@RabbiMivasair Well, Rwanda comes to mind. A Belgian Catholic Bishop is among the most evil instigators and perpetrators of that genocide. While the focus needs to be on the current genocide, I see no reason to overlook other bastards.

I'm an American trauma surgeon. One year ago today I was volunteering at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza when Israel fired a missile into the room of my 16-year-old patient, Ibrahim Barhoum. The missile killed him instantly. If it had hit the room 90 seconds later it would have killed me, too. Today the US and Israel are still blocking medical supplies from entering Gaza, and are repeating the assault on hospitals and healthcare workers across Lebanon. This is nothing but barbarism. It must be stopped.

With international cooperation in freefall, the question of what makes partnerships last has rarely felt more urgent. For Canada, one answer points in a clear direction: that the "variable geometry" Prime Minister Mark Carney championed at Davos earlier this year – different coalitions for different challenges, built on common values and interests – is key to navigating today’s fragmenting world. Over four decades, this approach has taken shape through Canada’s longstanding cooperation with the Ismaili Imamat, the Aga Khan Development Network and Aga Khan Foundation Canada. Beginning with a 1981 collaboration to establish the Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery in Pakistan, the partnership has supported more than 200 initiatives across Africa and Asia. This work has helped strengthen health and education systems, advance gender equality and women’s empowerment, and support community leadership and innovation. It also includes contributing to the construction of a new facility at Bamyan Hospital in Afghanistan, as well as support for the Madrasa Early Childhood Programme in East Africa. Today, the partnership spans 15 countries, has reached over five million people – more than half of them women and girls – and represents over CAD $1 billion in combined investments. The relationship has also found expression on Canadian soil – in the Aga Khan Museum and Park in Toronto, the Aga Khan Garden at the University of Alberta and the Global Centre for Pluralism in Ottawa. Canadians themselves are active partners through initiatives such as the World Partnership Walk and the International Youth Fellowship. In a fragmented world, this partnership shows that the most resilient alliances are those where shared values and sustained action remain aligned, from the policy table all the way to the communities they exist to serve. @AKFCanada @AKF_Global 🔗 Read more: the.akdn/en/resources-m… #Partnerships #Canada #Pluralism #GenderEquality #Education #HealthSystems


The Israeli Air Force has begun a new wave of strikes targeting infrastructure sites across the Iranian capital of Tehran.




Israeli civilians committed over 20 attacks against Palestinian villages and towns in the West Bank, Israeli media reported. jpost.com/israel-news/ar…




Since 1948, no other state in the Middle East: - destroyed more civilian infrastructure than Israel. - destroyed and displaced more communities than Israel. - occupied lands of several nations longer than Israel. - initiated more wars than Israel
