POV: amiri baraka: Whose Free Speech?

09-07-2003 04:10

"We must kill the poets first" Plato wrote in the Republic... New Jersey's removal of Baraka as state poet laureate. The First Amendment, it seems, only guarantees freedom of speech to those who can afford a station or a press. It has taken a century of struggle, in the face of state sanction violence for oppressed people to gain the right of free speech. The state's revoking of the poet laureate position is a clear message to other cultural workers: Get out of line and you will pay the price.

06-07-2003 22:03

The Chief Rabbi has warned that Britain is being "besieged" by asylum seekers and has advocated regional refugee camps outside Britain in an attempt to deal with the problem.

In an interview with The Telegraph Dr Jonathan Sacks, the spiritual leader of 280,000 British Jews, said that new policies were needed.

Dr Sacks himself admitted that were it not for Britain's willingness to accept Jewish refugees in the past, "almost no Jew in Britain would be alive today".

Collective Punishment & the Violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention

06-07-2003 15:05

The international community does nothing to enforce Fourth Geneva Convention and so the confiscations go on, slowly changing the landscape and dispossessing the Palestinians; confining their existence to smaller parcels of land while the colony-settlements expand. One more way for the Israelis to pressure the Palestinians to move away. It is wrong and wrongful and does nothing to perpetuate peace.
