Time to step up direct action

19-01-2009 23:52

In the great revolutionary struggles of human history, direct action – that is, empowered people taking steps to bring about social change – has played a crucial role. In its nonviolent form, direct action encourages the kind of constructive tension necessary for growth and progress in society. A catalyst for change, it opens the door to negotiation.

Holocaust Denied: The lying silence of those who know

08-01-2009 13:57

"When the truth is replaced by silence," the Soviet dissident Yevgeny Yevtushenko said, "the silence is a lie." It may appear the silence is broken on Gaza. The cocoons of murdered children, wrapped in green, together with boxes containing their dismembered parents and the cries of grief and rage of everyone in that death camp by the sea, can be viewed on al-Jazeera and YouTube, even glimpsed on the BBC. But Russia's incorrigible poet was not referring to the ephemeral we call news; he was asking why those who knew the why never spoke it and so denied it.

From Dachau to Gaza

01-01-2009 09:34

Today, the United States and Israel are striving to consummate a Middle East version of the Munich Pact that will sell out of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and a real independent state of their own. Only history will tell if the consequences shall be as tragic for the fate of the Arab and Jewish peoples in the Middle East , if not the rest of the world. I fear that there is a high probability that history will repeat itself.

Rwanda: No Conspiracy, No Genocide Planning....No Genocide?

26-12-2008 08:39

ICTR-ADAD Defence Counsel Peter Erlinder says that there was no "genocide" in Rwanda as mainstream media have led us to believe. If he is right and I think he is, then we will have to totally re-evaluate the lies we've been told about Rwanda in the same way we have about Iraq.
