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.

Kerry Continues Harsh Rhetoric Against Iran During Israeli Visit

HeadlineApr 09, 2013

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry continued the Obama administration’s harsh rhetoric against Iran during a visit to Israel. Speaking in Jerusalem Monday, Kerry assured Israeli President Shimon Peres that no option would be taken off the table.

John Kerry: “We understand the nature of the threat of Iran, and as the president has said many times, he doesn’t bluff. He is serious, and we will stand with Israel against this threat, and with the rest of the world, who have underscored that all we are looking for is Iran to live up to its international obligations.”

Kerry met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday night. The two claimed progress has been made toward possible peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
