Fighting Apartheid in Israel-Palestine - Susan Nathan, author
of The Other Side of Israel: My Journey Across the Jewish-Arab
Divide, was born in England. When young she visited family
and friends in apartheid-era South Africa, the country of
her father's birth. There that she had several deep encounters
with the social and political situation in that country. She
later became an AIDS counselor in London, and after she was
divorced and her children were grown, followed the Jewish
Law of Return and moved to Israel. In 2003, Susan Nathan moved
from her comfortable home in Tel Aviv to Tamra, an Arab town
in the northern part of Israel. There she discovered a division
between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs as tangible as the
concrete wall and razor-wire fences that surround the Palestinian
towns of the West Bank and Gaza. Read more... Read a review...

Student Movements Against the Anti-Immigrant Minutemen Project
- Karina Garcia, Columbia University student, is the Political
Chair of the Chicano Caucus. She was a lead student organizer
for the protests against the anti-immigrant Minuteman Project
at Columbia University earlier this year. She has become a
youth leader in the progressive movement for immigrant rights.
On Oct. 11, Garcia appeared on the radio show "Democracy
Now!" for a one-on-one debate with Minuteman Project
founder, Jim Gilchrist. On national media, Garcia denounced
Gilchrist's violent and racist organization, causing him to
flee the debate and cut off his microphone after the first
question.
