Menachem Klein, an Israeli political scientist at Bar Ilan University near Tel Aviv, outlined the logic of Sharon's actions in a recent Christian Science Monitor article (March 13, 2003). "These raids can be a kind of rehearsal, with the idea to arrest someone, but also to see how to get in and out, what tactics to use. A rehearsal on live people. And the thinking is that if the world gets used to these short-term reoccupations, it will digest the long-term one." read full story / add a comment

Israel is to press George Bush to eliminate all reference to an "independent" Palestinian state from the US "road map" to a political settlement, which he promised on Friday to release soon.

Blair is an evil lying monster. Why do we have to listen over and over again to his lies? It's driving me mad. Is "democracy" where we elect dictators? A huge power vacuum has been created - people who have been lied to and made to pay for a fascist war who no longer trust these so-called leaders - what are the plans to hold onto this anger, to advance a huge movement towards pulling these tyrants in suits from their pedastals? I don't know where to turn - apart from ramming my f*cking shoe into the nearest ignorant fascist Fianna Fail politician's face. Somebody give me an alternative. I have time and energy wasting away here..... (terms and conditions apply) read full story / add a comment

It ought to obvious even to the meanest intellects in the anti-war coalition that the time for appealling to politicians and wringing of hands is over. read full story / add a comment
