White working class? Is that investigative journalism?

06-03-2008 21:41

Most local and national journalism defaults to notions of an underclass of 'losers' without any analysis of how these 'losers' have been structurally excluded. The recent discovery of 'working class' and 'white' as a disadvantaged group is for purely cynical and sensationalist reasons.

Israel's Goals: Regime Change, Reoccupation

05-03-2008 02:44

Without exception, the same media which ignored Israel's imposition of Collective Punishment (after its Coup attempt failed) which Israel's own defence staff warned would provoke rockets, disseminated Israeli lies about the purpose of this war.

They claim it was about the rockets.

However, long before the rockets, long before Annapolis, this war was planned, with the goal of eliminating the democratically-elected Government of the Palestinians, so that Israel wouldn't have to partake in negotiations it could not control and manipulate.

These reports support what Israel's critics have been saying for months now.

Central Madrid on Fire

Fuego
With just days to go before the Spanish general election, anti-rascist campaigners fought running battles with riot police in Central Madrid this Friday, building huge burning barricades and entirely gutting several banks, after the local PP (rightist) council allowed 'Combat Espana' and other fascist groups to gather in Tirso de Molina square, traditionally Madrid's most leftist area and now home to much of Madrids immigrant population.
Mule reporters were on the front lines with a camera and a bottle of beer to bring you this report....

Audio
Bristol Broadband Co-operative's weekly podcast - Dialect - In Friday's edition of the Bristol Evening Post the leader column argued that this Lebanese Newspaper editor should not be allowed to speak in the city. So is Mike Norton's attempt to muzzle Ibrahim Mousawi motivated by a genuine concern to protect the city from terrorists? Or is he just an anti-Arab racist betraying his city on the gold-plated bandwagon of powerful corporations' illegal oil-grabbing wars?

Gaza Violence: Some Lives Worth More Than Others

29-02-2008 19:04

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." --Rabbi Ya'acov Perin in his eulogy at the funeral of mass murderer Dr. Baruch Goldstein.

"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. ... Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice."-- David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky's Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan's "Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

Peace and Justice in East London outside High Court
Another one of those issues happening right under our noses that we know little about: the British government is seeking to deport foreign "terror suspects" to countries where they face the risk of torture and the death penalty. The British government must respect human rights law and understand that a "suspect" is no more than that.
