In Counterpunch, Aug 4th 2006, Jonathan Cook reports on Human Rights Watch's analysis of civilian casualties inflicted by Hizbullah and the IDF and concludes that indiscriminate media reporting is perpetuating at least two inaccuracies: that IDF strikes are "targetted" with Lebanese civilian deaths being a result of Hizbullah using them as human shields; and that Hizbullah attacks are deliberately targetting civilians. read full story / add a comment

The major communication mediums of the world continue to bombard the public with images and descriptions of the Israeli-Lebanon conflict. The media works tirelessly to deliver our social consciousness. Today’s mass media maintains its status as the principal means of creating and sustaining social realities. The internet-based ‘independents’ lack real independent front-line resources and continue to rely on the mainstream for most of their information (much to their chagrin). read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin spokesperson on Natural Resources Martin Ferris TD has accused Shell of duplicity in their announcement that they are to drop their court injunction against the Rossport Five. Deputy Ferris said: "In announcing that they are dropping their injunction, Shell have absolved themselves of the requirement to surrender key documents relating to various aspects of the pipeline project. On Monday Justice Mary Laffoy made an order of discovery that for the first time would have placed this information into the hands of those who object to the pipeline. "The fact that Shell, after more than a year of attempting to bully Rossport men, should now drop their action speaks volumes. It confirms what many of us believe; that the entire deal regarding the Corrib field stinks to high heaven. The fact that Shell is willing to abandon its campaign of intimidation rather than shed any light into this dark corner speaks for itself. read full story / add a comment

During the summer of 1946, over 40,000 British people took the law into their own hands and squatted in property that they didn't own - initially disused military camps, then empty hotels and blocks of flats. It was an unprecedented movement of civil disobedience, and it presented Atlee's Labour Government with its first great crisis. Mark Whitaker tells the story - with testimony from several of the squatters themselves. read full story / add a comment

Indirectly confirmed by John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the UN (and sociopath) in a public statement; the first casualty of war is LANGUAGE – the needless slaughter of innocent children in Qana by an Israeli airstrike was an “accident of war”! In the face of an obvious war crime it is now incumbent on the Bush regime, especially its representatives Bolton and Rice, to define the rules of engagement and what constitutes a war crime. We do not forget how quick the U.S. and NATO were to condemn war crimes in the Balkan conflict – it would seem that allies of the U.S. (Israel) are immune; their obvious crimes become tragic ‘accidents’ whereas those opposed to the U.S. are war criminals and liable to indefinite incarceration (‘Torture’ Bay) or trial in an ‘independent’ court at the Hague. read full story / add a comment

Sect with class roots Ted Grant died on July 20 at the age of 93, after more than 75 years as a Trotskyist activist. He was the effective founder and theoretical guru of the Militant Tendency, which at its height, recalls Mike Macnair, before the splits of the 1990s, was probably the largest and best-rooted of the Trotskyist organisations in Britain read full story / add a comment

Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, south of Tyre Saturday July 29, 2006 Guardian Inside a well-furnished apartment in a village on the outskirts of Tyre, with shelves of books piled from floor to ceiling, a black turbaned cleric and three men sit sipping bitter coffee. By the door is a pile of Kalashnikovs and ammunition boxes; handguns are tucked into the men's trousers. The four are Hizbullah fighters, waiting for the Israelis. read full story / add a comment

The people are once again faced with a very real opportunity to act and change the status quo. The USA has abandoned its traditional role of peacekeeper in the Middle East. Two clear prerogatives present themselves in the face of ongoing hostilities, a people’s movement or another nation filling the vacuum left by the U.S. (which has tragically become an involved party in the conflict). How many times must the opportunity for Peace go begging? read full story / add a comment

The following is an article I read in the Irish Times. At first I thought I was reading an article by Richard Perle or some other neo-con ideologue but then I saw its author was none other than Joschka Fischer.
