WHEN THE MILITARY PERCEPTION PREVAILS

Hichem Karoui, August 30, 2001 (MMN) The first question aroused by the Israeli assassination of the PFLP leader, Abu Ali Mustapha, is certainly a Palestinian security concern: How could that happen? In a context of violence and continued bloodshed, and after the Israeli [Read More]

Hichem Karoui, August 24, 2001 (MMN) Evoking the last Egyptian peacemaking attempt led by presidential adviser Osama el-Baz in Washington as lining up with the US- Israeli stance about international observers, a recent editorial of the Jerusalem Post (August 21) quoted [Read More]

WHAT’S WRONG WITH BUSH ADMINISTRATION?

Hichem Karoui, August 20, 2001 (MMN) The numbers speak for themselves: an overwhelming majority in four European countries – at least 73 percent of the public – believe that President Bush makes decisions based entirely on U.S interests without any consideration [Read More]

WHAT ROLE FOR AMERICA IN ARAFAT’S KITCHEN?

Hichem Karoui, August 10, 2001 (MMN) If the suicide bombing that killed 14 people and injured more than a hundred in downtown Jerusalem, and other similar operations, would not force Israel to withdrawing from the occupied territories, it is unlikely that the Israeli [Read More]

  • Blair has much to teach his successors
    ‘I’m “so angry with Tony,” a disgruntled Labour leadership contender told me the day after the prime ministerial memoirs were published. “How could he have done this on the day the ballots went out?” The five candidates disagree on Trident, on tax and on much else. But on one thing, they’re united. Blair was foolish and disloyal to bring his book out now. So […]
  • Give the voters real choice
    This week will see the UK Parliament debate a bill to give the voters a referendum on electoral reform. It's 35 years since Britain last had a national referendum, and the one proposed for next May clearly hasn't had the most auspicious beginnings.

  • Three pogroms held together by a common thread
    The accounts of murder, arson, and crimes against women sounded horribly familiar: Each detail, each grisly fact seemed taken out of a script enacted before; the sequence of events was as predictable as the shattering, gut-wrenching climax. The accounts of murder, arson, and crimes against women sounded horribly familiar: Each detail, each grisly fact seemed […]
  • ‘nuclear incident victims must get prompt compensation’
    While the Lok Sabha passed the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010, on August 25, the Rajya Sabha passed it five days later. In this context, Srikumar Banerjee, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), spoke to T.S. Subramanian on September 2 in Chennai. Dr. Banerjee answered questions about the Bil […]
