08-14-06 - America's one-eyed view of war: Stars, stripes, and the Star of David It is not just the US media which tilts in a pro-Israeli direction.

Unfortunately, the people that need to know about it the most - Americans - don't.

08-14-06 - Qalqilia farmers refuse to give up in the face of Israeli restrictions and land confiscation In the northwestern West Bank, Qalqilia District farmers are still trying to care for their crops and land, despite being encircled by the Wall. This is their act of nonviolent resistance.
