12 November 2020 The decade of drift of Israeli polity under PM Netanyahu is one where Trump Presidency was not as much the major instigator as it was a catalyst. For a first, it was unique to see Germany, UK and France weigh in on a continental scale, in contrast to the US on the […]
9 November 2020 I never thought that such words would emerge from my desk, devoid of my innate sense of optimism, a flair for the naiveté and brimming with the hope that humanism always serves with unvarnished optimism.
