A lawyer who was shown the list of parallels between the Harry Potter series and this book was "flabbergasted". ... read full story / add a comment

The election of Barrack Obama created a buzz all over the world. Some commentators even lost the run of themselves and tried to convince us that the one of the most important events in human history had just happened. People everywhere celebrated Obama’s victory in a way that they would not have done were it a new government in their own countries. This is barely surprising, if we take into account that decisions taken by the rulers in Washington DC carry a heavy load of consequences for millions of people across the five continents. ... read full story / add a comment

An atlantic storm came rolling in from the south west today with high winds and lashing rain - not the best weather for an outdoor protest. Undaunted several hundred people turned up at Daunt Square (!) for the third week running. Umbrellas were turned inside out and banners blown about - at one point the large Palestinian Flag at the front of the protest march down Patrick Street was ripped from one of its poles by a gust of wind. Everybody was saturated but the crowd was determined despite the weather: during the week one of the Palestinian organisers had lost his brother and his brother's entire family - 6 children and wife - all gone. The grief on his face was enough motivation for 10K protestors. A Jewsih couple from the Yemen gave an talk about the political situation in Israel. ... read full story / add a comment

I am sitting in the olive groves at the little hut of a friend whose land is in the South of Jayyous. The fire is burning telling me that the family has been here this morning lovingly tending to the land. The sun is shining; it rays restoring some of the hope and energy taken from the community after yesterday’s demonstration. Walking here, I passed a family sitting under the shade of their olive trees having their lunch replenishing their bodies after working hard on their land. The land and the people are at ease. It is Shabbat and so the machinery of occupation, hydraulic excavators, multi terrain loaders and compactors “destroyers and usurpers, gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking and burning” their way through the land working to clear the area of the olive tress that are on the land of the farmers of Jayyus, are quiet and still. ... read full story / add a comment |
