What happened to the summer of rage?
20-07-2009 10:24
Sorry for the repost but thought people might be interested in this article. We would also like to open debate on this so leave a comment on the Last Hours site.Earlier in the year it seemed to be accepted almost as fact that this summer would see waves of unrest and street riots. But half way through summer none have happened. Peter Hogan takes a brief overview of the reasons why people haven’t come out onto the street in any great numbers.
Cops should trust crowds - fact

This is a repost of a scientific explanation why 'police kettling' is wrong, but more than that it extrapolates to why policing and government of the majority are wrong. I am effectively stealing this important article in the hope that some relevant people who don't read NS will learn from it. Humble apologies and all my respect to Michael Bond and New Scientist.Weekend of Action in support of Cuba

Hi, as part of the celebration of 50 years of socialist revolution in Cubawe are organising a weekend of action on Saturday 25 July and Sunday 26July in ManchesterPlease IndymediaUK/ Features Group! Please give us relevant features!
17-07-2009 18:26
The choice of features, the main part of the IndymediaUK front page, has too narrow a focus. This is a comradely plea for the Features Group to more accurately portray the various struggles in the UKFeeling the Hate in Jerusalem
17-07-2009 13:59
This film, made by award-winning journalist Max Rosenthal, shows the reactions of a group of night revellers in Jerusalem to President Obama's Middle East initiatives. Many of the interviewees are American-Jewish visitors to the city. After 400,000 views on youtube, it was pulled as "inappropriate content", and Rosenthal would like to know why. He has received death threats and been accused of being a "self-hating Jew". His response, in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, was: "I am self-hating, but not because I'm Jewish."We are following the producer's request to re-publish this film to many sites, including youtube, and let's see if this censorship happens again.

Israel's Internet Fighting Team
15-07-2009 06:52
“To all intents and purposes the Internet is a theatre in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and we must be active in that theatre, otherwise we will lose,” Elan Shturman, deputy director of the policy-explanation department in the Foreign Ministry, and who is directly responsible for setting up the project, says in an interview with Calcalist. “Our policy-explanation achievements on the Internet today are impressive in comparison to the resources that have been invested so far, but the other side is also investing resources on the Internet. There is an endless array of pro-Palestinian websites, with huge budgets, rich with information and video clips that everyone can download and post on their websites. They are flooding the Internet with content from the Hamas news agency. It is a well-oiled machine. Our objective is to penetrate into the world in which these discussions are taking place, where reports and videos are published – the blogs, the social networks, the news websites of all sizes. We will introduce a pro-Israeli voice into those places. What is now going on in Iran is the proof of the need for such an operational branch,” adds Shturman. “It’s not like a group of friends is going to bring down the government with Twitter messages, but it does help to expand the struggle to vast dimensions.”
Language Discrimination in Slovakia
14-07-2009 18:29
EUOBSERVER / COMMENT - The Slovak Language Law is one of the most extraordinary pieces of legislation imaginable in a democratic country. Even the briefest of glances will show how restrictive it is and what kind of discrimination it introduces - reintroduces - into EuropeIn brief, around ten percent of the population of Slovakia is Hungarian-speaking, beyond which there are Ukrainian, Roma and other minorities. For all practical purposes, the new law eliminates all the minority languages from the public sphere. Yet even here there is a further discrimination - the small Czech minority is exempt from its restrictions.

Should twitter receive the Nobel Peace Prize?
09-07-2009 14:44
Twitter, Paulo Coelho, Facebook, were instrumental in getting information out of Iran over these last few weeks that the evil Supreme Being has ordered a clampdown on what little democracy exists in Iran. Should they not be joint recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize?Hired Hands: Iran, Obama, Gaza, And MPs' Expenses
