Pre-emptive Policing By Craig Murray
I am deeply concerned about pre-emptive policing, or arresting people who might be going to do something wrong.

How a London Court Repudiated Zionist Abuse of the Anti-Semitism Charge By Mike Marqusee
Taunting and tainting opponents with the charge of anti-semitism is a long-standing Zionist ploy, familiar to everyone involved in the Israel-Palestine issue. As their support weakens in the face of evidence-based argument, Israel’s advocates have stepped up their use of the accusation as a means to close down debate, particularly on proposals for boycott, divestment… Continue reading

Freedom Rider: Chickens Roost in Woolwich By Margaret Kimberley
Two British-Nigerians frightened the great former colonial empire to death by nearly beheading a soldier, in London. Yet British and other western politicians have far more blood on their hands than the young Africans. “This killing was no more awful than those committed by the military from the U.S. or other NATO nations.” Continue reading
