Prospects for Peace and Palestine
Naseer Aruri
The Oslo Accord between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization was signed in Washington on September 13, 1993. The gala event, featuring Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, generated much media fanfare. The New York Times called it “the handshake that shook the world.” Now that the euphoria has subsided, it is clear […]
Workers & the Challenge of Globalization
Dana Frank
Globalization poses acute challenges for workers. While corporations go transnational, workers remain national. In a race to find cheap labor, businesses move to Third World countries. Unions are largely defenseless in the new economic order. Along with a decline in membership has come an erosion in the standard of living for most workers, whose real […]

Blue Grit
Laura Flanders
Something is really rotten in Denmark when Bush invokes the name of Truman. Truman and his four-time elected predecessor, FDR spoke more to the common man than the Rockefellers and Morgans. However, over the decades, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. The Democrats, perhaps seeking to out Republican the Republicans, drifted […]
Poverty and Human Rights
Irene Khan
The problem of the world’s poor is at its core a human rights issue. The worldwide economic downturn is working its way through every level of the global economy. Many people in the industrialized West are experiencing its negative effects with loss of jobs, savings, and homes. But the recession’s impact on people in the […]

The Political Economy of Policing
Ruth Wilson Gilmore
At nearly two million Americans behind bars and counting, the United States leads the world in imprisoning its own population. Along with record levels of incarceration, there has been a boom in prison construction. An extensive prison-industrial complex is now an integral part of the economy. Private companies use prison labor to enhance their profits. […]
Iraq: Eyewitness to War
Kathy Kelly
US diplomacy has evolved into, “You do what we say, or else.” Gung-ho machismo is the order of the day. Bush intones, “Bring ’em on.” And “There will be no retreat.” The president announces that by invading and occupying Iraq the world is safer. Can anyone believe this? Sure. If you only watch corporate TV […]
Faithful Peacemaking in a War-Making State
Daniel Berrigan
Berrigan outlines a grammar of dissent and calls for an ethical housecleaning of the “Just War” theory. Just War is invoked to give a moral and juridical guise to a war one intends to wage for reasons different than stated. When this happens, “We are called to be conscientious objectors to war,” and “put the […]
Houshamadyan: Armenian Memory Books
Khatchig Mouradian
April 24th marks the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I grew up in the 1950s in New York in the shadow of that tragedy. I was surrounded by survivors named Garabedian, Giragosian, Hagopian and others who always spoke fondly of “yergeer,” the country they were forced to abandon. My mother, Araxie, was from Dubneh, […]
Double Standards: U.S. Middle East Policy
Rami Khouri
The dictionary defines a double standard as a rule or principle applied more strictly to some than to others. Double standards are seen as unjust because they violate fairness, that everyone is equal before the law. When this basic principle is violated, it creates anger and resentment. U.S. policy in the Middle East has long […]
