The Difference Between Liberals and Leftists
Ted Rall | counterpunch.org | 2019-07-11
Living as they do in a bipolar political world where politics consists of Democrats and Republicans and no other ideology is real, media corporations in the United States use left, liberal and Democrat as synonyms. This is obviously wrong and clearly untrue–Democrats are a party, leftism and liberalism are ideologies, and Democratic politics are frequently…

Republicans Scold Elizabeth Warren for Echoing Ariel Sharon on Israeli Occupation
Robert Mackey | theintercept.com | 2019-07-11
Right-wing Israelis, and their supporters in the United States, have spent the last 48 hours venting their fury at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, since the Massachusetts Democrat told a young Jewish activist that she would press Israel to end its military rule over millions of disenfranchised Palestinians in territories it seized by force in 1967. | To be more precise, Warren\'s critics, led by the Republican Jewish Coalition, have expressed outrage that she said, \"yes — so, I\'m there,\" when asked, as she campaigned for the presidency in New Hampshire…

Give Peace a Chance: Don\'t Believe the War Profiteers
Roy Eidelson | counterpunch.org | 2019-07-11
In late May, Vice President Mike Pence was the commencement speaker at West Point.

It will happen…And when that day comes, I know you will move to the sound of the guns and do your duty, and you will fight, and you will win. The American people expect nothing less.\"

The Honduran Coup — One Decade Later
Nick Alexandrov | counterpunch.org | 2019-07-11
Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Early summer. A hotel bar, a quiet night. You finish another beer. You press the barback for his thoughts on Manuel Zelaya, the president toppled ten years ago. The bartender taps the counter to interrupt you. \"That man,\" pointing to a far corner, \"bought you a drink.\" You turn to look. \"He has it there. He\'d like to speak with you.\" You walk, less unsteady than you\'d feared, across the room to his table.
