American public opinion is changing. Today at a golf course in Hawaii, five people tried to get Gaza material to Obama, and the Secret Service stopped them. The activists' statement:
have been fighting for their land, pride and children for over 100
years. Today, one of Israel's major newspapers, Ha'aretz, has condemned
Israel's slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children and in no
uncertain terms: Israel is and has been committing war crimes. We look
forward to your presidency…more than any other in our lifetime.
I think Obama is hip. I keep saying that, we'll find out if I'm wrong. Jerome Slater, in the Buffalo News, agrees:
Free speech is under attack—especially when it comes to Palestine.
From the censorship of student voices to the assassinations of journalists in Gaza, the cost of telling the truth about Palestine has never been higher. At Mondoweiss, we publish fearless reporting and critical analysis that others won’t touch—because we believe the public needs to know the truth about Palestine.
We’re funded by readers who believe in justice, transparency, and freedom of the press.
