Simone Bitton: Telling Rachel Corrie's Story
October 8, 2010Rachel Corrie was an American activist with the International Solidarity Movement. In 2003, she took a plane to Israel to act as a human shield, preventing Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes and property. In Rafah, she was kneeling in front of a home when a bulldozer aiming to demolish it crushed her to death.Danny Schechter, Rachel Corrie, and Afghan War Anniversary
October 7, 2010The controversy over home foreclosures is spreading--today, the White House blog and twitter announced that President Obama would not sign a bill that could have an impact on foreclosure documents because of the ongoing problems. In a nutshell, huge numbers of Americans have found themselves foreclosed on by banks that had faulty or incomplete documents. Three major firms have actually declared freezes on foreclosures, and Congress is calling for an investigation.In Memory of Rachel Corrie
