Finding the words to say it By William Bowles
Palestinians have been reduced (Orientalized) to ‘terrorists’, ‘fanatics’ and faceless, nameless ‘victims’. Only the ideology of racism can explain this gigantic hole in our reality. Continue reading

The Alien Amongst Us By William Bowles
The use of fear as an instrument of the state’s control of the population is probably as old as the central state itself, whether of invasion, internal ‘subversion’ or the ‘alien’ and records show that in Europe, it’s been used as and when convenient, for at least the past one thousand years.

Lies by Omission By William Bowles
6 October 2006 “An increasing number of people see a dark cloud hanging over Europe. They fear that the birthplace of the Enlightenment and the cradle of free speech is being silenced by the growing assertiveness of an intolerant strain of Islam.” — The Independent Editorial, Wednesday, 4 October 2006. The London Independent’s editorial headed Continue reading

Cockroaches of the World Unite! By William Bowles
There can be no clearer example of the inherently racist nature of Western ‘civilisation’ than the events of the past week. And if anyone doubt the power of language to shape our perception of events let them look no further than the alleged exemplar of ‘objective’ reporting, the BBC and its treatment of the genocidal… Continue reading

Race Matters By William Bowles
21 March 2006 These days, writing about ‘race’ is like walking on soft boiled eggs, especially if you’re a whitey but there’s no getting away from the fact that the issue of race is central to virtually all of the major issues of our times and indeed it can be argued that ever since imperialism Continue reading

(Don’t) Mention the J** word By William Bowles
26 August 2005 Speaking at a memorial for the victims of a Palestinian attack that took place 26 years ago, [Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ze’ev] Boim said: “What is it about Islam as a whole and the Palestinians in particular? Is it some form of cultural deprivation? Is it some genetic defect? There is something Continue reading

The crime against humanity that is the state of Israel. Is there no end? by William Bowles
Every day I get flooded with news, appeals, analysis and background on the crime against humanity that is the state of Israel, but as far as the West is concerned, the daily atrocities being committed against the people of Palestine are non-events. Were such crimes being committed by virtually any country other than Israel, the… Continue reading

The Alien Amongst Us By William Bowles
In the run-up to WWII, the same racist propaganda was rolled out designed to pit people against people (”Why the little yellow bastards!” Time Magazine 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbour) and so too with the Cold War rhetoric whether it was the “yellow hordes” of China or those “commie bastards” or indeed “Islamic… Continue reading

“Why the little yellow bastards!”: Imperialism, nationalism and racism By William Bowles
It should be pretty clear to most right thinking people that there is a direct link between the imperialist project and the rise of racism and as the excerpts above illustrate, it is neither an accident nor is it a new phenomenon. And whilst Blair’s ‘theatrical’ approach may not be as explicit as those of… Continue reading

Jim Crow UK-style By William Bowles
Ten years after the Lawrence inquiry into the death of a young black man and the failure of the police and the prosecuting authorities to bring anyone to book, concluded that the police was “institutionally racist”, a description that can be extended to every aspect of the British state and its institutions.

All the ‘news’ that’s fit to invent By William Bowles
So I figured by at least Tuesday (today) I’d read something of substance on the WTO meeting in Cancun in the major media, but aside from the Independent’s (16/09/03) short editorial that smugly informed me that it collapsed in “acrimony” and that it was “American and French unwillingness to face down powerful farm lobbies”, that… Continue reading

The Media’s killing fields…and so it goes By William Bowles
Channel 4 TV broadcast a ‘documentary’ “Congo’s Killing Fields” (17/08/03) that purported to be a report on the current situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The hour-long doccie had me hopping mad from the very beginning to its very end and cursing the box sitting in the corner of the room. Continue reading

Ignorance is a (conditioned) state of mind By William Bowles
In an essay, ‘How hatred was born’ (sub-titled ‘Ignorance is not bliss’), in the Independent Review (29/07/03) the black American writer Walter Mosley, makes the comparison between the rage that black Americans feel towards a system, run by whites, that has oppressed and exploited them for generations, and the rage felt by people in the… Continue reading

The bizarre mind of the white liberal By William Bowles
I’ve no doubt that Robert Fisk is a decent fellow with compassion for his fellow man and woman and deplores the invasion and occupation of Iraq, yet this quote, which opens the statement splashed over an enormous photo (with a red tint) of the two corpses of the Hussein brothers (ironically, the image has echoes… Continue reading
