Title- Israel after elections

Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (2-13) says:
"....Whatever is [re: Israel's election] the result, the outcome of
the ongoing negotiations [internal Israeli politics] will be
discouraging for finding a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The tough reality....is that the majority of Israelis are opposed to
the creation of a Palestinian State ...the unanimous expectation
among impartial observers...is that the new government....will
continue the occupation and the expansion of colonies....There is
only one question mark on this grim horizon: the Obama factor...."

Title- Why the fear

Op-Ed in liberal A Folha de S. Paulo (2-13) by former President Jose
Sarney: "Almost 20 years ago....I said that the end of the communism
was a result of its own mistakes. And I emphasized
that....capitalism had to innovate itself and resolve its mistakes
and its internal contradictions, otherwise the same thing would
happen to it. And it is happening. Globalization is deconstructing
itself, and protectionism is gaining strength again."
