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 TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Israel Resumes Assault on Gaza; 11 Palestinians Killed

HeadlineAug 20, 2014

Israel has resumed its assault on the Gaza Strip, killing 11 Palestinians after a 10-day pause in violence. Israel said it launched at least 60 airstrikes after Palestinian militants fired rockets in violation of the latest ceasefire, which was due to end at midnight. Since fighting resumed, Israeli strikes have reportedly killed seven members of a single family, including three children, as well as the wife and two-year-old son of Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. There were no reports of Israeli fatalities from rocket fire. More than 2,000 Palestinians, hundreds of them children, have been killed since the Israeli offensive began in July. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and three civilians have been killed.
