As usual, many of the US mainstream media tailor their news to benefit
special interests and show as little as possible of the reality. Instead
they bring racist bigots like Steve Emerson (a Zionist and anti-Muslim) to
lie and distort reality. It is incumbent upon all of us to challenge this
media hegemony and utilize alternative media (including the internet) to
speak truth to power. Here are some things you will not see on Fox, CNN, or
major US newspapers.

- Kenyan Anglican Church backs divestment from Israel
http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_63421_ENG_HTM.htm
The United Church of Christ joined the long list of Churches calling on
Israel to tear down the wall and supporting divestments as tools to end
Israeli occupation (two resolutions posted at http://www.ucc.org/ ). The
resolution on on the wall reads in part "the 25th General Synod of the
United Church of Christ calls upon the Israeli government to cease the
project to construct the barrier, tear down the segments that have already
been constructed, and make reparations to those who have lost homes,
fields, property, and/or lives and health due to the barrier and its effects
as security for both peoples can best be achieved through an end to the
occupation and efforts to encourage access and contact, rather than
restricting and denying it;..." The one on using economic pressure "calls
upon the Covenanted Ministries, Pension Boards, United Church Foundation,
Conferences, local churches and members to use economic leverage,
including, but not limited to: advocating the reallocation of US foreign aid
so that the militarization of the Middle East is constrained; making
positive contributions to groups and partners committed to the non-violent
resolution of the conflict; challenging the practices of corporations that
gain from the continuation of the conflict; and divesting from those
companies that refuse to change their practices of gain from the
perpetuation of violence, including the Occupation.."
