For the past number of weeks, disreputable Aldi have been fraudently selling Israeli ruby red grapefruit labeled; Produce of Cyprus and this offence is being currently investigated by Environmental Health Officers from the Health Service Executive who are under contract to Food Safety Authority of Ireland. Further, it is reliably reported that the Cypriot ambassador to Ireland, Sotos A. Liassides has referred this matter back to his government for vigorous action and in the meantime has asked Aldi to remove all reference to Cyprus on the grapefruit labels, commenting that Aldi are "trying desperately to get rid of their (Israeli grapefruit) stock by presenting it as Cypriot." read full story / add a comment

In this case the source of the $1m 'award', is a transparently Zionist propaganda "foundation". Not that most would be aware of this outside minority publications and the internet, as analysis is unsurprisingly absent from mainstream media outlets.
So in that light, it is published here in the public interest (originally from The Phoenix of 13th of March)

Israeli Blood Money For Blair

Tony Blair's $1m award for “exceptional leadership” from the Israel Dan David Foundation has received surprisingly little international attention. The PR guff surrounding this reward for Blair’s shameless support for virtually anything Israel inflicts on the Palestinians makes much of Blair’s peace initiative in Ireland and Kosovo. But the reality is that Blair is being rewarded for his long time support for Israel. read full story / add a comment

(Brussels – 13 March) Striking footage of newborn seal pups on Canadian ice floes was last night (Thur) projected on a building close to where European decision-makers are discussing a ban in the trade of seal products from commercial hunts which was organized by International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Here in Ireland ARAN are sorry to report that the Irish government is lame in their support for a complete EU trade ban on seal products from Canada. Next Tuesday March 17 a meeting will take place in Europe that will finally pan out individual EU government positions on the EU ban, so we have literally three days to change John Gormley’s mind, the man whom may hold the power to influence the Irish position for a total ban. An EU trade ban on seal products from Canada would literally mean that they have no market for the seal skins, it’s imperative that we get this ban, just like it were in the 80’s, but John Gormley’s position is that Irish government may not support a total EU trade ban. read full story / add a comment

Besides the draconian and unjust imprisonment of Maura Harrington for the relatively mild offence of slapping a Guard across the face during of the course of a Shell operation in which 20 protestors were injured by Garda acting as Shell's thugs and battering ram in forcing a path for a digger and which none of them have been brought to book, it was the sinister decision of Judge Devins for Maura Harrington to be psychiatrically assessed that drew the most condemnation and fire, notably Senator David Norris who described it as "terribly, terribly, dangerous.” read full story / add a comment

Last night at the Lab on Foley Street there was a good turn out of artists, political activists and interested individuals for a discussion around the notion of amateurism.

It was billed that “four artists and designers would describe their various relationships to 'Amateurism' - DIY art and technology production, designing with found materials, and design in the developing world”. read full story / add a comment

Maura Harrington's husband Naoise is not allowed to visit her every day while she is locked up in Mountjoy Prison. He is instead remaining outside the gates of the jail and teling passers-by what is happening between the visits he is allowed.

Many cars are beeping as they go by and many people are stopping to take leaflets and chat.

He will be there until at least 6PM today. read full story / add a comment
