The story of the flotilla is not over
12-07-2011 08:41
Last year’s violent assault on the Mavi Marmara, which included summary executions, torture and theft, remains the starkest recent example of Israel’s tactic of deterrence towards solidarity activists trying to break its hold over Palestinian territory. But is it working?
Fortress Drop HLS: It's Official - No More Loan
12-07-2011 03:09
Fortress have been in talks with SHAC volunteers over their stopping of their loan agreement to HLS, this has been a rather protracted affair lasting many months, with Fortress' attorneys being slow to give us the proof we needed. (Remember, Fortress had lied in the past to the campaign, see
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/10/439411.html). So we not only requested a statement, but we also wanted to see the legal documents showing the end of the loan between Fortress and HLS.

How the STW and other opportunists are betraying the Aran springMurdoch Empire and Tax Avoidance in UK
11-07-2011 13:16
Adding more fuel into the rising cesspool of the UK's political classes - politicians and powermongers of the main news media conglomerates, is, of course, Murdoch's non-payment and active avoidance of millions of pounds worth of tax. Squaring the growing total crisis of legitimacy of the ruling regime with the current financial crisis and the vast and unfair programme of cuts might make political sense right now.Youtube (3 mins) OZ Catholic Workers Gatecrash Talisman Sabre Military Exercises

America's dirty war on Islam
11-07-2011 11:18
America's media ignore how unjustly it harms millions of disadvantaged people. Instead, they regurgitate spurious high-profile case accusations, always when Muslims are affected. Most often they're men, occasionally women, bogusly charged with terrorism or conspiracy to commit it, when, in fact, they're guilty only of being targets of choice and/or being in America at the wrong time.

"One of the trainers went into a pen and held down a dog with his knee. He was kicking the dog while he held it down to try to subdue it. Then he started punching it and then he held it up by the throat and said to it: ‘So are you going to stop?’” - Ex-Harlan Employee, Russell TriggFollow the Money: Repression, Collectivization and Progress in Medellín, Colombi

The focus of development discourse on technical solutions to rural development draws attention away from the real issue holding back small farmers from improving ther livlihoods: denial of their basic human rights highlighted by the murder of land activist Ana Fabricia Cordoba last month. This represents a dated tradition of displacing our problems to the 'third world' that must be dropped by politicians, academia, the press and me and you.Vivisection breeder Highgate Farm targeted again with arson

On flotillas and the law: civil society versus Israel lobbies in US and Europe
11-07-2011 08:07
Civil society movements versus corrupt politics
When it comes to the struggle against Israel's policies of oppression there are two conflicting levels: that of government and that of civil society. The most recent example of this duality is the half dozen or so small ships held captive in the ports of Greece. The ships, loaded with humanitarian supplies for the one and half million people of the Gaza Strip, are instruments of a civil society campaign against the inhumanity of the Israeli state. The forces that hold them back are the instruments of governments corrupted by special interest influence and political bribery.
