The Sinful Nature of France – according to the Religious Bigots
Those who believe that religious fundamentalism is confined to those of the Muslim religion should think again. First we had a bad, mad Evangelical preacher in Arizona, the state of John McCain, saying that those who went to see a group with the name Eagles of Death Metal were inviting Satan into their life and…

Read MoreRacists, Fascists & Zionists Seek to Exploit the Paris Massacres
An excellent column from one of the very few excellent Israeli columnists, Gideon Levy, who is unsurprisingly a target of the Israeli far-Right. people-hold-hands Bataclan His message is a simple one. There is no connection, as the Zionists are trying to make between the bloody murder in Paris by the barbarians of Isis and the…
Read MoreChild Abuse – An Israeli Speciality

As the Israeli state heads full steam towards becoming a fully fledged police state, yet another nutty far-right piece of legislation falls into place. From now on, if you support boycotting Israel you won’t be admitted to the country. Bear in mind, of course, that this means that people who wish to visit the Palestinians…
Read MoreDie Linke – Germany’s Left Party Scabs on the Palestinians
A good article on America’s Jacobin site, on another German party, this time the left Social Democratic Party, Die Linke, which was formed by the former SDP MP Oscar Lafontaine and the ex-German Communist Party PDS led by Gregor Gysi.
