The Criminality Of Nuclear Deterrence
By Professor Francis A. Boyle
http://www.countercurrents.org/boyle070813.htm
The human race stands on the verge of nuclear self-extinction as a species, and with it will die most, if not all, forms of intelligent life on the planet earth. Any attempt to dispel the ideology of nuclearism and its attendant myth propounding the legality of nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence must directly come to grips with the fact that the nuclear age was conceived in the original sins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945

By Ghali Hassan

Despite the rhetoric of "fair go" for everyone, Australia 's approach to immigration is biased in favour of people from certain racial and ethnic groups. This approach also applies to vulnerable refugees who risk their lives to come to Australia

The critical issue of the ever expanding illegal Israeli colonial settlements on the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) in the West Bank (WB), which are peace killing in eastern Jerusalem in particular, will make or break the newly resumed Palestinian – Israeli negotiations
Reasons For Palestinian/Israeli Futile Talks
By Dr. Elias Akleh
http://www.countercurrents.org/akleh070813.htm
One more time Palestinian and Israeli negotiating teams play the charade of peace talks under the auspices of the biased pro-Israel American broker. Everybody knows, even the politically naïve average man of the street, and especially the three involved parties that this round of talks, like the many previous talks throughout the last 20 years, will not reveal any tangible success. So why negotiate again?
Stop Running After Illusions In The Negotiating With Israel
By Dr Salim Nazzal
http://www.countercurrents.org/nazzal070813.htm

By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud070813.htm
Seasons come and go, yet Arab countries are in ongoing turmoil. They called it an 'Arab Spring', but even if that 'spring' had ever existed in the shape and form that the media portrayed it to be, it never really lasted. It has now morphed into something far more complex
A Formula For Survival In Damascus
By Franklin Lamb
http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb070813.htm
For more than a year Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp, one of nine in Syria, has been a war zone between supporters of the Syria government and those seeking its overthrow. But the number of camp pre-crisis residents actively engaged in fighting on either side is negligible according to Dr. Hamed Mouad author of the first book on Yarmouk camp history and sociology and himself with many of his relatives, camp residents until they had to flee Yarmouk eight months ago. Yarmouk residents overwhelmingly refused to join either side despite great pressure put on them from both sides to "liberate" Yarmouk from the other side. They paid a big price for insisting on neutrality and non-involvement
Welcome To Post-Constitution America
By Peter Van Buren
http://www.countercurrents.org/buren070813.htm
One by one, the tools and attitudes of the war on terror, of a world in which the "gloves" are eternally off, have come home. The comic strip character Pogo's classic warning -- "We have met the enemy and he is us" -- seems ever less like a metaphor. According to the government, increasingly we are now indeed their enemy

The Rebirth of Detroit
By Tom Stephens
http://www.countercurrents.org/stephens070813.htm
"Restructuring' is a necessary process. More than a feel-good alternative corporate word for bankruptcy, it should include regional social justice, racial reconciliation, reality-based economic theories and development strategies, and universal accountability to the 'triple bottom line' of equity, ecology and economic benefit. It will only happen in the context of what the Civil Rights Movement came to call The Beloved Community. And that lies beyond the dominant paradigm and beyond capitalism

History will recognize Sir David Low, not only as Humanitarian Humorist and cartoonist with extra ordinary wit but more importantly he was essentially an 'anti war' activist! He used all his powers as humorist against 'war-mongers' and against the dictators

I will stay in the rain holding on to my children till I get assurance from the authorities concerned starting from the Chief Minister that my just demands be fulfilled. For me this is not a fight for my personal gain- it is so that we will still have land to live in, beaches to play and haul our boats and nets, the sea as a friendly presence in our lives

AFSPA: In The 'Aid' Of Civil Power?
By Ravi Nitesh
http://www.countercurrents.org/nitesh070813.htm
AFSPA should not be required to exist in any civil area. It must be made sure that no law should be above humanity and justice; no law should exist if it can permit unlawful or inhuman activities. It is unfortunate and shameful that justice has closed her eyes. It is shameful that inhumanity is being proliferated in the name of aiding civil power
TV Series Objects Way Of Conducting Not Politics Behind Operation Blue Star
By Jaspal Singh Sidhu
http://www.countercurrents.org/sidhu070813.htm
A TV serial produced and anchored by Kanwar Sandhu former Managing Editor of Chandigarh-based 'Day & Night' T.V. channel on the Indian Army attack on Golden Temple, Amritsar in June 1984 largely questions the way of conducting the Operation but slips the basic politics that led to the storming of the holiest place of the Sikhs. And the serial which, obliviously, finds fault with Army general's military strategy does not unravel why the Indian State chose to suppress the political dissent of a minority with mammoth use of the force knowing well the Operation would entail serious repercussions
