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.

Netanyahu Seeks U.S. Explanation over “Unacceptable” Spying

HeadlineDec 24, 2013

The Israeli government is seeking an explanation from the U.S. after becoming the latest country to be caught up in NSA spying. Documents leaked by Edward Snowden show the NSA monitored the emails of then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and other top Israeli officials in 2009. On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the surveillance unacceptable.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Concerning matters published in the past few days, I have asked for an examination in the matter. In the close ties between Israel and the United States, there are things that must not be done and that are not acceptable to us.”
