The destruction of 24 more East Jerusalem houses clearly illustrates the political agenda driving Israel's relentless demolition policy. As Zaid Hamouri explains, the real issue behind these demolitions is Israel's attempt to alter the demographic make-up of the city.

Forget The Trial Get The Rope: Bush Approved The Torture!!!

10-05-2004 03:46 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

While the shutter captured the gruesome horror in graphic detail, it missed capturing the full scope of the incident, as did CBS. This was not an isolated incident. It was not the result of a few rogues. Rather this incident was the result of careful long-term planning.

The American Way of War by Walden Bello

05-05-2004 16:56 | Anti-militarism | World

"By Washington's logic, firecrackers should now be going off everywhere as the counter-terror crusaders zero in on Osama bin Laden's hideout in Tora Bora.

This article also discusses air power as the solution to the Vietnam syndrome, deus ex machina and the change from Locke to Hobbes.

Predictable Torture of Iraqi Prisoners

The torture of Iraqi prisoners of war is a part of a strategy of US counterinsurgency warfare and not due simply to a few deranged, sadistic American soldiers.

Torturing by order

03-05-2004 21:21 | May Day 2004 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

In Iraq it's not a question to believe in US phrases of pseudo democracy, it's more the essential question to be a slave or not!

Mutiny!

02-05-2004 17:05 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Cambridge | World

Can we please stop calling it a quagmire? The United States isn't mired in a bog in Iraq, or a marsh; it is free-falling off a cliff. The only question now is: who will follow the Bush clan off this precipice, and who will refuse to jump?

US deserters claim refugee status in Canada, 30 years on...

The abolition of Mayday (or Anarchist blindness and delusions of grandeur)

Activists and protestors are astounded and bemused by the so called cancelling of May Day
protests by a handfull of anarchist leaders, who claim not to have had sufficient support at "their meetings" to organise the protest. They do not call on people to go to the demo of the Labour movement, "that one is run by dinosaurs". Instead they want a picnic (seriously folks only a picnic)in St James park front of her majesty's palace.
