Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. 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 – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Ahmadinejad Greeted with Mass Rally in Lebanon

HeadlineOct 14, 2010

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in Lebanon on the first-ever state visit there by an Iranian president. On Wednesday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah welcomed Ahmadinejad with a mass rally.

Hassan Nasrallah: '’There are sides that are always promoting the notion that Iran is a source of strife and that it seeks to divide and tear the ranks. And here we have to say the truth, that the Islamic Republic is one of the most important guarantees today in our Islamic world and in the whole world for stopping strife and preventing war and helping the helpless.'’

Ahmadinejad is visiting Lebanon’s southern region bordering Israel today.
