Homes that the Palestinian people were forced to abandon in the 1948 war, which have been illegally held by the Israeli occupier state are now being sold off to private buyers with the help of American real estate companies.

This will make it impossible for the Palestinian people to ever return to their homes and represents yet another huge injustice perpetrated against Palestinians by Israel and America.

Notice the For Sale sign on the building in this video, its being sold through REMAX, a U.S. based company.

At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st. A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests (allegedly) shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes. The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St.

In the midst of the struggle, and the dust of battle, many people still don’t realize what this is all about… It is not only about land and rights …… take 2 minutes to see what it’s all about.

Is this how you want your tax dollars spent? Millions are unemployed in America, millions are suffering due to the criminal actions of the wall street mafia, 10,000 foreclosures PER DAY in America..... Do you want your money going to israel to bomb UN Schools, to murder children, to use illegal chemical weapons on the most densely populated area on earth. Are these the things you want to PURCHASE with your money, your tax dollars? It's time to end the looting of America. Take back the country and stop the bleeding of wealth to criminal zionist israel. Save America and Save the world.

Clashes between police and indigenous protesters over drilling for oil and gas in rain forest. Recent free trade agreements signed with the American and Canadian governments fueled the government to go ahead with changes to domestic laws that would seek to advance mineral, logging, oil and agricultural ‘development’ into previously untouched areas of the Amazon. This touched off a over-50-day protest that has shut down parts of the Amazon. Visit The Real News

On Monday, June 8, 2009, exactly 42 years after the USS Liberty (GTR-5) was attacked, in international waters off the coast of Sinai by Israel, members of the USS Liberty Veterans Association were at the U.S. Navy Memorial, in downtown Washington, D.C. Their purpose was to present a model of the vessel to the institution for it to be maintained on permanent display. Accepting the USS Liberty model on behalf of the U.S. Navy Memorial was its CEO, Rear Admiral Edward K. “Tad” Walker (ret); and responding on behalf of the USS Liberty Veterans Association was Ernest A. Gallo, its President. Mr. Gallo is also Chairman of the Liberty Foundation.

After the dedication ceremony, I interviewed a USS Liberty survivor, Petty Officer, (Shipfitter 3rd), Americo “Rick” Aimetti. He’s a native of Long Island, NY, and he was only 19 years old when he served aboard the vessel. He shared some of what it was like to be on the USS Liberty on the afternoon of the attack and the effect that harrowing experience has had on him and many of his fellow crew members.

The “Liberty” was subjected, on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, to an unprovoked assault by the Israeli Air Force and Navy for close to 75 minutes, with rockets, torpedoes, cannon fire, napalm and machine gun fire. Thirty-four crew members on the vessel were killed and 171 seriously wounded.
