Viva Palestina US Crosses Into Gaza through Rafah - Short Speech By George Galloway
At approximately 1820GMT on July 15 2009, the Viva Palestina US Convoy finally crossed into Gaza from the Rafah Crossing in Egypt. Headed up by the British Member of Parliament, George Galloway as well as former Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney, the convoy was due to bring over US$1million of AID and humanitarian assistance into the besieged Gaza Strip. Due to problems created by the Mobarak Regime in Egypt they were finally only able to cross with half of that amount of aid. This recording was recorded live as they entered Gaza, and has a short speech by George Galloway where he explains the situation and introduces that there will soon be a Viva Palestina Venezuala. Broadcast on PressTV at approximately 1820GMT on July 15, 2009.

Gambling with Conflict: How Settlers Control Israeli Policy
David J.'s latest Video
This video was produced for Mondoweiss (www.philipweiss.org) after being nixed by the editorial authorities at The Daily Beast. A disturbing look at the connections of one American casino tycoon who sends millions to support the illegal settlements in the West Bank, this video report unveils the raw racism of the settler movement who is dragging Israel into further conflict. Frankness, honesty, and the resultant humor abound in this 5 minute short. Please forward widely. Thanks for your continued viewership and support! We are currently working on a centralized website on which all our reports will be hosted. Best, David

On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, hundreds of antiwar activists expressed their outrage over President George W. Bush's eight warmongering, economically disastrous, torture approving and lawbreaking years in the Oval Office (2001-2009). The good riddance to Bush rally was held at DuPont Circle, in Washington, D.C. Adam Kokesh of the' Iraq Veterans Against the War' was one of the speakers at the event. He said: 'Occupation is a crime...and Ive got a shoe for Bush!' After the speeches, the protesters marched to the White House. Once there, they tossed shoes and combat boots at the White House and insisted: 'Arrest Bush!'

Featured Video: An Interview with Riad Hamad
Riad Hamad is a non-violent activist in Austin, Texas who was found drowned, bound with duct tape, in Lady Bird Lake near Austin, TX. This interview produced bt Free Speech TV gives the context of the FBI's harassment of Mr. Hamad for his charity work helping Palestinians. It brings into focus who this man is and why we should remember and honor him, counters the lies being propagated that he supports violence and terrorism. It is hard to fathom that was a suicide. But even if it was, the Bush administration and its right-wing allies are still implicated.
The Israel Lobby (Marije Meerman, VPRO Backlight 2007)
For many years now the American foreign policy has been characterized by the strong tie between the United States and Israel. Does the United States in fact keep Israel on its feet? And how long will it continue to do so? In March 2006 the American political scientists John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) and Steve Walt (Harvard) published the controversial article 'The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy'. In it they state that it is not, or no longer, expedient for the US to support and protect present-day Israel.
