The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Israel to stop making unproven claims that journalists slain by its forces are terrorists or engaging in militant activity, and demands international, swift, and independent investigations into these killings.
As Israel fights Iran’s proxies in Gaza and Lebanon, Iran’s efforts to destabilize the region could open another dangerous front in the east.
As Israel’s military campaign against the proxies of the Islamic Republic of Iran succeeds, and the scope of potential attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran against Israel in the South and the North becomes narrower, there is a growing probability that the latter will activate additional fronts that have not yet been exhausted.
[T]he West’s political “elites” condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah’s leadership.
There was no mention of international law for Hezbollah’s unprovoked, year-long attacks: bombardments of missiles and attack drones every day at a country smaller than New Jersey.

October 7 marked the one-year anniversary of the start of the current Arab-Israeli war. Let us summarize the results of the ongoing conflict to date, since there is no truce and no sign of any compromise solution acceptable to the two sides.
The UN, as a universally recognized international institution, is going through a crisis in its ability to make timely and fair decisions on topical issues of international relations, and is thus in need of reform.
The main causes of the crisis in the UN’s activities
The world’s first universally recognized international organization was formed at the end of the First World War in accordance with the decisions of the Paris Peace Conference, enshrined in the Treaty of Versailles. This institution, the League of Nations, was established in 1919 and existed until April 18, 1946, that is, until the formation of the United Nations as a result of the Second World War and the Yalta and Potsdam Peace Conferences.
Un nombre croissant de soldats israéliens refusent discrètement l’ordre de retourner au combat à Gaza.
Après un an de génocide à Gaza, de plus en plus de soldats israéliens tentent discrètement de se soustraire au combat dans la bande de Gaza, se disant déprimés, épuisés, psychologiquement affectés et démotivés, selon un rapport publié le 20 octobre par le magazine Ha-makom.
Analysis: Israel is trying to depopulate the north to geographically reconfigure Gaza into disconnected enclaves and maintain indefinite control, analysts say.
Residents of northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, along with those in the nearby towns of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun, were urgently ordered to evacuate on 6 October as Israel launched a new ground operation in the enclave’s northern region.
ournalists and historians have warned about a “new antisemitism” in the twenty-first century United States comprising a repackaging of historic antisemitic tropes presented by the far right and the far left as part of a struggle between neo-fascism, anti-fascism, and anarchism. Both the far left and the far right are challenging the liberal world order established after World War II and targeting Jews as responsible for the ills during the post-war period. This has led to a worrisome trend of violent antisemitism such as the October 2018 Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the April 2019 attack on a Chabad house in Poway, California, the December 2019 attack on a kosher market in Jersey City, New Jersey, as well as an increase in antisemitic hate crimes.1 To understand the modern incarnation of antisemitism requires an examination of the roots and evolution of institutional antisemitism and how it led to events such as the Spanish Inquisition and the Holocaust.
