The Irish media coverage of the fire which killed nine people of Turkish origin in the German city Ludwigshafen last weekend focused mostly on the image of a baby thrown from a window to be caught by a heroic firefighter . The Turkish media has however concentrated on the possible involvement of xenophobic and Islamophobic elements in starting the blaze. The Turkish ambassador to Germany said it was strange that German politicians had ruled out such involvement before police had established the cause. Turkish State Minister Mustafa Said Yazicioglu met German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in Ankara on Monday to ask for a full investigation saying : “Islamophobia spread because several incidents after September 11th attacks were exaggerated thus racist incidents emerged, and all these brought an unpleasant situation for Turks in Germany.” read full story / add a comment

Last year a Belfast anarchist travelled to the West Bank to work with the International Solidarity Movement and Palestinians and wrote this report on his impressions of the Palestinian struggle. “The South African apartheid regime never engaged in the sort of repression Israel is inflicting on the Palestinians. For all the evils and atrocities of apartheid, the government never sent tanks into black towns. It never used gunships, bombers, or missiles against black towns or Bastustans. "What we are witnessing in the occupied territories- Israel’s penal colonies- is the invisible and daily killing of the sick and wounded who are deprived of medical care, of the weak who cannot survive in the new poverty conditions, and those of us who are approaching starvation” (Ronnie Kasrils, S.Africa’s minister of water affairs, Al Ahram Weekly, p175). read full story / add a comment

The impact of the monocultivation of Soya has had a disastrous impact on the majority of the population of Paraguay, a significant proportion of whom live below the poverty line. As Soya farmers move in, small farmers have been violently displaced from their land or forced to abandon it as the agrochemicals used to cultivate Soya destroy their crops and have serious implications on their health. Those who have stayed on the land and resist, face repression and death threats. But where else can they go? What else can they do? read full story / add a comment |
