9 Arrested in Good Friday Protest Against Drones at Hancock Air Base in NY - Top U.S. & World Headlines — April 17, 2017

2017-04-17T15:37:59.824Z

In New York state, nine peace activists were arrested on Good Friday at a protest outside the Hancock Air Base in Syracuse, New York. The activists blocked the entrance to the air base by tying themselves to crosses resembling drones. This is Charley Bowman of Buffalo Peace Center.

"Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Recognizing that 70 percent of our nation identify as Christian, we come to the gates of the Hancock drone base to make real the crucifixion today. As Jesus and others were crucified by the Roman Empire, drones are used by the U.S. empire. In Roman times, crosses loomed over the community to warn people that they could be killed whenever the empire decided. So, too, our drones fly over many countries, threatening extrajudicial killings of whoever happens to be in the vicinity."

Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer Raji Sourani Argues Netanyahu Should be Brought to Court for Killing Civilians

2014-07-21T17:38:12.430Z

"We are not here in defense of Hamas or the resistance group. ... But we are in defense of Palestinian civilians, who are entitled to protection according to international law, international humanitarian law, and human rights, entitled to protection according to Geneva Convention. We are called in law "the protected civilians", and what Israel is doing, we are in the eye of the storm: We are the target. ... Do you know 86 percent of those so far has been killed and injured, which we documented as a human rights organization, are civilians? ... they’re razing the entire area. All these acts are against civilians."
~Raji Sourani

"Binyamin Netanyahu committed quite a lot of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and he is responsible about deaths and what’s going in this hour. And I can assure you one thing: We will hold him accountable one day. He will be brought to the court of law. This rule of jungle he and his government [are] doing against civilians will pay dearly for it."
