Human Rights Workers To Accompany Palestinian Farmers
8am, Tuesday 31st of March 2009: Eight international Human Rights Workers (HRWs) in the Gaza Strip will be accompanying 25 Palestinian women farmers from the village of Al Amannat to their lands.
Al Amannat village is located east of Khan Younis, south of the village of Khoza’a. The farmers’ fields are located around 500 meters from the Green Line, the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian farmers have been repeatedly fired upon by Israeli forces for working their lands within 1km of the Green Line.
On the 18th February 2009 international HRWs witnessed the shooting of 20 year old Mohammad Ibrahim by Israeli forces. Mohammad was shot in the leg as he was loading parsley onto a truck approximately 550m from the Green Line.
The farmers and internationals had been working for two hours in full view of the Israeli forces and were leaving the area at the time of shooting.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
