By Guest Author
Since the Hamas attacks on 7 October and Israel’s response, anti-Semitism has risen alarmingly in many parts of the world.

Azerbaijan, a strong ally of Israel, is engaged in a long-standing conflict with Armenia. This alliance arouses the disapproval of many Armenians, who take a dim view of the proximity between Jerusalem and Baku. In protest, some Armenians have reacted by attacking Jewish symbols in their own country. On 15 November, individuals threw Molotov cocktails at the synagogue in

“Russian oligarch” or not, EU may still be after you following “leading businessperson” rebranding
By Newsdesk
Following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has been subject to arguably the most comprehensive and severe sanctions ever imposed on any nation. The European Union, once Russia’s biggest trading partner, led the way with a staggering eleven packages of sanctions in the past 20 months, covering a wide array of people, state institutions and entities, private companies, and whole sectors of the economy. While morally understandable and politically prudent, it was unavoidable that such broad-based sanctions would increasingly emerge as a case of collateral damage. Part of it is obviously due to the very nature of

How raising a child with Autism helped develop my faith and made my life better
By Guest Author
Unesco’s observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is around the corner. The day was established by the United Nations to promote and create awareness of “the benefits of an inclusive and accessible society for all.” As a father of two children with autism, I am naturally motivated to create an inclusive and accessible society. However, my approach has always been less about big institutions, such as the UN, or government laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Instead, I’ve tried to take my years of hard-won lessons as a parent and personally share them —

After the conflict, war crimes must be prosecuted as a matter of urgency
By Guest Author
For 75 years now, Israel has been trying to reconcile its policies with those of its regional environment. In recent weeks, this far from easy task seems to have turned into an almost impossible mission. Because Israel rejects all the United Nations resolutions, imposing not only the withdrawal from the territories occupied since 1948, the Palestinian question has been radicalized year after year to arrive at this polarisation today which divides more than ever two societies that want to be done with each other. Zionism, which had its origins in the creation of a State of Israel in Palestine, no

An urgently needed ceasefire and the release of the hostages: Qatar is a key player
By Guest Author
It will soon be a month since Hamas carried out its attack in southern Israel, killing nearly 1,400 people. Since then, Israel’s response has been an endless bombardment of a territory that was already bloodless before the war resumed. The first victims were more than 7,000 Palestinians, half of them children. Despite international protests, Israel continues to wage war on the civilian population without being really sure of finally defeating Hamas. To this must be added the fundamental parameter of the 240 Israeli and foreign hostages still in the hands of the Islamists, who are being used as bargaining chips.
