A weakened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scrambled Wednesday to keep his job by extending his hand to a new centrist party that advocates a more earnest push on peacemaking with the Palestinians and whose surprisingly strong showing broadsided him with a stunning election deadlock. The results defied forecasts that Israel’s next government would veer sharply to the […]

(CHICAGO) – Israel never was democratic and isn’t now. One-fifth of its citizens are enfranchised in name only. They have no say. Nor do most Jews. More on Israel’s election below. On Jan 22, Israelis voted. More than 5.6 million were eligible. About 1,000 polling stations accommodated them. In most places, they stayed open until […]

While much of Africa is going through something of an economic renaissance of late, the North African country of Mali serves as a reminder that in some places the continent’s endemic security problems rage on unabated.
