Antony Loewenstein & Ali Abunimah: The Real Peace Process
July 21, 2010
Peace process, proximity talks, one state, two state...though these terms are often tossed around the mass media, they have been rendered virtually meaningless. Instead, we see footage of Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama shaking hands, waxing eloquently on the need for mutual peace as the US simultaneously slips Israeli more tax dollars to further cement their occupation of Palestine.
William K. Black, Real Peace Process, and Top Secret America
July 20, 2010
Former regulator, savings & loan investigator, and current Braintruster at the Roosevelt Institute William K. Black says that if Elizabeth Warren isn't appointed to head the consumer protection agency passed as part of the financial reform bill, it will be a clear sign that the agency isn't going to protect consumers at all. While Warren has done the research in the field for 20 years, he notes, other candidates preferred by Treasury Secretary Geithner have fallen more into the Rubin/Summers camp of deregulators.
March to Free Gaza
January 5, 2010
One year ago, at the tail end of the George W. Bush administration, Israel began a 22-day assault on Gaza. This year over 1300 people from more than 43 countries are marching to the Israeli border in a call for Israel to lift the siege on Gaza. In this footage from the march, 85-year-old holocaust survivor Heddy Epstein has been on a hunger strike for justice and she calls on Israel to do the right thing.

January 4, 2010
The triumphant stories about how Twitter was going to save Iran may have died down a little, but the resistance in Iran is growing and swelling. Protest on the Shia festival day of Ashura, December 27, resulted in the most violent crackdown since June and the death of opposition presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew.
Got Docs? The Battle of Durban II
December 18, 2009
The subtitle of Rory O'Connor's documentary on the Durban II conference is "Israel, Palestine, and the United Nations." Two successive United Nations conferences on racism went down in disarray, boycotted by the U.S. and other countries and causing more controversy than they addressed--mostly because of anger between Israeli and Palestinian supporters. O'Connor takes a look at the way the conflict over Israel took over the discussion.
Media Establishment, Mark Danner and Durban II
December 17, 2009
Joe Lieberman hijacked news coverage for a while this week, but it was Howard Dean's defense of real health care reform that inspired White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to a snarling personal response. Ben Bernanke was anointed Time's Person of the Year despite a hold on his renomination and a bill passing the house to audit the Federal Reserve. Is the Establishment closing ranks around its own?
Should We Stop Caring When the Bombs Stop Dropping?
