The sixty million payoff to prison officers in Northern Ireland could be much better spent on addressing the causes of crime such as poverty, social deprivation and prison rehabilitation. Prison officers who served during the Troubles could walk away from their jobs with packages of more than £120,000 plus pension as part of a £60m redundancy programme aimed at ‘modernising’ the service. read full story / add a comment

The settler colonialists intensify their assaults both in the occupied West Bank and within Israel. The olive-pickers are assaulted by settler colonialists with partial backing of State forces in spite of the participation of Israeli activists. International support for a Palestinian State alarms the settlers and their reprisals are channeled against the Palestinians. The social struggle against neoliberal capitalist piggery continues and the State tries to divert attention by intensifying terror in the Gaza Strip. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

It is sometimes said that while anti-capitalist and alternative globalization movements are clear on what we do not want, we are less clear on what we do want (socialism, anarchism, specifics). Certainly, recent movements have not been as effective as their predecessors (labor in the 1910s and ‘30s; the social movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s) in sustaining the sorts of practices – intellectual and material – that put into effect aspects of the alternative world we seek. My colleague Alan Sears attributes this current inability to a decline in what he calls “infrastructures of dissent” or what I prefer to call “infrastructures of resistance.” As anti-capitalist movements face possibilities of growth, as happened after Seattle in 1999, questions of organization and the relation of various activities to each other and to broader movements for social change can only become more urgent. Yet, the absence of durable organizations or institutions, formal or informal, rooted in working-class organizations and communities, makes for demoralization or a retreat into subculturalism, as has happened to many of the alternative globalization groups. We now face a pressing need to rebuild “infrastructures of resistance” that might sustain not only activists and organizers, but especially the poor and working-class people who are being disastrously impacted by the current crisis. read full story / add a comment

An Irish anarchist perspective on today's EU crisis summit decision to reduce Greek debt by 50%, in the face of the recent resistance by the Greek working class. Particularly as contrasted with the differing levels of resistence in Ireland and the corresponding dictat of making the people of Ireland pay 100% of the debts incurred in the Irish property boom casino by globalised finance. read full story / add a comment

The local struggle of the villages against the crawling occupation frustrate the striving of Israel to take over all the areas around the Palestinian towns and leaving the towns and cities as separated islands. The picking of the olive trees open many battle arenas where settler colonialists are encouraged by the Israeli state to expand the areas around them "clean of Palestinians". The anarchists against the wall and other radical Israelis share with the Palestinian partners some of the injuries inflicted by settlers while state forces prefer a neutral position. Anata was the bloody arena at the beginning of the month. In addition to the accompanying farmers to fields and olive trees we participated in the usual location of week end demonstrations: Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asara (where they celebrated the 5 year anniversary), Ni'ilin, and Qaddoum (which joined for persistent struggle 4 months ago).

The joint struggle continue this week with wounds of Anata pogrom by of duty settler colonialists of the state forces living in Anatot still hurting. The state force officers on duty but did nothing to prevent it...banned the Friday demonstration at the site. The tension around the return of the war prisoner Gilad Shavit and release of 1000 Palestinians in return were subject most talked. In regular Friday demos and in special ones near Ofer concentration camp solidarity with prisoners was prominent. The season of olive picking started few days ago increased involvement of Israeli activists in the protection farmers from harassment by settler colonialists. The usual locations of Arakib Beit Umar, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, Sheikh Jarrah, were joined by Jayus. The activity of the High Follow up Committee of the popular grass root comities collect momentum and involve coordinating of multi location demonstrations. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The 'Occupy X' movement arrived in Ireland over the weekend when a core group of around 50 people set up camp at the Central Bank Plaza on Dame street. Numbers grew to a few hundred at times over the next days and nights as supporters came down to join in for a while and the curious stopped to see what was going on. Issues highlighted by participants included the bank bail out, IMF intervention & the ongoing Great Oil & Gas Giveaway.

