Following the bitter objections of the "Shiite Duo" to Dr. Nawaf Salam’s designation as prime minister, he is seeking to reassure them by stressing that he has two choices: "accommodation" or... "accommodation!" Thus, surrendering to failure is not an option. There is no desire for the vindictiveness or exclusion that Mohammad Raad, the head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, had complained of.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, as Mahatma Gandhi allegedly said. After Iran’s massive retaliation for the Israeli strike against Iran’s diplomatic compound in Damascus, it now falls to US President Joe Biden to prevent subsequent rounds of escalation from blinding the entire Middle East, or even the world. Biden must punish Iran diplomatically but also restrain Israel. This will be unfathomably hard. Since the attack by Hamas against Israel on Oct.

Our all-American belief that money really does buy happiness is roughly correct for about 85 percent of us. We know this thanks to the latest and perhaps final work of Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner who insisted on the value of working with those with whom we disagree. Professor Kahneman, who died last week at the age of 90, is best known for his pathbreaking explorations of human judgment and decision making and of how people deviate from perfect rationality.

Months of death, hunger, and destruction. Every person on Earth has experienced it. The corpses, screams, terror, destruction, disease, and hunger have shaken humanity's hearts, lived in their eyes, and stirred anger across the globe. Israel is waging a war against humanity in Gaza. It is not a global conflict like the First and Second World Wars. Several wars were fought across Europe, Africa, and Asia in the 20th century.

The ground was icy as my partner, my son and I made our way to the center of Berlin two Sundays ago. Still, as we joined about 100,000 others who had gathered there to protest right-wing extremism, it felt cozy — both in a literal and in a metaphorical sense. The mass of human bodies created a microclimate that made it bearable to be outside in the frosty Berlin dark for a couple of hours. And it was also warming to see this many people turn out to defend our democracy. We were there because on Jan.

The least that can be said about the US strikes on Iranian targets in Iraq and Syria in retaliation to the killing of three American troops is that what is happening in our region – whether carried out by Iran and its militias, or American responses – is depletion and undermining.

The perception of the environment has expanded in recent decades from fighting pollution to the management of natural resources. The increase in the world’s population from 1.5 billion at the beginning of the twentieth century to over eight billion today, together with a major shift in production and consumption patterns, has led to a doubling of the demand on resources.

The day is March 9, 1973. Two generals rejoiced over news they deemed as the “grand prize”. The generals are Ariel Sharon and Moshe Dayan, who was then defense minister. Tales at the time said Dayan wanted to make sure himself and when he did, he ordered that sweets be handed out to the soldiers involved. Yes, the corpse was that of the “Guevara of Gaza”, who was released from prison years earlier with a greater determination to fight the occupiers.
