Israeli Occupation and Settelments: The Roots of Unrest in Jerusalem
June 8, 2016, 8:31 p.m.
Zakaria Odeh, Executive Director of the Union of the Civic Coalition for Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem speaks about the
the non-violent campaign to resist Israel's efforts to ethnically cleans the historic Palestinian population from Jerusalem. He explains the original designation of Jerusalem as an International City under the United Nations. In 1967 East Jerusalem was occupied by the Israeli military and then quickly annexed. That move denied the Palestinians living there protection under the Geneva Convention. Mr. Odeh details the various means that the Israeli government uses to confiscate Palestinian owned homes under the pretext of public planning. The long term aim of the Israeli government has been to claim all of Jerusalem as the capital of the state and he speaks about how language, bulldozers and concrete walls are used to advance a plan, a Master Plan to insert a majority population of settler religious extremists who function as shock troops while receiving protection and support from the State.
His is an inspiring story of resistance in the face of State violence and racism against his community.
Mr. Odeh is also the President of Defense for Children International - Palestine. He speaks about the arrests and brutalization of children that the Israeli government conducts and a perversion of "house arrest" that Israel has developed to turn children against their parents.

Robert Fisk on the Armenian Holocaust
June 7, 2016, 6:37 p.m.
When on June 2nd, 2016, the German Parliament overwhelmingly adopted a resolution declaring the killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 a genocide, the Turkish government angrily denounced the vote as ânull and void,â. And Prime Minister Erdogan called his ambassador in Germany back to Ankara for consultations. Fear spread among German political leaders that Erdogan might retaliate and unleash tens of thousands of refugees that Turkey currently hosts.
Robert Fisk is the award-winning Middle East correspondent of the London Independent. He has reported from the Middle East since 1976, speaks arabic and lives in Beirut, Lebanon.
Fisk wrote on June 2, 2016 in the Independent that Germany now joined France and Russia and at least 18 other nations who accept the Armenian genocide as a fact of history, along with Pope Francis â with the US remaining the sole major exception.
Fisk was the only journalist who pointed out that the refugees and migrants, who Europe tried to keep out of come, in many cases, from the very towns and deserts in which the Turks committed their acts of horror against the Armenians 101 years ago.
Fisk writes that "The skulls and bones of Armenians still lie in the sands south of the Turkish border which Isis now controls; and when al-Nusrah captured parts of Deir ez-Zor, they blew up the Armenian cathedral of the Syrian city, took the bones of genocide victims from the vaults and scattered them in the streets." end quote.
Â
In the context of these events here is a talk that Robert Fisk gave to Armenian Americans in San Francisco in 2001 on the 85th anniversary of the Armenian Holocaust - as he chooses to define it. He had just been attacked in the media for using that word.

The Battle for the Bid - How Chicago Fought the 2016 Summer Olympics
June 6, 2016, 12:13 p.m.
Tom Tressor speaks about No Games Chicago and the methods used to counter the intense propaganda and the threats coming from the City to make Chicago's bid "a dun deal".
To read the Wikipedia entry on the Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, the "battle for the bid" as civic activist Tom Tressor calls it, is to miss the realities of the neoliberal and political corruption that have been at the core of Chicago since Jane Adams first spoke up about inequities or Upton Sinclair wrote of the putrefied meat that industrialist like Armour grew rich on selling to the US Army and civilians alike.
A feather for the then Mayor Daley, the debt and dislocation, that are part and parcel of contemporary Olympic industry ventures, would have been born by working class minorities, the poor, and the middle class whose representatives in City Council were ready to stick them with the tab, the loss of popular public infrastructure and affordable communities.
The No Games Chicago site: www.nogameschicago.com
lays out the full campaign which recognized that the key players were not Chicago's shallow and corrupt officials or LaSalle Street finance and real estate operators but the IOC members whom they convinced to take a pass on the bid.
Tressor speaks of his current projects that expose the lies of current Mayor Rahm Emanuel, regarding Chicago being broke, which have been the justification for looting the public schools and selling off city services and infrastructure to the financial parasites that are swarming Chicago like maggots a dead cat.
Tom goes on to speak about the path he has been on to revitalize civic engagement through projects like Civic Lab, The TIFF Illumination Project, a run for elected office and the "Chicago Is Not Broke" book project.
