Monday’s US presidential debate on foreign policy came and went. And we are none the wiser for it. Not surprisingly, at the height of the campaign season, neither US President Barack Obama nor his Republican challenger Gov. Mitt Romney was interested in revealing his plans for the next four years. But from what was said, we can be…

In Israel, Washington and throughout the world, Abbas’s supporters extol the authoritarian leader as a great moderate.
