Pointless police harassment! →
occupytraf:
Police in the square have been arresting people one by one for not giving their name and address, taking them to the police station to get their details and then dropping them back at the camp.
A young camper was taken away in a police van. He wasn’t arrested and wasn’t given chance to refuse to give his details. Police have refused to tell campers where he’s being taken and why....

ATHENS — Pro-Palestinian activists hoping to draw international attention to Gaza’s plight faced further setbacks Wednesday, as reports a second boat had been “sabotaged” pushed the departure back to the weekend at the earliest. Frustrated volunteers for the Gaza-bound flotilla milled helplessly around in Athens as organisers also admitted they...

From Haaretz
Did the Prime Minister’s office distribute a fake anti-flotilla video? This is exactly what some American bloggers have been claiming, after probing a video that was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday. The video, nearly three minutes long, featured a young man who called himself Marc and claimed to be a gay and human rights activist. The man recounted a...

Whats everyone up to tomorrow?
Plan for tomorrow:
9 - be at my university’s main UCU picket line, a thermos of tea may be optimistic but I’ll try and bring some cookies and doughnuts.
11 - be in the city centre to join the solidarity demo.
3 - hope on a coach to London for the Marxism festival.
Busy as a bee.

Something needs to be done about this right now - not in 10 years like other cases that involve Native people and hate crimes.
Read this.
I feel like a trigger warning is needed for this. I got incredibly upset reading this and I imagine it could be quite triggering for others. Regardless, action needs to be...

The law will now be passed to the full Knesset for a final reading, where it is expected to pass due to the current makeup of the Knesset. Since 1967, Israeli forces have demolished 24,813 Palestinian homes. 90% of these homes were destroyed for ‘administrative’ reasons – because they either lacked a permit or were in an area designated for expansion by the Israeli...

I have been told by some that Feminism is a silly lifestyle to participate in, that it is riddled with hypocrisies. The specifics have varied, but one of the more interesting ideas is the “chivalry” argument. “You want equal treatment, but you still expect a guy to pay for your meal!” I hear. Not true. I do not expect a guy to pay for my meal all the time. I do sometimes, but it has...
