A Necessary Reckoning With TorturePhilip Giraldi - The Council for the National Interest - The detainee treatment report is not an easy read, but it should convince a wider audience that the United States behaved wrongly post-9/11 and should now be strong enough to face the truth and initiate measures to ensure that nothing similar happens again.-rh 9/5/2013
Nothing Charitable About JNF - The Lands of the Jewish National FundYves Engler - CounterPunch - "Shutting out Palestinian citizens of Israel, JNF lands can only be leased by Jews.

According to the UN report, JNF lands are `chartered to benefit Jews exclusively`”29/4/2013

Israeli Property Theft is Nothing NewPAUL LARUDEE - Counterpunch - Israel had no intention of respecting the legal records of land ownership.

East Jerusalem Doc `My Neighborhood` Wins Peabody AwardEmily Hauser - The Daily Beast "My Neighborhood, a short documentary about settler expansion in East Jerusalem that this week received the prestigious Peabody Award. Directed by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi and Julia Bacha, My Neighborhood chronicles the story of Sheikh Jarrah, a Palestinian area in what is today Municipal Jerusalem, where settlers were able to obtain court-backed approval to evict Palestinian residents from their homes—or, in the case of the film’s central story line, part of their home, a home in which the affected family has lived since 1956—but to which other Jewish Israelis soon came in solidarity and support. That story of Palestinian-Israeli cooperation and nonviolent protest is the heart of what the Peabodys describe as an “honest, hopeful documentary.” ca5/4/2013
