The article by a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal, Iranian-American Amir Taheri, was initially published in Friday's edition of Canada's National Post, which ran alongside the story a 1935 photograph of a Jewish businessman in Berlin with a yellow, six-pointed star sewn on his overcoat, as required by Nazi legislation at the time. The Post subsequently issued a retraction. Taheri's story, however, was reprinted by the New York Post, which is owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, and picked up by the Jerusalem Post, which also featured a photo of a yellow star from the Nazi era over a photo of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Another neo-conservative publication, the New York Sun, also noted the story Monday, claiming that the specific report that … [read more]

A first balance sheet of the International Anti-imperialist Anti-capitalist MeetingFrom 4-7 May, 2006 the "International Anti-imperialist Anti-capitalist Meeting" (IAAM) took place in Athens, Greece. It was organised in parallel to the European Social Forum (ESF) intending to propose alternatives to latter's neo-reformism and civilism. From the very beginning of the anti-globalisation movement the Anti-imperialist Camp together with various other fraternal forces have been contesting the movement's paradigm embodied by its former icon Toni Negri: "Globalisation does away with the nation state and also with imperialism. Thus another world is possible within or beyond (which is synonymous) this capitalist world."The American imperial war drive has falsified all these assumptions and Negri … [read more]

On the shameful decision of Communist Refoundation, Italy, to support the occupationBi-partite Italy these days is quarrelling about governmental positions and their benefices but not about troop deployments. On this matter the centre-left-right is unified more than ever in the common imperialist interest.It has become a kind of hypocritical rite being played after each fallen soldier according to which the Italian troops in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan are there to bring peace and humanitarian aid. The reality of war and occupation, the crimes committed against the people, all this is being systematically covered up.But this is not only hypocrisy, it is also a clear political choice. We have been witnesses of the way the centre left and right agreed on the plan to "withdraw" the … [read more]

Solidarity delegation plannedRecently the minister for refugees of the new Palestinian government, Atef Adwan, visited Sweden and Norway. While in Sweden he met representatives of the parliamentary opposition, in Norway even a meeting with a functionary of the foreign ministry took place.Given the hard-line Zionist position to starve the Palestinian people and to boycott its democratically elected government taken by the European Union on the US coat-tails, the Swedish decision to grant visa to Atef Adwan is already a political success as such. This is being confirmed by the aggressive Israeli reaction against Sweden calling its ambassador into the foreign ministry. Norway already before had dissociated somewhat from the US war drive by abolishing the "Black list of terrorist … [read more]

By John Gibler San Salvador Atenco, Mexico - At 7 AM this past Wednesday, May 3rd, state police blocked 60 flower vendors from setting up their stands at the Texcoco local market in the State of Mexico, about 20 miles east of Mexico City.
