Last week, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved draft legislation to amend the country’s Basic Law to declare that Israel is “the national homeland of the Jewish people” instead of a “Jewish and democratic state,” as it had been since the state’s founding in 1948, he had to tamp down criticism that the law codifies discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel—20 percent of the country’s population.

“There are those who would like the democratic to prevail over the Jewish and there are those who would like the Jewish to prevail over the democratic,” said Netanyahu. “Both of these values are equal and both must be considered to the same degree.”   Continue reading “Israel’s Foreign Minister Wants to Pay Israeli Arabs to Leave”

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is expected to release on Wednesday a contentious and long-delayed environmental regulation to curb emissions of ozone, a smog-causing pollutant linked to asthma, heart disease and premature death.

The sweeping regulation, which would aim at smog from power plants and factories across the country, particularly in the Midwest, would be the latest in a series of Environmental Protection Agency controls on air pollution that wafts from smokestacks and tailpipes. Such regulations, released under the authority of the Clean Air Act, have become a hallmark of President Obama’s administration.   Continue reading “Obama to Introduce Sweeping New Controls on Ozone Emissions”

Crimeans should pay off their debts to Ukrainian banks despite now living under Russian law, a Russian Central Bank official was quoted as saying, marking a change in position by Moscow which had suggested ignoring any payment demands.

Reuters reported last week that thousands of Crimeans were not paying their debts to Ukrainian banks, with many taking their cue from Russian President Vladimir Putin who in April told one resident wondering how to pay off a car loan: “Please use the car and don’t worry.”   Continue reading “Russian Central Bank Official Says Crimeans Should Repay Loans After All”
