By Barry Grey

Terror Bombing Victims

Goldstone's Shameful U-turn
By Ilan Pappe

http://www.countercurrents.org/pappe050411.htm

Winning Zionist love in the short-term is far less important than losing the world's respect in the long-run. Palestine should choose its friends with care: they cannot be faint-hearted nor can they claim to be Zionists as well as champions of peace, justice and human rights in Palestine


Goldstone's Rethink
By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook050411.htm

Israel would certainly like observers to interpret Goldstone's latest comments as an exoneration. In reality, however, he offered far less consolation to Israel than its supporters claim


Richard Goldstone's Fall From Grace
By Stephen Lendman

Goldstone's shameless reversal exposes the true man, a Judas, not what most people believed


Another War On Gaza?
By Ali Abunimah

http://www.countercurrents.org/abunimah050411.htm

In recent weeks an escalation in violence between Israel and Palestinian resistance factions in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip has claimed the lives of more than a dozen Palestinians, the youngest of them 10-year-old Mahmoud Jalal al-Hilu. Does this escalation increase the likelihood of another large-scale assault on Gaza similar to "Operation Cast Lead" in winter 2008-2009 that killed more than 1,400 Palestinians? There are worrying signs Israel -- by its words and deeds -- could be laying the ground for an attack

Climate Change: A Warning From The Past
By Dr Andrew Glikson

http://www.countercurrents.org/glikson050411.pdf

The current rate of greenhouse gas rise is unprecedented in Earth history, excepting global volcanic events and asteroid impacts. The rise of atmospheric energy levels since the 18th century by 3.2 Watt/m2, masked in part by aerosols, leads the climate to over 2 degrees C temperature rise and meters-scale sea level rise


Despicable Lies, Delusional Recovery
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/hirschhorn050411.htm

The official government unemployment figure has been carefully crafted to intentionally underestimate actual unemployment. The way the data are collected through a survey of homes intentionally ignores a number of unemployed and underemployed Americans

By Ram Puniyani
