Human rights defenders in Israel face intimidation; Breaking the Silence meetings are cancelled, and people are afraid to criticize the right-wing dominance.

One fanatic wants thugs to systematically kill Palestinians rather than arrest them.

The accusations made by a right-winger against a human rights defender in the Tel Aviv City Council demonstrate the contempt for the truth typical of the right-wing that now dominates Israel. Look at his claim that Breaking the Silence is "silencing people" by publishing what Israeli soldiers say about what they saw and did in the occupation. The only adequate term is Orwell's term, "blackwhiting".

Israel has banned Palestinian prisoners from receiving books.

A few years ago, the UK banned prisoners from receiving books.

Yes, Bernie Sanders Is Questioning Hillary Clinton's Integrity.

She deserves that. I've questioned it for a long time.

I don't believe Clinton adopted her positions because plutocrats approached her and said, "We will give you money if you adopt these positions." She would never do anything so crass. Rather, she knew what plutocrats wanted (just as we all do). She could take a stand for their side without ever having a discussion with them about it.

Big banks would get a lot smaller if the US starts prosecuting their frauds. A group of bank whistleblowers recommend how.

I am confident Sanders will do this if we elect him. It doesn't require new laws, just serious efforts to carry out the existing ones.

French supermarkets are now legally required to donate food when it isn't fit to to sell but is still good to eat.
