I was in the middle of posting an article about yet another example of McCarthyism in American colleges, this time by City University of New York when I came across an article in Ha’aretz of 7.5.11. stating that having withdrawn an offer of an honorary degree, CUNY had now withdrawn the withdrawal!! This is a…

An interesting article on Israeli perceptions of the movement for democracy in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world. It is by Uri Avneri, one of the few left-Zionists left, who unlike most of his compatriots has always been a genuine seeker after peace. Despite many criticisms of Avneir, the article below is worth reading,…

Protecting the Countryside of Sussex from Farmers and the Agro-Business One of the delights living in Brighton is the easy access to the newly created South Downs National Park. One of the goals of Brighton Unemployed Centre is to provide access to recreational activities for the unwaged/unemployed and working class. One of a series of…

The murder of Osama Bin Laden by US navy seals is a matter of supreme indifference.

Israel’s leaders and Zionist apologists never fail to use the Holocaust as a weapon against anti-Zionists and Palestinians, but when it comes to the holocaust survivors themselves it’s different. They are denied the compensation the Israeli government was paid but which it used…

Hats off to the Guy Who Poked Camilla! Police Attack on the Right to Protest as they Make ‘Anticipatory Breach of the Peace’ Arrests As the royal parasites exchanged their promises to continue robbing the poor and working class, Police stepped up their attempts of previous years to prevent all protests.

Imagine the uproar if in Britain Christian Ministers issued edicts that property should not be let to Jews because property prices would decline and in any case their ‘way of life’ is different. In fact it did happen in the 1950’s and 1960’s and such things like a Race Relations Law and active anti-racist campaigning…

Atzmon blowing his own trumpet Atzmon Humiliated Atzmon is beginning to realise where holocaust denial and his virulent brand of anti-Semitism leads. At present it is the status of a leper, with all 3 fellow panellists deserting him. His explanation for Palestinian Ghada Karmi not attending is that she sent him an e-mail: “I’m delayed…
