The Dark World of the U.S. Funding Israel's Apartheid in Palestine


Palestine Action continues to shut down Elbit Systems factories of death, producing killer drones and weapons, in England. Elbit constructed the spy towers, integrated fixed towers, on the Tohono O'odham Nation, which now allows U.S. Border Patrol agents to stalk O'odham at home with live cameras.


A Congressional report details the flow of billions of U.S. dollars of military aid to Israel, the sale of fighter jets to Israel, and the production of weapons at Raytheon Missiles in Tucson for Israel. It includes a report on the investigation of the murder of reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.

Chief Na’moks, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs, told the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights that the Hereditary Chiefs govern their land. Describing the widespread violations of human rights, Na'moks said the governments of B.C. and Canada destroyed their burial places. B.C. and Canada are issuing illegal permits on Wet'suwet'en land for pipelines. Pointing out that band council representatives are only elected for a period of time, Na'moks said, "We are hereditary chiefs for life." He said the governments of B.C. and Canada have carried out an invasion of Wet'suwet'en land. Na'Moks said he has been threatened with arrest and no longer travels alone out of concern for his safety.
