An Irish student has moved into a Palestinian home in the West Bank in an effort to prevent the Israeli army from demolishing the building, which houses three families. Israel has marked the house for destruction because a member of one of the families was involved in a Hamas suicide bombing several weeks ago. The other family members were arrested after the bombing, but were released because they were obviously not involved in the attack. read full story / add a comment

A computer game called Kill Yourself a Gypsy appeared in early 2000. It began to circulate not long after a wall was built in Maticni Street, in the Czech town of Usti nad Labem. The wall was built to separate Roma (Gypiesy) from their "white" Czech neighbours. In the game the player has to shoot at Gypsies who appear on the screen while adding blocks to the wall. The game was of a piece with the casual racism against Roma that pervades the post-communist Czech Republic. read full story / add a comment

Sorry about the *very* short notice on this one, but there'll be a presentation and workshop in Dublin City University on Monday (tomorrow!) at 5pm, and later in the month at Ecotopia, about Shannon Warport and nonviolent direct action. I'll post a link to the powerpoint slides from the presentation here tomorrow. If you can make it please give me a call, as this is part of a larger anti-war conference (see earlier articles about War Resisters International). read full story / add a comment |
