place we’d all be in if this man had become U.S. President.
Sign and send a mesage: freeezra.org Join Naomi Klein, Neve Gordon, Noam Chomsky and thousands of others and tell Israel not to jail Ezra Nawi, one of Israel’s most courageous human rights activists. His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region. Nawi, a…
Foreign Office link to torture cover-up How do these people sleep at night?
Despite the Israeli government’s threat to forcibly stop them the Free Gaza group made a second successful sailing to Gaza Strip today. Their first sailing, on 24 August, made them the first people to freely enter Gaza Strip in forty-one years. Israel has imposed an immoral and illegal1 blockade on Gaza Strip since June 2007, in an attempt to…
Glenn Greenwald reports on the appalling events in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where the Republicans have been holding their National Convention over the weekend.

Some politicians clearly have no qualms showing off how spineless they are by using fear to trade our freedoms and make it look like they’re actually doing something. No Right Turn on…
Speaking of Survival International, they’ve posted a video on their website of gunmen hired by farmers to attack a Makuxi Indian village in Brazil, part of a brutal attempt at an Indian land grab.
