...question of recognizing Israel is difficult for Hamas or any other Palestinian organization, ultimately, because of the meaning of Israel in the Palestinian national story. In the Western and Israeli narrative, Israel's creation is seen as redress for centuries of Jewish suffering in Europe culminating in the Holocaust.

Initiatives like the futuristically designed Selfridges department store, tel: (44-121) 600 6796, may finally start to redress this wrong. The store?decorated with 15,000 bright metallic disks that were apparently inspired by the famous chain-mail dresses of French designer Paco Rabanne?is home to easily the best food hall north of London. Aside from all the gourmet groceries one could require, there's a wealth of hip takeaway outlets to choose from?among them a New York-style deli counter, a branch...
