Hard Questions, Tough Answers: October 2012 Archives
Alpher discusses what was most significant about the third Obama-Romney debate last week from an Israeli standpoint, whether the joint electoral list agreed on
last week by Netanyahu and Lieberman ensures a right-wing
victory in Israel's elections, and explains the strange, seemingly contradictory, actions last week: the dramatic bombing raid in Khartoum that was
attributed to Israel, along with an upswing in Hamas rocket attacks from
the Gaza Strip that produced only limited, Israeli retaliation.
Alpher discusses what PM Netanyahu's secret indirect peace negotiations with the
Bashar Assad regime tells us about Netanyahu's readiness for peace, what's been going on with the first week of electoral preparations for the Israeli elections, Republican attacks on the Obama administration's handling of the 9/11 attack in Libya, and the revelation last week that the Israeli military calculated the minimal number of
calories that Gazans should be allowed to consume daily as a means of
determining what foodstuffs to allow into the Strip from Israel
Alpher discusses the Israeli elections: Why is Netanyahu in such a hurry; why is he talking about security; why the Palestinian issue could be relevant; how the current administration has survived so long; what could happen between now and January to change the election situation; how could new parties or coalitions affect the election and how might the outcome of US elections affect those to be held in Israel a few months later?
