In the
past several days, Trump has appointed a new director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, Gina Haspel, who was a key player in the use of
sadistic torture and abuse in secret prisons. He has appointed a new
secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who believes in torture and abuse,
and supports the idea of regime change in both Iran and North Korea.
And now we have a new national security adviser, John Bolton, who has
recommended the use of force and regime change in Iran and North
Korea as well.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
