Binoy Kampmark: Ignoring A Leopard’s Spots - The UK, Syria And Courting Dictators

In an echo of history, the current UK government has found a new man of transactional worth in Damascus. The great usurper, Jolani, has taken Bashar’s place. His Al Qaeda and Islamic State past is being strategically sanitised, the revolutionary made good and useful.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Neuroscience’s Misleading Half-Truths

Diversity arises from wholeness, not from particularity. The notion that life can be reduced to its “basic building blocks” is a fundamental philosophical mistake of many scientists, who project the basic premise of thought—separation—onto the seamless wholeness of nature.

Ramzy Baroud: Fighting Israel’s War In Jenin - Can The Palestinian Authority Be Saved?

The latest operation in Jenin is a clear manifestation of how Israel uses the PA to carry out its dirty work. The Jenin refugee camp, an area of less than half a square kilometer, has always been a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

Richard S. Ehrlich: Pulverized By Asia's Tsunami

The tsunami killed more than 5,400 people, about half of them foreigners, on the morning after Christmas in Thailand on Dec. 26, 2004. More than 225,000 people perished worldwide from the waves, which slammed more than a dozen countries. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives, and Thailand suffered the most.
