Four-year-old Ahmed Khader's heart raced with fear; the children of the neighborhood told him that we were the Israelis back in his home. The eight of us were not occupation soldiers. Rather we were foreign civilians (5 Americans, 2 Belgian and one Irish) who had come to the Balata Refugee Camp to express our solidarity with the people who had been invaded, terrorized and pillaged on a 4-day raid of their home; a refugee camp; by the Israeli military. read full story / add a comment

There is currently a difference of a mere 10,000 votes in the referendum to amend the constitution on abortion. The NO campaign are at this point in time ahead by a majority of 50.72%, compared to 49.28%, almost as tight as the divorce referendum in '95. The disappointing turnout is being blamed by the YES campaign for the result at present. Four latest Dublin results: Dun Laoighre 68.23% no, Dub South 65% no Dub west 63.73% no Dub South West 64%, shows the urban constituencies are clearly against the amendment. The country is split almost completely in an East-West, Urban-Rural divide. The big turnout in Dublin made a huge impact on the figures as they stand. The NO vote is expected to outweigh the YES by a tiny minority, as they await one Galway constituency who is the last left to contribute figures, the figures will be in at approx 4pm. read full story / add a comment

Who is Tony Blair? What are his ambitions for his country? Is he anything more than a vote-winning machine? We sent award-winning investigative journalist Gregory Palast to ferret out the answers. He found in Blair a principled, even fanatical politician, with a mission to remake his nation. **But at what cost?** Delving further, Palast uncovered secret deals and documents – revealed here for the first time – which expose how far the Blairites, and their mentors in the Clinton Administration, are prepared to go to get their way, and what Blair’s Project is really all about. read full story / add a comment
