Palestine's weapon of mass instruction

Recent headlines from The Real News.

One world, one humanity, now one court to defend its rights. Another step towards universal human rights, but not remotely a step far enough. The United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights more than half a century ago, but that has done little to stop violations the world over, just as the Geneva Convention has not protected prisoners of war enough. Democracy itself and the freedom it presupposes has not been protective enough. This is the century to move from politicisation of human rights towards humanising political ways. IPS keeps an eye on that difficult path.

Unlike most other international news media, who report on Iraq from inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, IPS's Iraqi correspondents spread across the country to bring you some of the boldest reporting about this war-torn nation.

In addition to the historically unbridgeable divide between Israel and the Palestinians, a split is broadening between the militant Hamas and the relatively moderate Fatah groups on the Palestinian side. Israel faces its own internal disagreements on such issues as Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. And with every opening divide, trouble in the region escalates.
