Speech at the Grave of O’Donovan Rossa
Posted by smeddum on January 6, 2009
Recent Belfast mural {enlarge}
The recent barbarism in Gaza has caused me to recall the words of Patrick Pearse for O’Donovan Rossa, the words run in parallel from Ireland’s darkest hours to those of Palestine
It has been thought right, before we turn away from this place in which we have laid the mortal remains of O’Donovan Rossa that one among us should, in the name of all, speak the praise of that valiant man, and endeavour to formulate the thought and the hope that are in us as we stand around his grave. And if there is anything that makes it fitting that I rather than another, I rather than one of the greyhaired men who were young with him and shared in his labour and in his suffering, should speak here, it is perhaps that I may be taken as speaking on behalf of a new generation that has been re-baptised in the Fenian faith and that has accepted the responsibility of carrying out the Fenian programme.

The Middle East’s Rogue Regime
Posted by seumasach on January 6, 2009
“There are several other casualties of the Gaza War. The most important of these is peace. The whole so-called ‘peace process’ of recent years has now been thrown into reverse. Such is the popular anger aroused by Israel’s actions that there is no hope that meaningful peace talks will be revived in the foreseeable future.”
This is surely the crux of the issue. Obama sought to bring about a change of tack in US foreign policy, taking its focus away from the Middle-East towards confrontation with Russia and China. Israel have just made that prospect a very remote one indeed. Thus , the neo-cons have their revenge for the way in which they have been sidelined and the US elite is now in utter disarray.
Patrick Seale
5th January, 2009
Until the Middle East manages to contain Israel’s rogue regime by a regional balance of power, peace will remain out of reach, says Patrick Seale.
A striking feature of the War in Gaza is the extraordinary immunity Israel has enjoyed to strike and kill at will. Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, leading members of the Israeli government, have not hesitated to resort to mass murder. Yet, no one has been able to stop them. To all appearances, Israel is a rogue regime, spinning out of control.
