Qatar Crisis Cranks Up Pressure On Besieged Gaza
by Hamza Abu Eltarabesh
The Gaza Strip is often seen as a place apart, cut off from the rest of the world and the rest of Palestine by Israel – with the collusion to varying degrees of Egypt – which appears bent on its isolation. But while it is true that the passage of people and goods to and from Gaza is severely restricted, the impact of politics has not been similarly constrained. The latest spat between Qatar and three fellow Gulf Cooperation Council countries – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain – plus Egypt, is a perfect illustration.
Not Just Black or Muslim, ALL Lives Matter!
by Dr Mansoor Durrani
In the aftermath of recent hate crimes against Muslims in the US and Europe and lynching terrorism that the New India has unleashed on its Muslim population, the civil society in support of helpless victims has come up with the slogan Muslim Lives Matter.

This article was originally published in February 2017 and is even more relevant now. This “Pussy hat Project” group has morphed now into something called “The Resistance”, which invites the discredited Democratic Party and right wing liberals under its tent, and is funded by Hillary Clinton and George Soros. At a time when capitalism is in its worse world crisis ever, they never dare to mention the word “capitalism”, let alone “socialism”, despite one of its own members (Bernie Sanders) winning massive support by calling himself a socialist.

by Vasudha Rao
It has been stated, that seven million girls die every decade in India. This is because, many times, the girl is killed in the womb itself .By some luck, if the girl child survives, she is neglected so much ,that she dies in the first five years.Sex ratios in India have been falling in every State, in India, except Kerela& Meghalaya. The discrimination is so rampant, that the second female child in a family is rare.
