Netanyahu stated in 2023, “Every Hamas member is a dead man.” Two years later, during a prisoner exchange, countless Hamas members are seen in Gaza.
How effective has his strategy really been?

While Israel forces continued destroying the streets and surrounding the camp, Palestinian special forces hunted down and arrested resistance fighters in the outskirts of the city. Israel has promised it will continue to expand to other areas in the West Bank.

Israel’s looming ban on UNRWA only serves as another form of genocide, even though Israeli military aggression in Gaza may have formally ceased.
The agency, known as the “backbone” of all humanitarian operations in occupied Palestine, warns of severe consequences—both in Gaza and the West Bank—if the ban comes into effect at the end of this month.
In just over a week, two Israeli laws passed last October coming into effect will impair UNRWA’s ability to operate across occupied Palestine, leaving nearly 2 million people without vital support.

Today, 30 years ago, former Manchester United striker Eric Cantona kung-fu kicked racism out of football. Cantona launched at Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons, who had been racially abusing him for being a “foreigner” at Selhurst Park Stadium.
It is reported that Simmons had a history of Nazi sympathies, attending far-right British National Party and National Front rallies and attacking a Sri Lankan-born man in a violent robbery in 1992.
Simmons reportedly ran down 11 rows in the stand and heralded xenophobic insults at Cantona, who in response raced towards Simmons, climbed up the fence and gave him a kung-fu kick.
Cantona received a 9-month ban, was stripped of the captaincy of the French national team, fined £10,800, and penalized with two weeks of community service. “I have one regret,” Cantona said in an interview last year. “I would have loved to have kicked him even harder.”

Rape and sexual violence are becoming rampant in displacement camps in eastern DR Congo. Since the new year, advances by the M23 militia have displaced over 237,000 people. Local organizations report worsening camp conditions along with an increase in attacks by armed groups.
The UN describes the forced displacement in DR Congo as “one of the world’s most alarming yet under-reported humanitarian crises, marked by widespread human rights violations and massive forced displacement.” Since 1998, six million people have been killed, and seven million have been displaced in the Central African country.
The destabilization of DR Congo’s mineral-rich east is fueled by constant fighting among about 100 armed groups in the region. The M23, the largest of these groups, has long been accused of being funded by Rwanda, a key Western ally. Rwanda also has its interests in Congo, namely gold smuggling, which forms a key part of the government’s foreign reserves.

Body-cam footage captures the raw, relentless intensity of combat in northeastern Colombia. The recordings appear to come from the perspective of the 33rd FARC Front, under siege by the Marxist ELN (National Liberation Army).
For years, the Catatumbo region, bordering Venezuela, has been an ELN stronghold, now contested by the 33rd. The ELN dismissively refers to many FARC-dissident fronts as degenerate and depoliticized remnants from the officially demobilized FARC-EP in 2016.
The fiercest battles in years now threaten to derail President Gustavo Petro's fragile peace policies. Petro deployed 5,000 soldiers to the region, suspended ongoing peace talks, and issued a stark threats to the ELN: “War is what you’ll get.”
So far, more than 100 people have been killed, and more than 12,000 displaced, many fleeing across the border into Venezuela. The ELN remains Colombia’s largest and oldest guerrilla group, while FARC dissident factions, splintered and weakened since the 2016 peace agreement, continue to grapple with growing internal divisions.

On this day in 1891, influential Italian Marxist theorist and Communist Party leader Antonio Gramsci was born. After Benito Mussolini’s fascists took power, communism was outlawed, and Gramsci was arrested and sentenced to 11 years in prison, where he died on April 27, 1937.
Gramsci was considered one of the greatest minds of his time and was even revered by his political enemies. Mussolini said that Gramsci had “an unquestionably powerful brain.” When he was on trial, the prosecutor also argued that it was necessary to “prevent this brain from functioning for 20 years.”
During his time in prison, Gramsci filled over 30 notebooks with his writings, later entitled “The Prison Notebooks.” One of his most famous theories was “cultural hegemony,” which explained how the ruling classes maintained their control over the masses through ideological and cultural means.
