Why is "empathy" now considered a bad thing (including by the owner of this platform)?
In my latest for @WPReview, I explain how claims of "toxic" or "suicidal" empathy impact foreign policy...despite being logically flawed.

Far from being intellectually profound, those arguments are logically flawed, even vacuous, columnist @ProfPaulPoast writes.

Wars on both sides of the Red Sea, from Yemen and Somalia to Ethiopia and Sudan, are drawing in rival regional and global backers.
As senior columnist @FridaGhitis writes, that makes the vital waterway the place where “an out-of-control wildfire could erupt.”

Czechs elect one-third of the Senate and more than 62,000 local council seats this weekend, and critics of PM Andrej Babiš hope the vote will rein in his right-wing populist coalition.

Turkey wants a functioning, centralized Syrian state that can control its own territory. Israel would prefer its neighbor stay weak and fragmented.
That clash of visions is fueling what some analysts call an Israeli-Turkish “cold war” in Syria.

Expanding a U.N. arms embargo that member states have shown only lukewarm willingness to enforce, columnist Lesley Anne Warner argues, would give false hope to the millions of people uprooted by Sudan’s civil war.

With Israel’s elections weeks away, the Israeli right wants to “fix as much as it can on the ground” in the occupied West Bank “so that no future government can undo it,” Khalil Tafakji, who maps settlement expansion, told Aseel Mafarjeh.

From the Horn of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, old wars are raging while newer ones heat up—turning the Red Sea into the Middle East’s new epicenter of instability, @FridaGhitis writes in her latest column.

With Bashar al-Assad gone and Iran’s influence in Syria sharply diminished, the country has become the arena for a new rivalry between Israel and Turkey over what post-Assad Syria should look like, @GiorgioCafiero writes.

Israel and Turkey’s ‘Cold War’ Is Heating Up in Syria
Many thanks to @ElliotWaldman and the rest of the team at @WPReview for publishing my latest article. worldpoliticsreview.com/isra…
In her latest column for WPR, Lesley Anne Warner notes that weapons keep reaching Darfur via Chad, Libya, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, yet no Security Council member has penalized the states breaching the existing U.N. arms embargo.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank can’t vote in Israel’s Oct. 27 elections, though the settlers beside them can.
And before the vote, Israel’s far-right government is moving to make its creeping annexation irreversible.

Bipartisan public anger, a bid to impeach U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, troops’ unease and a CENTCOM rethink all followed the U.S. bombing of a school in Minab, Iran.
That is international law showing its teeth, columnist @charlicarpenter writes.

The U.N. Security Council is split over whether to expand its Darfur arms embargo to all of Sudan, but the bigger failure is that the existing embargo has gone largely unenforced, Lesley Anne Warner writes.

Israel’s far-right government is racing to make its creeping annexation of the occupied West Bank impossible for any future government to reverse before Israelis vote this month, Aseel Mafarjeh reports from Ramallah.
