Exposition sélective

Je n'aime pas les intellectuels
Qui se prennent pour des intellectuels
Les Michel Onfray
Les Michel Houellebecq
Qui vont parler
Avec Nicolas Sarkozy
Qui sont invités
Par Nicolas Sarkozy
Et qui sont toujours
Mes chers balourds
Du côté du plus fort
Du côté du plus mort
Je n'aime pas les artistes
Qui se prennent
Pour des artistes
Les Gérard Depardieu
Et autres prie-dieu
Qui ne pensent qu'à l'argent
Qui ne sont que des dents
Intellectuels, artistes, du spectacle
Cela crache dans la soupe
Cela houspille, cela tacle
Cela s'affiche avec les tyrans
Cela aboie, c'est méchant

Statement read out on the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court steps by one of the Boycott Israel 19

Statement read by Jerome Small - one of the Defend the Boycott Israel 19 on May 1st outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court, on the first day of their trial.

Our first task is to acknowledge that where we are standing right now is stolen land, and that the Wurundjeri people and the Kulin nations have never surrendered this land, nor given up their sovereignty.

Our next task is to acknowledge the colossal, life and death struggle being waged as we speak by Palestinian prisoners inside the jails of Apartheid Israel.

Gomeroi activism stops Woolworths in Moree as Aboriginal nations mobilise across Australia

By Michael Anderson

Gomeroi representatives at Moree in northwest NSW can proudly boast a victory against a big transnational corporate development: Woolworths.

It’s been announced that the Woolworths chain are withdrawing their proposed development and expansion of the network stores in Moree.

Woolworths are withdrawing because of the Gomeroi’s steadfast opposition to the store’s expansion, which would have seen a Rugby League oval demolished and a significant Gomeroi cultural site, where human remains have been located, totally disturbed and possibly destroyed.
