EU citizens: the coming elections for MEPs are very important for freedom on the internet.

US citizens: call on Congress to require regular reports on US drone attacks.

Everyone: tell CNN to stop broadcasting global heating denialism.

The "peace talks" between Israel and Palestine "failed" because the US was unwilling to do anything that displeased the most anti-peace camp in Israel: the fanatical "settlers".

Peace can be made whenever the world puts enough pressure on Israel to convince the Israeli government to accept a fair deal.

Perhaps Palestine has been encouraged to defy the US pressure to go along with useless negotiations because of support from Russia.

Venezuelan opposition leader Lopez has been formally charged with inciting violence.

"Inciting violence" must be interpreted in a narrow and strict sense or else human rights are in danger.

The opposition gets its strength from the shortages of certain goods. The US can't be responsible for that. Buying goods from subsidized stores and reselling them could cause the state to lose money, but would not cause a general shortage of those goods in the country. It is Maduro's economic policies that cause the shortages.
