NOVANEWS  by Michael Leon By Desmond Tutu, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner writing in the Huffington Post: It was with great joy that I learned of the recent 16-4 vote at UC Berkeley in support of divesting the university’s money from companies that enable and profit from the injustice of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and violation of Palestinian human rights. Principled stands like this, supported by a fast growing number of U.S. civil society organizations and people of conscience, including prominent Jewish groups, are essential for a better world in the making, and it is always an inspiration when young people lead the way and speak truth to power. Despite what detractors may allege, these students are doing the right thing. They are doing the moral thing. They are doing...

NOVANEWS  by Sherwood Ross Moroccan tourist officials may well boast of their luxury hotels designed to lure European and North American tourists but the regime of King Mohammed VI has much less to say about the hell-on-earth that is his prison system and of the torture of those inside. As the letters from United Nations officials urging his government to stop arresting and torturing innocent men fail to induce any change, maybe this appeal to travelers to seek other destinations will have some impact. Apart from your own personal safety if you run afoul (shudder!) of the Moroccan authorities, here are some reasons for avoiding this popular tourist destination. To begin with, Morocco has shown its disrespect for international law by illegally occupying the western Sahara and also by for...

NOVANEWS Dear, The WPA used public money to create jobs and build America. Tell Congress to bring back public job creation by backing the Local Jobs for America Act. This Great Recession has had a vicious double impact on local economies: First, nearly 1 in 10 Americans are out of work.1 Second, the downturn has starved local governments of resources they need to fix potholes, hire teachers and keep cops on the beat.2 But we can solve this problem and make our tax dollars do double duty by investing in public jobs that put people back to work. President Roosevelt did it during the Great Depression with the Works Progress Administration. And now progressive champ Rep. George Miller has proposed the Local Jobs for America Act to put 1 million people back to work in the s...

NOVANEWS “Zio=Nazi bid to expel West Bank Palestinians is a step too far “ [title of Zionist Haaretz Editorial Monday, April 12, 2010, item 4 below] Dear Friends, The 4 items below are on one and the same subject: the threat of expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank.  Each of the first 3 discusses a slightly different aspect or lays emphasis on a different aspect from the others, and therefore I have included the 3, all of which are reports. The final item on the subject is an editorial—an opinion piece.  It is a strong editorial, but not strong enough, as the words "a step too far” in the title should indicate.  The impending expulsion of a large number of Palestinians from the West Bank is surely not merely “a step too far”!  It is a potential NAKBA, a catastrophe!  Zio=Nazi regime...

NOVANEWS  by Johnny Punish Netanyahu compares Iran to Nazi Germany by AMY TEIBEL/Associated Press Writer (AP) Israel used the solemn occasion of Monday’s annual Holocaust memorial day to call on the world to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and to draw new attention to the plight of the dwindling number of survivors. The wail of air raid sirens pierced the air for two minutes as the country came to a standstill in a yearly ritual remembering the 6 million Jews who perished in World War II. People stood at attention and traffic halted during the moment of silence, as radio stations played mournful music throughout the day. At Auschwitz, Poland, thousands of young Jews along with Holocaust survivors marched Monday to remember those who perished in the Nazi death camp, and to ho...

NOVANEWS  by Michael Leon HateAs Israel issues new regulations authorizing the mass expulsion of Palestinians living in the West Bank, it’s worth considering the nature of this militaristic, apartheid regime. Consider Israel’s most ardent fans, captured on tape by Max Blumenthal and Joseph Dana last summer: Feeling the Love in Jerusalem from Joseph Dana on Vimeo.

NOVANEWS by Gordon Duff   FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD BEEN TOLD AIRCRAFT DISSOLVE WHEN THEY CRASH… By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor I was fortunate enough to have a friend who was an air crash investigator.  I had seen photos of real plane crashes and knew the 9/11 photographs were outlandish.  These are the photographs of the Tupolev 154, a plane roughly identical to those from 9/11.  The Tupolev carried 180 passengers with a takeoff weight of 230,000 pounds and the Boeing 757 carried 200 passengers with a takeoff weight of 255,000 pounds. After the crash, the Boeing wreckage filled three F-150 short bed pickups and the Tupolev wreckage would fill 10 semi-trailer trucks. FLIGHT 93 "CRASH SITE". A picture, as we know, is worth a thousand words and maybe, just maybe a few arrests ...

NOVANEWS  by Bob Higgins * By Robert Parry Consortiumnews * The next time CNN’s Wolf Blitzer boasts about George W. Bush’s “successful surge” in Iraq or Newsweek hails “Victory at Last,” you should think of the video released by Wikileaks.org this week showing the killing of a group of Iraqi men, including two Reuters newsmen, as they walked nonchalantly through the streets of Baghdad. Not only did a U.S. military helicopter gunship mow them down amid macho jokes and chuckling – after mistaking a couple of cameras for weapons – but the American attackers then blew away several Iraqis who arrived in a van and tried to take one of the wounded newsmen to a hospital. Two children in the van were badly wounded. “Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle,” one American rema...
