The racial divide (and inequality) writ large!

A glaring example of not all people being equal before the law in the US of A

"In what justice advocates are calling "a stunning abuse of power," Florida prosecutors - the same ones who let Mssrs. Zimmerman and Dunn get away scot free for murdering two unarmed black teenagers - are seeking to triple the original 20-year sentence of Marissa Alexander, a 33-year-old mother of three who fired a shot in the direction of her abusive husband who at the time was beating, strangling and threatening to kill her much as he had with earlier "baby mamas," and who himself testified that yes, she did the right thing because he would have beat the shit out of her. State Attorney Angela Corey says state minimum sentencing laws mandate she seek consecutive sentences that would total 60 years. Critics say Corey, an enthusiastic dealth penalty supporter and seemingly all-round awful person, is on the defensive from lawsuits and claims of over-charging defendants to bully them into plea bargains, and "is using the full power of the system to serve her own political ambitions at the (cost) of one woman’s life and every woman’s safety,” which sounds about right to us. More broadly, what is with Florida, its disastrous Stand Your Ground laws - which even Zimmerman's lawyer now says should be changed - and (too many) women who achieve positions of power, only to abuse them? Alexanders's retrial is set to begin in July. What you can do here."

Robert Fisk's predictions for the Middle East in 2013

There is no gain-saying that Robert Fisk, fiercely independent and feisty to boot, is the veteran journalist and author covering the Middle East. Who doesn't he know or hasn't he met over the years in reporting from Beirut - where he lives?  In his latest op-ed piece for The Independent he lays out his predictions for the Middle East for 2013. Read the piece in full, here - well worthwhile - but an extract... "Never make predictions in the Middle East. My crystal ball broke long ago. But predicting the region has an honourable pedigree. “An Arab movement, newly-risen, is looming in the distance,” a French traveller to the Gulf and Baghdad wrote in 1883, “and a race hitherto downtrodden will presently claim its due place in the destinies of Islam.” A year earlier, a British diplomat in Jeddah confided that “it is within my knowledge... that the idea of freedom does at present agitate some minds even in Mecca...” So let’s say this for 2013: the “Arab Awakening” (the t...

Palestinian children in irons. UK to investigate

Not for the first time does MPS wonder what sort of country it is when Israel so flagrently allows what can only be described as barbaric and inhuman behaviour to be undertaken by, amongst others, its IDF. No one has seemingly challenged Israel's actions. However, perhaps it's gone a bridge too far - as The Independent reports. The Foreign Office revealed last night that it would be challenging the Israelis over their treatment of Palestinian children after a report by a delegation of senior British lawyers revealed unconscionable practices, such as hooding and the use of leg irons. In the first investigation of its kind, a team of nine senior legal figures examined how Palestinians as young as 12 were treated when arrested. Their shocking report Children in Military Custody details claims that youngsters are dragged from their beds in the middle of the night, have their wrists bound behind their backs, and are blindfolded and made to kneel or lie face down in military vehi...
