We never can tell from where our biggest challenges might evolve.

(CLEVELAND) - It began as a tiny scratch from her the family’s fish tank five years ago.

The Potential Origin of Genocide in Today`s World

The rights of ALL citizens of any country must be equal if ALL citizens are expected to fully support that government.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The following quote gives us a strong hint of exactly what is behind the problems in Sri Lanka or for that matter, much of the rest of the world:

Prosperity, Dreams and Human Costs

Prosperity, Dreams and Ideals.

(NEW DELHI) - The word prosperity most frequently refers to increase in material wealth. Not so often, it refers in a wider sense to all round development of individuals and society, with justice and social equity being the corner stone.

There is perhaps no society, past or present, in which all sections of people have become prosperous, especially in the latter sense.

The Toxic Chinese Drywall Controversy

It is estimated that between 60,000 and 100,000 homes and commercial properties across the United States were made from this material.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - I first became aware of the problem of toxic drywall manufactured in China during my 2010 visit to New Orleans. Many homeowners rebuilt their homes after Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, and Hurricane Rita in September 2005 using Chinese drywall.

This drywall made occupants sick, corroded metal fixtures, and rendered homes unfit to live in. Homeowners had to tear out the drywall, corroded wiring, fixtures, etc.

Trade Not Aid Convoy to Gaza - Aloha Palestine - Samouni Project

After five years of an illegal and brutal blockade of Gaza, a plan is finally announced to replace aid with trade.

(LONDON) - Many Salem-News.com readers are already familiar with the efforts to aid the Samouni family of Gaza; one that was heavily targeted during Israel's 'Cast Lead' attack over the winter of 2008 and 2009.

The Samouni clan is the focus but they are only one family in Gaza where 1-7 million human beings live in an open air prison surrounded by walls and fences and an Israeli patrolled sea.

Palestine, Israel and America: the Strategic Void

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, le"  
-- Sun Tzu (The Art of War, Special Edition) 

(JACKSON, Miss.) - Let us admit it to ourselves, once and for all. The battle of Palestine for the Palestinians has been lost. The odds against them and their scattered network of supporters have been great.

The last possible chance to at least stave off defeat was stillborn last year, when the Goldstone Report on Gaza was endorsed by the UN Human Rights Commission and the UN General Assembly, and then -- simply stopped.

New York Times article on OxyContin being `harder to abuse` leaves big questions

Were the NY Times staff aware that Purdue Pharma had a patent to make OxyContin non abusive at the launch of the drug?

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - On June 16, the "New York Times" published a story regarding OxyContin being harder to abuse -- but users "persevere."

The Battle Lines are Drawn

The apartheid regime continues to hold thousands of Palestinian political prisoners and continues to deny basic human rights.

What`s the Real Scoop on `Antisemitism`? Is it Hatred or Self-Flattery?

Are humanitarian writers simply hiding a hatred of people over their religion?

(SALEM, Ore.) - It occurs to me that the endless false accusations of 'antisemitism' that Zionists lob on news agencies like ours with the guts to speak openly about Israel's terrible abuse of non-Jews in Palestine, is really in many ways a form of self-flattery.

It takes a lot of gall to suggest that an objection to war crimes, is actually a hidden 'hatred of Jews' but this is the endless accusation.

Military Women: Third Class Citizens?

“Le droit du seigneur” seems to be right at home in the U.S. Military.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This article is a direct response to an article in the New York Times June 3, 2011 titled WHEN STATES PUNISH WOMEN which was about the Congressional block of appropriation of money for PLANNED PARENTHOOD. I nearly threw up when I read this.
