Bil’in weekly anti-wall demonstration pulls from Avatar film
an effective message at a fraction of Dave Cameron's budget.
Residents of the West Bank village of Bil’in have proven that innovative resistance can move walls. For a second time the village has won a ruling against annexation attempts by a nearby settlement via a wall that that is under construction well outside of Israel’s internationally recognized borders. People there continue to draw from whatever western Pop culture dishes out to keep the issue in the media. Last Friday, Palestinian demonstrators splashed on some blue paint and offered their own 3D rendition of Avatar as they marched against armed Israeli soldiers. Brilliant.

Jesse Brown: Save the newspaper
This is funny and sad when you have a newspaper career somewhere in your past and can still recall once having some sort of passionate feeling about them. Then you remember the incredibly thick-headed herd of corporate executive types who were basically doing news rags in faster than any other force ever could hope to, and that thing that could have saved them (the web) was looked at suspiciously by the majority of this same cadre of non-contributing mouth breathers who didn’t spend any time in news rooms and who could only imagine the possibilities of online distribution in terms of an outmoded, outdated business model that had been used for decades to erode independent journalism in favor of higher quarterly profits and car advertising inserts.
israeli Army violates Oslo Accords ( as usual) to arrest members of human rights organisation
And here we have further proof that the International Solidarity Movement continues to be one of the most effective organisations at bringing together diverse people to highlight the central crime in the region: the ongoing occupation of Palestine. Israeli occupation soldiers have invaded Ramallah (again) to seize international activists with ISM.
“The raid and detention of the two is in direct violation of the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which clearly forbids any Israeli incursion into Area A for reasons not directly and urgently related to security. Even the conduct of “hot pursuit” is disallowed in non-security related matters, which overstayed visas are.”
There are loads of people in Area A with various degrees of Visa rights to be there. ISM’s effective, longstanding platform as an international device for spreading news about the conditions Palestinians are held in by this foreign, occupation government make it a target of the military. In short: they only target you when you’re being effective. Still it begs the question why the PA would enter any such agreements with an occupying regime who have clearly shown no interest in any sort of peace deal or form of co-existence.

Applying the Null Hypothesis to the eternal
I just had to use the Null Hypothesis in my psych homework. So What’s p value for god?
“Our real enemies are not those living in a distant land whose names or policies we don’t understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it’s profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it’s profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it’s profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it’s profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us.”
