Government supporters consider Mr. Bar as Sleale for Mr. Netanyahu and critics consider his removal a dangerous precedent who undermines the independence of democratic institutions.The hearing, which was broadcast live in Israel, opened with unruly scenes, while Hecklers forced a panel of the Supreme Court to pause the procedure and taking them back without an audience. It is likely that the hearing lasted most of the day and a sentence was not foreseen on T...

Nowadays they are so acute partisan divisions that it may seem that people have completely different realities. Perhaps in reality they are, according to Leor Zmigrod, neuroscientist and political psychologist of the University of Cambridge. In a new book, "the ideological brain: the radical science of flexible thought", Dr. Zmigrod explores the emerging evidence that brain physiology and biology help to explain not only because people are prone to ideology, but how they perceive and share information.This conversation has been modified for clarity and brevity.What is ideology?It is a narrative on how the world works and how it should work. This could be the social world or the natural world. But it's not just a story: it has really rigid prescriptions on how we should think, how we should...

Nicholas Burns, recently summarized as the way the United States win the global competition for power and prosperity: "Be kind to your allies".President Trump clearly has a different vision.
