'The only moral thing Palestinian civilians can do apparently is to die. The only legal thing the rest of us can do is to watch them die. And be silent. If not, we risk our scholarships, grants, lecture fees and livelihoods.'

There's an interesting shift going on right now where instead of the usual line that Palestinians were 'offered' a state and turned it down, Israel is finally telling the truth and saying 'actually we never offered them a state and never will'

A judge seeking justice to end her sexual harassment and requesting permission to end her life because she can't find any justice tells you everything about the state of the Indian justice system

Unless you are racist or stupid or both, it shouldn't make any sense to ask a prospective federal judge of South Asian Muslim background to offer some political interpretation of the situation in Israel at his hearing

How pathetic for the only remaining superpower. After giving Israel billions of dollars in aid for decades, arming it, and giving it unlimited diplomatic protection at the UN, if it still can't exercise any leverage over it, either 1) US has no power, or 2) not trying hard enough

First stealing evidence from a crime scene, then stealing it from one another like dogs rummaging through trash, there's no low low enough for India's trashy TV 'journalists'

Oh please. The worst finance minister India actually had, whose entire political career was contingent on Mrs Gandhi's affections. For decades, couldn't even win any election from his home state and had to be nominated to RS, sometimes from Gujarat m.thewire.in/article/books/…

What happened to the law? It's either legal or illegal, why is the highest court advocating a 'dialogue'? Does 'dialogue' make illegal legal? livelaw.in/top-stories/su…

The protagonist's dysfunctional relationship with his strict father, gets healed only when he returns home after slitting the throat of the 'Muslim villain'. For right wing incels, the film connects at a deep, visceral level thequint.com/entertainment/…

America's axis of the unwilling is a telling image of its moral isolation and its withering global leadership. No takers for its line outside a few client states like Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, etc

'A smartphone-led gamification of investing is complete...trading in futures and options is now more than 400 times bigger than the underlying cash-market turnover. This is a slow transfer of wealth from the real economy to a financial elite' business-standard.com/markets/news/d…
