"US Authorizes Transfer of Bombs and Jets to Israel Amid Gaza Threat"

The US has approved the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel, despite publicly expressing concerns about the potential Israeli invasion of Gaza's Rafah and the escalating civilian casualties. This move comes amid growing international outcry and calls for an end to weapons flowing to Israel, as the country faces widespread condemnation for its military campaign in Gaza. Despite the US pushing for a ceasefire, its continued military assistance to Israel is seen as undermining efforts to position the US as a moral authority in the world.

"Tourist Gang Rape in India Exposes Ongoing Struggle Against Sexual Violence"

A Spanish tourist and her partner, travel bloggers with a large Instagram following, were gang-raped in a forest in India, sparking national outrage and highlighting the country's ongoing struggle to curb sexual violence. The incident, which led to the arrest of three men with a search for four more suspects, underscores the pervasive issue of sexual assaults against women in India, particularly in rural areas where victims face stigma and lack of faith in the justice system. Despite legal amendments and high-profile cases, women's rights activists argue that the government is not doing enough to protect women and punish attackers, with low conviction rates and a culture of downplaying sexual harassment and violence against women still prevalent.

"Outrage over Israeli Soldiers' Malicious Actions in Gaza Caught on Camera"

Viral videos and photos of Israeli soldiers behaving derogatorily in Gaza have sparked international outcry and criticism of the Israeli military's tactics and civilian death toll in its war against Hamas. The videos, largely shrugged off in Israel, reflect a national mood highly supportive of the war with little empathy for Gaza's civilians. The Israeli army has pledged disciplinary action in what it claims are isolated cases, but critics argue that the dehumanization from the top is sinking down to the soldiers.

Belarus Pardons Activist Roman Protasevich After Ryanair Incident

Belarusian opposition activist Roman Protasevich, who was arrested after his Ryanair flight was forced to land in Minsk, has been pardoned. Protasevich was sentenced to eight years in prison earlier this month on charges of inciting unrest. It is unclear what the pardon means for his jail sentence. Protasevich was editor of the Nexta Telegram channel, which published videos and information from the wave of giant street protests against Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. His arrest caused an international outcry and led to the EU imposing sanctions against Lukashenko.

International Outcry as Iran Executes Three Protesters.

Iran executed three men on charges of "waging war against God" and collaboration with terrorist groups, despite international outcry and allegations of flawed trials and torture. The charges were based on their confessions that they were involved in killing three members of the regime's forces during protests in Isfahan last November. Protests erupted across the country in response to the executions, which come amid a "frighteningly" high number of executions in Iran, with over 209 executed so far since January, according to the United Nations Human Rights Chief.

Chinese Components Found in Russian Weapons by Ukraine

Russian-British dual national and Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by a Moscow court for treason and other offenses, sparking international outcry and calls for his immediate release. Kara-Murza, who twice nearly died after what he says were deliberate poisoning attacks, was arrested on the charge of spreading “false information” about Russia's armed forces. He denies the charges. The British government immediately condemned the verdict and sentence, one of the harshest penalties to date against a Russian who has spoken out against the Kremlin's war against Ukraine, saying the case against the 41-year-old father of three was "politically motivated."
