I find your hand-wringing over water and sanitation issues to be disingenuous. Obviously the city can provide freshwater and Porta potty's so that's not really an issue.
They are not "hoarding", they are gathering together for survival. You are confusing the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society with corporations and the wealthy who are hoarding housing. They are in communal space because that's all they have, they have no where else, they have to exist in communal space. If the tent communities are smashed the people don't suddenly disappear, they simply disperse into the neighbourhoods making them even more more vulnerable.
What's this nonsense about building shacks in the woods? Do they have support systems there? Where is the food supposed to come from, what about medical care?
I saw him speak in Vancouver a-month before he died. I thought he had quite a few years left. It's really very tragic.
It's funny, everything in the article was verifiably true but because pro-Zionists criticize the source it got removed. Robert Fisk must be rolling in his grave.
"It's our job (as journalists) to challenge the centers of power, and to describe with our own vividness the tragedies and injustice and viciousness of the world, and to try and name the bad guys," Fisk says in an interview in San Francisco. "American journalists won't say what I can say. I think the New York Times should be called, 'American officials say.' At least, you'd know what you were reading. If journalism is about writing (stories) that look like government reports, then I'll go and do gardening or something."
On Wednesday evening, four civilians from the same family “including two women” were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the city of Nabatiyeh, a Lebanese security source told AFP, updating an initial toll of three dead.

I don't think we're getting anywhere. I'm going to block you. Nothing personal just I don't think there's anything more to be gained.
I'll ask you again, please point to any specific information carried in the article that you find false.
About Mondoweiss
Mondoweiss is an independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. We provide news and analysis unavailable through the mainstream media regarding the struggle for Palestinian human rights.
Founded in 2006 as a personal blog of journalist Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss grew inside the progressive Jewish community and has become a critical resource for the movement for justice for Palestinians. We continue to follow debates over the role of Israel and nationalism in Jewish American life while seeking to reflect a diverse community of views on issues of international importance. We recognize that Jewish voices are often prioritized in discussions of Israel and seek to challenge that dynamic by bringing a universalist focus to an issue that is commonly dominated by narrow points of view.
We publish original on-the-ground reporting, analysis by scholars and personal stories. As the site has grown, we have developed a large group of regular contributors who are committed to high journalistic standards of documentable evidence and reliable sourcing.
Mondoweiss editors select content for the site on the basis of our shared commitment to news professionalism as well as justice for Palestinians. We do not have a single editorial position on specific issues, but aim to build a diverse online community, with special focus on viewpoints generally ignored by large media outlets. Writing published on Mondoweiss represents the views of its authors and does not necessarily represent the opinions of the site or its editors.
If you have problems with specific content, point it out and we can debate it. If you simply don't like the website then you should block me.
This is the patch
