In this episode, Abby Martin looks at the shocking case of 5 men who were imprisoned by the US federal authorities, having been accused of being connected to Hamas. The men were convicted on the basis of the flimsiest of coincidence, whereas in reality they were really only charity workers trying to help the beleaguered […]
This is a fairly decent cover of the popular song with lyrics relevant to the oppressed people of Palestine. So long as Palestinians can sing of freedom, they will be free. – If you care, please give it a share –
This is a song of resistance for Palestine. Conflict and oppression breeds revolutionaries and nowhere are there more per head of population than Palestine. So long as the music continues, so long as the voices ring out in defiance, then the fight for justice and freedom will continue in the land of Palestine. The following […]

This is a fairly decent song and is well worth the listen. However, caution is advised as the accompanying imagery is tough to watch in places, but then again, this is the reality of life in Palestine under the brutal Israeli regime. – If you care, give it a share –
In this short piece we travel with the Palestinian-Italian Christian, Maha Yakoub, who introduces viewers to aspects of her ancestral homeland. As Maha is part of the recent Palestinian diaspora, she could be said to have a greater entitlement to be in any part of Palestine – including the part named Israel – than the […]
The use of cartoon imagery can be hard-hitting and effective. In this short piece of video, we see a compilation of cartoons, some from the famous Brazilian illustrator, Carlos Latuff. – If you care, give it a share –
