Remi Kanazi: The Do's and Don'ts of Palestine
April 12, 2011Poet Remi Kanazi shares some of the instructions given to activists for Palestinian causes.Rep. Cory Mason, Sarah Schulman & Omar Barghouti, and CEO Pay
April 11, 2011"If people don't have trust and confidence in their elections, it's really hard to have confidence in the democracy writ large," says Wisconsin State Representative Cory Mason, noting the "gross incompetence or malice" involved in the sudden appearance, a day and a half after the polls closed, of 7500 votes for the conservative candidate in his state's Supreme Court race.Remi Kanazi & Laila El-Haddad: What Revolution Means for Palestine
February 17, 2011"It's a reimagining of the middle east, what is possible," says poet Remi Kanazi of the revolution in Egypt, and Laila El-Haddad notes the direct impact that the Mubarak regime had on Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, which shares a border with Egypt. Laila and members of her family--including her small children--had been detained by the Mubarak regime.Dean Baker, Laila El-Haddad & Remi Kanazi, Wisconsin, and the Budget
February 16, 2011"People who want to see the budget cut are people who are advocating throwing people out of work, it's that simple," says Dean Baker of the pressure from conservatives on Obama's budget--pressure, it appears, that Obama is conceding to as he brags that discretionary spending will be the lowest since Eisenhower's administration.Creative Movements for Change in Palestine
April 2, 2010This week was the 34th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day, and also a day for awareness of the growing boycott, divestment, sanctions movement. Land Day commemorates the deaths of six peaceful activists in a demonstration, and today we talk about activism and its ability to make change.Drill, Baby, Drill, Palestine Land Day, and the iPad
April 1, 2010The announcement this week that Barack Obama would open up space along the Atlantic coast for offshore oil drilling wasn't a cruel April Fool's joke, sadly. The president who pledged not to "drill, baby, drill" our way out of energy and climate issues seems to be going back on his word.Boycotting Israel, The Goldstone Report, and Bloody Lowndes
January 18, 2010Recently on GRITtv we spoke with Hamid Dabashi on the movement in Iran. Dabashi called it a civil rights movement, and today as we celebrate the life and legacy of U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. we take a look back at another recent discussion of one of the biggest civil rights struggles of our time: the fight to liberate the Palestinian people.A Performance by Poet Remi Kanazi

March 30, 2009Remi Kanazi, the editor of Poets for Palestine and the founder of the web site Poetic Injustice performs his new poem Co-Existence. I don't want to co-exist/I want to exist as a human being/and justice will take care of the rest.Obama's Rick Warren Problem, Israel's Weapons, and the Bush Environmental Legacy
January 14, 2009Rick Warren, who believes abortion should be criminalized and opposes gay marriage, will deliver the invocation at Barack Obama’s inauguration next week. When first announced it sparked a lot of outrage. Obama has since announced that the first openly gay Bishop, Gene Robinson, will also deliver an invocation. Equal opportunity? Not quite.
