How Whole Palestine Transformed to Jewish Ghetto of Warsaw
Current rating: 0
11 Jul 2006
Read the articles of Ron, Virginia and face the real life in that region.

I used to spend quite a lot of time watching WWII documentaries.
I was trying to understand how NAZI ideologies emerged, that caused loss of many millions of innocent lives.
One of them was proud Warsaw uprising, destruction of city and Jewish Ghettos.
Nazi generals on tanks showing homes where there are feeble resistance, than huge tanks and German military machine was destroying the lives and homes of European Jewry who lived there many thousand years. They were part of culture economy and social life. They were already stamped on their clothes in the ghetto and unable to leave and move around their neighborhood.

The routine collective punishment of Nazis, destroying everything related to resistance was their main method of oppression.

Palestinians are prisoners in their own country, for fifty years. Occupying and expanding settlers, check points, daily insults, loss of basic human rights, the collective punishment at Gazza, Jenin the shameless and racist destructive power of Israeli army is exactly same as Nazis.

Recently, electrical network, generators, bridges and roads are destroyed. Children are dying in hospital’s emergency departments because of loss of power.

Nazis were war criminals, Israeli government and army generals are war criminals, and our government and generals in Iraq destroying that country are war criminals.

They will face the judgment of the history in most shameful pages.
But we wont wait too long to give them the lessons they deserve.

LOCAL Announcement :: Elections & Legislation
Democracy needs YOUR help!

11 Jul 2006
On Monday, June 26th, The Illinois Green Party filed over 39,200 petition signatures with the Illinois State Board of Elections - more than 14,000 signatures over the legal requirement.
Despite this colossal effort, however, we now have another fight on our hands, as the Democratic Party machine is still looking to bar us from the November ballot! On Monday, July 3rd, their operatives filed objections to the State Board of Elections, seeking to invalidate our petitions.
Despite having the advantages of incumbency, a campaign fund stuffed with large corporate donations, and a well-oiled political machine, the Democratic Party establishment apparently doesn't want to risk letting the voters have a chance to vote Green.

This is an outrage: The objections to our petitions are an orchestrated attack against a fundamental democratic right. They constitute an attempt to take away what many Illinois voters have demanded: more (and better) choices on the ballot this November.

Famed Photographer Leaves Social-Activist Legacy for Son

11 Jul 2006
Early on, Milton Rogovin made the decision to edit the story he was telling. A frequent sight on the streets of Buffalo's impoverished Lower West Side was someone sleeping off a drinking bout. But he turned his camera away.

"My idea was that if I couldn't show a rich, white guy drunk somewhere, I'd better not show this poor bastard drunk," Milton Rogovin said in an interview a few years ago with Cheryl A. Brutvan of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. "To add to their misery, what's the sense?"
