Solidarity with the Palestinian people! No to war in Gaza and the Middle East!

Hands off the People of Iran unreservedly condemns the barbaric onslaught by Israel on Palestinians and the siege of Gaza. We call on supporters of our campaign to join the demonstrations taking place all over the country. The scale of terror being inflicted shows that the Israeli state is hell-bent on ethnic cleansing the Palestinian people.

George Bush obviously supports the Israeli atrocities. Obama is keeping his mouth shut. But it is clear what side he is on. He supported the invasion of Lebanon by Israel in 2006 and has recently endorsed Israel taking ‘firm’ action against Hamas. read full story / add a comment

Wall Street's successful lobbying of Congress led to the current financial debacle. But the bankers have no need to worry. The government have come to their rescue with taxpayers' money, raising serious questions about whose interests the politicians really serve. read full story / add a comment

I logged onto Reuters to see photo-reports that would inform me in-depth about the latest in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I was disappointed and wrote to the agency to complain, saying: Your war coverage (I viewed 56 ‘Crisis in Gaza’ photographs published on January 8th) is dishonest and factually incorrect in purporting to show that "both sides" are suffering greatly.

Instead of getting an insight, I got “balanced reporting”; 28 photographs focus on the Palestinian’s experience, while 27 feature the Israelis’. There are 8 photographs of Palestinians in mourning and 5 to 6 show Israelis in mourning. read full story / add a comment

I have been at a few of the demos against the murders in Gaza, and rightly so... I deserve the right to go out on the streets and voice my opinion. There is one thing that bugs me though, the political parties are also out on the street and it doesn't seem they are there for the right reasons. Big banners bearing the names of political parties with no relevance to the situation. read full story / add a comment

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett commented on the US financial crisis that “it’s only when the tide goes out that you learn who’s been swimming naked, and Wall Street now looks like a nudist beach.” Well when it comes to Ireland, the receding tide of the global economy has revealed that not only were our business and political elites swimming naked, they were engaged in a great big orgy as well. read full story / add a comment

CNN anchors cite evidence from The Guardian, The Economist and others from back in November that Israel killed six Palestinians in Gaza - and accept that this action put the ceasefire 'in jeopardy' and was the reason why Hamas fired rockets into Israel. read full story / add a comment
