When I write a screenplay, I start out with an agenda. I decide who my hero is first and who is the villain. Then I fashion scenes to build my dramatic case and make it believable. That is, I believe, exactly what occurred with regard to at least two reporters, Sheila MacVicar of CNN and Tom Miller of the Los Angeles Times, on Tuesday, April 16 in the Jenin refugee camp. read full story / add a comment

Hi, I am 15 years old and not really into politics. I came across your web site from the media reports. The images on tv have shocked me and I will be there protesting at Pearse street. I just hope it is peaceful. read full story / add a comment

Sorry for being a bit late with this news, been away from a computer for a few days. Galways People and Planet event went off without the brutality of the cops thank x. A sunny day brought large crowds to Eyre Square to hear speakers on local, national and International events, to hear music, see a fairy festival and generally enjoy a (late) celebration of May Day. Many young people there. Thanks to everyone that got involved. Thoughts go to all the victims of the cops and good luck with the demo tonight. jc SWP Galway read full story / add a comment

Not only has Israel been allowed to prevent a United Nations investigation into serious allegations of war crimes in Jenin by Israeli troops, it has placed Yasser Arafat in a daunting position. He is now seen to have benefited, personally and politically, from the exchange of his freedom for the truth. read full story / add a comment

It should be obvious that the above title is an oxymoron, because Israel is good, only a victim, not a victimizer, besides which Israel is a U.S. client and friend. So an invidious phrase like "willing executioners" can no more be applied to Israel than the words "terrorism" or "ethnic cleansing." read full story / add a comment

What a disheartening, sobering month April was for those who believed that Europe’s opinion-shaping circles overwhelmingly comprised fair-minded politicians and writers -- that no "Big Lie" could ever triumph there again, not in the ultra-sophisticated new millennium. read full story / add a comment

Who can gauge the striking-power of an impassioned daydream, of pleasure taken in love, of a nascent desire, of a rush of sympathy? Everyone seeks spontaneously to extend such brief moments of real life; everyone wants basically to make something out of their everyday life. Everyday life is the measure of all things: of the fulfillment or rather the non-fulfillment of human relations; of the use of lived time; of artistic experimentation; of revolutionary politics. read full story / add a comment

For tonight’s protest to be a success I think it must be a sit-down. It’s the only way we will still be able to make our voices heard and dramatically reduce the chances of violence erupting. We will be protesting about police brutality. We are not Reclaiming the Streets tomorrow, or globalising resistance or propounding Socialist values, we are expressing our outrage against the way the Guarda used horrendous force against innocent people. A well placed whisper is more effective than shouting...tomorrow is about numbers and not falling into the trap of being manipulated into seeming hypocritical. We absolutely cannot give the Guarda the chance to say "look what we are dealing with" and have people sympathise. If you are a leader of GR, SWP or RTS and you read this and agree please organise people and get the word out. Sorry if I'm repeating a suggestion already made. read full story / add a comment
