Israel's New Loyalty Oath
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman121010.htm

Since inception, Israel's democracy was illusory, but of late it's further eroded. The Cabinet's October 10 adopted Law of Citizenship amendment requires all non-Jews wanting it to pledge loyalty to "the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state," its latest anti-democratic measure. Voting 22 - 8, it evoked protests from Israeli artists, writers and intellectuals in front of Tel Aviv's Independence Hall against "the continuous erosion of Israeli democracy."


The Smell Of Apartheid: Israel's Citizenship Law
By Yacov Ben Efrat

http://www.countercurrents.org/efrat121010.htm

The government has approved the proposal for an amendment to the Citizenship Law, according to which anyone requesting Israeli citizenship will have to declare loyalty to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic" state. This amendment is perceived by many to be an unnecessary provocation against the country's Arab population


Israel's Loyalty Oath: Disciminatory By Design
By The Guardian

http://www.countercurrents.org/guardian121010.htm

The question that lies behind this is why, and why now? Are these the actions of a nation prepared to make a historical compromise, end occupation and live in peace with its neighbourhood? If they are and we are all wildly misinterpreting this, why alienate and incite the very people who could have helped by their example bring a historic settlement about, people who have accepted the existence of Israel, who have never in their history taken up arms against it?


37 Years After The October War
By Salim Nazzal

http://www.countercurrents.org/nazzal121010.htm

In the Arab orient they call it Tichreen war, in Egypt they call it October war, in other parts of the Arab world they call it Ramadan war, in Israel they call Yom Kippur war, in other parts of the world they call it the 1973 war, all these names are to name the war that took place 37 years ago between Arabs and Israel. The question is how to place this war in the Arab history


The Promise Of Fusion: Energy Miracle Or Mirage?
By Alex Salkever

http://www.countercurrents.org/salkever121010.htm

The U.S. has invested billions of dollars trying to create a controlled form of nuclear fusion that could be the energy source for an endless supply of electricity. But as a federal laboratory prepares for a key test, major questions remain about pulling off this long-dreamed-of technological feat


On Climate Models, The Case For
Living With Uncertainty
By Fred Pearce

http://www.countercurrents.org/pearce121010.htm

As climate science advances, predictions about the extent of future warming and its effects are likely to become less — not more — precise. That may make it more difficult to convince the public of the reality of climate change, but it hardly diminishes the urgency of taking action


Soils And Souls: The Promise Of The Land
By Robert Jensen

http://www.countercurrents.org/jensen121010.htm

While evil lurks in many places, it is most concentrated in fossil fuels. Perennial polycultures can deliver us from that evil


China's Pipelineistan "War"
By Pepe Escobar

http://www.countercurrents.org/escobar121010.htm

Future historians may well agree that the twenty-first century Silk Road first opened for business on December 14, 2009. That was the day a crucial stretch of pipeline officially went into operation linking the fabulously energy-rich state of Turkmenistan (via Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan) to Xinjiang Province in China's far west

The True Ken O'Keefe

"Our greatest responsibility is to hand over a better world to all children, and the 800,000 children in Gaza, are my children. I would rather die in pursuit of justice than back down. How can anyone accept the unacceptable!"


Currency War: To Be or Not To Be
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury121010.htm

It is now currency theatre. Exchange rates are policy weapon. A currency war is raging. The war is still to rage. Opinions differ

The Ayodhya Verdict: Beyond The Liberal
Brahmanic Framework
By Feroze Mithiborwala

http://www.countercurrents.org/mithiborwala121010.htm

The Ayodhya Verdict was a judicial demolition and justification of the destruction of the Babri Masjid. The verdict is basically a mockery and stands in utter contempt of the Indian constitution, as was the demolition. The verdict is an affront to the very vision of an India that is rooted in it's secular and plural values. The judgment has set an unprecedented precedent by giving precedence to belief or aastha over law. A civil title suit was reduced to a theological verdict. This is the process whereby the Brahmanic Manusmriti increasingly gains precedence over the Ambedkarite Constitution
