In the latest of the interminable media “furores” about Jeremy Corbyn’s supposed unfitness to lead Britain’s Labour party – let alone become prime minister – it is easy to forget where we were shortly before […]
In one of his blogs Richard Falk, who has made many trips to Africa, talked of his love of giraffes. They have no vocal cords, which cannot be said of him, but they stick their […]

Bahrain hosted the economic version of the so-called Deal of the Century. A two-day conference, co-hosted by the United States, was held in the capital, Manama, on June 25-26. The Palestinian leadership has rightly refused to […]
