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

Four Women Die in Suicide Bombing in Israel

HeadlineJul 13, 2005

In Israel, four women have died in a suicide bombing near a shopping mall in the coastal town of Netanya. The dead included two 16-year-old girls from Tel Aviv. 30 people remain hospitalized. The bomber was identified as an 18-year-old member of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad. Earlier this morning Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Tul Karm killing at least two people. Israel has put the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip under total closure for an indefinite period of time. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Israel’s Defense Minister ordered a suspension of talks between Israeli and Palestinian defense officials. Israel is also expected to postpone the planned transfer of Bethlehem to the Palestinian Authority which was set to take place later this week.
