Global Concerns Today
Occupied Nations (Where their culture is being threatened by a brutal occupying power)
Characteristic features are the military occupation by a foreign power, who is trying to change the culture by introducing its own people into the region, suppressing the indigenous language, and local autonomy.
Palestine
Where the people have been subject to a long and brutal occupation.
May the occupation soon end and the people be free!
Principles for the Solution of the Occupation of Palestine
1. Two sovereign states--Israel
and Palestine--living side by side in peace and security based on the borders of
June 4, 1967 with mutually agreed upon territorial adjustments.
2. An end to the Israeli occupation and the evacuation of all Israeli
settlements, save for equitable arrangements mutually agreed upon by the
negotiating parties.
3. A just solution for the Palestinian refugee problem, in accordance with
international legality and the relevant UN resolutions.
4. A shared Jerusalem open to all faiths, serving as the capital of two states,
providing for the fulfillment of the political aspirations of both the
Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
5. Full acceptance of Israel by all Arab states, and normalized diplomatic and
economic relations throughout the region.
6. A "Marshall Plan" style package of aid and investment for Palestine and the
new Middle East.

West Africa
Too many guns, bought with money from diamond sales, support local warlords who cause instability.
Men are forced to mine the Diamonds under inhumane conditions.
Children are forced to be soldiers, instead of going to school.
Boycott Diamonds to stop the Blood Money!
