The Fred Perry Murder
From the wonderful web magazine Souciant, by Magadh, Jun 26, 2013 The fight, in which Clément Meric died, apparently started over some shirts. An 18-year-old student at Paris’ prestigious Sciences Po, Meric was headed to a clothing shop in the 9th Arrondissement when he encountered a group of skinheads headed to the same store. His killer, Esteban Morillo, is […]

From Tendance Coates, with apologies for some added hyperlinks and gently corrected typos: Counterpunch’s friend Israël Adam Shamir does not only write about Dreyfus on Entre la Plume et l’Enclume (between the Pen and the Anvil). He, for example, wrote a vibrant defence of Gilad Atzmon on the same site earlier this year […] calling him “un volcan vivant, un titan pourvu d’un sens de […]

The Parti Socialiste dropped references to class struggle and a ‘break’ (rupture) with the market in the 1990s. But it did not become, as some on the left alleges, […]

France: Following on from this, here is Andrew Coates: Dieudonné’s French ‘Anti-Zionist’ List: Worst Political Alliance in Europe? Few deny that ‘Anti-Zionism’ can be a cover for racism. But rarely does it lead to this broad alliance. In France the mixed-race (Cameroon-French) ’humourist’ Dieudonné has launched the Parti Anti-Sionist (Site).

This argument is often made with the intention of undermining serious discussion about antisemitism, but other times it is taken up by sincere people […]
