Discussion on the recent events in Tunisia can be heard in the streets of the Egyptian capital Cairo.

The Tunisian People And Beyond?
By Dyab Abou Jahjah

http://www.countercurrents.org/jahjah150111.htm

The effect of this is even being felt on the streets of Algeria where thousands of youth, who were copying the demands of "the Tunisian Intifada" as people are calling it now, clashed with police. Across the Arab world, peoples are experiencing hope, and the regimes are afraid: all the Arab people and all the Arab regimes

On The Geopolitical Chessboard
By Jack A. Smith

http://www.countercurrents.org/smith150111.htm

The world's four main emerging economic powers, known by the acronym BRIC — standing for Brazil, Russia, India and China — now refer to themselves as BRICS. The capital "S" in BRICS stands for South Africa, which formally joined the four on Dec. 24, bringing Africa into this important organization of rising global powers from Asia, Latin America and Europe. President Jacob Zuma is expected to attend the BRICS April meeting in Beijing as a full member


If Bishop Desmond Tutu Is An Anti-Semite
What Hope For The Rest Of Us?
By Imran Garda

http://www.countercurrents.org/garda150111.htm

When the head of the South African Zionist Federation, David Hersch, initiates an online petition against "The Arch", demanding he be removed as patron of the Holocaust memorial centres in Cape Town and Johannesburg for his "anti-Israel behaviour" and labels his criticism of the policies, (yes, policies) of the state of Israel "morally repugnant" based on "horrific and grotesquely false accusation against the Jewish people", it's pertinent to provide a brief reminder to Hersch, and anyone who might be swayed, of the man's credentials

Netanyahu's Government: Israel's Worst Ever
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman150111A.htm

They, Palestinians, and all exploited people deserve better, but wishing won't make it so. Bare-knuckled activism is needed, restoring democratic values Israel won't tolerate, at the same time exposing its lawlessness and status as a world class terror state, preying on vulnerable Arabs on false national security grounds


The Great Food Crisis Of 2011
By Lester R. Brown

http://www.countercurrents.org/brown150111.htm

The current surge in world grain and soybean prices, and in food prices more broadly, is not a temporary phenomenon. We can no longer expect that things will soon return to normal, because in a world with a rapidly changing climate system there is no norm to return to


CEN, Climate Change, Queensland Floods:
Stop Burning Fossil Fuels ASAP
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya150111.htm

Because of weather variability cannot attribute any specific weather event to climate change. However the successive events of burning fossil fuels, increased atmospheric greenhouse gases, increased sea temperature, increased evaporation, increased precipitation and floods simply mean stop burning fossil fuels ASAP as urged by the Climate Emergency Network (CEN)

By Habib Siddiqui

http://www.countercurrents.org/siddiqui150111.htm

The sad fact is unless American public is serious about reining in its addiction to gun, war and violence, the horror prompted by the attack in Tucson last week will pass, the outrage will fade, and the murders will continue. It'll be all over again with new targets, and new Columbine and new Tucson killing fields!


America Replicating Japan
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman150111B.htm

"What's the difference between General Motors and California," or Chicago, New York or Los Angeles? Unlike GM, they haven't gone bankrupt so far, nor have they defaulted on their pension obligations. Given today's crisis, with troubled communities across America faltering, anything is possible anywhere anytime
