The Battle of Nabi Saleh: Soldiers vs. Kids

Andrew C. Weber | 05-07-2010 11:13 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Israeli Soldiers vs. Kids
When Israeli soldiers entered the embattled Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh on July 2, they were immediately confronted by over a dozen small children. While the IDF is accustomed to firing teargas canisters, percussion grenades, rubber bullets and even live .22 caliber ammunition at adolescent boys, members of the Nahal unit and Kfir infantry brigade tasked with suppressing the weekly Nabi Saleh demonstration were frustrated by the children who surrounded and taunted them. At one point, the division commander became so upset he barked into his radio, “I need backup!”

This show looks at the moral component of dumbing down, the undermining of people's innate altruism and moral sense, making them easily manipulable by money.

Bill McKibben | 02-07-2010 10:01 | Climate Chaos | Sheffield | World

Dear World,

It’s been a tough year: in North America, oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; in Asia some of the highest temperatures ever recorded; in the Arctic, the fastest melting of sea ice ever seen; in Latin America, record rainfalls washing away whole mountainsides.

The anguish of the age: Emotional reactions to collapse

Robert Jensen | 30-06-2010 19:05 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis | Sheffield | World

We live amidst multiple crises -- economic and political, cultural and ecological -- that pose a significant threat to human life as we understand it.

There is no way to be awake to the depth of these crises without an emotional reaction. There is no way to be aware of the pain caused by these systemic failures without some experience of dread, depression, distress.

To be fully alive today is to live with anguish, not for one’s own condition in the world but for the condition of the world, for a world that is in collapse.
