Alex Brill | May 9, 2013, 4:51 pm

I wrote recently about the potential negative economic impact of a tax policy change under discussion in Israel: [S]ome Israeli politicians are seeking to increase a preferential corporate rate that benefits export-oriented businesses. To be sure, Israel must make difficult … read more >

Germany must go beyond rhetoric on Iran

Niklas Anzinger and Ludwig Jung | April 8, 2013, 1:38 pm

Obligatory Israel moves left post

Danielle Pletka | January 23, 2013, 10:46 am

Looks like Bibi Netanyahu miscalculated when he called early elections. Surprise, surprise, the Israeli electorate stuck it to a man they find competent but just can’t, no matter how hard he tries, like. Does this mean, as the Atlantic intoned … read more >
