Some people imagine that "Venezuela is a dictatorship that people are fleeing". The reality is very different: a democracy, where the people have elected socialist governments in recent years, ensuring less poverty, more human rights, & more people coming

The guns were seized from prisoners, & people arrested for violent crimes. In polls, Venezuelans say crime/insecurity is the most serious issue affecting Venezuela. Govt stats show that homicides rose from 1999-2007, but with new reforms, are now dropping

SHAME: Australia & the USA were among 18 countries that voted AGAINST the U.N. Goldstone report into Israel�s war on Gaza. Over 1400 Palestinians & 13 Israelis (including 10 soldiers), were killed in the massacre. The report showed most were civilians.
