The Eco Soc's showed Margaretta D'Arcys Shell to Sea documentary on their laptop.

the organisation "lunar Republic" have just started the long process of internationalising their proclamation and ideals, their web site has just launched and might prove a good umbrella or maybe not...

For many years now I have lamented the lack of a "space.indymedia", we have added biotech to the global list, we have seen many initiatives on satelite technology, but the issues of space, and the use and misuse of space exploration and speculation are yet to be drawn together by us. read full story / add a comment

Proposed wording for 41.2.1

The State recognises caring work done within the home, often extending to the community, as a social and economic activity that produces social welfare and economic wealth, and entitles carers, starting with mothers, to economic and other support.

The State also recognises that in rural areas caring work has included work on the land which has kept families and communities alive and strong despite poverty and emigration.

Simon Wiesenthal has died in Vienna at 96 years of age.

"When history looks back I want people to know the Nazis weren't able to kill millions of people and get away with it."

Wiesenthal survived the Holocaust ( he had been held in Mauthaussen along with hundreds of thousands of other jews and the spanish republican prisoners) but never returned to his career as architect, instead he became the most effective and well known hunter of nazi war criminals. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday saw quite a lot of near panic amongst a certain class of political leader in Israel, which resulted from the near arrest of Doron Almog, former commander of the IDF in the gaza strip.

A private law suit brought on behalf of 900 Palestinian children meant the moment he got off his plane, he was to be arrested. & the UK Home Office weren't going to get in the way.

The implications are huge.

The facts are:-
A London magistrate issued a warrant for the arrest of Doron Almog over his role in a 2002 bombing raid that killed 15 Palestinians, many of them children.

An Israeli peace movement (Yesh Gvul) http://www.yeshgvul.org/english/ is also compiling a case with London lawyers against chief of staff Dan Halutz, and his predecessor, Moshe Yaalon, over their role in the same operation. read full story / add a comment
