By Vilani Peiris

http://www.countercurrents.org/peiris170810.htm

The flood disaster in Pakistan is worsening with 20 million people or 12 percent of the population affected, according to the latest government estimates


Pakistan Flood: From Natural Disaster
To Social Catastrophe
By Snehal Shingavi

http://www.countercurrents.org/shingavi170810.htm

Snehal Shingavi looks at the political and social factors that have magnified the impact of Pakistan's catastrophic flooding


Eden Abergil, The Product Of A Blindfolded Society
By Max Blumenthal

http://www.countercurrents.org/blumenthal170810.htm

Is there anything shocking about the Facebook photos showing the Israeli female soldier Eden Abergil posing in mocking positions next to bound and blindfolded Palestinian men? While her conduct was abominable, I did not find it especially distinct from the documented behavior of Israeli soldiers and Border Police in the Occupied Territories


Bedouin Village Razed For Fourth Time
By Ma'an news

 http://www.countercurrents.org/maan170810.htm

Israeli authorities on Tuesday demolished an unrecognized Bedouin village for the fourth time, Israeli media reported. The Al-Araqib village was razed two weeks ago for the third time, after residents rebuilt dwellings demolished to make way for a Jewish National Fund park


Gaza's Record-Breaking Children
By Vittorio Arrigoni

http://www.countercurrents.org/arrigoni170810.htm

On the beach of Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza near the boundary with Israel, the sky was adorned by thousands of multicolored hexagons, a vivid metaphor of the freedom craved by Gaza's youngest citizens. More than seven thousand children flew their kites, doubling last year's official record


Christian Zionism: The Root Of All Evil?
By Tammy Obeidallah

http://www.countercurrents.org/obeidallah170810.htm

By stripping biblical passages out of their proper context and ignoring historical perspective, Christian Zionist leaders have convinced the masses that Jesus Christ will return when all Jews are gathered in Palestine, even if it means the systemic destruction of the Palestinian people


25,000 Jews Live In Iran
By Mike Whitney

http://www.countercurrents.org/whitney170810.htm

25,000 Jews live in Iran. It's the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. Iranian Jews are not persecuted or abused by the state, in fact, they are protected under Iran's constitution



No Room For Arab Students At Israeli Universities
By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook170810.htm

Measures designed to benefit Jewish school-leavers applying for places in Israeli higher education at the cost of their Arab counterparts have been criticised by lawyers and human rights groups


The United Nations, Impunity And War
By Fidel Castro

http://www.countercurrents.org/castro170810.htm

The so-called world government met in Barcelona. Did anyone know of it?


Lowering The Flag On The American Century
By Chalmers Johnson

http://www.countercurrents.org/johnson170810.htm

What harm would befall the United States if we actually decided, against all odds, to close those hundreds and hundreds of bases, large and small, that we garrison around the world? What if we actually dismantled our empire, and came home? Would Genghis Khan-like hordes descend on us? Not likely. Neither a land nor a sea invasion of the U.S. is even conceivable


Despite A Normal Day, Two More Die In Kashmir
By Sheikh Imran Bashir

http://www.countercurrents.org/bashir170810.htm

A man hurt in a clash with security forces succumbed to his injuries here Tuesday, while a cyclist died after being knocked down by a paramilitary vehicle trying to escape a stone-pelting mob, taking the toll in the ongoing unrest in the Kashmir Valley to 61


Shoe Thrower Ahad Jan Released
By Agence India Press

http://www.countercurrents.org/aip170810.htm

Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir Omar Abdullah says he has forgiven a police Head Constable who threw a shoe at him on Independence Day and has ordered his release


Hearken To The Vale
By Mehran Qureshi

http://www.countercurrents.org/qureshi170810.htm

With nothing but stones in hand, people of Kashmir, including women and kids, come out to streets, to shatter the glass facades of criminal silence and neglect on part of civil societies and international community. Ironically, our spectacle does not have an audience. The pretentiousness of democracy becomes all more evident. Should we conclude that the world is dead?


Uncovering The Lies That Are Sinking the Oil
By Dahr Jamail & Erika Blumenfeld

http://www.countercurrents.org/jamail170810.htm

The rampant use of toxic dispersants, out-of-state private contractors being brought in to spray them and US Coast Guard complicity are common stories now in the four states most affected by BP's Gulf of Mexico oil disaster


Gender-Based Violence In Haiti
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman170810.htm

Despite Haiti's obligations under international law and its Constitution, authorities have fallen far short, failing to confront issues as vital as gender-based violence, turning a blind eye to a pressing problem, leaving poor women and girls vulnerable to the worst kind of abuse, doing little to address or halt it, and virtually nothing for victims or survivors, often blaming them, not their violators


Thoughts On Ramadhan In North America
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui

http://www.countercurrents.org/siddiqui170810.htm

Xenophobia has no place in any society that takes pride in its civilization – which owes so much to its immigrants, openness and religious tolerance. Let this Ramadhan be an eye-opener to all those caught in the middle to see the beauty of Islam. Efforts to demonize Islam will never succeed. American Muslims will not allow the promoters of hatred to use them as political pawns


GMO Crop Sabotage On The Rise:
French Citizens Destroy Trial Vineyard
By Rady Ananda

http://www.countercurrents.org/ananda170810.htm

Early Sunday morning, French police stood helpless as sixty people, locked inside an open-air field of genetically modified grapevines, uprooted all the plants. In Spain last month, dozens of people destroyed two GMO fields. On the millennial cusp, Indian farmers burned Bt cotton in their Cremate Monsanto campaign. Ignored by multinational corporations and corrupt public policy makers, citizens act to protect the food supply and the planet


A Permanent Housing Collapse?
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke170810.htm

The recent chaos that erupted when 30,000 people waited hours in the Atlanta, Georgia heat to receive applications for subsidized housing is a mere symptom of a worsening national problem. The housing market appears to be on a never-ending downward spiral, with the much-discussed "recovery" always around the next corner


American Propaganda
By Timothy V. Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto170810.htm

The majority of Americans are decent, hard-working people, but they are none the less… stooges. They have been indoctrinated from birth to believe in a set of core values that are designed to keep them subservient and docile. They are the victims of propaganda that emanates from the government and the corporate media, designed to lead them to believe that we are "defending democracy" even though we have no real democracy of our own

(And The People Belong To This Country)
By Reyaz-ul-Haque

http://www.countercurrents.org/reyaz170810.htm

We know very well Mr. Chidambaram that you will never apologize for the atrocities committed at your behest. This brutal army represents the real face of your government


Corruption Grips India
By MuraleeDharan Raghavan

http://www.countercurrents.org/rmuralee170810.htm

The nation has not got any compensation from many scams fodder, Harshad Mehta and Ketan Parek scams, UTI scam, judges Provident Fund scandal, Koda scam, IPL cricket scandal, amassing of wealth by UP politicians and many others and now the Commonwealth Games' scam. The country needs to frame its financial rules and introduce auditing even before the money is spent
