I'm asking John - and indeed all journalists - as a new year resolution to stop comparisons with a national economy and a household budget.

How many years have to go by until we can have coherent conversations in the media about the economy?

Al-Quds University in Gaza City reopened for in-person classes, rising from the rubble after two years of relentless airstrikes and closure.

Despite widespread destruction and ongoing reconstruction, students returned to continue their education.

Khanna on the Trump administration flouting the Epstein files law: "Every person at Justice who violates this law is guilty of obstruction of justice and a future administration could prosecute them"

Journalists Gideon Levy and Rami Khouri discuss the work of acclaimed Palestinian actor and filmmaker Mohammad Bakri, who died at the age of 72 on Christmas Eve.

One tracker estimates that the Trump administration’s assault on foreign aid programs has killed more than 700,000 people so far—a majority of them children.

Israel crushed Mohammad Bakri for daring to express Palestinian pain as it is.

❝ Bakri was an artist and a freedom fighter, the kind written about in history books and for whom streets are named. There was no place for him in ultranationalist Israel, not even after his death. ❞

Palestinians are freezing to death because Israel has blocked all the aid. There are thousands of caravans and portable housing ready for 11 months to go into Gaza but Israel is blocking them.

It’s such an insult to our intelligence how Israel supporters pretend it’s the WAY pro-Palestine protests are happening that they object to, and not the protests themselves. Like if protesters were saying different chants they’d be totally cool with opposition to Israel’s crimes.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
