About two weeks a book review made its way into the New York Times & then by editorial selection (the universal vagaries and whimsical nature of which we all must agree) into the "best of review" by which the NYT increases newspaper sales by a few kilograms at the weekend. But the reader interest and plugmanship didn't stop there. Within a week the local language issues of the NYT had picked up on the story and translated it into the major European tongues. (but obviously not gaeilge, polish or chinese). The story is now a pay for view - but it has excited certain interest in the Eastern seaboard US blogosphere & touches on areas of cognitive analysis which I first raised in 2003 - namely "are their rules or ritualised preparations for being a suicide bomber?" So I'm reproducing it here. read full story / add a comment

For a Nation with a population less than that of London, Ireland to its credit has always had a historic, vibrant and rigorous left wing political culture, thus it is impossible to do justice to what constitutes the Irish Left of today in a single article. This piece is far from a complete bibliography and unlike many previous articles on the Left in Ireland, I have included the Irish Republican Movement. Whilst I accept this may not be to the liking of some readers, in my opinion not only do many Republican organizations deserve on merit to be within any serious analysis of the Irish Left, but I believe it would be nonsensical to exclude the Irish Republican Movement, not least because it has acted as the mid-wife to much of today's Irish left. Republicanism has at times also managed, for a host of differing reasons, to divert some of the finest sons and daughters of the Irish working class into the cul-de-sac of nationalism. read full story / add a comment

I thought MIchael Warschawski's views on the latest development in Gaza, written on June 18 and coming from a Jewish anti-Zionist perspective, may be instructive for some of our local defenders of Israel.....and, of course, an eye-opener for some of our 'left' Islamophobes.... http://www.alternativenews.org/blogs/michael-warschawsk....html The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims with great satisfaction. read full story / add a comment

Peader de Bluit Tá seanfhocal ciallmhar sa Gaeilge a deir, "Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí". Tá nath ábharaín éagsúil ag an gluaiseacht seo áfach.

On the morning of Monday 18th of June. The squatted autonomous social centre Villa squattus dei in Leuven Belgium was evicted. The Eviction came without warning, giving the squatters no chance to remove their belongings. Thankfully as the squat had only been used as a social centre for the last few months and not as living space, no one was inside, and no arrests were made. The contents of the house were emptied into a skip. read full story / add a comment |
