January 1, 2010 - For months international, Israeli, and Palestinian activists have been planning the Gaza Freedom March. Organizers hoped an international delegation of 1300 activists from around the world would break the siege on Gaza by marching through Gaza to the northern border and through the Erez crossing, join the Israeli march. The Real News attended the Israeli side of the protest, and though the Egyptian government prevented the activists from entering Gaza, hundreds gathered to raise awareness of the desperate situation in Gaza a year after Operation Cast Lead.

Warning
Keep the Olympic torch out of kahnawake and all native communities

As you are fully aware the 2010 Olympic games have become a contentious issue within the Native world, due to the fact that in order to accommodate the games, native lands have once again been stolen in a racist act of aggression by the Canadian Government.

However, through this issue, the racism has reared its ugly face not only through the Government, but now, within non-Native citizens as well.

In an attempt to eradicate Native resistance to the I.O.C. sponsored theft of Native lands, the said bodies have launched a “fifth column maneuveur” upon the Native people designed to segregate ourselves on this issue.

The I.O.C. has allowed itself to be used by the Canadian Government to “divide and conquer” Native People, by taking special measures to involve Native communities in the Olympic torch relay, knowing full well that the Native people in the west who have had their land stolen, issued a request to all Native people to support them in their ban of the 2010 Olympic games.

Obama, Harper and Copenhagen
November 27, 2009

BERMAN: There's no question that the announcement that we wouldn't be receiving a legally binding agreement coming out of Copenhagen was disappointing, especially given the urgency of addressing global warming. But at the same time [...]

It's very disappointing to see that not only is the Canadian government not successfully reducing global warming pollution, but they're not even trying.
