In a report published in the Irish Times print and Web editions on Thursday 2 April, Mark Weiss in Jerusalem tells us that Israel’s new prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, will pursue peace "negations" on three levels. Not peace negotiations, but "peace negations".

Is the coining of this new term the work of the reporter's automatic spell checker, or is it a Freudian slip that reveals an unconscious truth about Netanyahu's attitude to peace with the Palestinians?

In the Northwest United States, on the Columbia river, a war is being waged against Nature. Humans are at war with the fish, with the sea lions, and with the river itself. As fishing industry is killing off tens of thousands of endangered salmon, and the Bonneville dam is killing of tens of thousands more, wildlife "managers" are executing sea lions as scapegoats so that they can raise fishing quotas yet again, for the third year in a row, on the endangered salmon. The sea lions are supposed to be congressionally protected, but wildlife "managers" claim that they must kill off predators in order to leave more fish for fishermen to kill in their nets. PLEASE HELP US to stop this. ... read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather outlines why the demands put on Iran by Obama cannot be met. Yassamine also analyses developments regarding the upcoming elections in Iran. Full article at the link.

Obama’s message to Iranians to mark Norooz, the Iranian new year, was hailed by sections of the media as “unprecedented” and “historic”, offering a new beginning in Iran-US relations. It was therefore inevitable that when ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme religious leader, dismissed the message as consisting of meaningless slogans, Middle East and Iran ‘analysts’ expended a lot of effort trying to put a positive spin on a very unambiguous negative response.

Holylands needs shared future (but not too many taig students, please) - Henry McDonald Newsletter 23 March 2009

The man the Newsletter calls “the respected journalist Henry McDonald,” the Newsletter's Ireland correspondent - sorry, mistake, the Guardian's Ireland correspondent - calls students who drank a lot on St Patrick's Day 'Catholic/nationalist'. What's more, they are 'rural', shock horror. Ticks all the prejudicial boxes - cannot be allowed.

But how does Henry know?

It's easy: 'judging from the Gaelic football and Glasgow Celtic shirts, as well as the names of those the PSNI decided to arrest'.

Would the Guardian publish this type of drivel about the Notting Hill carnival? No because in that case it would be racist. In this case it is merely sectarian, while claiming not to be. ... read full story / add a comment

As well as opposing Imperialist aggression towards Iran it is also important to support those Anti-Imperialist forces which are struggling against the reactionary Iranian Regime. Full article at link.

Down with the Imperialists & Mullahs!
Support the Women, Workers and Students!


The level of repression against radical activists and voices of opposition to the Islamic Republic in Iran has increased in the recent weeks. Activists from the students’, women’s and workers’ movements, as well as those from national and religious minorities, have all suffered violent attacks and arrests. Eight labour activists from the Haft Tapeh sugarcane factory union in southern Iran have been detained by the intelligence ministry, including Ali Nejati, the president of the board of directors of the Haft Tapeh Sugar Cane Company Workers’ Syndicate, who was arrested on March 8. ... read full story / add a comment
