Israel is obliterating the village of Markaba in South Lebanon. Another centuries-old village being reduced to rubble — home by home. This is happening despite a “ceasefire.” A war crime in broad daylight. And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime. Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become unusable—whether through hardware flaws, software updates that slow performance, or other engineered limitations—now face steep penalties: up to 2 years in prison and fines reaching €300,000, or as high as 5% of their average annual turnover in the most serious cases. This landmark law, building on France’s earlier consumer-protection framework and reinforced by high-profile scandals (such as the 2017–2018 investigations into smartphone “battery-gate” slowdowns), explicitly targets both physical and digital tactics used to push consumers toward frequent replacements. The legislation is more than just punishment—it’s a cornerstone of France’s broader “right to repair” agenda. By criminalizing practices that drive premature disposal, the government aims to: - Slash the massive environmental footprint of electronic waste, - Protect consumers from hidden “forced upgrades,” - Encourage manufacturers to prioritize durability, repairability, and longer-lasting support. France’s tough stance sends a clear message to global tech and appliance companies: the era of disposable-by-design products is ending. By leading the charge on sustainability and consumer rights, the country is helping shift the world toward a more circular economy—one where goods are built to last, repaired when needed, and discarded only when truly necessary.

Meenu Batra is the only Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu court interpreter in Texas. She had spent most of her life in Texas, working and raising her kids. ICE detained her despite having humanitarian protection. Trump’s mass deportation campaign isn’t going after the worst of the worst. It’s targeting contributing members of our communities and breaking apart families.

There’s a famous story about a rabbi who survived the Holocaust, camps and all, while his entire family was killed. When he returned home, he said, “It could have been worse.” His students asked: “How could it possibly have been worse?” The rabbi replied: “It could have been us doing all the killing.”

A shameful headline. This is not why they are gathering.They didn't cause the current fragmentation and the economic turmoil that came with it. They also have been loudly calling for an end to wars. So creating a platform where they craft a shared future and insulate themselves from the same people who have upended international law and the principles of shared interest, IS NOT "Global leftists leaders gather to mobilise against fair right." The people who always position themselves AGAINST are well known. Tsek with your divisive, loaded framing.

“If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them / Their oil would become tears.” - Poem & Quote by Beloved Palestinian Poet Mahmoud Darwish (1941–2008) The olive grove was once green; It was! And the sky was A blue forest; it was! What has changed it tonight? And tonight I’ll come through the window And bring you jasmine. Don’t blame me if I’m late; They always stop me on the way. They quietly stopped our truck at the curve of the road and quietly turned us East. My heart was once a blue sparrow; It was! And your handkerchiefs Were all white, my beloved. What has soiled them tonight? I don’t understand. They quietly stopped our truck and quietly turned us East. For you I have everything: Both shade and light And a wedding ring And even an orchard of fig trees. They quietly stopped our truck and quietly turned us East. The olive grove was always green; It was, my beloved. But tonight The blood of fifty victims Has turned it into a red pool. Please don’t blame me If I can’t come; They’ve murdered me, too. Amazing photo of a multigenerational Palestinian family’s olive picking in the occupied West Bank village of Duma. - Photo credit: Omar Dawabsheh

Asked about the Palestinian family massacred in their car by border police , MK Yitzhak Kruizer says “there’s no innocent children” and warns every Palestinian might have the same fate. This is who Americans want to give weapons to.
