THE LONG MARCH OF FOLLY THAT BEGAN IN 1967
Gaza war changes Middle East equation at Israel's expense
by Alain Gresh
The European Union's policy of funding Gaza's development is
just one casualty of Israel's unprecedented attack, which has
weakened the Palestinian Authority but left Hamas politically
stronger than ever
Translated by George Miller

Reasons for war: lies, lies and more lies *
by Dominique Vidal
Israel's real motive for the 27 December attack on Gaza was
to ensure that the creation of a Palestinian state would
become practically impossible. A post-war check list
Translated by Robert Waterhouse
Israel-Palestine: time for conflict management *
by Tom Segev
Although both Israelis and Palestinians accepted a two-state
solution, the Oslo accords failed to work. Was their claim to
permanent peace unrealistic? Perhaps the conflict might be
resolved more easily step by step, especially as the rise of
fundamentalists on both sides has made control of land a part
of faith

IMAGINED AFFINITIES, IMAGINED ENMITIES
The strange tale of Iran and Israel
by Alastair Crooke
The early Zionists never believed they would be accepted in
the Arab world and pinned their hopes on the non-Arab
periphery instead, particularly Iran. Israel reversed that
policy by opening talks with a weakened Arafat in the early
1990s. But peace with the Palestinians did not happen and the
`radicals' grew more radical

UNITED STATES: GOODBYE BUSH, HELLO OBAMA
Epitaph to George Bush *
by Ibrahim Warde
The failure of George Bush's foreign policy was clear from
the start. Meanwhile, his repeated failures in economic
policy led to the economic recession in which his presidency
ended
Translated by the author
Chicago union struggle pays off *
by Peter Dreier
If anyone doubts there is a new mood of change since Barack
Obama was elected president, they should ask the factory
workers at Republic Windows & Doors in Chicago. Their action,
and the support they received from Obama, suggests the White
House will no longer be the automatic enemy of trade unions

RUSSIA, UKRAINE AND THE COMPLEX POLITICS OF NATURAL GAS PIPELINES
An Opec for gas?
by Rafael Kandiyoti
Russia and Ukraine fell out over the price of gas, and people
in eastern Europe suffered the consequences. But the dispute
affects countries further down the pipeline - particularly in
Europe, which seems unable to formulate its gas consumption
policy

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION FIFTY YEARS ON
Castro's socialism in crisis *
by Janette Habel
Fidel Castro formally handed over power to his brother Raul
last year. In the dog days of the revolution the old social
equality has slipped, there is a gap between the generations
and the young do not care about politics. Can Raul introduce
economic reform and through it perpetuate the system?
Translated by Robert Waterhouse
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE VERSUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Insurgency in Assam *
by Mark Hilliard
Explosions ripped through Assam last October, killing 64 and
injuring hundreds. Conflict has grown between indigenous
people and immigrants from Bangladesh, leading to the rise of
separatist groups and armed insurgents fighting various
causes against various enemies

ONDA ANOMALA SAYS WE WON'T PAY FOR YOUR CRISIS
Student protests sweep Italy *
by Serge Quadruppani
The uprising of university students against the Italian
government's swingeing cuts in higher education has had some
effect, but the protests are set to continue
Translated by George Miller
AS THE US PONDERS DOUBLING ITS TROOPS, THE TALIBAN RULES AGAIN
Afghanistan: chaos central
by Chris Sands
A correspondent looks back at the deterioration across the
country over the past three years: the resurgence of both the
Taliban and the old corrupt elites, the failure of the
occupation forces, and the worsening conditions of life for
everybody else

BEST-SELLING TRUTHS ABOUT FRENCH POLITICS
Decoding Sarkozy *
by Christopher Bickerton
Alain Badiou's book on Sarkozy reveals the philosopher's own
advocacy of change based in reality, which is beginning to
displace the old `new philosophy' of Bernard-Henri Lévy et al
