Israeli airstrike near school in Gaza kills at least 10 and wounds several amid ongoing violence and fragile ceasefire
A recent Israeli airstrike has left at least 10 individuals dead and several others wounded near a school that was sheltering displaced Palestinians. This incident underscores the continuing violence in Gaza, coinciding with a fragile US-backed ceasefire that has struggled to maintain stability in the region. Health officials confirmed the casualties, attributing them to missile strikes carried out by Israeli drones in the densely populated area east of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. Eyewitness reports indicate that the airstrike followed clashes between Palestinians and members of an Israeli-backed militia, who allegedly attempted to abduct individuals from the school...

Amid intense scrutiny, the online betting platform Polymarket announced it would cease accepting wagers on the fate of two U.S. Air Force crew members following the downing of their F-15E Strike Eagle jet by Iranian forces.

The incident unfolded on a Friday when Iranian military forces shot down the U.S. jet engaged in the ongoing military operations against Iran, which have... [Continue Reading]

Hong Kong’s Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) is facing significant financial setbacks, poised to report over HK$100 billion (approximately US$12.8 billion) in losses for March, marking its worst monthly performance in dollar terms since its establishment 25 years ago.

Nigeria's military rescues 31 worshippers abducted during Easter service in Kaduna state attack that left five dead

UK lifts two-child cap on benefits to address child poverty affecting 450,000 children
The UK has officially lifted the two-child cap on benefits, a significant policy change aimed at alleviating child poverty affecting an estimated 450,000 children. The decision was announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves during the budget speech in November, amidst increasing pressure from Labour backbenchers to make this critical change, which formally took effect on April 6. This cap, originally introduced in 2017 by the Conservative government, restricted child tax credits and universal credit to only the first two children in most families. For nearly a decade, families with three or more children faced substantial financial hardship due to this restrictive... [Continue Reading]

Lessons learned from Dubai … or not?
It might be early to assess the impact of war on Dubai, the self-declared crisis proof planet, but some lessons can be drawn from its magic well, right now. First and foremost, I remember a saying about fairness: No, not the boomerang, and that what goes around comes around (the dark tales related to Lebanon and Gaza), but about a simple rule of thumb. If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you’re fooling yourself: that’s like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat it. It applies to humans and...

The Madness of Power, From Balfour to the Edge of World War Three
A Voice in the Wilderness of War: Who Still Dares to Speak Truth While Empires March There are moments in history when the world suddenly accelerates toward disaster, moments when anyone who has studied history can feel the temperature rising even before the explosions reach their peak. The current escalation in the Middle East is one of those moments. According to the facts we now see unfolding, the United States and Israel made the unilateral decision to attack Iran without the approval of the United Nations, without a global coalition mandate, and without the support of most of the international...

WAR CRIMES OR HUMANITY ON LIFE SUPPORT?
The Thin, Bloody Line Between Justice and Jungle Rule IS KILLING WITHOUT MERCY NOW LEGAL? By Anthony Sterling In September 2025, the United States military launched what became known as Operation Southern Spear, a lethal campaign targeting suspected drug smuggling vessels in international waters. The stated objective was to combat narco trafficking networks operating beyond territorial jurisdiction. The ethical shock came on 2 September 2025, when a double strike in the Caribbean left survivors clinging to wreckage for nearly an hour. Drone footage reportedly showed two individuals waving from debris after the first impact. Instead of rescue, three additional munitions... [Continue Reading]

The role of community policing in nurturing acceptance
In a highly polarized world and a highly volatile situation, many wars are perturbing the lives of many, forcing governments to take real measures to protect their citizens. Away from the geopolitical analysis and speculation, I would like to highlight one of many important aspects related to war preparation, which is the protocol of living in community shelters, historically comparable to the use of air raid shelters during major conflicts. During the war in Lebanon in the mid-eighties, I published an article about this protocol, and it seems very relevant to these days. 1- This is not your house: A... [Continue Reading]
