Richard Goldstone recants. What price the Israel witch-hunt now?
Melanie Phillips , 04-04-2011 - 04:03
There was ample evidence at the time from numerous sources that Hamas was telling lies about the number of civilians who were killed by Israeli fire. There was ample evidence that Hamas was deliberately putting civilians in harm’s way. There was ample evidence that Hamas does not operate under the rule of law or uphold human rights. There was ample evidence that Israeli rules of engagement required the IDF to avoid hitting civilians wherever possible. There was ample evidence that Israel always investigates allegations of misconduct made against its soldiers and holds them to acount under the rule of law.

Libya: The destruction of a country. The bombing of civilian targets
An open letter by Russian doctors in Libya , 04-04-2011 - 00:00
The account provided by the team of Russian Doctors constitutes an eyewitness account of what is happening on the ground in Libya. It contradicts the stream of media disinformation. It confirms that the coalition is routinely bombing civilian targets. For those progressives who have endorsed the US-NATO "humanitarian mandate", this account provides us with evidence of extensive war crimes by those you claim to be coming to the rescue of civilians. Residential buildings, hospital are being targeted by the coalition's smart bombs. The latter are extremely precise. The bombing of civilians is deliberate. These are so-called validated targets. they are part of a list of targets.

Couple of pics from London Critical Mass, March
anon@indymedia.org (Doug) , 03-04-2011 - 18:22
Couldn't attach these to the video article so here they are instead. A large turnout with good weather. I saw the result of three deliberate rammings by drivers, which resulted in angry confrontations. Its great to see cyclists supporting each other. Despite this the mood of the ride was exuberant. This time we were accompanied by a friendly motorcycle cop who helped with the corking and had words with several drivers. Judging by the accents there were plenty of foreign visitors joining in the ride which seems to be becoming something of a tourist attraction. There were also several impressive and powerful sound systems.
The congestion caused by drivers on Friday evening in London is atrocious. What are they all doing there? I'll say one thing though,all the red traffic lights are extremely frustrating, even to a cyclist. Maybe this accounts for the fact that so many drivers are enraged when they encounter CM.

This coming weekend we are gathering on the land at Field Farm, Stapleford, Notts to discuss setting up a sustainable community here this spring. Acoustic music and food on the friday night, and a chance to check out the site and local area.
Bring seeds and matierals to prepare the site for when we are ready to move in permanently
Although we are gathering on the friday we will be camped on site after wednesday so feel free to pop up then
We found out about this place after this message from a local:
Gareth Whitedog 20 March at 18:43 Report Hi Hope you are well. Thought we'd give you a heads-up about a nice opportunity...
There's an old empty farmhouse behind where we live, in a couple of fields, which have been left fallow for ten years or so, and have become a bit of a wildlife haven, and even host a couple of endangered species, we think. The owners of the land intend to build on it, and current Tory plans will make it even easier for them to do so. Nobody in the village wants that. It occurs to us that if the farmhouse were to be squatted by some community minded people, who put it to good use, then it would make it somewhat more difficult for the building to happen, and would also give good scope for a high-profile campaign, where the media is concerned. You know, "Big-hearted eco-warriors in face-off with evil developers trying to destroy nature reserve..."
We feel pretty sure that if anyone were to do this, and they did it right, then they would probably get quite a bit of support from the local community, and they could certainly count on support from us, some of the closest neighbours.
Interested?
Here's a Google maps link to the place: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=52.945716%2C-1.265466&spn=0.011572%2C0.033023&t=h&z=16
Let us know what you think.

Travel from Sheffield involves a train to langley mill followed by a bus to outside the entrance road.
Also Buses from derby and local area to Stapleford.
There is also much other devolopment planned for this area including devolopment of Trowell Moor for open cast mining so this area is under a lot of threat.

Compare & contrast two squares over two weekends!
tash@indymedia.org (Tash [Alan Lodge]) , 03-04-2011 - 15:24
Trafalgar Square, London. Saturday 26th March 2011 Market Square, Nottingham Saturday 2nd April 2011 Had been to the shindig in Trafalgar Square on Saturday 26th March and the police action there. It was scarry getting pushed and shoved in front of the police lines. Then, behind the police lines, getting all sorts thrown in my direction inc. a lot of bottles. I was grateful for the donation of my shiny new hard hat! The following Saturday, walking across Market Square in Nottingham I shared in viewing this spectacle. Like many others there, I found it hard to believe what I was watching. I have to say after the previous weekends stress, it offered some most welcome relief. I compare and contrast :-) ____________________________________________ ALAN LODGE Photographer - Media: One Eye on the Road. Nottingham.

Notts Shop Withdraws Fur After Protest
anon@indymedia.org (Nottingham Indymedia + Led) , 03-04-2011 - 12:23
Following protests, vintage clothing and fancy dress outlet Celias on Derby road has decided to no longer sell real fur. Campaigners welcomed the move as “yet another clear message to the fur trade that animal cruelty has no place on our high streets.” On the newswire: Celias Decides To Stop Selling Fur | Anti-fur Activists Target Derby Road Horror Shop Previous features: Another victory for anti-fur campaigners More than 45 million animals worldwide, including raccoons, dogs, rabbits, foxes, mink, and chinchillas, are raised in cages and killed each year for their fur. Not only are cage-raised animals killed inhumanely, but they suffer from numerous physical and behavioural abnormalities induced by the stress of caging conditions. After spending their short lives in squalid conditions, animals raised on fur farms are killed by cruel methods that preserve their pelt, such as gassing, neck-breaking and anal electrocution. Some are even skinned alive. Fur farming is illegal in the UK and unfashionable in most of the world but there are still a number of enterprises that will do anything to make money regardless of the suffering caused.

The agents of Washington and Britain within Libya’s opposition leadership
Julie Hyland , 03-04-2011 - 11:45
The Interim Transitional National Council (TNC) was not officially able to participate in the conference held on Libya at London’s Lancaster House on Tuesday due to differences within the war coalition over support for the anti-Gaddafi leadership. However, Washington and London made clear their backing for what is being groomed as Libya’s government-in-waiting—once, that is, the military onslaught against the country has achieved its desired objective of regime change.
