Symbolic acts won't create a real Palestine

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 25/09/2025

» Ten more countries are recognising Palestine as a sovereign state in the course of this week. That brings the total up from 147 to 157. It's a big deal to an extent because for the first time it includes quite a few big, rich Western countries (France, the UK, Canada and Australia). But it is not unified, and it still controls no territory.

Israel's Gaza campaign is making it a pariah state

Oped, Thomas L Friedman, Published on 03/09/2025

Are you a 'doomscroller' or 'hopescroller'?

Oped, Jennifer Mercieca, Published on 10/07/2025

Monetary policy really needs to tighten in Japan

Oped, Koichi Hamada, Published on 12/11/2024

» Last month, returning to Japan for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, I was struck by how significantly prices had increased. In February 2020, a simple lunch in downtown Tokyo cost about JP¥1,000, then the equivalent of about $10 (324 baht); today, it costs more like JP¥2,000. To some extent, this mirrors the experience in the US, where, even as inflation moderates, prices remain well above their pre-pandemic levels. The difference is that Japan has also experienced a sharp currency depreciation, which benefits foreign visitors: that JP¥2,000 bill translated to just $13.
