HumanRights: From Deir Yassin to Gaza

Just in the past three days, 18 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza by the same occupation army; including a man and his grand-daughter. I penned a poem along the way.

(BETHLEHEM) - I am back in Palestine after a long 40 day book tour in which I visited 3
countries, 16 US states, gave talks 67 times and interviewed on TV and Radio extensively.

Over 3000 wonderful contacts were made and the publisher tells me that 1300 books were sold along the way.

Yemen`s Tyrant: A Terrorist Allegedly Fighting Terrorism Against America

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” --Martin Luther King, Jr.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - It is heartbreaking and tragic to watch innocent protesters throughout the Arab world slaughtered with weapons from American tyrants who only serve the interests of the U.S. and Israel.

Egyptians are Back in Tahrir Square to Block a Counter Revolution

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction. And to every revolution there is often plotted a counter revolution…”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The world still recalls those thousands of Egyptians protesting in Tahrir square at the heart of Cairo in one of the most inspiring scenes of the human quest for freedom and democracy in modern times.

It was wonderful to watch those magical moments where power of the people powerfully came into effect, but for some it was equally worrying as they contemplated on what would come next.

Wisconsin: The Governor Has Laws in Place to Rule as Dictator

Wisconsin: divided over budgets and workers rights, but one law presents a common and even greater threat.

(LONDON) - The governor of Wisconsin defies court orders and exhibits imperious and law defying behavior.

But new legislation would mean previous laws granting medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions to vaccination would be repealed.

Why Struggle to Understand What Goes on Half a World Away?

The problem is that hatred begets more hatred and so becomes a self-sustaining cancer that decimates the entire body, not just one side or the other.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - I am trying to understand what is happening in the Middle East... the turmoil, the violence, and what appears to be the never-ending hatred.

I am guessing that there are others who are struggling to understand this as well.

U.S. Boat to Gaza Leaders Challenge Netanyahu Threat to Impending Flotilla

The U.S. boat organizers said that The Audacity of Hope and the entire flotilla "will sail in peace and with a single nonviolent message..."

(NEW YORK) - Human rights activists preparing a U.S. ship for a 22-nation flotilla to Gaza at the end of May sharply criticized Israel's request to the UN to stop the boats from sailing.

Israeli media reported Netanyahu's argument that the flotilla is a conglomerate of "extreme Islamists that are interested only in provocation" whose aim is to destroy Israel.

What Martin Luther King, Jr. Could Have Said to Netanyahu and US

MLK: Prime Minister, Bibi, baby, I have got to tell you that Israel’s publicity campaign aimed at stopping the International Freedom Flotilla set to sail this spring is dead before arrival.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Last Friday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to put an end to an audaciously hopeful flotilla setting sail to the Gaza Strip this May.

Among the 15 boats that will sail to Gaza with people from over 22 countries is the American craft aptly named, The Audacity of Hope.

Muslims Dare Not Put the Bible on Trial

“Muslims dare not put the Bible on some despicable trial; this is beyond any Muslim’s weirdest imagination”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - We’re not big debaters. We’re not very well-educated; we’re just simple people trying to do the right thing.” Said Luke Jones, the son of the Florida pastor who finally carried out his most ignorant plan and burned a copy of the holy scripture of Muslims (Qur’an)

Adding to what Luke had said, I tend to believe that he and his father, Pastor Terry Jones, along with the 30-person Christian congregation at Dove World Outreach Center are amongst the most clueless and deluded people on earth.

Florida Pastor Bigger Threat to US Security than Bradley Manning

US authorities are very quick to act against those who dare to criticize Israel; the University of California at Irvine suspended its Muslim Student Union for a year when members heckled Israel’s ambassador to the US. Heckled...

(LONDON) - US Army Private Bradley Manning was arrested, tortured and put in solitary confinement based on the absurd allegation that he is a threat to American national security.
