Israel are coming to play England in a friendly (apparently in the world of football, Isael is in Europe), weeks after the Palestinian youth team were denied entry to the UK...anyone want to organise protests?

No doubt, for a large number of Americans, it is a good enough excuse: “Gasoline prices could rise to about $9 per gallon if the United States withdraws troops from Iraq prematurely, Rep. Jon Porter said he was told on a trip to Iraq that ended this week,” the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. “To a person, they said there would be genocide, gas prices in the U.S. would rise to eight or nine dollars a gallon, al-Qaida would continue its expansion, and Iran would take over that portion of the world if we leave,” said the Nevada Congress critter.

no borders, no nations, stop deportations

A group of fans who were on the plane with the team were caught on video singing songs against Muhammad and Muslims.

The government of the United Kingdom has anticipated the deportation of Pegah Emambakhsh and her flight towards the death is already set on the 23rd August.

We don't have to allow that Pegah goes up on that airplane.

This, of course, is part and parcel of the policies of Collective Punishment, which are designed to make life for the Palestinians in Palestine unbearable, so they'll actually want to leave their homes. The criminal investigation was rejected because it would only find that this official policy was endorsed by the Zionist Extremists running the country.

It never ceases to amaze me how often Israeli Extremists falsely accuse their opponents of doing exactly what they, themselves, are guilty of doing. It's called Projecting, and our resident Plant does this with regularity.

Of course, the media most often parrots the Israeli allegations, then fails to correct the misperception when Israel is shown to have LIED.

Has the Left been neutered? It struck me that the greatest taboo of the antiwar movement is to show the slightest empathy for the resistance fighters in Iraq
They are never mentioned as people for whom we should show concern, much less admiration.

The US and other Western powers have always deployed human rights rhetoric
in a selective and self-serving manner, ignoring their own abuses and those of allies
while using the wrongdoing of unfriendly regimes as an excuse to justify intervention

What is the message being sent out by the various ‘workers’ doing the factional ‘canvassing’ for their respective factional ‘candidate’ at the inner city, ‘deprived’ East London council ward of Shadwell [London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council] where polling is due to take place at the enforced by-election on Thursday 9 August 2007 ?

There is an interesting problem with selling the “Iran as Nazi Germany” line. If Ahmadinejad really is Hitler, ready to commit genocide against Israel’s Jews as soon as he can get his hands on a nuclear weapon, why are some 25,000 Jews living peacefully in Iran and more than reluctant to leave despite repeated enticements from Israel and American Jews?

Following Tuesday night's large, disciplined yard-protest and Wednesday morning's hunger strike, two Home Office representatives were called to Campsfield on Wednesday afternoon to hear the detainees' grievances. The pair, including the Assistant Director of Escorting Services at the Borders and Immigration Authority (Philip Schoelenberger?) were confronted by an angry, articulate, multi-national delegation of 22 detainees in a meeting that lasted 2 and a half hours.

Some inspiring news....Last night a revolt in a detention centre in Bari led to at least 35 migrants escaping, mainly of Egyptian nationality.

The caneos are one day away from the destination, the Lummi
reservation near the Canadian border. There are canoes from Alaska and
Grande Ronde Oregon. It is the first year for the Oregon canoe. We are
not powwow Indians. Our dances are in the winter and are ceremonial.
We are canoe people. We are getting back to our roots.

The following call is from the Anarchists Against the Wall email list.

The Israeli anarchists are well known and respected by all Palestinian non-violence leaders. They are the only Israeli group that consistently and regularly turns up at Palestinian demonstrations and one of (very) few anti-Zionist groups in Israel today.

As such, the state is of course persecuting them and they are regularly detained, questioned or even sent to jail. They have a LOT of legal costs. Gaby Lasky is a tireless and committed human rights lawyer who has represented many Palestinian, Israeli and international anti-occupation activists.

Please support them!

The Virginia Tech massacre of three months ago remains the subject of task force investigations. But none appear to be examining the role that race played in fertilizing the killing grounds.
