ONE lasting memory of last July's massive protests at the G8 summit in Genoa, Italy, was the sheer number of supporters of Rifondazione Comunista, the Refounded Communist Party. After the police killing of Carlo Guiliani the party's general secretary, Fausto Bertinotti, issued an appeal for every party member to get to the city to join the protest. Tens of thousands responded. ... read full story / add a comment

A judge delayed a decision Friday on whether French farmer Jose Bove must serve prison time for ransacking a McDonald's restaurant in a protest against U.S.-driven globalization.

Last night's Bin Tax Protest outside City Hall was a total flop! Only 12 people turned up - Myself, 10 members of the Worker's Party and Des Derwin, Trade Unionist and actively involved with the Socialist Alliance in Ireland. That's all! No Workers Solidarity Movement, no Socialist Workers Party, no Socialist Party, no Sinn Fein! Nor was the All Dublin Campaign Against the Bin Tax officially represented last night! I would have thought with this being the last Dublin City Council Meeting before the Election, and that was officially confirmed to me by one of the porters whom I know very well, that the next Dublin City Council Meeting won't take place till Monday 27th May, well after the Election, that an effort would have been made by ALL concerned to have had as good a show as possible of our anger and our dtermination to show both the Politicans and ... read full story / add a comment

“Israel is to become the watchdog. There is no fear that Israel will undertake any aggressive Policy towards the Arab states when this would explicitly contradict the wishes of the US and Britain. But if for any reasons the Western powers should sometimes prefer to close their eyes, Israel could be relied upon to punish one or several neighbouring states whose discourtesy to the West went beyond the bounds of the permissible.” The Israeli paper Ha’aretz, 30 September 1951 ... read full story / add a comment

The politics of the Middle East and beyond have been dominated by Islamist movements at least since the Iranian revolution of 1978-9. Variously described in the West as 'Islamic fundamentalism', 'Islamicism', 'integrism', 'political Islam' and 'Islamic revivalism', these movements stand for the 'regeneration' of society through a return to the original teachings of the prophet Mohammed. They have become a major force in Iran and the Sudan (where they still hold power), Egypt, Algeria and Tajikistan (where they are involved in bitter armed struggles against the state), Afghanistan (where rival Islamist movements have been waging war with each other since the collapse of the pro-Russian government), the occupied West Bank of the Jordan (where their militancy is challenging the old PLO hegemony over the Palestinian resistance), Pakistan (where they make up a significant portion of the opposition) and most recently Turkey (where the Welfare Party has taken control of Istanbuland Ankara ... read full story / add a comment |
