We urgently need government intervention to prevent the Central Bank from continuing its role as a regulator of Israeli bonds.

These bonds contribute to the destruction of civilian life in Palestine and beyond.

UN tax negotiations are underway in New York.

This piece accounts for a substantial policy change we need to see: taxing economic activity where it occurs.

Such a move would limit tax abuse by powerful multinationals and add huge sums to public revenue.
