The Atlantic Homecare outlet on Childers Road, Limerick that earlier this year removed all Israeli produce from its shelves (in response to a protest by the IPSC) now appears to be redoubling its effort to sell as much Israeli made Keter produce as possible to unsuspecting customers. In what appears to be a clear attempt to at least distract, if not completely mislead customers, they have a large poster on a Keter shed with the slogan "Irish Owned - make it Irish make it Atlantic ..." read full story / add a comment

After it was defeated in its war with Iraq, in 1988 the Iranian Regime massacred thousands of political prisoners. The majority of these were socialists and communists. This is the story of a commemoration which is held each year in honour of these martyrs. Full text and more photos at the link. In Iran , every year on the 31st of August the families of those executed , gather in Khavaran , an unmarked cemetery where thousand of communists and socialists were buried , to commemorate the lives of communists executed in the regime’s jails. This year the families arrived with the same smile and courage that have marked these commemorations for years. Elderly mothers who lost their sons in that period were joined by younger members of the families as well as students and supporters of those executed in 1988. read full story / add a comment

In yet another blow to the SWP George Galloway has now issued a document which severely criticises the SWP and the way in which it is mismanaging RESPECT. The document is available in full at the url below. "Unhealthy" internal relations, a lack of democratic decision-making, financial crisis and looming "oblivion". Last week, the Respect MP sent a scathing eight page document to all members of the Respect National Committee. read full story / add a comment

In the face of a concerted anti-Arabic and Islamophobic campaign , Yemeni born teacher , Debbie Almontaser , has resigned as principal of the Brooklyn based Khalil Gibran International Academy . Almontaser’s earlier failure to “instinctively denounce” a NYC Intifadia T-shirt in terms satisfactory to Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post had resulted in a witch hunt being organized against her and the school she helped found by right-wing Zionists, Christian fundamentalists and Islamophobes . Instead of offering support to the veteran teacher , United Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten ,added her voice to the racist campaign . read full story / add a comment

Here an Iranian Socialist and Anti-Imperialist explains why it is not a good idea for Iran to develop or to maintain Nuclear Power stations. Full text at the link. Those in the Iranian socialist opposition arguing for a nuclear-free Iran have either been absent from the Western left's discourse or have been getting the short end of the stick from some in the US left. Trapped in a mentality as simplistic as that of George Bush's, a good part of the US left has been repeating a similar logic, by saying that either you go along with the imperialists' plans and support Bush or find excuses to support Iran's government's pursuit of nuclear energy. read full story / add a comment

Last week, Joan Burton, a highly talented finance spokesperson and stalwart of the Labour Party withdrew her candidacy from the running for leadership of the Labour Party (a centrist concern with a pre-election pact with a right wing party). She cited lack of internal party support for her decision and nominated herself for deputy leader. This is a problem, for the preceeding forty eight hours The Irish independent Newspaper had been running the Gilmore story on both front page and editorial columns as The main bet for leadership, There is no other candidate declared. Deputy leader Liz Mc Manus is delaying nomination until later in the week. The profiling of women in irish politics, especially in mainstream parties relegates women to secondary positions, indeed a cursory glance at the papers indicates that politics is indeed a 'Job for the Boys', Tony O Reilly says so and he makes a lot of profit out of it. read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday afternoon there was a sit down protest by about 30 inmates in the yard of Limerick Prison. According to rte.ie the protest was against harsh punishments imposed on those caught with drugs by the prison governor, as the deployment of 'Rocky' the sniffer dog has led to the seizure of most drugs coming into Limerick Prison. read full story / add a comment

Increasingly the patient is no longer seen as a passive recipient of medical treatment. Attempts are being made, at least at an ideological level, to involve patients more in the design of medication and to lend some weight to what patients really think of medication and how it is affecting them. Naturally there are life saving chemicals like penicillin, insulin and cytamen (for vitamin B12) but there is a plethora of more optional drugs on the market not least a whole cabinet of neuroleptic drugs. From my own observations as a patient for over 30 years attending clinics and hospitals throughout that period it is unclear whether many of these drugs have an authentic role in (a) preserving life or (b) in improving the quality of life of the patient. read full story / add a comment

Mr Frank Muldowney from Dublin, is the man who is creating a Global Pilgrimage for Peace from country to country, but the roots of it came from the organiser of the MS Society in Dublin, Mrs Lorna Mitchell. Her vision was the beginning of hundreds of peace and charity walkers across Ireland and abroad. She has now retired after 18 years of organised walks from China to South Africa to Peru. read full story / add a comment
