Picket of Marks and Spencer Marble Arch 11/9/03 in support of the Intifada

11-09-2003 21:21

The picket is now facing opposition from Zionists and BNP members who for two weeks in a row have set up a stall supporting Israel. They fly the Union Jack alongside the Israeli flag and hand out leaflets defending Israeli supremacy in the Middle East. Zionists who justify the existence of the State of Israel by reference to the Holocaust are standing shoulder to shoulder with virulent Holocaust deniers.

NEW ISSUE OF DO OR DIE!

10-09-2003 21:10

The (very) long awaited issue 10 of radical ecological journal Do or Die is out now.

Do or Die is an occasional journal crammed with reports and analysis from the world-wide ecological frontlines.

NOTE: Although this article is written about the US job loss situation, the "disappearing job" syndrome and the government's pitiful response to the problem are pretty much the same sorry story in the UK. So thought you Brits would appreciate it.

DSEI - have we done it the wrong way?

08-09-2003 23:14

Inside here you can buy anything from a bullet -
