Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Israel Accused of Breaking Ceasefire

HeadlineSep 11, 2006

Over the weekend, the Israeli military was accused of breaking the month-old ceasefire after it detained five Lebanese civilians in southern Lebanon.

  • Alexander Ivanko, spokesperson for the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon: “It is a violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement, and that’s why we got involved straight away and this is not the first time this has happened. And actually in all these cases, we have secured the release of all the people who have been detained by the Israeli Defense Forces since the cessation agreement was signed on the 14th of August. So we have succeeded in securing the release of all the people including the last five.”
