Now with Hamas’ electoral gains in the Palestinian elections, Israel, from a position of strength, can decide if it wants to inflict an economic blockade on the West Bank and Gaza. “It's like an appointment with a dietician. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won't die,” was how top Israeli government adviser Dov Weissglas recently described how an intensification of a blockade could affect ordinary Palestinians. see David Lynch in Daily Ireland http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_ticket=O...opp=1 ... read full story / add a comment

The PDs' announcement of a plan to move Dublin Port comes at an interesting time, when the Dublin Port Tunnel (an integral part of the expansion plan implemented by the Dublin Port Authority) is nearing completion. This article reveals that the idea to relocate the Port is not an original creation of the PDs': in fact it goes back to 1990. But why, in spite of a set of logical reasons in favour of the move, was the plan put on the back burner in favour of the construction of the multi-million Port Tunnel and minor upgrades to the port facilities? ... read full story / add a comment

Trinity College Dublin has ordered the seizure and destruction of a student magazine called Piranha! because it used what the College authorities say is “offensive language” in an article about Muslim reaction to the cartoons depicting "the Prophet Muhammad". “Irish people should know that this type of racism is not funny and in 2006 it is just not acceptable,. Satirical magazines sometimes argue that they are causing debate on issues by writing articles from a certain point of view, but in this case that argument doesn’t hold water.” Sheikh Dr Shaheed Satardien ... read full story / add a comment

Anyone who can, would they carry a SAVE TARA banner at their Patrick's Day parade or whatever event is being held in their town or city? Here or abroad? Two Latin biographies of Patrick appear in the seventh century and it is no accident that his major confrontation with druidry and paganism happens at Tara the main pre-Christian site in Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment

"No one now disputes that stopping Slobodan Milosevic was the right thing to do,” wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, several days after the deposed Serbian strongman expired in his cell in the Hague. It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned. In reality, however, even Slobodan Milosevic had his defenders. What is more, they are the same voices--largely on the far Left but also on the isolationist Right--who have now taken up the cause of Saddam Hussein. ... read full story / add a comment

A tongue in cheek piece that explores many paradoxical ideas associated with the theory of evolution. - That evolves into a discourse into a series of primal theological questions that still remain unanswered. Might be interesting reading for anyone into evolutionary debate and for anyone with pre-conceived notions about their right to define creation superceding the rights of others. This is my first submission from what will be my second Indybook. It is the fourth chapter - but stands on its own merits. It becomes my first submission simply because I think it's relevant to many religious and secularist debates currently raging on Indy. ... read full story / add a comment |
