In Counterpunch, Aug 4th 2006, Jonathan Cook reports on Human Rights Watch's analysis of civilian casualties inflicted by Hizbullah and the IDF and concludes that indiscriminate media reporting is perpetuating at least two inaccuracies: that IDF strikes are "targetted" with Lebanese civilian deaths being a result of Hizbullah using them as human shields; and that Hizbullah attacks are deliberately targetting civilians. read full story / add a comment

The major communication mediums of the world continue to bombard the public with images and descriptions of the Israeli-Lebanon conflict. The media works tirelessly to deliver our social consciousness. Today’s mass media maintains its status as the principal means of creating and sustaining social realities. The internet-based ‘independents’ lack real independent front-line resources and continue to rely on the mainstream for most of their information (much to their chagrin). read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin spokesperson on Natural Resources Martin Ferris TD has accused Shell of duplicity in their announcement that they are to drop their court injunction against the Rossport Five. Deputy Ferris said: "In announcing that they are dropping their injunction, Shell have absolved themselves of the requirement to surrender key documents relating to various aspects of the pipeline project. On Monday Justice Mary Laffoy made an order of discovery that for the first time would have placed this information into the hands of those who object to the pipeline. "The fact that Shell, after more than a year of attempting to bully Rossport men, should now drop their action speaks volumes. It confirms what many of us believe; that the entire deal regarding the Corrib field stinks to high heaven. The fact that Shell is willing to abandon its campaign of intimidation rather than shed any light into this dark corner speaks for itself. read full story / add a comment

Israeli violence against the people of Lebanon and Palestine has continued unabated today. This afternoon, Anti-War Ireland issued the following statement calling for an extension of Irish solidarity with those suffering in this conflict. More specifically, AWI believes that this is an instance when international solidarity is essential between the working class of Europe, and elsewhere, and workers and their families in the Middle East. The trade union movement must play an active role in opposing US-backed Israeli military aggression. The following is the statement issued to the media and circulated by Anti-War Ireland. read full story / add a comment

During the summer of 1946, over 40,000 British people took the law into their own hands and squatted in property that they didn't own - initially disused military camps, then empty hotels and blocks of flats. It was an unprecedented movement of civil disobedience, and it presented Atlee's Labour Government with its first great crisis. Mark Whitaker tells the story - with testimony from several of the squatters themselves. read full story / add a comment
