41 DAYS AFTER<\/b><\/u>

Obama Foreign Policy Looks Like Bush 41<\/b><\/u>
[I]n\r\nretrospect, the speech may be most notable for the other things Obama\r\nsaid that separated him from some in his anti-war audience.

Solidarity with Republic Workers<\/b><\/u>
People\r\nacross the country facing foreclosure, unemployment and economic\r\nuncertainty, saw in the fight back at Republic proof that it is\r\npossible to stand up and win--even against Corporate America.

UAW Givebacks -- More of the Same?<\/b><\/u>

AFGHANISTAN<\/b><\/u>

Resistance Takes Heavy Toll of U.S. Troops: 9 Killed, 27 Wounded<\/b><\/u>
\"It looked like something out of a Vietnam movie.\"

Truckers Stop NATO Supplies<\/b><\/u>
\"Why should we continue supply to those who are attacking our own brothers in South and North Waziristan.\"

IRAQ<\/b><\/u>

PALESTINE<\/b><\/u>

Gaza Held Hostage Should Outrage Us All<\/b><\/u>
Israel\r\nshould be treated in the same way South Africa under apartheid was --\r\nwith boycotts and isolation. Its government should be tried at The\r\nHague even in absentia and its officials should be liable to arrest\r\nwherever they travel.
http:\/\/onlinejournal.com\/artman\/publish\/article_4055.shtml

Prisoner Release is Just For Show<\/b><\/u>
The number freed on\r\nMonday was a fraction of the 11,000 Palestinians Israel holds. Most\r\ncame from the Ofer Prison in the Israeli-occupied West Bank where\r\nAbbas's government is based.
http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/reuters\/2008\/12\/15\/world\/international-us-palestinians-israel-prisoners.html

Mass Turnout for Hamas<\/b><\/u>
An\r\nestimated 200,000 Palestinians turned out for the anniversary rally on\r\nSunday, despite some expectations that the Israeli-imposed embargo and\r\nits resulting hardship for the 1.5 million residents might keep people\r\nat home.

Kristallnacht in Hebron<\/b><\/u>
Unconcerned\r\nabout arrest by the police or prosecution by the Israeli justice\r\nsystem, fanatical Jewish settlers in the Palestinian town of Hebron\r\n(Al-Khalil) have been attacking Palestinians, damaging and ransacking\r\ntheir property, exactly like Nazi thugs did to Jewish-owned property in\r\nGermany 80 years ago.
