Kashmir: Act Before Foreign Forces Land In Srinagar
By Zafarul-Islam Khan

http://www.countercurrents.org/islamkhan020810.htm

A prolonged protest, wanton wholesale murder of the civilians and children by the security forces and collapse of the dummy civilian government will be enough to pass a resolution in the UN to authorise foreign military intervention and the small men in Delhi will not be able to prevent such forces from landing in Srinagar. The Valley today is a Kosovo-in-waiting. Act now before it is too late


Kashmir: Through History
By Naveed Qazi

http://www.countercurrents.org/qazi020810.htm

Bookstalls give me a feeling of disgust. People from every conflict zone have written their stories but there is lack of profoundity in our own telling because no one has passionately written about it. As a Kashmiri, it is a pain for me, as much as an absence of a beloved. People have to write and speak about it because it is a gut wrenching tale waiting to be told

Why Was I born? Why Are We Here?
By Katherine Smith

http://www.countercurrents.org/smith020810.htm

Until the Crusades the "bobbleheads" thinking was predominantly Pagan, that is the inhabitants believed they were only a small part of the whole circle of life and that each part of creation played a significant role in the contentment and survival of the other. All of that changed beginning in 1096 when Christianity decreed that man was now the greatest and most important part of creation and culminated in August 26, 1789 with "The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen"

Israel Has Crept Into The EU Without Anyone Noticing
By Robert Fisk

http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk020810.htm

The death of five Israeli servicemen in a helicopter crash in Romania this week raised scarcely a headline. There was a Nato-Israeli exercise in progress. Well, that's OK then. Now imagine the death of five Hamas fighters in a helicopter crash in Romania this week

Gentile Babies
By Jonathan Cook

Making Gaza A 'European Ghetto'
By Lamis Andoni

http://www.countercurrents.org/andoni020810.htm

While most Israeli leaders are resistant to fully lifting the blockade of Gaza, Avigdor Lieberman, the right-wing foreign minister, is advocating that Israel abandon the Strip to international monitoring and economic rehabilitation. If implemented, it will permanently sever the Gaza Strip from the West Bank, transforming the Strip into an internationally supervised ghetto - with the dual purpose of ensuring Israeli security and reigning in the Palestinian population
