Fabian Frenzel | 22-02-2006 11:33 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Sheffield

Pappe was invited by the Sheffield Palestine Solidarity campaign to talk about "Israel in the post-Sharon era".

Earthquake delegation. Incredible survival story exposes media apathy.

For 64 days Naqshah Bib lay in the ruins of her kitchen. The earthquake flattened her house and the rest of the refugee town of Kamsar. She survived by drinking stream water that had trickled through the ruins, scraps of rotten food were found around her. She was discovered barely alive by her cousins and pulled from the rubble. Before being found she was just another of the many missing people from the town.

The nurses caring for her at Rawalpindi hospital are unsure of her chances. Her body has wasted and she is unable to communicate, barely aware of her surroundings. We don’t stay long, wishing her well and leaving some flowers. Her father who also survived has lost both his legs.

Indymedia - growing pains or symptoms of decay

Over the last couple of weeks a battle has been raging and opening fissures that threaten to drive apart the United Kollectives of Indymedia on this island. Unless you subscribe to the Sheffield IMC mailing list you are likely to be unaware about the arguments over claims of lack of communication, transparency and the existence of hidden hierarchies within the network.

Spectacular Terrorism and the Terror of the Spectacle

“Such a perfect democracy constructs its own inconceivable foe, terrorism. Its wish is to be judged by its enemies rather than by its results. The story of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructive. The spectators must certainly never know everything about terrorism, but they must always know enough to convince them that, compared with terrorism, everything else must be acceptable, or in any case more rational and democratic” (Guy Debord, Comments on the Society of the Spectacle).

Make the G8 History and Make Poverty History Too!

Bono’s recent statement on behalf of "Live Aid" should help to make the G8 deliver something concrete. He is right to call for people to march to Gleneagles and demand more, because even if this new pledge is delivered - it could deepen the disaster for the poor under current unfair trading rules determined by unelected world regime - the g8.
