An Appeal from Sakineh Ashtiani's Son: ''Our mother is innocent''
By Sajad Ghaderzadeh

Our mother is innocent and should be released unconditionally.
I ask the eight industrial countries and the governments of Turkey and Brazil and the entire world to continue the pressure against the Islamic Republic and don’t assume that the case is resolved. (Full Story)

The Doomsday Weapon
By Uri Avnery

IT IS already a commonplace to say that people who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Some 1942 years ago, the Jews in the province called Palaestina launched a revolt against the Roman Empire. In retrospect, this looks like an act of madness. Palestine was a small and insignificant part of the world-wide empire which had just won a crushing victory against the rival power – the Parthian Empire (Persia) – and put down a major rebellion in Britain. What chances could the Jewish revolt have?

Liberties and the constitution in Sri Lanka. Its implications in the region
By Richard Tremblay, choregrapher, Montreal
In one of its latest judgments, the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, an island situated at the southern tip of India, has granted an additional year to its president's term, following the 26 January 2010 presidential election in the country where outgoing President Mahinda Rajapaksa was re-elected. Given its nature, the piece of news would normally fall as a tile on the head of ordinary citizens waking up one day to learn that their President or their Prime Minister was granted one additional year to the term for which he was elected.

Israel and the "A" Word
By Stephen Scheinberg, contributor
In the course of a debate, down here in Florida, I carefully used the “A” word. I was speaking about the future of Israel and the Palestinians and presented four possible scenarios, arguing that if Israel remained on its present course, not giving the Palestinians their own state or the vote, it would become an “apartheid-like” society.

Belleville is a small city in southern Ontario with a high rate of unemployment.

AIPAC does not speak for most American Jews
By Stephen Scheinberg, contributor
The recent mini-crisis in U.S. Israel relations is probably, given the needs of both parties, going to fade from the headlines but behind the scenes the issues will still fester. It was shameful that right wing lobbyists for Israel in the United States, ignored the main points in contention. AIPAC, the largest and wealthiest such lobby, viewed the announcement of 1600 new housing units in East Jerusalem, as only a “bureaucratic error” and stuck to their tired line that the United States and Israel have identical interests. It was the Obama administration that they faulted, for allowing the unfortunately timed announcement to create a rift between the two nations. (Full Story)
