Israeli Palestinian Talks: Designed for Peace or for Public Relations?

Israeli Palestinian Talks: Designed for Peace or for Public Relations?

The mainstream media has described the latest Israeli Palestinian “peace talks” currently being hosted by the White House as a breakthrough in the “Middle East peace process.” Is it really a breakthrough? Is there really a peace process? Or is it designed to create a public impression that the US is seriously interested in bringing peace to the region? Such questions are raised because such meetings and talks have been held many times during the past decades but the condition of the Palestinian people has constantly deteriorated. All forms of contact between Israelis and Palestinian...

KASHMIR  BLEEDS  AGAIN

KASHMIR BLEEDS AGAIN

The International Movement for a Just World (JUST) views with grave concern the escalating violence in Indian controlled Kashmir. The violence has already claimed 40 lives. The majority were killed by police fire. Many of the victims are teenagers. In fact, the present outbreak of violence can be traced back to the killing of a 17 year-old student by a police tear gas shell on the 11th of June 2010. The incident led to mass protests which have continued unabated for the last two months. Analysts have pointed out that the protests are the spontaneous reaction of a segment of the Kashmir...

Power Play In East Asia

Power Play In East Asia

Two recent developments in East Asia --- one in Northeast Asia and the other in Southeast Asia--- have brought to the fore some of the latent tensions in the region. It was the sinking of a South Korean warship, the Cheonan, by a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine in late March this year that escalated tensions in North East Asia. The dastardly North Korean attack, verified by a multi-national investigation in May, killed 46 sailors. The recently concluded US-South Korean military exercise that included a massive nuclear powered US supercarrie...

WIDENING INCOME INEQUALITY: A CHALLENGE TO 1MALAYSIA
Written by Dr. Chandra Muzaffar   
Posted: 10 August 2010 11:50

Widening income inequality is a major obstacle to the unity and solidarity that 1Malaysia envisions.

Since Merdeka(Independence) in 1957, the top 20% of income earners in Malaysia have benefited much more from economic growth than the bottom 40%. It is significant that the report of the National Economic Advisory Council (NEAC) on the New Economic Model (NEM) admits that, “ The bottom 40% of households have experienced the slowest growth of average income, earning less than RM 1,500 per month in 2008.”  The wage trend in Malaysia recorded only an annual 2.6% growth during the past 10 years, compared to the escalating cost of living during the same period.
