Israeli Settlements Are Illegal
21-11-2006 15:25
The majority of Israeli settlements have been constructed either entirely or partially on private Palestinian land, in violation of Israeli law itself, according to a new report by Peace Now, one of the oldest peace movements in Israel that monitors Israel settlements in the West Bank. Based on data from a 2004 survey by the Civil Administration, which was leaked to Peace Now through an official in the CA, the report found that nearly 40% of the land the settlements sit on is effectively stolen from Palestinian landowners. Settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law, but Israel has long 'rejected' this. Some 430,000 Jews live in these residential areas in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Newspaper editor collaborates with BNP
20-11-2006 19:08
Local newpaper editor Danny Lockwood is being sued by Dewsbury Labour MPShahid Malik.
Lockwood has decided this matter is all about freedom of speech and has decided to start a fighting fund to pay his legal team.
However he has enlisted the help of resident BNP "folk" band "Red Claire"
Red Claire consists of BNP councillors Colin Auty and Paul Cromie along with BNP candidate Frank Atack.
Red Claire played at this years BNP Red,White and Blue festival.
They are playing at the Park Public House in Batley,a pub that regularly holds BNP meetings and has even had Nick Griffin speak there.
This isn't the first time Lockwood and the Press have shown support for the BNP.
But this has been the most open and blatant.
Please register your polite protests with the Dewsbury Press.

The Ecuadorian election is a choice between plague and cholera, or rather between a bad cold and cancer. The Banana republic might be governed by a criminal.
