Common Dreams:
"Joined by retired military officers and national security experts, Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen on Thursday launched a campaign targeting the nearly $900 billion Pentagon budget and the $100 billion spent on nuclear weapons and 'to get our country to start funding the American Dream instead of the death of millions of people.'

Standing near Union Station in Washington, D.C. beside a towering sculpture showing what $100 billion looks like, supporters of the Up in Arms campaign—a planned four-year public education and advocacy project 'to bring common sense to the Department of Defense and the country's budgetary bottom line'—chanted, 'Money for the poor, not nuclear war!'

'There will be no peace, there will be no security, until we start using our resources to provide for the needs of our people at home and around the world,' Cohen said at the event. 'And we have the money to do it, at no additional taxpayer expense. If we take half the money budgeted for the Pentagon and invested in the things people need and want, the American Dream can become a reality again.' "

-->The NYT won't be the first newspaper to promote a nuclear free zone where people's needs are met. Our newspaper of record has been in favor of the last 9 wars the US has waged.

Electronic Intifada:
"Twenty months into its livestreamed and accelerating genocide in Gaza, it would hardly be controversial to conclude that Israel is one of the world’s most hated countries.

But a new global survey from the US-based Pew Research Center indicates just how unpopular it has become, especially in the North American and European states where Tel Aviv has always drawn its main sources of financial, military and political support.

'In 20 of the 24 countries surveyed, around half of adults or more have an unfavorable view of Israel,' Pew reported on 3 June. 'Around three-quarters or more hold this view in Australia, Greece, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.'
Pew says it last asked the question in 10 of the countries included in its new survey in 2013. 'In seven of these countries, the share of adults with a negative view of Israel has increased significantly.' ”

-->Bad news for Israel and its war crimes. But you won't get to read about it in the NYT.

Common Dreams:
"Hundreds of thousands of people dressed in red marched through the streets of The Hague on Sunday to demand more action against the "genocide" in Gaza.

NGOs such as Amnesty International, Save the Children, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and Oxfam organized the demonstration, which ran through the city to the International Court of Justice. The protesters were all dressed in red, creating a 'red line'.

Organisers described it as the country's largest demonstration in two decades. Many waving Palestinian flags and some chanting 'Stop the Genocide', the demonstrators turned a central park in the city into a sea of red on a sunny afternoon."
