In his 28th Jan 2008, column for the New Statesman, John Pilger with withering outrage attacks the "ritual danse macabre" that is the US presidential election : Barack Obama is a glossy Uncle Tom who would bomb Pakistan. Hillary Clinton, another bomber, is anti-feminist. John McCain’s one distinction is that he has personally bombed a country. They all believe the US is not subject to the rules of human behaviour ... read full story / add a comment

Over a million dead Iraqis, several thousand US soldiers killed in action, several thousands more soldiers dead by suicide, an even great number of soldiers maimed and disabled. All those lives for non existent weapons of mass destruction and a false allegation of links between Iraq and Al Qaeda - yet George Bush thinks it is funny. read full story / add a comment

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
