Palestinian Women Tell Their Stories
May 13, 2015, 10:20 a.m.
A lawyer, a college student, a doctor, and a torture victim turned community activist, offer their own narratives about their lives, growing up, and now as activists in the struggle for justice in Palestine.
The narrative of Palestinian culture, history and identity has been dominated by Zionists seeking to make them disappear; to destroy the evidence of their past; memoricide. How else to explain the contradictions in the founding myth of the State of Israel and it's murderous, racist policies used to establish and necessary to maintain the repression of Palestine and Gaza?
As the poem recited by Sahar Halabi states, they are growing stronger in their resolve for justice and taller in the righteousness of their cause.
The Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement is uniting people from all backgrounds in a common struggle for justice on college campuses in the United States by challenging the false Zionist narrative. The forum was organized by a student group at Columbia College in Chicago, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

The Irish National Liberation Struggle
May 13, 2015, 1:16 a.m.
Now that everyone's St Patrick's Day hangovers have worn off, I believe it is my personal duty as someone of Irish descent to bust commercialized stereotypes of green beer, drunken brawls, and stupid t-shirts with stupid stuff written on them, and talk about the real history of my people. Because 800 years of sustained resistance against the British Empire by a people and culture that stubbornly refused to die is not something that should be trivialized or forgotten, especially when that resistance continues to this day. There is a reason why the people of Ireland, Britain's first colony, have stood for so long in solidarity with the people of Palestine, South Africa, Cuba, African-Americans and other nations and peoples that have struggled against imperialism all over the world. The term "the fighting Irish" isn't about beating each other senseless in a bar room brawl, it's about standing up against empire and having the audacity and spirit to fight back by any means necessary.

The Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction: Nuclear Winter, FOUR
May 12, 2015, 7:32 p.m.
Ever since the astrophysicist Carl Sagan coined the term of nuclear winter in 1983 an additional global risk of nuclear war became evident. Even a limited nuclear exchange would pose a grave danger to all life. If it was not by nuclear blast, fire and radiation - it would be by nuclear winter. High altitude dust clouds that spread through the stratosphere can block the sun for years and even decades and threaten the global ecology and with it the sources of food.
Professor Alan Robock, the speaker in this program, was already a participant in the scientific debates of the 1980. He praises the reduction in numbers of nuclear weapons but reminds us that "the environmental threat of nuclear war has not gone away." "The world faces the prospect of a smaller, but still catastrophic, nuclear conflict." Robock writes, "there are now nine nuclear-weapons states. Use of a fraction of the global nuclear arsenal by anyone, from the superpowers to India versus Pakistan, still presents the largest potential environmental danger to the planet by humans.
Alan Robock teaches in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University. He is an IPCC lead author, and was a member of the organization when it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He was one of the acclaimed speakers at the Symposium on The Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction, organized by Dr. Helen Caldicott. The two day event on February 28 and March 1st, 2015, brought together 20 plus speakers.
