Israel’s crushing victory in its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon last year is considered one of its military triumphs, ranked alongside the Six-Day War victory in 1967. Meanwhile, its operations against the Houthis in Yemen, so far, have been more theatrical than effective, resembling its 2006 war in Lebanon. This, despite the fact that the armed group has no air defense capabilities or a missile arsenal to strike back.

The story of Chinese Americans really gets going with one of the great early episodes of globalization. The discovery of gold in California in 1848, brought tens of thousands of fortune seekers from around the world, including some from China. What happened next is the sort of history that many schools, states and the Trump administration have lately deemed dangerous and divisive. Chinese people and their descendants helped to build the country while also enduring generations of abuse.

Doctors and analysts agree that delirium is a sudden change in the brain function that leads to disturbance and mental confusion. It often results from a transformation the body is subjected to; it could be surgery or withdrawal that follows long-term alcohol abuse. One of the more acute symptoms of delirium is inattention and reduced awareness of one’s surroundings; the delirious can sometimes forget who he is, where he is, and what he is doing there.

The recent spike in leaked intelligence assessments warning that the Israeli military could strike Iran’s nuclear facilities should the ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran fall through, is redrawing the red lines around what Israel considers an “existential threat” amid sweeping regional and international shifts. Talk of an “imminent strike” is not limited to speculation in the media any longer, and it is not another round of the war of words between the two sides.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem declared his opposition to disarming the party. “We will not allow anyone to disarm Hezbollah or the resistance. The idea of disarmament must be removed from the dictionary,” adding that these weapons had liberated the country and protected its sovereignty. He then upped the ante.

Pope Francis, who passed to his reward on the morning after Easter at age 88, was a version of the liberal pope that many Catholics had earnestly desired all through the long reign of John Paul II and the shorter one of Benedict XVI — a man whose worldview was shaped and defined by the Second Vatican Council and whose pontificate sought a renewal of its revolution, a further great modernization of the Catholic Church. In one way, at least, he succeeded.

To say that our history moves slowly is not a great discovery. We have seen, and continue to see, generation after generation living on "causes" that revert back to square one every time a solution that ends the struggle seems possible. This is particularly true of the Palestinian cause and the "vicious attack" on it and us, but it is also true of the Kurdish cause and sectarianism in the Levant and even applies to the conflict in the Western Sahara that dates back to 1975.

The war between Lebanon and Israel has reared its head once again. This comes after the ceasefire announced on November 27 was extended to February 18. While it was in effect, Israel violated the agreement 1,500 times, and Israel's Defense Minister announced that the occupied positions in Lebanon would be turned into a buffer zone. Assassinations of Hezbollah's military apparatus have accelerated, with several senior field commanders recently targeted.

Without any of the rapture seen when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and a number of political and civil society groups signed the “Sudan Founding Charter” in Nairobi last month, it was announced that the signatories had agreed to a transitional constitution that document adopts secularism, calls for the formation of a new army composed of RSF forces, and dividing the country into eight regions, some of which are granted the right to self-determination in certain cases.