Dale Farm is a halting site which is also the largest concentration of Irish Travellers in Britain, being home to over 1000 people (about 100 families), many of whom are said to have their cultural roots in Rathkeale in Limerick. It was started in the 1960s when a number of families bought the former scrapyard site and Basildon council granted planning permission for 40 houses. This happened in the context of broad progress in race relations and a brief breeze of relative official tolerance for Travellers, epitomised in the liberal-sponsored 1968 Caravan Sites Act. Basildon Council have put aside an £18 million budget to bulldoze the site and forcefully evict the families (a staggering figure when you consider that in 2010 the total UK budget for providing Travellers with halting facilities was less than 30 million).

mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Monday October 10, 2011 21:10 byIlan S.
The peak of the struggle was the escalation in the settler colonialists' terror in 'Anata, where a mob of local settlers - including personnel of the State forces who live there, attacked Jewish radical activists accompanying Palestinians who tried to access their land. The State forces - police and gendarmes - present stayed presumably "neutral" but threatened activists and even arrested three. As a measure against the settlers' escalating terror, the joint monitoring project of the popular grassroots committees is collecting momentum. The "regular" locations of joint struggle - both within the 1948 borders, mainly the Bedouins of the south, and Jaffa; the weekly joint demonstrations the Anarchists Against the Wall are involved in: Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Nabi Salih, Ni'lin, and Ma'sarah; and Sheikh Jarrah too. Other sporadic locations like at-Tawna were active too. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The desperation of the settler colonialists resulting from the approaching of the moment of truth and the shattering of their dream of the enlarged Israel, cause mounting of brutal assaults. Latest escalation was in the brutal assault on the Israeli non violent activists in the village Anata near the Settler colonialist settlement Anatot. The escalation was also of the state forces who were present at the confrontation but all they did was arresting three activist on concocted charges. State force personnel living in the settlement who were of duty participated in the assault. The main locations of joint struggles the anarchists against the wall activists are the leading Israelis: Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nabi-Saleh, and Ma'asara keep the struggle going, and so are the struggles in Sheikh Jarrah, Arakib, Wallaje, and the South of Hebron Hills.

Bil'in was the first of the joint struggle nonviolent struggle to persist. During the years new joint struggles started with involvement of the previous joint struggles and persist for long time. Older locations who did not persist, join again from time to time. Last year or so few additional struggles initiated by villages activists on their own initiative. The organizing of the joint comity of the local struggles enhance the struggle and initiate from time to time concentration of efforts in one location. Lately, another joint initiative of the comity intending for monitoring the colonialist settlers terror was started. Main locations within Israel and in the occupied Palestinian west bank expand: Araqeeb, 'Anata, 'Asirah, Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Jaljuliya, Ma'sara, Nabi Salih, Ni'iln, Sheikh Jarrah, South Hebron hills, the social struggle, Tel Aviv.

Day after day, year after year, the struggle against the Israeli advanced expansion, suppression and pressures on the Palestinians to be transferred out of the region continues all the time. The efforts of persistence - Tsumud in Arabic - continue throughout the years with a scant portion of the members of the Jewish community joining the struggle. Some of them join only specific aspects of the struggles. A very few join the struggle wholeheartedly, without reservation. The struggle against the separation fence initiated by grassroots activists of villages along the route which was joined by the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall (AAtW) in 2003 has brought the non-violent direct-action mode of struggle into the media focus - thanks to a large extent to the video photographers of the AAtW and the ActiveStills collective. In recent years more and more Israeli radicals have joined us or have initiated their own projects. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle interwoven with the expectation for the UN show down Though Israel is in panic, and many Palestinians are with mixed feelings - the joint struggle against the separation fence, occupation, and the suppression of the Israeli Palestinian continue. The struggle against the new wave of attack on the Bedouins - both within Israel and the occupied west bank continue. So is the struggle against the terror of the colonialist settlers against the Palestinian neighbors. And of course the struggle against the separation fence already built and in building. Special focus is in fierce struggle in occupied east Jerusalem - mainly Silwan and Sheikh Jarah. The main locations are: Arakib, Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Kufur Qaddom, Ma’sara, Nabi Saleh, Sheikh Jarah, Silwan, Social Struggle, South of Hebron Hills. The social struggle against the neo-liberalism continue in the various locations in both Jewish and Palestinian communities. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

Derrick Jensen represents the current peak synthesis of primitivist and insurrectionist thought. And while both trends are declining within anarchism thanks to the global upswing of mass struggle against austerity, like in Egypt, Wisconsin, Spain, and so on, such trends are still able to get a good event together in Minneapolis, like the hundred or so people who attended the showing of END: CIV, a movie inspired by Jensen’s writing, and like it, a dead end for any relevant conversation on the present moment. read full story / add a comment |
