The cases of at least 7 of those arrested on the recent Reclaim the streets protest were heard on Monday morning in the Bridewell court in Dublin. In addition at least 2 cases were heard last Friday. All of the cases were adjourned for the following dates. 5 cases will be heard on Monday July 1st, 1 case will be heard on Tuesday July 2nd and 2 cases will be heard on Friday July 5th. About 10 supporters showed up to show solidarity with those arrested. In all of the cases except one the police sought the adjournement in order to investigate bringing extra charges against the protestors. All of the hearings were dealt with perfunctorily by the judge who seemed somewhat amused by the cases. The only hitch was when the police lost the charge sheet of one of the defendants, but eventually they found it (although since the original read full story / add a comment

The prominent Israeli author A.B. Yehoshua who is also a leading figure in Israel's peace camp gave an interview to the Arab-Israeli newspaper Kul Al-Arab[1] in which he expressed doubt of Yasser Arafat's ability to be Israel's peace partner and blamed him for causing disaster to the Palestinian people. Yehoshua also called upon the members of the Labor party to resign from the unity government, and argued that now is the opportunity for a revival of Israel's left which should call for a unilateral separation between Israel and the Palestinians. Following are excerpts from the interview: read full story / add a comment

A few questions. I was at the RTS and am still wondering about several things that happened as I was on the periphery at the beginning and in the middle at the end. These are questions I have been asked and couldn’t answer. Who decided on Burgh Quay? Obviously somebody did as this was where the car was waiting? Where the Dublin Fire Brigade there already? If so do they act with the police often ? Did anyone see them harassed? Where the protesters corralled at College Green as part of some deliberate police operation? How many cops were there altogether? Did anyone see any physical attacks on cops? I did see empty cans hurled at cops on Burgh Quay but they were chucked from the middle of the throng. If anyone can iron these points out that’d be a really big help. read full story / add a comment

So Fianna Fail will take power in what is for them a sweet election. Fine Gael have withered away. Labour hasnt changed. The PD's are laughable. But, here comes the lefties. The Greens get 6-7 seats (i dunno i've lost interest at this point), Sinn Fein 5, and the Socialist Party 1. This is all common knowledge but what does it really mean. read full story / add a comment |
