Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested, detained, deported, and/or imprisoned many people that it has unilaterally determined to be undesirables.  At first, they claimed they would deport only criminals, but it has already gone beyond that.  We at the Free Press consider every person who has been sent to the Tecoluca (El Salvador prison), Guantanamo naval base, or detained in other prisons throughout the country to be innocent until proven guilty. We will include students who have been expelled for protesting genocide.  It appears the government will revoke Visa's to get rid of undesirable students.  This article will be updated as long as is necessary.

Feminism has a crucial role to play in modern life, but I sometimes wish it would leave our fairy tales alone. The results of its revisionist meddling are too often unconvincing and unsatisfying.

Remember last year’s Maleficent? It turned an age-old story on its head by revealing that the fairy (Angelina Jolie) who turned a princess into a “Sleeping Beauty” was not evil at all. No, she was merely wronged and misunderstood. Worst of all, we learned that the somnambulant princess could not be awakened by a kiss from the handsome prince, but only by a motherly peck from that same fairy.

How heartwarming. And how utterly unromantic.

Thank goodness Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella doesn’t wear its feminism on its sleeve. It has nods to modern sensibilities, to be sure, but they’re handled with a lighter touch.

Attorney James M. Branum of the Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild (NLGMLTF.org) and the Oklahoma Objector Community (OKObjector.org) will be teaching a 2-hour live webinar on the topic of Illegal Orders Under U.S. Military Law. Veterans For Peace.  

When you imagine being safe, you imagine comfort and predictability. You imagine your bed, your backyard, a warm shower. You do not imagine kidnapping, armed conflict, or countries so unstable that U.S. troops are ordered to stay behind fortified walls.

But this is what the Trump administration has labeled “safe,” a place it can now send not only the 232 South Sudanese people who just lost protected status, but anyone who dares to seek asylum in the United States.

As has been reported, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will yet again be in Washington on Monday December 29th. It is a visit that initial media reports claimed had been requested by Trump, which would underline the value of the relationship to the US president. Nevertheless, there have also been some suggestions that Netanyahu, working through his Embassy in Washington and employing the considerable resources of the domestic US Israel Lobby, might have been the real force behind the fifth such meeting in Washington this year plus an additional meeting on October 13th in Israel to celebrate the non-ceasefire with Gaza which was being promoted as some kind of victory.

The Jewish lobby & the embassy of Israel in Italy are having a total meltdown over artwork by an Italian artist,Constantino Cervo,depicting Anne Frank wearing a keffiyeh and demanding the artwork be removed.

In November 2017, a doctored image of Israeli President Rivlin wearing a keffiyeh was seen in 2017 following the president's refusal to grant the Hebron shooter Elor Azaria a pardon. Azaria is an Israeli Death Forces (IDF) soldier who fatally shot Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, a Palestinian, in the head as the latter lay wounded and immobile on the ground near Hebron.

In November 1995, before PM Rabin was assassinated, Netanyahu attended a right-wing political rally where protesters decried Rabin as a "traitor" and "Nazi" and held signs of him wearing a keffiyeh. 

I do not recall that Palestinians took offense or felt insulted by either act. In fact, both Israeli leaders looked more dignified wearing the Palestinian head dress, better known as "keffiyeh" or "victory scarf."

Chris Cuomo says Dave Chappelle ‘should first tell his fans that he converted to Islam before making jokes about Israel. Seriously?!
 
What does one's religion have to do with being critical of Israel? There are Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus critical of Israel; do they also need to announce their religion? 
 
Does Cuomo know there are Palestinian Christians who are also impacted by Israel's occupation and genocide and therefore just as critical as Muslims.  
 
Looks like the "Israel-first crowd" is become less and less relevant. They know they are losing the narrative and therefore making it a religion issue.
 
Chris Cuomo is so out of touch he doesn't know what standup comedy is. Hey, here's a novel idea. He was never a good reporter and only was because his brother was governor.
Once again, being antisemitic and anti-Israel are two completely different things. Why is this so hard for MAGA to get?
 
Besides, why is Chris Cuomo speaking to us about Israel? Who cares if we are in America?
