It was not enough to starve and strangle the very life out of more than 1.5 million Palestinians living in inhumane conditions in Gaza, as Israel blockaded the Gaza Strip ... All of that was not enough to sate the appetite of the bloodthirsty Zionist regime in as it launched yet another massacre on the Palestinian people, killing more than 560 human beings through four days of brutal attacks on the occupied Gaza Strip with U.S. weapons and injuring nearly 3000 more! The only crime the Palestinians are guilty of is their desire to be a free people.

The Israeli military
bombardment of Gaza has left at least 350 dead
and 1,700 wounded, with the count climbing hourly. Israel's
slow strangulation of Gaza through blockade has also caused
widespread suffering to the 1.5 million people of Gaza who lack
food, electricity, water treatment supplies and medical equipment.
We
are witnessing an atrocious act of inhumanity - Israel must stop
bombing the Palestinian people! The U.S. government must call for an
end to the bombing immediately! Israel’s position of an eye for an eye
will only leave the world blind with hatred. Stop the bombings and end
the occupation!

When immigration agents raided Smithfield Food's huge North
Carolina slaughterhouse two years ago, union organizer Eduardo Peña
compared the impact to a "nuclear bomb." The day after, people were so
scared that most of the plant's 5,000 employees didn't show up for
work. The lines where they kill and cut apart 32,000 hogs every day
were motionless. "Workers think it's happening because people were
getting organized," said Vargas at the time.
In the wake of the economic crisis, retailers and businesses
understand that people are scaling back on spending, so they have
lowered prices. Gas prices are down more than 50 percent, and
virtually every major retailer is advertising huge sales. But have
non-citizens seen any reduction in the cost for citizenship?
Instead, the cost of citizenship is still on the rise - the fee
to even apply is up 69 percent. Over the past 10 years, the fee to
apply for citizenship has increased by 610 percent, while the
minimum wage has increased by only 27 percent.
In this time of economic crisis, the U.S. should learn from the
mistakes that got us here in the first place and start placing
values such as loyalty and integrity over dollars. It is time for
a fair and equal path to citizenship.
