Dear Friend,
Israel has bombed the building that houses media offices including AP, Al Jazeera , AJEnglish and other international news organisations.
It was not immediately clear if there were casualties in Saturday’s attack. Live Al Jazeera video showed the 11-storey Al-Jalaa building, which also houses a number of residences and other offices, crashing to the ground after being bombed as dust and debris flew into the air.

by Maureen Clare Murphy

Israeli Barbarism in Gaza
by Yanis Iqbal
Dr. Akram Kewidar, an assistant professor at the Israa University, Gaza, has sent me videos of the Zionist carnage occurring in the Palestinian enclave. Israeli bombs are reducing entire residential buildings to dust and rubble; bodies lie mangled in pulverized cars; corpses are strewn on the streets like the remains of flattened houses. As I write these words, nearly 83 people, including 17 children, have died; another 500 are injured.

What has been the impact of Natanyahu and his policies on the Palestinian people? For many people in world this is the most obvious question. The answer is equally obvious. This has been disastrous.

by Bharat Dogra

US-Taliban acquiesce to live and let live
by M K
Bhadrakumar
The US withdrawal is no longer conditions-based, which means the Taliban have achieved their number one objective without bending on any of the key issues such as their continuing links with the al-Qaeda or their agenda to reestablish the Islamic Emirate… Apparently, all that the US extracted out of the Taliban is a tacit understanding that the western troops will be allowed to make an orderly exit…

contexts and raising the questions that we need to raise
by Prof Mohammad Akram
The death count of 20 existing faculty members of AMU (there deaths of several non-teaching staff and dozens of retired faculty members also but not including these number here for the issues related to precision) speak more than volumes in these situations. It gives a specific and precise number within a specific context (say sample) and this number is very alarming and disturbing
