Democracy Now!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
"In a move opposed by the United States and Israel, Palestinian leaders have submitted a request to join the International Criminal Court and sign over a dozen other international treaties. The Palestinian Authority says it will seek the prosecution of Israeli officials for war crimes in the Occupied Territories. In retaliation, Israel has halted the transfer of tax revenues needed to pay for Palestinian salaries and public services. The Palestinian Authority opted to join the ICC after the United States and Israel successfully lobbied against a U.N. Security Council measure calling for an end to the Israeli occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state by 2017. We are joined by two guests: Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and author of "Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Primer" and "Calling the Shots: How Washington Dominates Today’s United Nations"; and Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada and author of "The Battle for Justice in Palestine."...."

Ali is great on Palestine , Absolutely HORRID on Syria. Never supported the Syrian revolution and regurgitates Liberal Zionist style thinking on the suffering of Palestinians inside Syria by blaming the armed fighters inside camps for the suffering and destruction of the camp , same way Israel blames existing of Hamas for destruction of Gaza.
