LINDA PENTZ GUNTER reports from the one of 2,700 protests against the Trump government’s power grabs, on a day when seven million people defied fear-mongering in a outpouring of joy and hope in what might be the biggest protest in US history
THIS week Amnesty International became the latest major human rights body to affirm what Palestinians have been saying for decades: that Israel’s system of oppression over them is apartheid, a crime against humanity under international law.
Amnesty describes it starkly. “Whether they live in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank or Israel itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights.”
The evidence is overwhelming and the necessary consequences of committing this crime against humanity are already written in law.
HUGH LANNING reports on an initiative that will aim at counteracting the anti-Palestine narratives spoon-fed to Western governments and the mass media by Israel’s propaganda machine
