Noisily perching upon hilltops, rooms with a view, or flourishing in verdant valleys, these settlements creep shamefully throughout the West Bank and the sacred city Jerusalem, East, West North South; The City of Peace

How 'Foreign' Is The Anti-Nuclear Movement In India?
 By P K Sundaram

http://www.countercurrents.org/sundaram290212.htm

The anti-nuclear movement today is a pointer to the huge crisis that India and the world is facing. It's a call from beyond the profit-driven political-economy that is destroying people, nature and the entire fabric of our society. It is time we hear these urgent voices, coming from a space that belongs to us, that we have left behind our greed, that should be our future if we have to sustain. Our future lies in this other India that we have dangerously made 'foreign' to our consciousness today

Action Alert

1. Express Your Solidarity With Theresa Cusimano

http://www.countercurrents.org/theresa290212.htm

Our friend Theresa Cusimano is serving a six month prison sentence in an Alabama county jail, for crossing the line onto Fort Benning, Georgia, to speak out against unjust U.S. foreign policy and the continued existence of the School of the Americas (SOA/ WHINSEC). Would you be able to send her a letter, to let her know that she is not alone, and that we are keeping up the resistance on the outside while she is incarcerated? Thank you! Theresa needs to feel our support right now

2. I'm Sorry to inform you that I accidently deleted an important action alert on rampant killings of elephants in Cameroon. Kindly send it to me again.
