- Hypocracy as a Way of Life
- Extracts from Marimba Ani, Yorugu, 7 February
1995. A critique of the European ethical ethos. Within the
nature of European culture there exists a statement
of value or of
moral
behavior that has no meaning for
the members of that culture.
- The ‘Protocols of the Elders of
Zion’
- By Danny Keren, 30 October 1995. The
Protocols of the
Elders of Zion
, the most notorious and most successful
work of modern antisemitism, draws on popular antisemitic
notions which have their roots in medieval Europe from the
time of the Crusades.
- Marx and Freud: special issue of NST
- Abstracts of Vol. 8, no.1, August 1996.
- A larger consciousness
- By Howard Zinn, ZNet Commentary, 10 October
1999. The memory of the Jewish Holocaust should not be
encircled by barbed wire, morally ghettoized, kept isolated
from other genocides in history. It seemed to me that to
remember what happened to Jews served no important purpose
unless it aroused indignation, anger, action against all
atrocities, anywhere in the world. Appended are critical
comments by Prime1918@aol.com
- In Europe, the Ordinary Takes a Frightening
Turn
- By T.R. Reid, Washington Post, Thursday 1
March 2001. The continent veers almost weekly from one
health panic to the next. A biologist at the Helsinki
Institute of Biotechnology attributes the
culture of
fear
to carry-over from genuine health problems, trends
in environmentalism, anti-Americanism and a pessimistic
strain in the European psyche.
- Generation Europe leaves Brits out
- BBC News Online, Monday 26 March 2001. An
increasingly European identity is emerging among the young
people of Europe, but the Brits remain determined to be
British. A new survey of 21- to 35-year-olds in Europe
shows one third of young people see themselves as
Europeans first and foremost.
