The Wandering Who? is out soon

I can assure you that none of my detractors have read my book yet, but they know what to expect.

(LONDON) - My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics”, is scheduled for release in six weeks time and it seems that the usual suspects -- Zionists and their collaborators within the marginal 'left' -- are already in a state of panic.

In the last few days, my publishing house, my editors and I have been subjected to immense and intense pressure that included harassment, intimidation, and even anonymous threats, as the demands mounted on my publisher to pull the book.

They Want Us to Stop Advocating for Palestine

Sumud - be steadfast, trust your instincts and follow your heart when attacks from within take place^[1] .

(SALEM, Ore.) - No required amount of brain energy is needed to reach this conclusion; that Israel wants all of us who write about their apartheid politics to go away, dry up, disappear.

They fear our gritty reports about Palestine that slice right up the middle and expose the guts of the Israeli operation to ethnically cleanse land they have taken and claimed as their own for 63 years.

Israeli guards deny water for punishment...

(SALEM, Ore.) - 13 British citizens, along with activists from dozens of other countries, traveled to Israel in July to determine once and for all whether Palestine's West Bank and Golan Heights are actually under a full illegal Israeli siege, like the one in the coastal Gaza Strip.

Ramadan Kareem to all Muslims!

An update from the land of occupation.

(BETHLEHEM) - Items for today include a story about the demonstration yesterday in Al-Walaja where Israeli occupation forces apparently used an experimental weapon, and links to CNN videos exposing the money grubbing fake "terrorism expert" Walid Shoebat (who was disavowed by his family in my village of Beit Sahour).

It also includes a request for financial donations to aid a Palestinian girl through the Harford Catholic Worker group.

Dirty Israel

Gaza under attack as Ramadan begins; headlines in Google define ever-preent censorship.

(GAZA / SALEM) - Gaza is under attack on the first day of Ramadan, which is not surprising and very much in keeping with Israeli military habits. Israeli planes bombed the border in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Glancing at headlines, you read about rockets, defiance and that Israel is proud of its death tools, but you don't learn that on the first day of Ramadan, an important day in the Muslim world, that the Jewish state sees fit to kill people.

Israel`s Latest Battle Against Ken O`Keefe

One of the human race's leading activists addresses baseless allegations that thwarted an Overland Convoy to Gaza.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Our writer Ken O'Keefe, one of the the world's most well known activists for Gaza, is constantly fighting snakes.

Regardless, 'undeterred' still addresses this champion for human beings who suffer under oppressive occupation.

Reducing Food Waste: Making the Most of Our Abundance

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - According to staggering new statistics from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), roughly one-third of the food produced worldwide for human consumption is lost or wasted, amounting to some 1.3 billion tons per year.

In the developing world, over 40 percent of food losses occur after harvest-while being stored or transported, and during processing and packing.

(QUEENS, N.Y.) - The pronghorn antelope is the lone member of the family Antilocapridae.

They are true American natives that do not occur anywhere else in the world and are the second-fastest land animal in the world – second only to the cheetah.

Celebrities Combating Poverty

In order to act out solidarity, one must have firm determination: to give up at one’s own interest in the name of the common good.

(MADRID) - With 2011 as the European Year of Volunteering, a banking entity launched a supportive advertising campaign with child education as their goal. The benefits will be destined to child education in the least developed countries with the help of UNICEF.

You have the power, turn on your solidarity! This is the message that the Salesian Missions have launched throughout an advertising campaign that will be spread throughout the media.
