In an exclusive video interview, world-renowned linguist, philosopher and political analyst Noam Chomsky speaks to Hicham Yezza, editor-in-chief of Ceasefire, about the financial crisis, the cuts, the Middle East, Obama and more.
As the Arab world joins Egyptians in celebrating the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, Ceasefire editor-in-chief Hicham Yezza says we should not forget how this victory was clinched from the jaws of mounting disappointment. The time now is for vigilance, to protect the gains so far and to ensure the Arab uprising continues, bigger and wider than ever before.
Public comments casting doubts on the Arab world's readiness for democracy are insulting and silly. As Ceasefire's editor-in-chief, Hich Yezza, argues, It's time to shelve the 'regional stability' myth once and for all.
As part of its 'Ceasefire Sessions' season of talks, Ceasefire is very pleased to be hosting, in conjunction with the Nottingham University Arabic and Palestinian societies, the celebrated academic and scholar, Professor Norman Finkelstein.
Finkelstein, one of the world's foremost experts on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, will deliver a talk entitled: 'Israel: Search for peace?'
