I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport
The network will integrate betting odds for life-and-death issues into its coverage. What could possibly go wrong?

Right wing Danish newspaper eagerly embraced a French book on 'islamogauchisme'. The question is whether they actually read it with any rigor. My latest column examines that, drawing on the meticulous work of @avriogata.bsky.social: www.information.dk/debat/2025/1...

The latest trend among Israeli youth is to call their parents and mockingly ask for donations for the children of Gaza and record their parents' vile reactions.
Why do Western states not ask themselves how the region is supposed to co-exist securely with a society like this?

Wafaa Hamad survived an Israeli airstrike that killed her entire family in Gaza last year. She lost her leg and slipped into a coma. After a year of suffering without treatment, because Israel blocks almost all medical evacuations and keeps the Rafah crossing sealed, she has died.

Rabin was an ethnic cleanser in ’48, a lifelong anti-Palestinian zealot who never sought peace and openly said so. He delayed talks to keep settlements growing. Those who mythologize him live in a cozy (and easily debunked) fantasy of their own making.
