The Strategy Behind Israel’s Attack on Iran and HizballahIsrael appears to prefer that the Syrian army, Hizballah and Iran remain trapped in an endless struggle against the opposition – whatever their hue – that saps their resources and military strength, leaving Israel to control the playing field. Hizballah, by contrast, has every reason to want to cement its position in southern Syria. Sunni opposition forces now control both the border with the Golan Heights, giving them access to Israel, and with south Lebanon, home to much of Lebanon’s Shia majority and Hizballah’s heartland.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40782.htm
Syria’s President Speaks: “The War Will End with a Political Solution” We refer to “the West’s quiet retreat from its demands that Syria’s president step down immediately.” Given this shift in the Western attitude, is Assad more open to a negotiated solution to the conflict that leads to a political transition?http://www.foreignaffairs.com/discussions/interviews/syrias-president-speaks

US a dangerous ally: Former Australia PM“Australia effectively ceded to America the ability to decide when Australia goes to war,” said Fraser. He labelled the US a “dangerous ally” as Australia has become progressively more enmeshed in American strategic and military affairs. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40815.htm
What Syriza’s Victory Means for Greece—and for EuropeThe election was a triumph for anti-austerity politics and a rejection of corruption—the godfather politics, the jobs for votes, the backroom union deals, the bribes under the table, the yards of red tape and, above all, the asphyxiating power of Greece’s oligarchs, who buy politicians by the dozen and feed the population a debilitating diet of pap on their private TV channels.http://www.thenation.com/article/196001/what-syrizas-victory-means-greece-and-europe

Filmmaker Ross Kemp saw first-hand how militias, made up of football hooligans and current and former soldiers, are now fighting on the front line. Just a few years ago they were on the fringes of society – shunned for their violent behaviour and xenophobic beliefs – but since the fighting against pro-Russian groups their popularity has grown. http://features.sky.com/ross-kemp-ukraine/
