Israel is a preferential democracy. And figuring out how to integrate 2 million Palestinian citizens is critical to a Jewish democratic state. The JL may be bridge too far Gadi. Though look at Bibi’s buddies - Smotrich and Ben Gvir.

While the term “Zionist Israeli” is misleading (Netanyahu uses it in place of “Jewish Israeli,” encompassing even anti-Zionist Jews such as Haredim), his point remains: there is little electoral constituency for peace in Israel, and racism is deeply embedded in Israeli society.

🚨New Report 🚨 One year after RSF captured El-Fasher and massacred civilians, @HRL_YaleSPH finds the city of El-Fasher is a ghost town. Abnormal vegetation overgrowth in El-Fasher corroborates a lack of civilian, animal, and vehicle presence after RSF's mass killings. Central Market in Daraja Oula is the only major market with visible activity out of 9 markets assessed. #KeepEyesOnSudan 🛰️@Vantortech ysph.yale.edu/hrl/publicatio…

The US response to my UN report fails to refute any of my legal findings that the US has murdered 244 civilians at sea. Instead it resorts to childish name-calling. I’m obviously not a terrorist sympathizer - but the US is committing extrajudicial killings ohchr.org/sites/default/file…

Admittedly, I never liked Bolsonaro, but he's just looking worse and worse. If he had been elected president, Brazil would be subject to this chaos and self-motivated leadership day in and day out.

Extremely greasy for the Liberals to put the Prime Minister's wife in a government role, and refuse to allow the House of Commons to actually summon her and make her responsible to Parliament. If a Conservative did this, you would all be apopleptic!

UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh is new frontrunner in race for UN's top job. But today, when a human rights group quizzed her on UAE's widely reported arms supplies to Sudan's RSF, she simply dodged the question, saying it should be answered by a UAE official. webtv.un.org/en/asset/k18/k1…

Flávio Bolsonaro wants Brazil’s election annulled because, he claims, Lula “changed the rules halfway through the game” by extending voting hours. There’s just one rather inconvenient detail. Bolsonaro’s own campaign ALSO requested an extension! His request covered specific areas, while Lula’s was nationwide, but both wanted voting hours extended. Now, having lost by 4.4 million votes, he wants the result overturned over a measure his own campaign supported. Quite extraordinary.

El dato no es correcto @SimonLevyMx. Flávio ganó 15 estados en primera vuelta y hoy sigue ganando 14. Solo Minas cambió, por 0.8 puntos. Lo que pasó es otra cosa: en casi todo el país la ventaja se movió hacia Lula, en promedio 4.5 puntos. De 5,566 municipios, 5,384 se movieron en esa dirección. Es un movimiento parejo y gradual, que es justo lo contrario de lo que deja una manipulación localizada. Te comparto aquí la evidencia, municipio por municipio, con datos del TSE. 👇 #EleccionesBrasil2026 🇧🇷 guruelectoral.com.mx

Lula won by 4.4 million votes. The number of votes cast after the polls reopened was under 36,000. Anyone who tells you that this is why Lulu won or that it delegitimizes the outcome is pushing a completely fake narrative.

Deixa eu ver se entendi a cabeça dos bolsonaristas: 1. Prefeito de capitais, bolsonaristas, assumem que descumpriram a legislação eleitoral e restringiram disponibilidade de transporte público, cada um com uma justificativa bisonha. “Nada de errado por aqui, as vezes eles esquecerem.” 2. Presidente do TSE mesmo ciente disso se abstém de tomar uma decisão. “Perfeito, nenhum problema, hoje é domingo né?” 3. Campanha do Flávio pede extensão de horário apenas nos locais que o beneficiaria. “Legal, é o justo mesmo, só choveu nessas cidades eu acho.” 4. Lula pede extensão da votação no país inteiro ao STF, INCLUSIVE nos locais onde perdeu de lavada pro adversário, por causa da falta de ônibus e porque o presidente do TSE não respondeu. “Ah naao, aí não pode. Ai é golpe!” É com esse tipo de desonestidade que o brasileiro tem que lidar.

A cherry on top of today’s victory for democracy in Serbia: it leaves Bosnia better off, too. Defenders of the Bosnian Serbian genocide of Muslims in the 1990s & all the hyper-nationalist, history-denying claptrap that goes with it had a big friend in Vucic.

Bosnian Serb secessionist leader Dodik secured U.S. sanctions relief in October 2025 but in 2026 he appears to have lost his two chief patrons: Orban and Vucic. Even with his SNSD’s re-election weeks ago in Bosnia, this is a disastrous turn of events for the Banja Luka regime.

So relieved Lula won. It's hard to overstate how crucial this was for Brazil to continue to progress and to become a more just society. A Bolsonaro shaped bullet was dodged.
