"It's a living organism that has a very nasty, evil side to its ideology, but it ends there, it begins there and it ends there and we shouldn't, again, exaggerate our analysis of Zionism beyond the fact that from a Palestine perspective, it is a destructive ideology, it's bad enough, it has nothing else to it and nothing else should be added to this." "They (EU politicians) don't want to talk about Zionism as colonialism, as racism, they don't want to talk about genocidal policies, ethnic cleansing policies, crimes against humanity, war crimes" "It is the only prison in the world that children are being born in it that have no chance of getting out of it" ... read full story / add a comment

The Labour party has overtaken Fianna Fáil in the recent TNS/MRBI poll. The first time in the history of the state. A historic moment for those interested in the wider labour movement (as opposed to the revolutionary movement olr the labour party). I am not too familiar with the methodology behind this poll but I assume it is a fair and honest reflection of the electorate at the present moment. The TNS/MRBI poll predicted the outcome of the last election with relative precision. Fianna Fáil’s satisfaction rating has plummeted to 14 percent. 62 per cent want a change of government. The support for the parties is as follows: Fianna Fáil, 22 per cent (down 5 points); Fine Gael, 32 per cent (down 2 points); Labour, 24 per cent (up 10 points); Sinn Féin, 9 per cent (up 1 point); Green Party, 4 per cent (no change); and Independents/others, 9 per cent (down 4 points). The message is simple: the electorate want Fianna Fáil out of office. ... read full story / add a comment
