Link na peticiju: Stop Syria's Deadly Assault on Homs
Na linku možete potpisati peticiju Amnesty Internationala upućenu ministru vanjskih poslova Rusije Sergeiju Viktorovichu Lavrovu kojom od ruske vlade tražimo da iskoristi svoj međunarodni utjecaj kako bi se zaustavila teška kršenja ljudskih prava u Siriji i odgovorni za zločine priveli pravdi. Rusija je prošli vikend zajedno s Kinom, stavila veto na rezoluciju Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a o Siriji. U nasilju u Siriji od ožujka prošle godine ubijene su tisuće ljudi. Samo tijekom prošlog vikenda u napadima vladinih snaga na grad Homs ubijene su stotine ljudi, uključujući više od 12 djece. Rusija, koja snažno podupire Assadov režim, mogla bi odigrati ključu ulogu u zaustavljanju ubijanja i krvoprolića. Nakon stavljanja veta u Vijeću sigurnosti Rusija je najavila kako ima bolji plan za rješavanje krize, no veto je poslužio samo kao zeleno svjetlo Assadovom režimu da se u gušenju otpora nastavi služiti svim sredstvima. Zatražite od Rusije da poduzme javne i odlučne korake kojima će se suprotstaviti kršenjima ljudskih prava koja se odvijaju u Siriji.

PALESTINA/IZRAEL:
Palestinians' normalization debate has deep historical roots
Before the rise of Nazi anti-Semitism, the Zionist project appealed to very limited segments of both Jewish and international public opinion. In fact, it was perceived either as a reactionary colonial project doomed to fail (by the General Jewish Labor Bund and famous philosopher Hannah Arendt, for example), or it was viewed as a romantic but unrealistic utopia (the majority of the Jewish bourgeoisie), or as a downright blasphemy (Orthodox Judaism). Until 1933, it seemed highly unlikely that the Zionists' modest colonial enterprise, revolving around collective farming communities, would become a full-fledged modern state. But Nazi anti-Semitism provided the opportunity to radically change the nature of the Zionist project. Hitler's rise saw a new wave of well-trained and highly educated Jewish immigrants coming to Palestine with modern technologies, know-how, and capital. In 1945, hundreds of thousands of survivors that no Western country wanted to host provided both the pretext and the human material for the fulfillment of the Zionist project: a Jewish State in Palestine. The indigenous Arab population of Palestine, a group that was not responsible for the Holocaust, was the victim of the Western decision to repair for the crime of genocide that occurred in Europe. No wonder the Arabs and Palestinians opposed the UN Partition Plan of 1947, which allocated a majority of the land to the new Jewish minority.
