    Political instability is evident in France as the cabinet fell apart over questions regarding the financial crisis of France and the overall economic downslide of the euro over the last 5 years. The Prime Minister Manuel Vall called for the dissolvement of the cabinet after President Hallonde made changes to economic regulations based on the urges of the European Union, German leaders to be specific. The big question regarding the European economy is whether government budget cuts and deficit financing is more important or finding a way to get cash flowing and creating jobs for citizens is more important. Many of the nations of the eurozone initially bought into the policies of austerity policies that Angel Merkel, the German chancellor, advocated, but now they're pulling back their restrictions and some economic growth is occurring. France and Germany, the largest economies in Europe are at odds and France's shift towards the right-wing National Front. France, as a part of the European Union, has pressure to do follow orders and maintain relationships with other European powers rather than do what's exactly right for their citizens. Political instability of France, unemployment, budget cuts, and debt-financing.

  • unless the proper lessons are learned
  • The first is that Israel’s deterrence capabilities are limited.
  • But that’s the point: Israel’s future wars with Palestinians are going to be in very densely populated areas.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Israel was unable to achieve the goals that it announced before the war. It was unable to disarm the various resistance movements and turn Gaza into a demilitarized zone, nor was it able to put an end to the tunnel system, or impose calm and guarantee the security of its own citizens.
  • The second lesson is that Israel’s ongoing siege of Gaza can’t continue.
  • t is neither possible nor acceptable that 1.8 million Palestinians continue to live in the world’s biggest open-air prison, and that they be required to surrender and acquiesce to the conditions of their detention.
  • It is unacceptable that Palestinians living there are banned from travelling out of Gaza. How much longer will Israel continue to rule the lives of Palestinians and demand their compliance, branding all those who resist the state of siege and occupation terrorists?
  • Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed
  • The third lesson is that Israel’s relentless campaign to weaken the Palestinian Authority, its president and moderate Palestinians seeking a political settlement has always been misguided and will only breed disaster.
  • When members of the Israeli cabinet claim that the Palestinian Authority’s president, Mahmoud Abbas, who is criticized for his dovishness in Palestinian circles, is not a possible partner for peace, they are essentially demanding a puppet, who completely submits to all Israeli demands.
  • The road to peace is both clearly delineated and short: It is the public acceptance of the legitimate right of the Palestinians to end the occupation and establish a state.
  • If Israel is unwilling or incapable of understanding that this is the only way to end the conflict, then the international community must take it upon itself to intervene and enforce the two-state solution. It can no longer be claimed that direct negotiations between two unequal partners, Israel the occupier and the Palestinians who live under its occupation, are the only way to achieve this. It hasn’t worked for over 20 years.

    UK Interior Minister Suella Braverman resigned on wednesday due to a controversy regarding her sending an official document from her personal email. She is the second cabinet member to resign in the past week. Braverman wrote. "I have concerns about the direction of this government. Not only have we broken key pledges that were promised to our voters, but I have had serious concerns about this government's commitment to honouring manifesto commitments, such as reducing overall migration."

    Precisely what got Hillary Clinton in trouble. And, as with Clinton, was this tempest in a teapot a foil for, as Braverman suggests, just getting rid of her? Maybe we should discuss the challenges of totally separating work from personal internet-based communications! You'll likely face this in your adult life.
