On this week's Soapbox, Cindy chats with Richard Falk
who just ended a six-year term as the 
United Nations Human Rights Council
Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Human Rights.

Professor Falk is a substantial peace activist who has a 
long and impressive C.V.


Richard Falk's Website  


Even though Israel has been steadily and illegally consuming most of Palestine for decades, the people of Gaza have been trapped in an open air prison camp (or reservation) where their movements and lives are restricted. This is an international humanitarian crisis and we call for an end to the illegal blockade and bombing of civilians who have no place to flee.

This is not about Arab/Jew, this is about human rights and peace. 



The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, called the waging of aggressive war "essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.

    Thanks for interviewing Richard Falk, Cindy. What a contrast it is, listening to him speak, and answering your questions with clear, knowledgeable answers than the slanted, pro-Zionist American cheerleaders for AIPAC and the carefully controlled print and television mainstream media outlets.

    Anonymous is just a shill for something. This "alleged God" doesn't bless anything, as he/she (?) probably knows. As far as the "mighty IDF" is concerned, they're just the ultimate bullies of the world...maybe in a dead heat for first place with the US armed forces.

    Whatever, the corrupt, morally bankrupt US Congress and the White House crime boss gave Israel the "green light" to initiate the Palestinian Holocaust.

    We reap what we have sown, for good or bad.The world has learned nothing, since World War Two.

    Still Truth-seeking After All These Years!     6 August 2022   Dear Loyal Soapbox Reader/Listener,   I have had this blog for 13 years now and there are almost 2k posts and 400 podcasts.    This service has become very unwieldly to use with the functionality becoming archaic and as a google product, it has begun to "unpublish" some posts that it deems inappropriate.   However, I will leave it up for eternity because it does have valuable archives and historical relevance, but I won't be updating it.   Please follow me at my new home at Substack   Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox Newsletter    There, I have found renewed motivation and vigor to attack the people and systems of our oppression and I am posting new Soapbox podcasts and have a new Video Cast called: Shee-Lilly which is a weekly collaboration between me and my co-host Dakotah Lilly (a Soapbox friend and favorite).   If you have not already, please check out our new home, and subscribe to get reminders every time

  SheeLilly#2 Cindy and Dakotah Rate the Final Season of the USA Cindy Sheehan Jun 10 Share This week on SheeLilly, Cindy Sheehan and Dakotah Lilly analyze the very collapse of the U.S. Empire that is happening right before our eyes. From Sloppy Joe Biden’s insane war against Russia in Ukraine and the Sanction Chickens coming home to roost here in the U.S., there is very little to be hopeful about, but we find something; If the U.S. collapses, how can we work in our communities to overcome the collapse and come back stronger!
