Israeli Marxist politician who rejected Zionism and championed Palestinian rights, Meir Vilner has died aged 84. Meir was the youngest and last surviving of the 37 signatories to Israel's 1948, declaration of independence. As the Jewish leader of the Communist party of Israel, Meir eventually rejected zionism, publicised his country's nuclear weapons programme, and was the ONLY member of the Israeli knesset to protest at the official wining and dinning of the then governor of the West German Central bank, a convicted ex-nazi. ... read full story / add a comment

While all other minorities raise their ethnic flags the Assyrian flag is absent from Iraqi towns and villages. The general population feels that the Americans are there today and will leave few months from now and if they raise their flag the Moslems will turn against them later. Assyrian families received letters ordering them to abide by the rules of Islam, such as wearing the veil, or face harsh consequences like rape and murder among other things. Assyrians of Iraq have almost completely forgotten how to believe and pray. Assyrians have been, for all practical purposes, culturally Islamized.They have forgotten their savior Jesus Christ. ... read full story / add a comment

There were Irish speakers among the Muslim community here who wanted an Irish-language version of the Koran, she said. "We think it's very important to bring the Irish language more into everyday life. There's a lot in common between the Irish and the Islamic way of looking at life." ... read full story / add a comment
