Ha’aretz lies: To believe or not to believe

By Hichem Karoui, Special to Arab News Wednesday 26 June 2002 PARIS, 26 June — Have you people read the “full exclusive interview with Yasser Arafat” headlined on the front page of Ha’aretz, this Sunday June 23? For my part, I tried. But I could hardly find [Read More]

Cynicism and Passion: Why the Arabs expect everything from the USA!

by Hichem Karoui June 01, 2002   MMN The longstanding notion many Arabs were contemplating that if the USA wanted something done, at any time in any part of the world, it would simply get it done, has apparently resisted the September 11’s events. This vision while [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

The accounts of murder, arson, and crimes against women sounded horribly familiar: Each detail, each grisly fact seemed […]

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 […]
