Link na peticiju: Depeche Mode: Drop Israel from your World Tour
Depeche Mode bi trebao 07. svibnja 2013. održati koncert u parku Yarkon u Izraelu. Park Yarkon je podignut na ostacima sela Jarisha, koje su 15. svibnja 1948. godine uništili pripadnici cionističkih milicija.
Na linku možete potpisati peticiju članovima Depeche Modea kojom ih pozivamo da zbog brojnih izraelskih kršenja ljudskih prava Palestinaca, uključujući otimanje zemlje, uništavanje domova, etničko čišćenje, aparthejd i kolektivno kažnjavanje civila, otkažu planirani koncert i pridruže se brojnim drugim savjesnim glazbenicima koji podupiru kulturni bojkot Izraela.

Depeche Mode, It's Time to Start Playing Your Part: Boycott Israel! (video)
Palestinian prisoners showcase their own misery
The pictures illustrate the misery of daily life for Palestinian prisoners; how they eat, sleep and spend their times in Israeli jails. The organisers call the prisons "tombs for living people". Some of the photographs show those prisoners in need of medical attention who are kept in dirty rooms with a single bed and one pillow. In others, the brutality and callousness of the Israeli guards is clear as some are shown firing tear gas at the prisoners. As the organisers point out, all of this is taking place in front of the eyes of the world but there is very little compassion or care for the Palestinian prisoners being held, often without charge or trial, by Israel.

ŽIVOTINJE:
Op-Ed: Landmines Are Hugely Destructive to People and Other Living Things
Every year, between 4,000 to 5,000 people are killed or maimed by landmines. Approximately, 72 percent of the casualties are civilians, and 30 to 40 percent of those are children under the age of 15 years old. Considering there are still tens of millions of landmines in the ground in 78 countries, is it any wonder that 11 to 12 people are injured or killed each day? ... Since Soraida opened FAE in 1993, she knows of 90 elephants that have stepped on landmines along the Thai-Myanmar border. Of those, 15 made it to FAE, eight healed and were returned to their owners, four passed away, three still remain under FAE's Elephant Hospital, and two are walking with prostheses. ... Until the remaining 35 countries sign the Mine Ban Treaty and we consistently fund landmine clearance around the world, we will continue to have human and non-human casualties.
