      Recent attacks against African asylum seekers in Tel Aviv are raising important questions for the state of Israel. Advocates say the migrants are victims of racism, discrimination and decades of poor policy. But some citizens and politicians argue the rising number of "infiltrators" – as they call them – is leading to crime and a fall in living standards.

      Opinion: "When it comes to President Barack Obama's foreign policy, I'm of two minds. Killing Osama bin Laden? Thumbs up. Killing a US citizen who worked for al-Qaeda? Not so much. But at least he knows what's going on. When Mitt Romney talks about foreign policy, I get this sinking feeling that he believes the number one geopolitical foe of the United States is the Soviet Union," says Stoehr. http://aje.me/INWxx0

      US conservatives have ramped up their 'red-baiting' rhetoric - but the more they do, the less relevant they become.

      Opinion: "What is Anonymous? To some critics, the protest actions taken under the banner of Anonymous will be used by governments to exercise their repressive impulses... To others, Anonymous represents the finest the internet has to politically offer," writes Gabriella Coleman as she examines the shadowy hacktivist movement.

      Opinion: "Eltahawy's argument that a misogynistic culture and religion are at the root of hardships experienced by Arab women is out of touch. It ignores a reality in which many, if not most, women of the region not only take pride in, but derive strength from their varying traditions and beliefs," writes Sarah Moussa.
