Community Mobilizes Against Police Murder of Adolph Grimes Darwin 2009-01-08 6:02 PM

Community leaders gathered outside the police station today say Grimes was straight up murdered and that a full investigation can only be the beginning of bringing his killers to justice. The immediate police response to today's protest was to send out multiple plain-clothes officers to observe the demonstration. One undercover officer in dark glasses and a ball cap filmed the scene, recording the identities of those present. At one point there were six plain-clothes NOPD officers on Rampart Street observing the protest, one officer for every four protestors. Such responses to even the most peaceable of gatherings serves to intimidate and scare off otherwise aggrieved community members who fear police will target them if they are filmed at a rally.

Zionist Mass Murder: Break the Siege, Defend Gaza! Internationalist Group 2008-12-30 3:57 AM
At midday on December 27, Israeli warplanes launched a massive bomb attack on the densely populated Gaza Strip. More than 270 Palestinians were killed as wave after wave of U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopters dropped more than 100 bombs. The Israeli military said they were targeting Hamas installations, but numerous civilians were killed, including a number of children, as schools had just let out for lunch. The Zionists' attack on downtown areas was deliberate mass murder. The Israeli slaughter was carried out with the full knowledge and a green light from its imperialist patrons in Washington, as well as U.S. client regimes such as Egypt. The Internationalist Group and League for the Fourth International condemn the Israeli mass murder in Gaza and call for action by the international working class in defense of Gaza and the Palestinian people, including efforts to break the siege.
