NOVANEWS ANOTHER human rights violation! Free Razan Ghazzawi now! Mary Rizzo: THEY ARRESTED RAZAN! I HATE THEM! because for years she has blogged about the prisoners in the Damascus Spring, she has blogged about all the detained bloggers, she is a human rights activist, she is a decent human being who I love very much. i hate them i hate them.. Damn fascists!!!! i hate you fascists!!! I guess you guys don't know Razan Ghazzawi. She's been a friend of mine for about 12 years, a Syrian who supported Hezbollah publicly and loudly and who now realizes that they don't give a shit about "Syrians", and they probably never did. So many Syrians saying the same thing, not ZIONISTS; not Israheil apologists, has got to make people sit up and think! but they go on repeating the same sort of stuff. ...

EU cotton: made by children in Uzbekistan

NOVANEWS Dear Friend, The start of the school year normally means nervous excitement, but for children in Uzbekistan it's a feeling of fear as hundreds of thousands are forced from their schools to pick cotton in life-threatening conditions. Schools are closed down for the three-month cotton harvest and children, some as young as nine, are forced to pick cotton by hand. Students who fail to meet their targets or refuse to work are beaten or can face expulsion from school. And the single biggest destination for this Uzbek cotton? The European market. Gemma Wolfes from Anti-Slavery International set up a petition on Change.org calling for the European Union to end the trade preferences on Uzbek cotton imports. This week, a group of school children from Eastbourne will be presenting the petit...

IsraHell Steps Up Police State Crackdowns

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman Israel never embraced democratic values. More than ever today that’s true. Many Jews understand. As a result, they’re voting with their feet and leaving. Gideon Levy remarked that “(i)t’s really an irony of history, because Israel was established to become a shelter to the Jewish people. Now Europe becomes a shelter for the Jews living in Israel.” So does America. New millennium exodus has a whole new meaning. Last year, Haaretz writer Bradley Burston headlined, “I envy the people who hate Israel,” saying: “….this is not the same country I moved to, so long ago. I learned when I first came that Israel was not the country I’d thought I was moving to.” Now it’s worse than ever because “Israel at its highest level has taken an executive decision. Unable to beat t...
