به عنوان انسان چه کاری می توانیم انجام دهیم جز محکومیت جنگ و همدردی با غیر نظامیان بی گناه، کودکان، و انسان هایی که درون این تراژدی به سر می برند. گفته های بی مصرفی که در برابر واقعیت هیولای جنگ صرفا رتوریکی اخلاقی ست. جنگ ولی کار خودش را می کند، مطلقا ناشنوا، مطلقا تاریک.

While the world’s attention turns away, Israel’s genocide in #Gaza continues. Earlier today, Israel carpet bombed Shati refugee camp, killing dozens Palestinian civilians, including many children. These cowardly attacks against innocent people sheltering in tents must stop.

There's a national firestorm over Bob Vylan's chants about a genocidal army. Rather than about the mass butchery of innocent people. It is depraved, it is grotesque, it is beyond shameful. New column about the world turned on its head 👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"Today, independence is everywhere in Bougainville. The rhetoric of “sovereignty” and “freedom” features in everyday conversation. What is less clear is exactly what that independence looks like, and how it could work." By Ben Doherty theguardian.com/business/2025/…

I really enjoyed writing this story, and it is very outside all of the current bad news. Cramps, fatigue and hallucinations: paddling 200km in a Paleolithic canoe from Taiwan to Japan theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

The U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on Korea because of trade deficits that it claims are "engendered by Korea's Tariff and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers." But Korea has a free trade agreement with the U.S. It charges zero tariffs on nearly everything.

Super interesting read about a key political figure of Taiwan's current domestic storm, an unprecedented battle to unseat dozens of opposition legislators.

Total recall? Campaigners employ quirk of Taiwan’s political system to turn on ‘pro-China’ candidates theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Really interesting piece from Kathrin Hille about the KMT's soul-searching amid the massive recall. “Advocating cross-Strait peace has not given us any advantage,” a senior KMT official said. “So we have to conclude they do not trust us with that.” ft.com/content/49a1be…

“All sides, including all political parties in #Taiwan, will need to seriously reflect on the process of this recall campaign and think about how they may find common ground on issues that are key to Taiwan’s security and prosperity," I told The Guardian. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
