Welcome to my brand new ID. (Acquired 2004-06-11 ca. 16:30 UTC or 17:30 British Summer Time)


My name's Alex Wright and I'm a 21-year-old university student in Birmingham, Central England. I'm unashamedly left-wing, pro-Palestinian, pro-Chechen separatism (e.g. see my Chechnya H2G2 article), and anti-Zionist and against US imperialism. I also support drugs legalistation (especially marijuana legalisation). I enjoy reading Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, and Robert Fisk. I do try to add NPOV entries to articles though. (I do spend a lot of time changing "terrorist" to "militant" in Palestinian articles, and I reckon that's making the article more neutral).

I completely condemn all attacks on civilians and other war crimes, and particularly despair of the massacres of thousands of civilians committed by Western democracies in their wars. (For example, in 1999 US President Clinton, British PM Blair and International Development Secretary Clare Short--who apparently condemned the war on Iraq--claimed a Serbian TV station was a military target, and it was legal to murder 16 journalists just to keep it off the air for a few hours. I'm sure they wouldn't consider CNN, FoxNews and the BBC military targets).

I speak quite a bit of German (I'm studying German for A-level) and I have also done GCSE (English secondary school leaving) exams in French and Spanish. I managed to memorise most of the Russian Cyrillic and Greek alphabets without that much effort, although I don't know many words. I keep meaning to learn some Esperanto but never get round to it.

I added the original "Critisism of Reagan" section (now split up into smaller bits) to the late Ronald Reagan's article, shortly after his death. Although after some spelling corrections it mysteriously disappeared until I put it back on 11 June 2004.

[edit] Diego Garcia

After watching a Pilger programme, I am also very angry about Harold Wilson's forcible deportation (or mass kidnap) of 1500 Chagos Islanders and the sale of Diego Garcia to the Americans for a £5 million discount on illegal weapons of mass destruction (Polaris nukes), who use it is a military base. I am very angry that the British criminal justice system continues to let surving conspirators, Lord Healey, get away with this crime against humanity.


[edit] In Memory of Yasser Arafat

I give my condolences to the Palestinian people and the Arafat family following the death on 11 November 2004 of Palestinian President (since 1996) and PLO chairman (since 1969) Yasser Arafat aka Abu Ammar. He was a guerrilla leader and a resistance fighter who never gave up fighting for a Palestinian state, and failed to surrender at Camp David in 1999 when Bill Clinton and Ehud Barak offered him a Bantustan solution ignoring the right to return of the millions of Palestinian refugees and the occupation of East Jerusalem.

I hope the new PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas aka Abu Mazen will continue the struggle through armed and non-violent resistance--and through negotiations if possible--to liberate Palestine from Israeli colonial occupation.

I despair of US President George W. Bush claiming he supports (as has every other US president) the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as he continues to send $12 million a day in financial and military aid to the aggressive colonial occupying power: propping up their economy since tourism dried up; and subsisidising their brutal, murderous, torturing military and security forces, their illegal occupation, demolition of Palestinian houses and building of illegal Jewish colonial settlements.

Not to mention Bush's endorsement of the Butcher of Sabra and Chatila, Ariel Sharon's plan to annex colonies on the West Bank with the help of the apartheid wall after turning Gaza into a massive open air prison, by withdrawing soldiers and colonists but apparently maintaining control of the airspace, ports, and the border with Egytian Sinai.

[edit] Your question about Lebanese terrorists

I don't know what pro-Israeli Wikipedians would revert. You might ask one. Incidentally, this debate belongs here. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 21:06, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
