Forget the global university rankings of any
list. The global university promotion exercise is filled
with snake oil and perfumed refuse, an effort to corrupt the
unknowing and steal from the gullible. The aim here is to
convince parents, potential students and academics that
their institutions of white collar crime are appealing
enough to warrant enrolment and employment at.
Writing
in 2019, Ellen Hazelkorn, who has had an eye on the rankings
system for some years, observed
that 18,000 university-level institutions could be found

Many Palestinian intellectuals and political analysts
find themselves in the unenviable position of having to
declare a stance on whether they support or reject upcoming

Palestinian factions, mainly Abbas’ Fatah party and
Hamas.
As far as inner Palestinian dialogue is
concerned, the elections, if held unobstructed, could
