An appeal court ruled that existing US nondiscrimination law is violated by workplace discrimination against homosexuals.

I suppose this will go to the Supreme Court, but the argument seems valid to me.

Israel designated Palestinians' land a "nature reserve" so they cannot grow anything. Just now it uprooted olive trees planted there.

Nature reserves are useful, but an occupation government has no right to impose such decisions on the occupied people.

The Israeli state plans to make a list of people that advocate boycotting products of Israel's colonies in Palestinian territory. A thousand Israelis protested defiantly saying, "Add me to your list".

They showed real courage. It's safe for me to advocate this boycott in the US, though recent politically biased laws now penalize any company that follows the boycott. In Israel, its supporters face real repression. Under a law passed a few years ago, anyone advocating such a boycott in Israel is subject to essentially unlimited financial penalties — as much as any inhabitant of the colonies wishes to impose.

The progressive candidate recommended by Correa narrowly won the Ecuadorian presidential election.

Bills in Congress would take away loopholes that multinationals use for tax-dodging.

Do you think Republicans will support them?
