A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – Key consumer tech products have so far mostly escaped the heat of the ongoing trade war. But if U.S. President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to impose tariffs on the full range of Chinese imports into his country, it could hit that sector hard, experts said.

Rajiv Biswas, Asia Pacific chief economist at IHS Markit, said that products such as mobile phones and smart watches and other wearable devices could be targeted in the next round, while ANZ Greater China Chief Economist Raymond Yeung pointed to mobile phones as well as other consumer goods.

“If the US Administration imposes a third tranche of tariff measures on a further USD267 billion of Chinese exports, this will significantly ramp up the economic shock waves to Chinese exporters,” Biswas told CNBC in an email. [ Source: CNBC (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – A two state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict works best because it allows for people to govern themselves, US President Donald Trump told reporters at a new conference in New York.

He repeated his first ever endorsement of the two-state solution since taking office, which he had made earlier in the day, when he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But at the same time, Trump repeated for the reporters the line that he had said when he first entered office, that if both the Israelis and Palestinians wanted to see a one state resolution to the conflict, he would go with that. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Palestinian Authority textbooks encourage children to view the entirety of Israel as Arab territory, and teach them to seek the land’s liberation even at the cost of martyrdom, according to a new report by a Jerusalem-based research group.

Palestinian nationalist and Islamist ideologies that reject Israel’s basic legitimacy saturate lessons for children as young as six, with various science, math, and humanities exercises all reinforcing this overarching narrative, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) found.

The group studied grade 1–11 textbooks published for the 2017–18 academic year, and grade 12 textbooks that were inaugurated this August, following PA curriculum reforms first implemented in 2016. It released a preliminary review of the grades 5-11 curriculum in October. [ Source: Algemeiner (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – With high drama in the making, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh emphatically fended off new accusations of sexual misconduct ahead of a charged public Senate hearing that could determine whether Republicans can salvage his nomination and enshrine a high court conservative majority.

The Senate Judiciary Committee – 11 Republicans, all men, and 10 Democrats – was to hear from just two witnesses on Thursday: Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge who has long been eyed for the Supreme Court, and Christine Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor who accuses him of attempting to rape her when they were teens.

Republicans have derided her allegation as part of a smear campaign and a Democratic plot to sink Kavanaugh’s nomination. But after more allegations have emerged, some GOP senators have allowed that much is riding on Kavanaugh’s performance. Even President Donald Trump, who nominated Kavanaugh and fiercely defends him, said he was “open to changing my mind.” [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]

Just can’t do it,” Trump told world leaders.

The American president, who was expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, lashed out at the Islamic republic for sowing “chaos, death, and destruction,” vowing to counter its aggression. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
