  • People's Power: Occupy Wall Street movementThe Canadian Charger
    October 23, 2011

    In the United States - the world's lone superpower and a beacon of hope for many the world over - 14 million people are officially unemployed and two million of those have given up looking for a job. And that's the tip of the iceberg: half a million people are homeless; nearly 50 million people are without health insurance; and 46 million Americans live below the poverty rate, yet banks and large corporations received billion dollar bailouts from taxpayers' hard-earned money and bank executives never stopped receiving million dollar bonuses, on top of their seven figure incomes.

  • Canada's Broadbent on democratic developmentThe Canadian Charger
    October 23, 2011

    Ed Broadbent expressed disappointment in Barack Obama when he spoke at Ottawa's First Unitarian Congregation on September 27. "You don't compromise before you even take your position," he said. "He is decent and thoughtful, but he isn't the politician that Bill Clinton was." Broadbent was especially critical of Obama's failure to act firmly on the issue of Israeli settlements.

    October is Domestic Violence Month. Hardly anyone advocates such violence, but what is to be done about it?

  • This bizarre plot goes against all that is known of Iran's intelligence servicePatrick Cockburn
    October 23, 2011

    The claim that Iran employed a used-car salesman with a conviction for cheque fraud to hire Mexican gangsters to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington goes against all that is known of Iran's highly sophisticated intelligence service.

  • What is the endgame of the alleged Iran plot?Stephen M. Walt
    October 23, 2011

    It looks like the Administration is making a concerted campaign to ratchet up the pressure on Tehran. President Obama is standing firmly behind the administration's allegations, but without offering any new evidence to support them. This approach isn't going to wash, however, especially if journalists do their job, start asking a lot of probing questions, and don't allow themselves to get spun by "anonymous" sources and inside leaks.

  • A Palestinian state - reality or mirage?Bhupinder S. Liddar
    October 23, 2011

    "What wrong have these people done not to have a Palestinian passport - one of their country of birth, but are carrying passports of different countries?" the late Yasser Arafat asked Heath MacQuarrie and me, pointing to a room full of people next door.

  • Palestinians should vote in Jerusalem elections Avraham Burg
    October 23, 2011

    It was depressing to see American President Barack Obama's weak appearance at the United Nations. It was depressing to see this talented man, who brought such great hope to the world, presenting the pitiable position of a feeble empire. It was embarrassing to see him defending positions and people whom only a few months earlier he had attacked with fury. His obsequiousness is shameful, and this weakness is a real danger to the world. Therefore anyone who wants peace cannot make do merely with accusing Obama. One cannot allow his desperation to have veto power over our hope.

  • Israel's image on campusAli Abunimah

    On Thursday, July 7th, 2005, the city of London, England was closed down after explosions on three subway cars and a bus. The blasts killed 56 people and injured hundreds; the country was traumatized.

  • A sad day in the life of Egypt's revolution Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
    October 23, 2011

    A revolution releases latent forces within a people. Scholars differ over what is the essence of the French Revolution, disagree about how long it lasted, debate its results and even discuss when it began. But they all agree that what began in 1789 was bloody but very important.
