HAMAS-ISRAELI CONFLICT COINCIDES WITH 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF 1973 OIL SHOCK

BUT POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO GLOBAL SUPPLY IS CONSIDERED SMALLER
K Raveendran - 2023-10-11 11:36
Curiously, the Hamas attack and the Israeli reprisal coincide with the 5oth anniversary of the first oil crisis, which plunged the world into an oil shock of unprecedented proportions, causing energy prices to skyrocket and leading to fuel shortages, particularly in the United States.

GROWING HATE CRIMES IN INDIA SINCE 2014

M.Y. Siddiqui - 2023-10-11 04:41
India has recorded around 878 cases of hate speech and hate crime under the RSS Pariwar union government from 2014 to December 31, 2022. Of this, cases of hate speech were 54 percent and hate crime 46 percent. During the period, highest number of cases was recorded in 2017. Hindutva groups are the core facilitators of hate speeches and hate crimes in India. Groups of killers do not formulate spontaneously, and enumeration through inflammatory public speeches has always preceded mass violence. There is no official data on hate speeches and hate crimes maintained by the NCRB, (National Crime Records Bureau). However, human rights related social research organisations and foreign human rights watchdogs have compiled data on such crimes.

PM MODI’S ONE-SIDED REACTION ON HAMAS-ISRAEL WAR HAS OMINOUS PORTENT

HIS HASTY POST ON TWITTER/X MAY UPSET WEST ASIA, MOST OF GLOBAL SOUTH
Nitya Chakraborty - 2023-10-10 12:16
It is now a full-fledged war between Palestinian militants and Israel. In the last four days, nearly two thousand have been killed. All indications point to further escalation involving the other militants friendly with Hamas on the one side, and big assistance to the far-right Netanyahu regime by the US and other western nations. So far, no world body including the United Nations has talked of the cessation of the hostilities. Both Hamas and the Israel are determined to fight till the end, it seems.
