Why UNRWA’s continued existence threatens Israel’s security post-October 7 – opinion

UNRWA poses a critical threat to Israel’s security, fueling conflict and empowering terror groups like Hamas.

UNRWA [The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East] poses an existential threat to the State of Israel. It was first created to undermine the legitimacy of Israel’s very existence and has since manufactured and continues to perpetuate the baseless and fictional “right of return” for people who had little to no connection to the region to begin with – and most of whom have been living elsewhere for 76 years.

Le monde est désormais multipolaire, n’en déplaise les nostalgiques de l’unipolarisme débridé

L’Occident impérialiste, ce colosse aux pieds d’argile, s’effondre sous le poids de ses propres contradictions. La domination est remplacée par la décadence, l’hégémonie par la déroute. Le roi est nu, et le Sud global rit de sa misère. Bienvenue dans le monde post-impérialiste, où les anciens maîtres deviennent les nouveaux sujets.

Some 570 migrants were sent back to Poland from Germany in 2024, according to the official data by the Polish border guard, far from the 40,000 cited in Polish media last week.

As World Powers Clash, ISIS Returns for Revenge

The Islamic State militant group is capitalizing on widespread unrest and flaring tensions over major conflicts, including those raging in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, to pave the way for new, deadly attacks across the globe, analysts told Newsweek.

The once-sprawling caliphate declared over a decade ago by the Islamic State (referred to as ISIS or IS) was largely defeated in Iraq and Syria by 2019 at the hands of an array of campaigns waged by local forces and international powers, including the United States, Russia and Iran. But the jihadis have since regrouped within the region and beyond, becoming particularly active in parts of Africa and in Afghanistan, where ISIS’ so-called Khorasan province (referred to as ISIS-K or ISKP) has emerged as an especially capable force when it comes to carrying out operations worldwide.

The European Council Summit: Migration, Migration, Migration

As the October 17-18 meeting of EU leaders approaches, an axis of right-wing and populist governments and parties in Central Europe has been flexing its muscles on migration.

The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers: How They Can’t Face Their Loss to the “Eurasian Miracle”

How the ideology of Eurocentrism, paternalism, racism and imperialism keeps the West in a fog about how badly its situation actually is.

International Relations (IR) theory fails to deliver on one of its key promises, specifically to produce positivist, value free analysis. What we encounter in the vast majority of international theory is the provincial or parochial normative purpose of defending and celebrating the ideal of the West in world politics. IR theory can no longer be represented as positivist, objective or value free.

Blood of Sinwar will draw map of freedom for future generations: Anas Haqqani

Anas Haqqani, a prominent member of the Islamic Emirate, said Friday in response to the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar that his blood will draw the map of freedom for future generations.

“Yahya Sinwar was one of the greatest fighters in the history of the Islamic Ummah, whose life and manner of martyrdom were special,” he added.

Meanwhile, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed during an operation by Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian enclave on Wednesday.

La pendaison de l’Empire américain à l’échafaud israélien – Pékin et Moscou assistent au spectacle

Le théâtre géostratégique américain, qui connut son apogée au moment de l’éclipse de la Russie post-soviétique, se heurte aujourd’hui à des acteurs récalcitrants.

La Chine, la Russie, l’Iran et un grand nombre de pays du Sud contestent frontalement la distribution des rôles par Washington, scénariste autoproclamé, qui attribue systématiquement les rôles de perdants à ses concurrents géopolitiques, tout en s’octroyant celui de «bon roi sauveur».
