Better late than never, a very senior Palestinian official in Ramallah, Yasser Abed Rabbo, found the right way to challenge Israel and the U.S. As reported by AFP on 13 October, he said, "We officially demand that the US administration and the Israeli government provide a map of the borders of the state of Israel which they want us to recognise." That's a completely logical and totally reasonable demand

The Politics Of Hunger
By Sadanand Patwardhan

http://www.countercurrents.org/patwardhan191010.htm

About a billion people or 1/6th of humanity goes to sleep hungry each day. Most assume it is because not enough food is there to go around. Though this may become true in future unless we have an urgent course correction, at the moment this abomination is the result of lack of access to food, not its absence

Never in the recent political history of Kashmir perhaps was a grave dug out so fast and filled up so quickly by anyone as Omar Abdullah has done for himself. Under eternal abhorrence of Kashmir's men, women and children alike, he lies buried today. But, truth be told, New Delhi's man he is after all; to them he isn't quite a No One. In the process, however, New Delhi stands predetermined in dismissing the utility of, and concern for, people's voice in Kashmir for a long, long time to come
