The Nov. 7 drone strike that killed alleged al Qaida-linked operative Adnan al Qadhi outside Beit al Ahmar was just one of more than 50 American...

The Fishy Truth About Your Meat →
Forage fish like sardines keep our oceans healthy. So why are we feeding them all to chickens and pigs?
The marine world is one of our oldest sources of sustenance. In his 2012 bookThe Ocean of Life: The Fate of Man and the Sea, British scientistCallum Robertsmarshals strong evidence to argue that our leap from ape to larger-brained Homo species was driven by access to coastal shellfish, which...

socialismartnature:
There’s bitter irony in the UN’s recognition of a much-diminished Palestinian state on the anniversary of its 1947 partition plan.
Yesterday, the general assembly voted to admit Palestine as a state with observer status. Despite assurances to the contrary, the new state is likely to undermine the status of the PLO at the UN. Whereas the PLO represented all Palestinians, the...

1x9:
A new private force of former police officers which I have dubbed ‘GMO Cops‘ will now be hunting down any farmer who is replanting biotech giant DuPont’s GM seeds to save their failing genetically modified harvest. That’s right, they’re literally seeking farmers who replant Roundup Ready soybeans who are in violation of DuPont’s patent. And as the second largest seed company in the world...

My family in Palestine is excited about all of this, but people are frightened by what’s going to happen as a result.
Israel has threatened that they will take action to “topple” Abbas should he follow through with his UN bid. Israel is obviously very pissed, and beyond that, Settlers are going to be absolutely furious, and and it’s widely believed that Settler attacks and...

bobbyglobal:
The UN General Assembly has voted to grant the Palestinians non-member observer state status - a move opposed by Israel and the US.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the assembly the vote was the “last chance to save the two-state solution” with Israel.
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, said the bid “doesn’t advance peace - it pushes it backwards”.

MUCH WAS made of the perceived differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama on the question of Israel and Palestine during the past election season. But whatever “slights” the Israeli population or its supporters may have once felt due to Obama’s rhetorical condemnation of Israeli settlement expansion, “Operation Pillar of Cloud” should have settled the question of whose...
