Republican anti-Muslim hate has no bottom.

"This is no brain drain; it's political exile" says to Haaretz a Israeli doctor who left for the UK. Tens of thousands of Israelis left the country in recent years due to political reasons. If Netanyahu's coalition survives in power after the October election, this trend is likely to accelerate.

Inside the GOP's Anti-Muslim Social Media and Legislative Campaign This policy report examines the stark disconnect between India's official AI rhetoric and the ground reality of AI-enabled hate, surveillance, and repression targeting minority communities.

"It is a coordinated campaign that uses social media to generate fear, legislation to codify that fear into policy, and a formal congressional caucus to institutionalize it. Nearly 90 Republican elected officials are involved.”

International journalists have been barred from Gaza for two years and seven months.
It's been seven months since the "cease fire" came into force, and two months since the Rafah crossing started to operate.
Israel continues to prevent the entry of journalists.

Watch this clip of David Resnick’s interview with Omer Bartov, who declares Zionism to be unreformable, and the Israel needs to be reconstituted on completely different grounds.

Netanyahu is keen to keep Israel in perpetual state of war and emergency. If the war in Iran and Lebanon is indeed ending, the next targets are likely to be Gaza. The failure to reach an agreement on Hamas disarmament would be used as a pretext for Israeli invasion.

"The conflict is exposing a fundamental tension: governments continue to align with U.S. policies as their publics reflect increasing disillusionment with them," writes Yara Bataineh on repression in the Middle East amid the regional war.

“Israel carried out a “triple tap,” killing three medical workers and wounding six, outside of Nabatieh today.”

That brings to 90 health care workers killed.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Israel bringing together Greeks and Turks. It melts the heart.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

I don't think you should trust anything from the Trump administration. It has a choice to make a break with Netanyahu or launch all out war against Iran. It is likely to believe that the political costs of the latter are less than the former.

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition

And Trump just bombed it...

I think you may be underestimating Netanyahu’s American political culture.

Kahanism is the only variant of Israeli political philosophy that was meaningfully shaped in the US. Meir Kahane brought with him American race politics which, mixed with post 67 religious Zionism, became what is now Israel's hegemonic ideology. There should be more reckoning with that US lineage.

Destroying civil society organizations defending children’s rights is definitely the trademark of a rights-respecting state.

“The Trump administration and its allies in civil society have targeted universities and students with such ferocity. Yale administrators cannot, in one breath, lecture brilliant young students that they must live their values even at a cost, while in the next, seek favor with despots.”

This is not a one-off event. As you will read, the removal of the pride flag is consistent with Boston University’s troubling pattern of silencing political speech, and reinforces a history of suppression beyond today’s political moment.
