In these turbulent times of COVID-19, when many leaders in government, business, and other positions of power behave as though greed is good, lying is laudable, and corruption is commendable, should we expect ethical behavior from them or from each other?What are we willing to tolerate or not tolerate?

The twenty percent Arab-Palestinian minority in Israel, which enjoys officially equal rights, refuses to recognize and accept the concept of a Jewish-Zionist state.Even though Israel is where Palestinians live, they strive to misuse Israeli democracy, allowing their representation of fifteen MK, or Members of Parliament, to subvert the legitimacy of the Israeli state and to totter it. This would allow them to create a bi-national Jewish-Arab country, where Arabs can veto anything Jewish or Zionist in its symbols or regime.But since the Jewish majority is adamant in maintaining the Jewish state, established more than seven decades ago, the Arabs who cannot reconcile their present situation will have to choose eventually between living in permanent friction and frustration, or restarting a new life in one of the surrounding 22 Arab or 57 Muslim countries where their likely adaptation would be much smoother and seamless.One major figurehead mentioned in the book is MK Ahmed Tibi, who despite being the darling of the liberal Israeli media, often adopts extremist anti-Israeli views and claims that Israel incites against his nation.(About the Author)Raphael Israeli has taught Islamic, Chinese, and Middle Eastern history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Colonial Son describes the failure of the historical system of British colonial rule, which has adversely affected the lives of so many souls around the world.The book is an indictment of a defunct global political system and philosophy of life that has shamefully enriched and pampered one section of mankind on the backs of unfortunates, and in the process causing enslavement.Colonialism’s curse on man’s greed and its uncaring attitude for one’s fellow man is not isolated, nor does it reflect brief behavior, as it has existed worldwide for centuries.This dismal political and historic failure has not been given the attention it deserves. The inept and wicked colonial administration policy of the British Empire has been waged against its black colonial subjects over centuries, inflicting vile rule and neglect.While it lasted, that policy never arrived at that part of the “long haul” of wicked domination, where opportunity was freely given for the rightful human development of a major portion of the human species. A sin, for which to date, there has been no solemn apology offered, no fitting reparation made.Author Bio:Clayton Didier is retired and lives in Barbados.
