An extract of the article in the Guardian follows.

Holy Land 5: "The Nelson Mandelas of the 21th century"!

26-01-2011 22:42

It can always become worse. In 2009 5 members of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) are tried to 15 - 65 years of detention in the Wild West. Why? For donating emergency (medical-food) goods and supplying money to the refugees of the Gaza-strip! In 2001 the Bush administration shut the foundation down, although no direct links have been found with Hamas. Guilty by association. Israël and the FBI were folowing HLF from 1993 onwards and harrassing the members of HLF.

welcome to room threeohthree

26-01-2011 19:22

Did you read that article on SchNEWS and some IMC sites[1], pertaining that cops post on Indymedia UK? Wow, that is a big story, isn't it? Not surprising, really, any sensible person had been assuming that this is the case. But actually proving that cops have posted confidential information and have been acting as agent provocateurs on Indymedia UK? That is one hell of a story! Especially coinciding with the current revelations about the doings and screwings of undercover cops, embedded amongst dangerous activist outfits such as CIRCA.

Anyway, sadly it is just that: a story. Taking a closer look at the story, one thing is missing: there isn't any factual evidence.

The PA is and arm of Imperialism/Zionism

26-01-2011 18:50

"The Palestine Papers reveal that Fatah was obsessed with maintaining political supremacy over Hamas, with Israel’s cooperation, especially following the 2006 electoral victory of the Islamist movement. Documents obtained by Al Jazeera also show the extent to which the Palestinian Authority cracked down on Hamas institutions to weaken the group and strengthen its own relationship with Israel."

New Radical Health Care Workers forum

26-01-2011 18:22

There's a new forum started up for radical health care workers.

Why do we feel there's a need for a project like this?

Because there are plenty of radicals within the health care system, but within such a huge sector we are often isolated and left to navigate the complexities of health care by ourselves, instead of as part of a radical community.Because working in health care involves elements such as dignity, health, compassion, inequality, power, addiction, oppression that resonate with the wider struggle.Because health care, and the NHS in particular, looks very different from the inside. There needs to be a space to constructively criticise mainstream health care without being forced into a simplistic defensive position or reactionary alternative.Because the UK has both a massive economic deficit and a new government that is ideologically opposed to universal health care, and for all the election pledges to not cut NHS spending, the years ahead hold cutbacks, restructuring and privatisation.Because even before the restructuring by a new government, the NHS is in crisis. Many of us work in trusts deemed to be "failing," with little sign of things getting better.Because as workers we often find ourselves expected to work ever harder; with inadequate equipment, poor management and unsatisfactory support.Because we find ourselves ignorant of radical health care histories - of hospital occupations and strikes. With greater discussion and sharing of ideas, we can educate ourselves and learn from the past.
