"Short" is, of course, a relative term – because how can you summarise as many as nine different choices in a few words? Not to mention, of course, the Indian elections and the upcoming US elections.

Protests have made their way to the cover of TIME and New Yorker magazines, and are being covered extensively by The New York Times and The Times (London).

Large segments of the population of the West have empathised with Palestinian cause while it is the governments/establishments who have shown no apathy. The question is whether this is true democracy, sham democracy or autocracy. Palestine has exposed many countries to question and introspect their own human rights and democratic norms.
