Norway Divests from Leviev Companies Due to Israeli Settlement Construction

27-08-2010 09:18


August 23, New York, NY – In a major victory for the international movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel, the Norwegian government announced today that it has divested from Lev Leviev’s company Africa Israel Investments and its construction subsidiary Danya Cebus due to their construction of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The move followed a campaign of more than a year by affected Palestinian villages of Bil’in and Jayyous and by Norwegian, Palestinian, Israeli, and international activist groups, including Adalah-NY, calling on the Norwegian government to divest from Africa Israel.

The companies of Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev have been the target of a boycott campaign that led UNICEF and Oxfam to renounce donations from Leviev, the British government to sever business ties with Leviev, celebrities to seek distance from him, and divestment by other major investment firms.

ENA, Brighton Bank Holiday Monday, Flier for counter mobilization

25-08-2010 11:06

The English Nationalist Alliance are hoping to march in Brighton on the August Bank Holiday Monday. The ENA are a fascist group who are trying to impose their far right idea of English identity on us all. Their stand on muslims is 'to send the bastards home cos we haven't got the room'. The march in Brighton, 2 days after the EDL hold their demonstration in Bradford, is to protest against 'the anti English activity in the area'' by ''militant students'', ''socialists'', ''anti war activists'' and ''attacks on industry by supporters of Palestinian Militants''.

We are a broad group from the local area and beyond who are are calling for a counter mobilization to show the ENA that their fascists views are not welcome on our streets and to stop them from marching in Brighton.

How does poking fun at Iranian culture helps America lube the wheels of war?

24-08-2010 22:14

n the modern era, humor has worked again and again to dehumanize target countries as a standard part of war propaganda. In a democracy, where support of the population at large is supposedly a prerequisite for attacking another country, jokes are a common means of dehumanizing, demonizing and generally placing the population of the targets of the attack into the category of Other. Empathy plummets; and civilians in the aggressor state find it increasingly difficult to put themselves in the (Islam-approved) shoes of those on the receiving ends of the bombs. Most troubling is that liberals and progressives – those you might expect, ostensibly, to oppose a U.S. attack on Iran – are just as likely to laugh the country to war as hawks.

“Countdown to Zero” — or to War on Iran?

24-08-2010 07:00

Countdown to Zero is now playing in a theater near you, at least if you live in a very “blue state” or a “blue neighborhood,” for example, Cambridge, MA, my hometown, or San Francisco. The movie is aimed squarely at the antiwar, anti-nuclear pro-Obama audience, which dwells therein and is all too susceptible to the “humanitarian” streak of imperialism. It is a very shrewd propaganda flick, as Darwin Bond-Graham demonstrated in his superb review, a film which in fact helps to pry open a little bit further the door to a war on Iran.

Mass insanity:“War on Terrorism” propaganda ratcheted up ahead of war escalation

21-08-2010 18:13

Exemplified by the furor over the so-called “Ground Zero mosque” in New York, and rumors of a new Al-Qaeda “mastermind”, 9/11 “war on terrorism” propaganda has been ramped up to deafening levels by various political factions. Nearly a decade since Bush/Cheney’s 9/11 false flag deception, a fearful, self-destructive American mass public remains fully brainwashed by “war on terrorism” deception--- ignorant of history, and militantly oblivious to facts.
