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!

Israel Resumes Bombing Raids in Gaza; Detains 200

HeadlineSep 26, 2005

Israel has resumed carrying out bombing raids in Gaza less than a month after the last Jewish settlers left the region. Over the weekend Israeli air strikes killed two members of Hamas and two members of Islamic Jihad including a top commander. Last night Israeli helicopters bombed parts of Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Yunis. Some 250 Palestinians were also detained in the West Bank. Israel said the bombing raids were needed to stop Palestinian rocket attacks. On Sunday Hamas announced a halt to Gaza-based attacks on Israel. The increasing violence in Gaza came on the same weekend that joint Israeli-Palestinian peace rallies were held in Jerusalem and the West Bank town of Ramallah.
