What’s common between Israel and Pakistan’s nuclear programmes?

6 days ago | openthemagazine.com | Ullekh NP

Features | Web Exclusive Israel and Pakistan both stole crucial centrifuge blueprints from European consortium Urenco, and both helped other countries develop nuclear bombs through illegal sales of design and technology, thus aiding proliferation David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel (seated left) with John F Kennedy, then a congressman (extreme right), in Israel, 1951 (wiki commons) Even as Israel launched military strikes at Iran on June 13 alleging that the latter was in the...
Israeli commentator says he expects US/NATO to strike Iran on their own

1 week ago | openthemagazine.com | Ullekh NP

Award-winning Haaretz journalist and best-selling author Yossi Melman has made a startling claim likely to provoke the ire of US President Donald Trump’s MAGA base and even a section of Israelis: he believes the US and its Western allies should strike Iran’s nuclear sites without involving Israel. “I prefer the US or a Western military alliance, like NATO, to do it rather than Israel,” he told Open in an interview.

Why can’t God talk to world leaders? It’s not just a metaphorical question I am putting before you, dear reader. George Walker Bush, the son of George Herbert Walker Bush, both American presidents, had told a Palestinian delegation in 2003, within months of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, that he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

President Donald Trump, known for inserting himself into foreign policy flashpoints with tall claims, has once again taken credit — and this time for Israel’s recent strikes on Iran. Trump’s statement about the June 13 Israeli operation Operation Rising Lion, which targeted uranium enrichment sites and killed top Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, appears at odds with that of his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
The Redundant Gandhi

CONGRESS LEADER Rahul Gandhi’s political priorities, it seems, can be interpreted through the lens of Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economist Richard Thaler’s theories. Before delving into one such theory that helps us better understand the Nehru-Gandhi scion, it’s worth noting that his flawed political strategies appear to be driven by three ‘M’s: Mother, Modi-phobia, and Monopoly.
