Analyzing Ariel Sharon’s Tenure<\/strong>
\nGUEST: Stav Adivi, Program liaison for Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, was a refusnik in the Israeli military<\/em><\/p>\n

\"ArielIsraeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke this week. He remained in a coma after two rounds of surgery. At the very least, it is likely the end of Sharon’s political career. According to much of the mainstream media, Sharon’s demise comes at a time when he was finally embracing a strategy of peace by pulling out Jewish settlers and most Israeli troops from the Gaza strip. Most Palestinians remember Sharon for Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, during which pro-Israeli Christian militiamen massacred hundreds of Palestinians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla. <\/p>\n

\"CoyotlOn Tuesday January 3rd, about a hundred immigrant rights activists gathered to protest Costa Mesa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s City Council decision to train local officers in immigration enforcement. They faced off with approximately forty supporters of city Mayor Alan Mansoor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s controversial plan. During the public comments section of the meeting, Minuteman Project founder James Gilchrist was present to express his organization\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s support for the plan. Local activist Coyotl Tezcalipoca of the Tonantzin Collective, who was a guest on Uprising, also addressed the council. As Coyotl asked his supporters to stand in support of Immigrants rights, Mayor Mansoor cut him off and declared that his time was up. Tezcalipoca was then forcefully taken into custody by police officers and later charged with disrupting an assembly and obstructing an arresting officer — this in full view of a number of media representatives. <\/p>\n
