In A Nuclear War The 'Collateral Damage' Would Be The Life Of  All Humanity
By Fidel Castro

http://www.countercurrents.org/castro211010.htm

The World's peoples have an obligation to demand of their political leaders their Right to Live. When the life of humankind, of your people and your most beloved human beings run such a risk, nobody can afford to be indifferent; not one minute can be lost in demanding respect for that right; tomorrow will be too late

"Zionism And Peace Are Incompatible"
By Alan Hart

http://www.countercurrents.org/hart211010.htm

At last somebody has said it in the most explicit way possible. The somebody also said: "The problem is Zionism and the solution is dismantling the Zionist framework and instituting a secular democracy that does not discriminate between Israelis and Palestinians." The somebody was Miko Peled, a Jewish peace activist who was born in Israel and lives in America


Jewistan: Finally Recognizing Israel
As The Jewish State
By Francis Boyle

http://www.countercurrents.org/boyle211010.htm

If Netanyahu is really serious about Israel being recognized internationally as "the Jewish State" then there is a simple manner by which this universal diplomatic status can instantly be achieved unilaterally and without the consent of the Palestinians. Under basic principles of international law, every state is free to change its own name if it so desires: e.g., from Congo to Zaire then back to Congo. Therefore Israel is free to change its name to Jewistan -- the State of the Jews


Ahmadinejad Galvanizes Lebanon's Palestinians
By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb211010.htm

One largely unnoticed achievement of the Iranian President's visit remains among the Palestinian refugee community in Lebanon. Close to a quarter million of whom are " living in cages" to borrow President Carter's description during his meeting this week with Hamas leader Khaled Mashall in Damascus, to describe how their sisters and brothers are forced to exist in Gaza

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman211010.htm

For the first time....three (documented) cases of children reporting being given electric shocks by Israeli interrogators (occurred) in Ari'el Settlement." Each was accused of stone throwing. Electric shocking extracted confessions although the boys maintain their innocence


Honduras: Crisis And Progress
By Bill Quigley & Laura Raymond

http://www.countercurrents.org/quigley211010.htm

Today, October 21, the democratic resistance in Honduras will celebrate Artists in Resistance Day. This event contrasts directly with today's official recognition of Honduras Armed Forces day. The resistance, which is working for a truly democratic Honduras, renamed the day and created an alternative celebration because of a brutal police attack on musicians and others last month that left one dead and scores injured

Continuing Growth Is Not An Option
By Tim Murray

http://www.countercurrents.org/murray211010.htm

It is astounding that civic debates are conducted without the slightest comprehension or awareness of Peak Oil and its implications. With triple-digit oil and ten dollar a litre gasoline on the near horizon, we will have more to worry about than keeping ice rinks and schools open. Feeding the mouths that are already here may prove to be an insuperable challenge. Forget fuelling the local Zamboni, fuelling tractors will be our focus. Growth ,"smart" or dumb, will not be an option

Latin America: Roads To 21st Century
Capitalist Development
By James Petras

http://www.countercurrents.org/petras211010.htm

A wealth of data based on extensive field interviews, statistical studies published by international development agencies, reports by economic consultancies and business and investment houses, as well as discussions with independent social movement leaders provides ample documentation to argue that Latin America has taken multiple roads to 21st century capitalism, not socialism or anything akin to it

About Tea Partiers and their deep-pocketed ability to manipulate minds effectively with considerable right wing media support


Flaming France
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury211010.htm

Success or abortive effort of the present French protest will not be the last act of the French people opposing neoliberalism. The movement, if subdued by force and tricks, and compelled to retreat, will learn lessons and equip itself for future rising for a fair share in economy and politics


Ensuring Right To Education In The Red Corridor
By Gladson Dungdung

http://www.countercurrents.org/dungdung211010.htm

The Indian State must understand that the right to education and the police camps in the schools cannot go together. The Indian State has been practicing betrayal tricks (giving rights by one hand and taking away by another mighty hand) with the marginalized people of the country for last six decades. If the Government doesn't stop it, the rapid growth of left-wing extremism cannot be halted


Ayodhya Controversy A Conspiracy  Against Composite Culture,  Take The Issue To The Supreme Court:
Jugal Kishore Shastri
By Syed Mansur Agha

http://www.countercurrents.org/agha211010.htm

Ayodhya is a symbol of India's composite culture, and the people of the town want to live in harmony and peace. The Ayodhya controversy has been created and is being perpetuated by people and forces from outside the town who want to sabotage India's shared tradition and heritage. If these outside forces stop interfering, the issue can be settled at the local level. So insisted the head of a monastery in Ayodhya, editor of the Hindi magazine 'Ayodhya Ki Awaz' and noted social activist and crusader for inter-communal harmony, Jugal Kishore Sharan Shastri, at a press meet recently organized in New Delhi
