Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Annan: Israel Wall Threatens Peace

HeadlineDec 01, 2003

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan warns in a new report that Israel’s construction of a massive security wall in the West Bank could “damage the longer-term prospects for peace by making the creation of an independent, viable and contiguous Palestinian state more difficult”. Annan said the wall is expected to cut off 240,000 Palestinians from their communities and leave 160,000 Palestinians in areas almost entirely surrounded by the barrier which has been described as an apartheid wall and has been compared to the Berlin Wall. In October the UN General Assembly voted 144 to 4 to demand Israel tear down the wall. [ Download Report] In related news the Israeli army has killed a nine-year-old Palestinian and three suspected members of Hamas today during a large raid in Ramallah. Dozens of Palestinians were also arrested.
