Summary:Leaving Israel after a ten-day sojourn there, I make the following calls to Israel. Release Vanunu, End the occupation of Palestine, respect their rights, dismantle the Wall, stop the daily oppression, allow people from different regions to meet one another, work for peace by mutual respect, not unilaterally, enter into dialogue with the new authority.
To the Palestinian people: use all non-violent means to resist the unjust occupation and oppression
To the international community: Demand an end to occupation, support the Palestinian non-violent resistance, restore aid, do not be silenced by fear of being labelled anti-Semitic.
To all Israelis and Palestinians: try to build mutual friendship and peace. I appeal to those of you who already work together non-violently for peace and justice to continue with your great work read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Monday May 01, 2006 17:05 by dingo
No greater tragedy has beset the Australian nation than at the present time. Everything that is un-Australian masquerades as the leader of the nation; is it necessary to name John Howard as the personification of everything that is un-Australian? A cowardly, cringing, lying, weevil does not an Australian make! Howard is the most grotesque, obnoxious flea that has ever inhabited political office. A perfect coward and pathological liar has won the last two elections by default. The local population desperately sought a viable opposition but found NONE; a high school student could have beaten Howard but not the present opposition; no greater congregation of self-centred, self-destructive, inept fools has ever sullied the floor of parliament. read full story / add a comment

Freedom of the press and national security collide after two journalists used classified military reports to question the government´s arguments for joining the Iraq War, the Copenhagen Post reported last week.

Two journalists who printed classified military reports about Iraq´s weapon capabilities could follow their source to jail, if District Attorney Karsten Hjorth has his way. The DA said Berlingske Tidende’s two journalists, Michael Bjerre and Jesper Larsen, broke the law when they printed classified military reports leaked to them by Major Frank Grevil, Defense Intelligence Service (FE). read full story / add a comment

The media has for some time now been discussing the probability of military action against Iran, based on the purported but unsubstantiated threat posed by the current regime. The thrust of the argument being that Iran can not maintain a peaceful nuclear programme, therefore the civilised West must consider, and plan for, perhaps even nuclear pre-emption. read full story / add a comment

3 years to the day after President Bush announced Mission Accomplished on the decks of the USS Abraham Lincoln, Felicity Arbuthnot examines the devestating effect that the war and occupation has had on Iraq. The results from the radiological wars raged in both Iraq and Afghanistan are now beginning to fully reveal themselves in the hospitals, graveyards, both in the civilians populations as well as the returning soldiers of the occupational forces. What then has been Accomplished? read full story / add a comment
