The Irish Climate camp will take place this year in County Tyrone, from the 12th to the 16th of August. The camp is taking place in support of the local community and their opposition to the proposed new A5. Climate Camp Ireland is a group of individuals that believe in taking direct action against the local causes of climate change. The Camp is open to anyone to attend, and will host numerous workshops on many aspects of climate change.

On Saturday July 3rd, Climate Campers took part in a rally organised by the Alternative A5 Alliance in the area surrounding Victoria Bridge, Co. Tyrone to mark their opposition to the planned building of a new dual carriageway. The rally was a silent and symbolic affair with a hearse carrying a coffin with flowers and wreaths. The coffin had a banner on it that read "Kill the road , not the environment". read full story / add a comment

Abu Daoud is dead but his memory lives on in the struggle for a free Palestine.

The mastermind behind the 1972 Munich Olympics attacjk in which 11 Israeli athletes (who were IDF Reservists) were killed, has died, his daughter and Palestinian officials say. Mohammed Oudeh died of kidney failure a day after he was taken to hospital in Syria, his daughter said. He was 73.

Oudeh - also known under his guerrilla name Abu Daoud - did not directly take part in the attack. He later said he had no regrets because he considered the athletes, as military reservists, to be legitimate targets.

The notion is as absurd as it is reflective on how cravenly this Junior coalition partners will act do to stay in power.
The Greens are not the tail that wags the dog; they are the illegitimate pup which it might have been wiser - in political terms - to have put down the moment he was seen to have been overly frisky
