In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger describes the increasing American war front across the world: from Afghanistan to Africa and Latin America. This is the Third World War in all but name, waged by the only aggressive "ism" that denies it is an ideology and threatened not by introverted tribesmen in faraway places but by the anti-war instincts of its own citizens. ... read full story / add a comment

Nour Odeh writes about the funerals of four Palestinian teenagers who were murdered by the Israeli "Defence" Forces. Full story at url below. Reporting on the death of children is never an easy task. It challenges your sense of professionalism and puts you face to face with the strongest of emotions; a mother’s inconsolable grief at the loss of her child. On Sunday, I went through this unforgettable experience - four times. ... read full story / add a comment

Gallipoli cost us more than soldiers Irish Examiner 23 march 2010 As President Mary McAleese prepares to commemorate the Irish who died during the brutal Gallipoli campaign, Dr Patrick Walsh says it is time to reflect on the full significance of this terrible and costly battle PRESIDENT Mary McAleese will deliver a speech tomorrow at the site of the famous 1915 Battle of Gallipoli at which nearly 4,000 Irishmen were killed. She will speak of Irish nationalists and unionists who fought and died side by side in a campaign which left over 150,000 allied service men and an estimated 80,000 of the Ottoman force dead. But while commemorating all those brave men, how many will realise or question the cause for which they fought or the consequences at the time for Ireland itself? ... read full story / add a comment

Paulette Schroeder writes about an Israeli tactic of kidnapping Palestinian children and falsely charging them with crimes. These children are then convicted and imprisoned by the Israeli kageroo courts. Full text at link. I am most concerned these recent weeks in Hebron. Young teens and even smaller children are disappearing from our neighbourhood in the Old City of Hebron. It's not by kidnapping. It's not by trafficking. It's not an unknown person with a criminal record perpetrating the crimes. Rather, the Israeli military is again pressing its boots down harder on the heads of the Palestinian people. If restrictions on travel and commerce, land confiscations, home invasions, and forced business closures have not succeeded in convincing Palestinian families to leave their land, then MAYBE taking their children will. ... read full story / add a comment

The fascist English Defence League (EDL) suffered a defeat in Bolton yesterday as plans for another demonstration intended to whip up racism in the local community and terrorise the town in the name of ‘anti-Islamic extremism’ were thwarted. In past demonstrations in Luton, Leeds and Stoke, the EDL have been able to terrorise black and Asian communities and gay districts. In Bolton the brave determination of anti-fascists protestors meant the EDL weren’t able to riot again, in the face of extreme police brutality. ... read full story / add a comment |
