Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is Wrong About the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act Tue Jul 30, 2024 09:00 | Dr Julius Grower
Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

Good work folks, well done. I keep meaning to get to these vigils but there's always something in the way of it happening (very, very young twins, visitors, meetings elsewhere, etc). I suspect there's many like me, so your numbers are probably much more than are visible.
Again, well done,
Mark.
Keep on keeping on folks. Amazing the acceptance in Ireland of co-operating with torture and internment with these kidnap flights at Shannon.
Check out this film review in the Guardian of "Standard Operating Procedure" dealing with the issue.
Just released hope it makes it to Limerick

Shannon is in Co.Clare Ciaron.............
Very good on the gography there B baby, from memory you're right. But my guess is the closest urban centre with a multiplex could be Limerick at a guess. Hope the film makes it to Ennis as well
The need for vigils at Shannon; and for dedicated people continually to voice their displeasure at having the US military effectively invade the area, is greater than ever. As a writer, I am remain dismayed at the apparent reluctance of more Galway-based writers and artists to become more fully involved in this area. The same small number, often under attack from cynical pretend-socialists and other me-fheiners in the city, turn out dutifully and more praise to them. We should be grateful for their courage.
Stay on topic folks. It is important that writers and musicians and other artists get involved in what is happening at Shannon. Their best use would be to exercise some sort of cultural pressure on local politicians. If they are not pepared for any of this, there isn't much can be done to persuade them. The US military presence on Irish soil is a disgrace and an insult to our sovereignty - surely everyone can understand that?
What Fred Johnson says about Galway writers in his comment above amounts to a gross falsification of the facts, for which he should issue a public apology.
A reading from 'Poems From Guantanamo Bay' was held recently in Galway and several prominent Galway writers were actively involved.
See an article about it here.

Internal squabbling and self-flagellation within the peace movement is counterproductive. Lets save our anger and criticism for those who have either committed or been complicit in crimes against humanity.
Different individuals within the peace movement have the opportunity and inclination to commit to different levels of activism, at various times. This is the nature of volunteerism. It is pointless criticising others because we may feel they are not doing enough. Focus on what you can do yourself, and lead and motivate by example.
In my experience we all tend to greatly underestimate the amount we can achieve, and most peace activists prevaricate far too much. We need to seek out opportunities to promote human justice, and we need also to act when momentary opportunities present themselves.
Remember it is pointless regretting our failures, or others failures, to act in the past, and we can only waffle about what we might do in the future.
The only time we can actually act is in the present as it rapidly passes us by. The motto “if not I, who, if not now, when” has an awful lot more meaning that its few words might suggest.
We need all the support we can get down at Shannon, every weekend if possible.
If you can spare one hour for the people who are being tortured and unjustly killed and injured in unlawful wars, please do so by protesting at Shannon airport.
