Verifiable accounts of the fighting are scarce, because Israel continues to refuse access to foreign journalists even after its Supreme Court issued a ruling that allowed a limited number into Gaza Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:56:13 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/avnery050109.htm <strong> By Uri Avnery</strong><br>This war is a writing on the wall: Israel is missing the historic chance of making peace with secular Arab nationalism. Tomorrow, It may be faced with a uniformly fundamentalist Arab world, Hamas multiplied by a thousand Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:55:40 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/habeeb050109.htm <strong>By Sameh A.

They dont have any place to go and are staying close to their homes, expecting that the worse has yet to come. However, they are saying that they will remain steadfast in their homeland and neighborhood and homes, even if Israel destroys Gaza completely Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:53:34 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/laila050109.htm <strong> By Laila El-Haddad</strong><br>Live Free or Die. The motto of the State of New Hampshire, probably one that few Americans are familiar with, has never rung truer. And how similar it is to the feeling of ordinary Palestinians in the Gaza Strip now, trying merely to survive day to day, longing for a life free of Israeli occupation and terror Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:52:53 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/balousha050109.htm <strong>By Samira Tawfiq Said Balousha </strong><br>Samira Tawfiq Said Balousha, 36, married with nine children, is a homemaker and a resident of Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

Would an assault of the sort we have seen against Gaza even be contemplated?

Or perhaps more accurately, in a perversion of the Golden Rule, the western world looks the other way when the nation of Israel does unto others as others have done unto them Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:48:52 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/goodchild050109.htm <strong> By Peter Goodchild</strong><br>Around the beginning of the twenty-first century, there began a clash of two gigantic forces: overpopulation and oil depletion. The event went unnoticed by all but a few people, but it was quite real. As a result of that clash, the number of human beings on Earth must one day decline in order to match the decline in oil production Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:48:06 +05-45 http://www.countercurrents.org/bairwal050109.htm <strong>By Anil Bairwal </strong><br>A recent news from America wasnt discussed in Indian media as much as several others emanating from there. An in-office Governor, Rod Blagojevich from the state of Illinois was arrested and put into jail on Dec 9 this year - one of the charges was scheming to sell a vacant senate seat. The Governor is still in jail. Let us contrast this with what is happening here at home Mon, 5 Jan 2009 23:47:16 +05-45
