NOVANEWS Dear all, First off, t hanks to Paula for calling my attention to Luisa Morgantani’s detention today.  Very little about it in the press—local and foreign.  The one piece that I found in the press is nothing in detail compared to the article written by Rami Bornat (below).  Item 2 is about the Combatants for Peace engaging in theater, item 3 is about racism, but done it Gideon Levy style, and last but not least is item 4 about a musical duo that won’t be appearing in Israel.  Enjoy.

NOVANEWS Large oil companies are often not to choosy who they do business with, be it dodgy potentates in the Middle East, to the repressive Generals in Burma, but with the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico they are, thankfully, coming under more scrutiny. Time magazine has more: “To the list of Big Oil companies with p.r. problems add two more: Chevron and French energy giant Total. In a report published on Monday, the NGO EarthRights International accuses the firms of being implicated in human-rights violations in Burma, claiming that soldiers guarding Chevron and Total’s natural-gas pipeline in the country have murdered locals and forced others to do backbreaking, unpaid labor in order to keep the gas exports flowing smoothly.

NOVANEWS April 15, 2010 Zionists threaten to picket bar mitzvah of Goldstone's grandson Look at this article in the Jewish Chronicle headed, Goldstone forced to miss his grandson’s barmitzvah.
