The Israeli peace movement has come under attack recently. On one hand the right-wing Israeli government has subjected it to unprecedented pressure, breaking into the offices of refusenik groups, and shooting at groups like Anarchists Against The Wall. But large elements of the peace movement have collabarated with the Israeli state and have been criticised by Palestinians for their lack of solidarity. read full story / add a comment

Article analysing the results of the referendum and the current crisis in Irish society. Points to the lessons for the left, the dangers of just calling for a no vote and the prospects for struggle.

It seems to have become the norm here in Ireland for the government to repeat a referendum when it does not like the result of the first ballot. While farcical, these bullying tactics have a proven record of success. For an establishment intent on getting its own way, ‘no’ never really means ‘no’. read full story / add a comment

In the past, I have written about a treasure trove of information much under utilised for parents, for individuals, for children, for the elderly concerned about the future, and for students. It is the EU office in Dawson Street. This is adjacent to the Royal Irish Academy, and St. Anne's Church which is also a haven for people with time on their hands and a curious mind. They have a coffee centre and for over 50's they assist people in learning how to use the computer read full story / add a comment

An account of the experiences of a German boy in a suburb of wartime Cologne with graphic descriptions of life there and further afield in Germany. After the war one of the German children brought to Ireland by the Red Cross and he describes his life in Ireland which he thoroughly enjoyed. He stayed with different families but with a family in Ballinlogh, Co. Mayo, for the most part. This is a very well written memoir with a fresh and informative view of rural Ireland in the 1940s. read full story / add a comment

CALLING ALL ACTIVISTS!

Hi,

We, the National Animal Rights Association (N.A.R.A. - http://www.naracampaigns.org ) will be having protests outside both Charles River Laboratories in Co. Mayo, on Tuesday 24th November. We want to make them the biggest protests the vivisection industry in Ireland has ever seen - but we need your help!

We are calling on everyone to make this day a success, so we would like to invite not only activists in Ireland, but campaigners from around the world to attend!

So we can start planning how many cars/mini-buses we'll need on the day, it is vital that you let us know - as soon as possible - if you can make it, or if you can offer transport!

International Activists: Please get in touch so we can sort out accommodation for you!

Local Activists: Please let us know how many activists you can accommodate in your home! read full story / add a comment
