The first Issue of 2009 of the South Bulletin is a Special Issue focusing exclusively on the Palestine-Israel Question. The Editorial and the lead article by Dr. Yash Tandon, Executive Director of the South Centre are on "The Palestine-Israel Question : There is another way out of the dilemma".

This is followed by articles by John Pilger on "Holocaust Denied: The lying silence of those who know", by Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann on "End the Scourge of War", by Navanethem Pillay on "Accountability Must Be Ensured for Violations of International Law" and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi in 1946 on the Palestine Question.

History will not absolve those world leaders who watch with cynicism the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in front of their very eyes in Gaza.
