By Jeffrey Rudolph

http://www.countercurrents.org/rudolph280910.htm

Former prime minister of Israel Yitzhak Shamir said in an interview in 1992 "I would have carried on autonomy talks for ten years and meanwhile we would have reached half a million people in Judea and Samaria".

By Stephen Lendman

Venezuelans now and ahead have a choice. They can go back to the bad old days or "vot(e) for the greater good" and keep their hard won social gains.

Languages Of A Security State
By Nawaz Gul Qanungo

http://www.countercurrents.org/qanungo280910.htm

The language of most of the Indian media in covering Kashmir has not just been ill-informed but even insensitive. That, however, should not be a surprise when Maoists have long been branded and dismissed as a "menace". That the so-called security of the state is what often dictates this language is a given, but the security of what's been called the idea of India hence, ironically, stands at risk
