The appointment of a special counsel for Hunter Biden’s case is just a trick to better shield the US president and his son

America’s top law-enforcement official is so desperate, in fact, that he has appointed a special counsel to handle the case. That’s right. No mere employee of Garland’s US Department of Justice (DOJ) is going to be leading the criminal invest...

The Philippines described this incident, which took place over disputed waters, as “illegal and dangerous.” Beijing, citing historical precedent, claims the entirety of the South China Sea as its own territory, creating an overlapping series of claims against a number of Southeast Asian states. The US has subsequen...

China makes weapons ‘breakthrough’

Beijing’s military scientists have claimed success in enabling high-energy lasers to operate “indefinitely” without overheating © National University of Defense Technology Chinese military scientists have reported a research breakthrough that could make it possible for Beijing to develop high-energy laser weapons that can shoot for as long as their operators desire, without interruption and without any degradation in performance. Scientists at the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, China, published the results of their research earlier this month in Acta Optica Sinica, a peer-reviewed Chinese journal.

Stop ‘thinking about war,’ Lula tells Biden

The Brazilian leader has claimed that he will try to persuade the US president to focus on investment rather than conflict US President Joe Biden (right) greets Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during the Brazilian president's visit to the White House in February. © Getty Images / Alex Wong Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has unveiled a new campaign to boost infrastructure spending and attract foreign investment, partly by making an anti-war appeal to US commander-in-chief Joe Biden. “We are going to tell Biden …, the United States has only been thinking about war for many years and not thinking about investment in Brazil,” Lula said on Friday at an event in Rio de Janeiro to rally support for the spending program. “Spend a little mon...

The English-language diaspora journal claims that among the measures allegedly under consideration is the expulsion of Israel from high-level meetings, about Ukraine, at the US Air Force Base at Ramstein, Germany, due to fears the Middle Eastern state may leak information to Russia.

Can the U.N. Resist the Pressure to Adopt the IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism?

IAN WILLIAMS Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August/September 2023, pp. 22-23 United Nations Report By Ian Williams TAKEN AS A WHOLE, the U.N. system is a mélange of principles and sordid pragmatism which can be inspiring, nauseating or infuriating, and often all three simultaneously. There are indeed some U.N. staff, agencies and offices that can insulate themselves from the ever-present pressures of member states and lobbies, not least on Middle Eastern issues. On the bright side, at the end of June the High Commission for Human Rights issued its updated directory of international companies profiteering from the occupation or working from settlements <https://tinyurl.com/2ryhe43u>.

When placed in their proper context, however, they help to illuminate wider issues and answer urgent questions, such as why occupied Palestine is at the threshold of a major revolt—and why Israel cannot crush Palestinian resistance no matter how hard, or violently, it tries. That’s when numbers become relevant. Since the start of this year, nearly 200 Palesti...
