From the www.monabaker.com archive (legacy material) Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London | The Guardian | 4 March 2004 Not to speak out against this injustice would not only be wrong. It would ignore the threat it poses to us all. Racism is a uniquely reactionary ideology, used to justify the greatest crimes in history - the slave trade, the extermination of all original inhabitants of the Caribbean, the elimination of every native inhabitant of Tasmania, apartheid.

From the www.monabaker.com archive (legacy material) Refaat Alareer | www.iopal.net | 1 June 2010 Israel swots up on its homework to be done in Gaza.

From the www.monabaker.com archive (legacy material) Akram Habeeb and Marcy Newman | The Electronic Intifada | 16 February 2009 IT is Israeli universities that contain the laboratories where the weaponry used to destroy Palestinian lives in Gaza and elsewhere is developed.
