Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Up to 150,000 Call For Gaza Pull-out

HeadlineMay 17, 2004

On Saturday, up to 150,000 Israelis rallied in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv calling for Israel to pull out of Gaza. It was the largest peace protest since the 1980s during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Polls now show that at least 70 percent of Israelis favor pulling settlements out of Gaza but so far Ariel Sharon’s Likud Party has his blocked plans for a pullout. Also over the weekend Israel carried out nightly bombing raids on Gaza City as it attempted to assassinate the top officials of Islamic Jihad. Israeli warships also attacked offices connected to Hamas and Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction.
