Murder Of Palestinian Minister Is Latest Israeli Provocation
By Jean Shaoul

http://www.countercurrents.org/shoul131214.htm

Ziad Abu Ein, Palestinian Authority minister of settlement affairs, was killed by Israeli security forces Wednesday, during a small, peaceful demonstration northeast of Ramallah. Soldiers used tear gas and stun grenades to stop demonstrators reaching Adei Ad, an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. His death brings to 2,625 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since last June, at least 600 of whom were children


Apartheid Israel And Apartheid Australia Violate All Articles
Of UN Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya131214.htm

Apartheid Australia and Apartheid Australia-backed Apartheid Israel have appalling, continuing records of violating the human rights of their Indigenous Peoples through the Australian Aboriginal Genocide and the Palestine Genocide, respectively, and must be held to account by the civilized world through Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) for their genocidal crimes and for currently violating all 46 Articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples


Torture Is “Not Who We Are.” Which “We” is This Guy Talking About?
By Robert Barsocchini

http://www.countercurrents.org/barsocchini131214.htm

If Obama is referring to people living in the US who haven't tortured anyone and who oppose torture (which is the majority and does not include Obama), then he's kind of right, except to the extent that these people are still forced to support torture through having their money stolen from them and used for torture, and having zero influence over state policy


The Guardian And Monbiot versus Forbes And Worstall
By Herman Daly

http://www.countercurrents.org/daly131214.htm

I think the Guardian and Monbiot’s position is not in the least weakened by the criticism from Forbes and Worstall, but that reliance on the Cobb-Douglas production function should certainly be weakened


Eritrea: African Ideological Ebola For Imperialiststs
By Andre Vltchek

http://www.countercurrents.org/vltchek131214.htm

Eritrea belongs to its own people. I have worked in 150 countries of the world, and I never encountered a nation like this. What a beauty she is! And what strength, courage, and resilience she radiates! Inside, in my heart, I felt much richer than when I arrived. If this was, for Western capitalism and imperialism, a virus – political and economic, social Ebola – then I was ready to be infected by it, gladly over and over again!


Race And The State
By James Rothenberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/rothenberg131214.htm

The killing of Blacks by White authorities, or with tacit approval of White authorities, is an old story in the United States. The best thing that can be said is it’s not as bad as it once was. That’s an ounce of justice


This December 24: Merry I.F. Stone Day
By Mickey Z

http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz131214.htm

December 24 is I.F. Stone‘s birthday (he would have been 107). His journalistic example, I’d say, is about as merry a reason as any to celebrate


News Flash! America Sucks
By Tim Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto131214.htm

So this is the "New America". This is the exceptional, indispensable nation that the World cannot live without. I don't know about you, but I sincerely believe that the time has come to either change this rotten- to-the-core-system we live under, or it's time to get the hell out of Dodge. This America sucks. I don't see anything good about it anymore. It stinks like dead fish and the people in the nation are totally brain dead.The rest of the World can see it. Too bad the majority of Americans can't


Like Marx And Ambedkar, One Can Articulate Others’ Sufferings: Badri Narayan
Abhay Kumar Interviews Badri Narayan

http://www.countercurrents.org/akumar131214.htm

Badri Narayan does not have an experience of being a Dalit. His research and writing about Dalit culture and politics have redefined the discipline and inspired young scholars to enter the field. One of his major contributions is to invent new sources for writing history such as folklores, songs, pamphlets, myths, memories, interviews etc. Some of these sources have also been used in his recently-published political biography of the BSP founder Kanshi Ram. At JNU’s Aravali guest house, on November 28, Abhay Kumar converses with social historian and cultural anthropologist Badri Narayan


Of Kissing And Moral Policing
By Dr. Murali Sivaramakrishnan

http://www.countercurrents.org/siva131214.htm

What is there if two willing people get to embrace and kiss in public? Why should it cause offence to the others? And anyway why should the other get involved? Why not learn to turn a blind eye as we often do when we see two animals coupling in public? Is a public kiss that offending? Why this dramatic emergence of a Hanuman Sena all of a sudden?


The wildlife photographer who is a part of the forests and Nature
By Sukumaran C. V

http://www.countercurrents.org/sukumaran131214.htm

N. A. Naseer is a wildlife photographer par excellence. What makes his photographs different from the usual wildlife photography is that he does not visit the forest only for photographing the wildlife. He himself is a part of the forests. His photographs show the serene bond between him and the animals. He has wandered through the forests for years together without camera in hand and has become a part of the forest as the animals, birds, reptiles, butterflies and insects are. Only after being a part of it, he started to photograph the forest and its children. Now he has published a wonderful book in Malayalam titled Kaadine Chennu Thodumbole (When we Touch the Forest)
