Amnesty's report on weapons used by both sides in Gaza finds much to condemn.

http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE15/012/2009/....html

The group is particularly hard on the U.S., having found numerous remains of American munitions -- including white phosphorus shells from Pine Bluff Arsenal, and a Hellfire missile made in Orlando.

Another weapon which bothers Amnesty is a mysterious munition, filled with cubic particles.

This type of ultra-precise strike capability is supposed to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties.

So we turn once again to Garlasco's comment, from an earlier conflict:

"It is unfortunate that these weapons are being developed specifically for use in densely populated areas which may negate the intended effect." read full story / add a comment

national / anti-capitalism / press release Wednesday February 25, 2009 12:39 by Workers Solidarity   image 1 image
In February, the WSM continued its series of public meetings about why capitalism is in crisis and why working people should refuse to make sacrifices to benefit the rich. Limerick and Bray were the latest. We will be continuing our efforts to spread anarchist ideas in this vein over the coming months, with meetings planned for Drogheda, Galway, Derry, Navan, Tralee, Tipperary and Ballina. Also, our next radio show will be appearing on NEAR 90.3 FM, a Dublin community radio station, in the near future. read full story / add a comment

A Public Debate is to take place Tomorrow night (Wednesday February 25th) in The Plaza Hotel Tallaght at 20.00

The title is 'Public Sector and Private sector workers should not pay for the bosses crisis'

The speakers FOR have been confirmed and are - Cllr. Mick Murphy, Socialist Party, and Denis Keane of the CPSU (Personal capacity)

The Speakers AGAINST - We have contacted the Green Party, Fine Gael and South Dublin Chamber of Commerce and asked them to send a speaker along, hopefully they will turn up on the night.

So if you are concerned about the economy, and the feel that the ordinary PAYE worker is being unjustly targetted by the government, and want to hear the ideas people on both the left and the right have in relation to trying to tackle these problems, then you should come along!!

Patrick Kavanagh said that no one could write a comprehensive account of Irish life who ignored the Gaelic Athletic Association. Likewise, any attempt to chronicle events of the last century would be far from complete if CIE was omitted.
