Palestinian Activists Ask Alicia Keys To Boycott Israel + Cancel Tel Aviv Performance

Palestinian women urge Alicia Keys not to perform in Israel

Alicia Keys is scheduled to perform in Israel next month in July. Some political activists are asking Alicia Keys to cancel the show. Several high profile figures such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Alice Walker and Roger Waters have reportedly expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement which aims at pressuring Israel to abide by “international law”. Protesters claim that the state of Israel is responsible for human rights violations.

There are a few articles online that compare the Israeli Government’s treatment of Palestinians to that of the treatment of blacks in South Africa during Apartheid or the U.S. government’s treatment of black people during segregation.

 

The film below is aimed at getting Alicia to cancel her show in Tel Aviv. The video features Palestinian women who resist the occupation of their Palestine.

That is not something I am willing to support or live under … I can’t in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they’re secretly building.”

2 Cops Fired for Beating Down A Woman On Camera

I spotted this story over at Yahoo News. It seems that two police officers from Jasper,Texas were fired after using excessive force to restrain a woman in the police station. The restrainee is named Keyarika Diggles. She was reportedly arrested for unpaid fines. To make matters worse Jasper has a reputation of a town with racial tension. The former officers involved are both white and the assaulted female is black.

  “The amount of force used was abominable,”
“She got her hair pulled out, broke a tooth, braces got knocked off … it was brutal,” – Cade Bernsen [Keyarika Diggles attorney]

The incident was captured by security cameras at the Jasper, Texas, police headquarters on May 5, 2013. Security cameras caught the incident fromtwo different angles. There’s no audio on the video but Diggles can clearly be seen being dragged by her ankles into a jail cell.

According to Yahoo News Diggles is being represented by attorney Cade Bernsen. Diggles was charged with resisting arrest for arguing with the officers but the charge was dropped according to Bernsen.

Miss Utah, Marissa Powell: We Need To “Create Education Better” [Video]

Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, was asked about the male-female income disparity in this country at the Miss USA pageant. Her response was very interesting. Sarah Palin herself could not have responded better. The video itself has gone viral and amassed 6,205,457+ views since June 16, 2013.

I think we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem and I think, especially the men, are um, seen as the leaders of this and so we need to try and figure out how to create education better so we can solve this problem.

Powell had a chance to answer the question again on the Today show with Matt Lauer. Check out that interview here.
