Anti-war activists planning to 'take over' White House Online announcement asks protesters to 'storm' executive mansion March 15 by Ron Strom February 28 2006 World Net Daily http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49026 A leading anti-Iraq war group is advertising a plan to storm the White House next month and "take it over" until the Bush administration vacates the premises. United for Peace and Justice, which claims to represent 1,300 local and national anti-war organizations, has a page on its site advertising the March 15 action.

Congress, Shape the Hell Up

Both Republicans and Democratics balked when they learned last month that the Bushies approved a $6.8 billion deal for a company in the United Arab Emirates to take over six of our ports with no investigation and without telling Congress about it.

Palestinians Will Never Forget

by susan abulhawa How can anyone watching Gaza burn escape the bitter realization that history repeats itself? Many have compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to Apartheid South Africa. But not in their cruelest hour did the Apartheid regime wreak such wanton murder and destruction. Let us stop mincing words. What is happening to Palestinians now whispers of Warsaw and Lodz. Schools, universities, mosques, police stations, homes, water treatment plants, factories, and anything that supports civil society, including the only mental health clinic in Gaza, have been blown to rubble from planes that rain death from clear skies without any resistance, because Palestinians have no opposing air force. Nor do they have an army or navy. No mechanized armor or heavy weaponry. Thanks to Israel, they haven’t even had continuous electricity or fuel for the past two years. Or food and medicine. Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza has prevented the movement of people and goods in and o...
