UN assembly votes overwhelmingly to back two-state solution to Israel-Palestinian conflict
By overwhelmingly affirming its support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the United Nations General Assembly has once again placed the Middle East peace issue at the center of international diplomacy. The decision came after a long day of debate that reflected both the enduring urgency of the issue and the continuing divides among member states over how to achieve lasting peace. The assembly demonstrated strong support for the concept of two states living side by side in peace and security, a vision that has remained at the center of global peace efforts for decades by approving the resolution with a large majority of nations. The resolution underscored the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, independence, and sovereignty in a state of their own, while also affirming the right of Israel to exist within secure and internationally recognized borders. The measure emphasized the significance of international law, human rights, and the United Nations Charter, condemned acts of violence against civilians, and called for renewed efforts by all parties to resume negotiations. Diplomats stressed that without progress toward two states, the region risks further instability, cycles of conflict, and deepening humanitarian crises.

Whispers of the Swamp
M Mehran The swamp had always been a place of caution. My grandparents warned me never to wander there after dusk. They spoke of thick fogs, hidden pits, and the strange calls of creatures that no one could name. I thought it was just stories—until the night I ventured in myself.

Evil Among Us, Evil Within. Content Warning.
Evil Among Us in 2025 I’m sure you’ve heard the saying before; we all have, every person on the planet has the capacity for both good and evil. Sadly, we’ve seen blatant displays of evil recently here in the year 2025. Everything from the racist human garbage that killed a woman on the subway just because she is white, while on his 15th time out of prison I might add. To the more recent murder of Charlie Kirk by a different worthless piece of human trash, simply because the killer disagreed with his political views. Of course, these are just the most recent in an all-too-long series of violent, pointless, hate-fueled, evil that has plagued the United States, and the world for some time now.

Your Words Have Weight. Someone Just Used Theirs as a Weapon (Opinion) by NWO Sparrow
Charlie Kirk's Death: A Wake-Up Call for Reckless Rhetoric Let me be perfectly clear from the outset: violence is never an acceptable answer. The killing of Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus is a horrific event, and I do not wish physical harm upon him or anyone else. The immediate focus should be on his recovery and the thorough, factual investigation by law enforcement. However, in the painful silence that follows the gunshots, we are left with an uncomfortable and unavoidable echo. This incident, while condemnable, should serve as a stark warning to a new generation of social media-led activists and commentators: your words are not just content; they have real and dangerous consequences.

Israel attacks Hamas leaders in Qatar, Trump says he's 'very unhappy' about strike
A flurry of controversy has erupted throughout the Middle East and beyond as a result of Israel's series of strikes against senior Hamas leaders who were reportedly residing in Qatar. Not only has the decision increased tensions in the region, but it has also sparked strong opposition from prominent political figures around the world. The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, was one of the most prominent responses. He said he was very unhappy about the move, which sparked new discussion about Washington's role and influence in the conflict. The strikes were described by Israeli officials as a decisive step in weakening Hamas leadership outside of Gaza, a strategy that has long been a subject of speculation but rarely executed with such boldness. According to Israeli military sources, the leaders struck were believed to have been orchestrating both funding channels and strategic planning for the group’s ongoing operations. By extending military action beyond Gaza and into a country like Qatar, Israel has crossed a threshold that analysts say could reshape diplomatic dynamics in the region.
