Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Mahatma Gandhi Terrorism is a psychological war, terrorists depend on terrorizing people, so fear and cowardliness will control and change people’s behavior and divide their society. We decided not to let fear control our life or to get into our hearts. We decided that nothing will break our unity, nothing will destroy our country. The only way terrorism can win this battle, if we get divided or if we lose faith in our principles and strength. On the 24th and the 25th of January 2014, Muslim Brotherhood...

Tel-Aviv Yafo's mayor, Ron Hulda'i, reacted Sunday to the demonstration by tens of thousands of infiltrators from Africa, who assembled at Rabin Square and demanded that the government allow them to stay in Israel and work legally. "The demonstration today is only the beginning of a process that unfortunately will only escalate,” he predicted, “and I regret to say that we will see violence in the streets.” Hulda'i accused the government of ignoring the difficulties that the infiltrators face, as well as the difficulties faced by residents who suffer from the immigrants. He demanded that a clear government policy be...

Protesters showed their support of the Regulation Law in a demonstration near the Supreme Court shortly before a vote on the bill.

The so-called Regulation Bill requires anyone claiming ownership of land upon which homes are being built to file a challenge and prove ownership within four years of the start of construction upon the property. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who arranged for the five apartment...

'...not normal and very worrying' IOL News After a clearly sketchy election 'victory' by Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party, authorities in central Moscow were clearly caught off-guard by social-network-driven demonstrations (largest in years) from those who less than thrilled with Putin's authoritarian streak, official corruption and cronyism, and dubious return to the top of the ticket.  Youngish crowds shouted "Russia without Putin!" filled Red Square as the Russian Interior Ministry pledged 'as many troops as needed'.  Many were reportedly injured over the last few hours, with over 2000 hauled off in police vans as the crackdown arrived in full...

We had been on the sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion mill for quite awhile before the security guard arrived. Several abortionist staff had showed up already as had a few clients. Alongside me on the sidewalk were Catholic pro-lifers as well as several evangelicals who are part of the Vital Signs team: Keith, Carol, Bev, Quint, Val, Chet and Claire. We had been praying and, when possible at this difficult facility, talking to the clients across the parking lot.

More than 100 Northwestern University students watched as a naked 25-year-old woman was penetrated by a sex toy wielded by her fiancee during an after-class session of the school’s popular “Human Sexuality” class. The woman said she showed up at the Feb. 21 lecture in the Ryan Family Auditorium in Evanston expecting just to answer questions, but was game to demonstrate. The course’s professor on Wednesday acknowledged some initial hesitation, but said student feedback was “uniformly positive.” And Northwestern defended the class and its professor. “Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics,...

MoveOn is staging a protest in Dallas on Saturday the 26th. I was going to post the "call to action" from their site, but when I tried I got a message that informed me that MoveOn material is not wanted. So instead I will just put the location information up and give the rest of the material to those who specifically request it. It can be found at the bottom of this post. I remember the gathering we pulled off at the Cindy Sheehan circus down in Crawford. Can we do that again? Or improve on it? We can put...

What will happen Monday, history will record in less than 24 hours. The atmosphere is filled by suspense over the call for demonstration. Certainly the city is not calm. There were chants of "Allah-o akbar" across Tehran. People expect something to happen. Publicly, Mr. Karroubi and Mr. Mousavi have called for a demonstration in solidarity with the people of Egypt. Nobody thinks or believes this is about Egypt or will remain focused on Egypt. No wonder that their request has been rejected as illegal. Their advisers have announced that according to Article 27 of Iran's Constitution there is no need...

The Obama administration on Wednesday voiced its support for the Egyptian people’s rights to freedom of expression and assembly, as a second day of protests in Cairo saw police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs declined to say whether the U.S. still supports Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, reiterating only that Egypt remains a “strong ally.” “We have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the...

A rare anti-Vladimir Putin rally has been held in central Moscow, demanding the Russian prime minister's resignation amid signs he is planning to take back his old job as president. Up to 500 protesters from left wing and liberal anti-Kremlin opposition groups gathered on Moscow's Pushkin Square to call for Vladimir Putin's removal, kicking off what they said was the start of a campaign to oust him. "Our task is to free Russia from this awful regime," Garry Kasparov, a former world chess champion turned opposition leader, told the crowd. "Putin is Russia's disgrace."

Boilermakers who staged a large, rush-hour rally yesterday along Banksville Road to support energy production with clean coal technologies say they're trying to prevent their profession from becoming obsolete. Roughly 400 members of Boilermakers Local Union 154 held a morning demonstration on both sides of the key, four-lane traffic artery, near their union hall.
