“Israel has the right to defend and to protect itself” is one of the empty phrases which Americans constantly repeat. What they really mean each time when they repeat this phrase is that they have abandoned all attempts to conceal the fact that they have become but a satrapy of Israel, and that they can do nothing to deny Israel the "right" to occupy the West Bank and Gaza, the right to "protect" the settlers and ITF occupation and the continued violations of human rights. Israel has the right to kill, to steal, to arrest, to demolish ... to do just anything. read full story / add a comment

Last weekend, Young Fine Gael (YFG) in co-operation with two youth political parties in the Ukraine, Young Rukh and the CDMU, expressed our concern with the manner in which the government of the Ukraine is carrying out the Presidential Election campaign due on October 31st and called for those elections to be carried out in a free and fair manner. There would appear to be widespread harassment of opposition election workers and abuse by the government of state facilities to support their candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

A large number of international bodies have expressed concern with the manner in which the electoral process. It is imperative that these elections abide to general European practice, and that the attempts by the government to restrict opposition access to the media, hold rallies and canvass support must be ceased immediately. read full story / add a comment
