The subhead explains: “The terror group has proved again and again that it will sabotage any efforts to forge a lasting peace.” The article is the latest chapter of Clinton’s press tour following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks, including an appearance on the daytime talk show “The View.” Both in The Atlantic and on “The View,” Clinton explained why a ceasefire in Israel’s current war on Gaza would be a terrible mistake.Everything Clinton has said is part of a peculiar genre of self-defeating “liberal” propaganda on the topic of Israel–Palestine. Clinton is rational and informed and understands, as she writes in The Atlantic, that “the only way to ensur...

House Democrats Press Biden to Block Military Aid to Pakistan Over Human Rights Abuses, Jailing of Imran Khan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:32 GMT

Eleven Democrats in the House of Representatives are calling on the State Department to conduct a probe into human rights abuses inside Pakistan, with an eye toward restricting aid based on potential violations of the Leahy Act, according to a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.Led by Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rep. Greg Casar of Texas, the letter expresses “deep concern about the ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan,” which has been in a state of political crisis since the military-engineered removal of former Prime Minister Imran Khan last year.

Live updates | Israeli troops find body of hostage during search of Gaza hospital complex

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:32 GMT

Israel’s military said it found the body of another hostage in a building adjacent to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, the focus of clashing narratives over who is to blame for the widespread suffering of Palestinian civilians during the war between Israel and Hamas. The military identified the dead hostage on Friday as Cpl. Noa Marciano. The body of another hostage, Yehudit Weiss, was found Thursday as Israeli troops searched the hospital complex. Israel accuses Hamas of using Palestinians as human shields, while Palestinians and rights groups say Israel has recklessly endangered civilians as it seeks to eradicate the militant group. Aid agencies said they had to call off deliveries of basic necessities in the Gaza Strip due to a lack of fuel. They warned of possible widespread starvation in the besieged enclave because of a lack of fuel. They said most people in Gaza were without adequate food and clean water.At least 11,470 Palestinians — two-thirds of them women and minor...
