    no war between Israel and Iran
    Happy Nowruz to all our Iranian friends—may this be a year of great creativity, fertility and peace across the world from east to west.

It is also a time to join together with peace lovers across the world who know from experience that war scars children, women and men for life.

    Some Words About Rachel Corrie (Anonymous)
    an op-ed by a legal intern on the Rachel Corrie case
    When I was asked to write something about the Rachel Corrie case, I was flattered by the request but was also somewhat daunted by the task. There is so much to say about this case from a professional (legal) and personal perspective. However, this request and your play—Sarah's War—are important reminders that Rachel Corrie continues to live on.

    Building a Blue-Green Coalition in California
    a progressive Democrat leaves the party for greener pastures
    After the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, with its codification of imprisonment without charge or trial, I could no longer register voters for the Democratic Party—even with the hope of involving new registrants in the California Democratic Party's popular Progressive Caucus. If I could not ask someone to join the Democratic Party, I could not in good conscience stay in the party, even as an insurgent writing resolutions and platform planks to end our wars for oil.

    Jewish Censorship in Britain Hounds Outspoken Israeli
    Gilad Atzmon and Norman Finkelstein marked as Enemies Number One

Nowadays, it is pretty much the opposite. Here in Britain, Jewish nationalist lobbies are engaged in several kinds of repressive behaviour. Their practices include: bullying and harassment, disinformation, and smear campaigns.

    "London River" Asks Us to Reconsider the "Clash of Civilizations"
    Rachid Bouchareb's quiet drama dissects Islamophobia across the pond
    Not a whole lot happens in London River, which sets it apart from Rachid Bouchareb's other recent films - sweeping epics like Days of Glory and Outside the Law. Here, the Franco-Algerian director has elected to work on the other end of the scale, and the result is a small, subtle piece that nevertheless packs a hefty emotional punch.
