DemocracyNow.org - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech was warmly received by Democrats and Republicans in Congress on Tuesday. According to ABC News, Netanyahu received 29 standing ovations during his addressâ??four more than President Obama received during his State of the Union address earlier in the year. However, there was at least one dissenting voice inside the halls of Congress on Tuesday. That was Rae Abileah, a Jewish-American activist of Israeli descent with the group CodePink disrupting Netanayahu. Standing in the Congressional gallery, she yelled, "No more occupation, stop Israel war crimes, equal rights for Palestinians, occupation is indefensible." As she screamed, members in the audience tackled her to the ground, and undercover security forces later dragged her outside. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital where she was treated for neck and shoulder injuries. At the hospital, police arrested Abileah and charged her with disorderly conduct for disrupting Congress. Abileah's protest came as part a week-long series of actions organized by CodePink called Move Over AIPAC. We speak to Abileah about why she used non-violent civil disobedience to disrupt Netanayahu's speech.

DemocracyNow.org - Juan Gonzalez discusses the history of Latinos in the United States and how it relates to US political and military intervention in Latin America. Gonzalez, a Democracy Now! co-host and New York Daily News columnist, has just published an updated edition of his book, "Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America. "Originally released in 2000, the book explores the stories of Latinos from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and around the region. President Obama's trip to Puerto Rico was announced at a time when Obama appears to be making a concerted push to win the Latino vote in 2012. Earlier this month, Obama gave a major address to a mostly Latino audience in El Paso, Texas, calling for immigration reform. Democracy Now! airs a few clips from a new documentary in production based on "Harvest of Empire."

DemocracyNow.org - The future of negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians remain in doubt following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address Tuesday before a joint session of the US Congress. Democracy Now! interviews Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative, about the speech. Netanyahu insisted that Jerusalem will not be divided and that Israel's internationally recognized 1967 borders are "indefensible." Netanyahu also said Israel must "maintain a long-term military presence along the Jordan River" and he condemned the recent Fatah-Hamas reconciliation deal. Netanyahu's speech came five days after President Obama called for the creation of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps. "Netanyahu yesterday blocked every possibly for a negotiation for two state solution," Barghouti says. "Practically, he took away every possibility for a peaceful resolution because he wanted to impose unilaterally the outcome on every issue. ...He wants us to live as slaves in a system of apartheid and occupation." Barghouti is also the president of The Palestinian Medical Relief Society and a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

DemocracyNow.org - President Barack Obama has announced he will visit Puerto Rico next month, fulfilling his 2008 campaign promise and making him the first US President to visit to the island since John Kennedy's trip almost 50 years ago. A task force recently called on the United States to resolve the issue of Puerto Rico's statehood by 2012. "All of the four million people on the island and those in the US are US citizens, but they inhabit a territory that is separate and distinct from the rest of the United States that has its own language, culture, and history," notes Juan Gonzalez, who writes about the country in his newly revised book, "Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America." "It is this identity problem that really is reflection of the continuing colonialâ??Puerto Rico is the last major colony of the United States, one of the last remaining colonies in the world," Gonzalez said on Democracy Now! May 25.
