11-11-2007 23:45

Directed by Brad Bird, written by Tim McCanlies
"The Iron Giant" is a smooth, skilled example of animated filmmaking. Based loosely on a children's fable written in 1968 by Ted Hughes, "The Iron Giant" looks at the fearful years of the Cold War through the political lens of the late 1990s, while turning upside down all those sci-fi movie parables of the '50s.

Boycott Israeli Goods Action 10 November

11-11-2007 18:42

As part of The Fifth International Week of Action against Israel’s Apartheid Wall between 9 and 16 November 2007 (www.stopthewall.org), protesters held a rolling picket in London raising awareness of the Apartheid Wall and calling on the public to boycott Israeli goods.

The Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign and its popular committees have called on the world to protest against the illegal occupation of Palestine. In 2004 the International Court of Justice ruled that the Apartheid Wall is illegal. Despite this, the British government has continued to support Israel economically, politically and militarily. Join the movement to boycott Israeli Apartheid.

The protest was called by Victory to the Intifada and Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! (www.revolutionarycommunist.org)
