Look here: https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates-bonds The global bond market is low because of low inflation and interest rates. US 10-year Treasury interest rate is 1.1% US Treasury are also considered a global benchmark. So yes, 7% is generous, but only if things remain the same. But...

Then what's the point of the exercise of removing Israel from Bangladeshi passports? It would've been if the Foreign Ministry just reiterated its position of not recognizing Israel. End of story. Now it went through this convoluted exercise of removing Israel from passports, still not...

I understand what you are seeing, but I disagree. Considering that India is 20-percent Muslim, whose sympathy lies with the Palestinians, not necessarily with Israel. India still has a sizable left-wing constituency that also supports the Palestinians, not through a religious lens like Muslims...

Yes, because Chinese media says the truth 100-percent of the time!

A reminder that there's still a war being fought in Yemen.

These are the books I'm currently reading. As is my habit, I'm reading several books at the same time: Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA by Tim Wiener Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956 by Anne Applebaum Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu by Laurence Bergreen Embers of...

I've always wondered if the Ummah was genuinely interested in the plight of the Palestinians, or, truth be told, just want to wrest control of Al-Quds from Israel. Nevertheless, I don't see Pakistan weakening its position against India to fight a war Middle Eastern countries are capable of...

They don't. Hamas is committed to Israel -- and Jews -- destruction. People think it's the Israel right-wing that hates Hamas, no it's everybody in Israel. Even if some dove was Israel's PM, nothing would change for Hamas.

So one tweet in a sea of billions of tweets makes 1.5 billion Indians look like pro-Israeli fanboys? Nuance seems to be lost in the era of social media.

Why would Israel bomb a pro-Palestine rally? Seems like a waste of resources. Why not blame the usual suspect?

Netanyahu misses President Trump.

What benefit is Bangladesh seeking if it recognizes Israel? Is it expecting to get into the good graces of the US and EU? And what will Israel gain? Are they seeking recognition from Bangladesh?

Modi will be in power for a long time. He has no rivals within BJP or outside of it. Congress is a non-factor and will be until they jettison the dynastic Gandhi family.

No one controls the narrative in the era of social media. No the US, the ME, anybody... Israelis aren't Jews? This would be news to Israelis.

Sounds like the good ambassador is saying that Pakistan should abandon Islam and adopt communism. Get rid of democratic institutions and have a one-party system with a top-down approach. Led not by elected politicians but trained technocrats. Well, China's 5,000-year history is filled with ups...

Do you know who else spent a bundle trying to influence Trump? It was the Gulf states, but instead of spending it on the Ummah they just spent it on themselves.

You need to define what Zionism is because it seems to mean different things to different people. I can read all the history and all the religious text, it doesn't explain the situation the Ummah is in.

Good for the Egyptians. They have good relations with Arab states and long-standing relations with Israel which makes them an ideal bridge between the two. I hope they play a bigger role in the region. Rashida and company represent the left-wing of the Democrat Party. They are young and may...

Cease-fire is just another part of the vicious circle that is the Israeli-Palestinean conflict. Both sides will stand down, rearm, and go at it again, declare a ceasefire, repeat.

I don't even know why the issue was even brought up? There's no benefit for Bangladesh in joining the QUAD. Why unnecessarily anger China just to please India, when you can one play off the other for maximum benefit.
