Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Kerry: Israel Should “Look Hard” at 2002 Arab Peace Offer

HeadlineJul 18, 2013

The move comes as Secretary of State John Kerry continues an effort to renew Israeli-Palestinian peace talks for the first time since 2010. Speaking in Jordan, Kerry said he thinks Israel should consider the long-standing Arab League peace initiative that pledges normalized relations and full recognition if Israel withdraws completely from the occupied territories seized in 1967.

Secretary of State John Kerry: “Israel needs to look hard at this initiative, which promises Israel peace with 22 Arab nations and 35 Muslim nations — a total of 57 nations that are standing and waiting for the possibility of making peace with Israel.”

Israel has long dismissed the original Arab peace offer because it wants to keep the large, illegal settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank.
