The former chief negotiator for Palestine, Erekat now serves on the Palestinian Parliament as a member of Jericho.

The current Minister of Justice for Israel, Livni was slated to serve as majority party leader in 2009, but failed to form a coalition government.

This applies only on the unfocused level: thousands are removed from the country daily, or otherwise imprisoned and deported.

Amnesty implies a level of security and comfort, where the person gains certain rights under law that otherwise are not offered. Current immigrants lack these rights, living a life of constant fear and persecution. “Doing nothing” is not amnesty, as it actually does not regulate or provide for anything.

Thoreau’s “civil disobedience” meant that, for the good of morality, Nazi soldiers and officers should have actively resisted genocide and terror, rather than participate under the threat of death. “Following orders” meant, in the moral sense, participation, and thus guilt. This was the crux of the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi officers, where the “following orders” defense was deemed amoral.

Military law in most countries does indeed include clauses for disobeying orders. In the United States, Articles 90-92 make it a crime to disobey orders, but only those which are lawful – soldiers and officers are not required to follow illegal orders (which violate the Constitution) and are liable if they do so. Snowden’s attachment to military law, due to his status as a contractor, is, however, questionable.

The military attempted to fight General Zod on civilian grounds, rather than drawing the enemy away from population centers. This is basic strategy, and a considerable failure to follow procedure. As a result, they destroyed personal and public property for little reason. This ignores the fact that they refused to believe Superman and engaged the practically invincible force.

KAC estimates a clean-up cost of approximately $2 trillion, roughly one half of the entire U.S. budget. To compare, the estimated clean-up cost for Hurricane Katrina was $150 billion. Most likely, Metropolis will never recover.

Zod, seeking to transform Earth into a new Krypton, unleashed a terraforming machine on Metropolis. The death beam created a path of destruction on the scale of a nuclear weapon, utterly demolishing Metropolis and the surrounding area. Zod later attacked Superman through the streets, destroying and killing more.

The drone program scandal was used advantageously by the White House to show solidarity and security. It also gave them a conduit through which to launch “White House supported” leaks, which could be published and promoted freely. It has been speculated that such “official” leaks are a policy of the administration, meant to allow the apparent flow of information without compromising secrets, a pseudo-leak. Unlike Snowden’s leaks, these can be controlled and are not prosecuted.

Abolitionism, the movement to “abolish” slavery, gained heavy popularity during the Civil War period. A key feature of abolitionism was the “civil disobedience” toward pro-slavery laws, either in intentionally challenging racist “Jim Crow” laws or in preventing slave trade/aiding escaped slaves. The efforts of these movement, however impossible to know the numbers of, indeed helped to dismiss the laws.
