Aftermath of settlers' raid on West Bank village of Duma, Tuesday.Credit: Duma village council Recent weeks have seen settlers violently rampaging through the West Bank in a spate of attacks that are extreme even by usual West Bank standards.

Après le succès électoral inattendu de Die Linke aux élections législatives, la question se pose de savoir si le parti est en mesure de convertir l'énorme afflux de nouveaux membres en un parti de masse bien établi. Naisan Raji vit à Francfort. Elle est psychologue de profession, mais il lui faut actuellement deux emplois pour vivre. Lors du congrès du parti à Halle en octobre dernier, elle a été élue au comité directeur du parti. Elle tient beaucoup à ce que Die Linke fasse à nouveau (…)

The below article was written last summer. Since then, although the potential Bird Flu pandemic has not yet emerged, worrisome signs that it is mutating in dangerous ways have emerged. In its final days, the Biden administration increased surveillance efforts and efforts to reduce the spread of influenza H5N1 among dairy cattle. As I write this on January 23, 2025, the Trump administration has ordered a halt to CDC updates on bird flu and all other issues, and it remains unclear whether or (…)

In the wake of Trumpism, there is no shortage of disruptive events capturing our attention. Creating media chaos to destabilise his opponents is a Trump tactic. In Québec and Canada, we already have the tariff war, the dramas of the federal Liberals and now the federal election, in Quebec the Legault government's low blows against the working people, the Québec budget, and internationally the dramatic consequences for Ukraine and Europe from Trump's alliance reversals... and also, for the (…)

The Marcos administration cannot take the risk of letting BARMM slip from its grasp. It will either secure victory or ensure that defeat there, should it come, is rendered meaningless. It wasn't a surprise that Abdulraof Macacua became the interim chief minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). His name had been in the air for some time, even floated as far back as the Duterte administration, according to the head of a nongovernmental organization involved in (…)
