Rethinking Gandhi
By Ted Glick

http://www.countercurrents.org/glick260810.htm

Those of us who want to be effective leaders have to be prepared, have to welcome even, taking a back seat so that others can step forward to speak up and give leadership. Our organizing work has to be about working with others in such a way that they grow to become not just leaders themselves but "leadership trainers," bringing others along just as they were


Preliminary Findings And Recommendations Of
National People's Tribunal On Kandhamal
By The National People's Tribunal Jury

http://www.countercurrents.org/npt260810.htm

The jury observes, with concern, the institutionalised communal and casteist bias of state agencies, and their deliberate dereliction of constitutionally mandated duties, their connivance with communal forces, participation in and support to the violence and a deliberate scuttling of processes of justice through acts of commission and omission. The state agencies have blatantly failed to extend much- needed institutional support to victim-survivors and protect them from ostracism, socio-economic boycott and subjugation by non-state actors


The Simple Future Beyond Oil: The Convergence Of
Our Economic And Ecological Futures
And The Importance Of Change
By Paul Mobbs

http://www.countercurrents.org/mobbs260810.htm

Change is essential, but also inevitable because we can no longer maintain our global levels of consumption and pollution. Whilst once rigidly separate, the economic and ecological world are now converging to recognise the impending restrictions on "business as usual"39. How we deal with consumption is a physical issue, but it's also a spiritual one. We can change brands, or the way we buy things, but the most important thing to change is our view of ourselves – the reason we consume in the first place

Jordan Valley Demolitions: A History Of
Ongoing Silent Deportation
By Ahmad Jaradat & Maria Chiara Rioli

http://www.countercurrents.org/jaradat260810.htm

The Jordan Valley's tormented history started after the 1967 Middle East War.

That moment was the beginning of a movement of silent but continous deportation of the population in the area

By Reham Alhelsi

http://www.countercurrents.org/alhelsi260810.htm

Numerous are the examples of the nature of Zionism which is pure terrorism, racism and ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples and the theft of their land, history and culture.

Intl Humanitarian Law...
(For all intents and democratic purposes)
By Chandi Sinnathurai

http://www.countercurrents.org/sinnathurai260810.htm

People have strong opinions about the credibility of the Sri Lanka Lessons Learnt Reconciliation Commission (LLRC). In a democracy, each person is entitled to have their opinions. Both their rights and privileges are protected by the state; even for an opposing voice, advancing a contrary argument. We do not know how much of a "free country" Sri Lanka is in this sense. However, what an ex-UN Under Secy General Dhanapala has said while testifying before the LLRC is worthy of serious consideration
