NOVANEWS Dear Sammi, It was great to meet you yesterday even if we did not have much time to discuss.  I am attaching a few different things: Racialism a danger to Labour 1961.  There are a number of pages about Birmingham here in fight against racists and fascists and its class line in seeking to unite the unions, community organisations seems correct. The language is of course of 1961 and I think all sectors of the working class fighting racism used that language.  I would welcome any comment. “There is only one effective method for dealing with racialists: to use the organized strength of the working class to deal them such a blow that they dare not show their faces in the streets of the city. Birmingham No. 9 branch of the A E U has put in a more militant addendum to the above resoluti...

NOVANEWS GODSIFF ACCUSED OF "DIRTY TRICKS" BY DIRTY SALMA YAQOOB Labour MP Roger Godsiff has been accused of dirty tricks by the Respect candidate  Dirty Salma Yaqoob Respect Party  as they couple battle in Birmingham's Hall Green constituency. One of Godsiff's election leaflets appears to suggest Dirty Yaqoob isn't standing in the Westminster election. Just see this looking for jewish vote: 'Palestinian dispossion is a reason to participate in Holocaust Memorial Day, not boycott it.' * Nothing about Palestinian Holocaust. The H.M.D is a Zionist project. * The Guardian 21.12.2006

NOVANEWS 09-04-2010 News that retiring Labour MP Lynne Jones is offering support to Respect’s Salma Yaqoob rather than her own party’s candidate Roger Godsiff has sent shockwaves through West Midlands political circles. Tony Kennedy, secretary of the Hall Green CLP insists Godsiff has the full support of members and is “famed for being hard working” in the local area. In his response, Kennedy makes reference to the recent resignation of long-standing Labour member David Spilsbury whose resignation letter published on The Stirrer earlier this year contained reference to the fact that Godsiff had never lived in Birmingham despite being an MP in the city for 18 years. Here’s Kennedy’s full letter to Stirrer editor Adrian Goldberg: Dear Adrian, I am Secretary of Hall Green CLP. Roger Godsiff ...

NOVANEWS Here's a curious piece in the European Jewish Press. Apparently Respect was behind the Holocaust Memorial Day. The Muslim Council of Britain has been castigated by various Zionists in the media for boycotting HMD. Well now Respect's support for the event has caused great disgruntlement to Zionists. Check this: We believe that Respect may have organised this Holocaust Memorial Day event as a political ploy to inoculate them against what so called future charges of anti-Semitism. When they attack the Zionists in future, they will point to their embrace of Holocaust Memorial Day to demonstrate that their criticism is purely about the Zionist state of ‘Israel’ and that they care very much about Jews. The question is what does SALMA YAKOV Respect councillor and Respect have to do to ap...

NOVANEWS In its leader column, the paper said the country is "crying out for change. Which is why, after much soul-searching, the News of the World believes that David Cameron and the Tory Party must now be given the chance to run the country. "Right now, they are our best hope for a brighter, saner, safer, more honourable future." The tabloid, the country's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper, said Mr Cameron still has much to spell out and prove, but it added that Britain deserves better after the "nightmare we have all suffered". "We certainly do not deserve a headlong return to the days of Old Labour, of division, strikes and lost opportunity. "This paper backed New Labour to rid the nation of such a blight. Now, confronted with a renewed threat from old ways, the modernised Tories can be...

NOVANEWS UK MP Gerald Kaufman Delivers the Eulogy at Western Zionism’s Funeral “My grand­mother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Pales­tin­ian grand­moth­ers in Gaza.

NOVANEWS Haaretz: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1159299.html By Akiva Eldar Shamir Salads, an Israeli company located in the West Bank, is marketing its products in Europe using a false address west of the Green Line, violating an agreement between Israel and the European Union. Jewish activists last week gave the left-wing Gush Shalom movement a label from a Shamir Salads hummus tin they bought in The Hague. The tin has a Kiryat Ata address on it and a Tel Aviv area phone number. The company's Internet site, however, says it can be contacted at Shamir Salads 2006 ltd., P.O.Box 5, Barkan industrial area. Advertisement The European Court of Justice ruled last month that products manufactured in West Bank settlements are not Israeli and will be taxed. The trade agreements with the EU s...

NOVANEWS Steve Walt says that I was wrong in my characterization of the news that Harvard’s Weatherhead Center scheduled an Israeli consul general as a speaker. I said the invitation reflects the fact that Weatherhead houses Martin Kramer, the neocon sandbox blogger. Walt: I think you went a bit over the top on the story about Nadav Tamir (the Israeli consul general here in Boston) speaking at Harvard. Unless I’m mistaken, he appeared at the regular Middle East seminar at the Weatherhead Center, which is run by Herb Kelman, Sara Roy, and Lenore Martin, all very reasonable people. They bring a wide array of people in, including (last year) Avi Shlaim and Nir Rosen. Second, Tamir himself is not a bad guy (remember he’s the one who got in hot water for saying the Israeli policies were causing...
