While a great deal of media attention during the Hamas/Israel war has been devoted to public opinion in the West, much less has been focused on that in the Middle East – which is unfortunate since it is those living there who will ultimately decide when the war is over and under what circumstances. Contrary to what many in the West think, public opinion in Gaza is complex, with a wide range of views being held by those living there.

In his study, On War, the 19th century military theorist,Carl von Clausewitz states that war is, “a continuation of political intercourse, carried on with other means” – that is, another form of politics where the antagonists move from hurling words at each other to using guns, bayonets and bombs to prove their point. Wise government and military leaders, then, keep a careful watch on domestic and foreign public opinion, believing that failing to do so can be fatal.

Kenya is preparing to send 1000 police officers to Haiti, leading a multinational security force to help restore order in the impoverished and gang-ridden Caribbean nation. The UN Security Council approved the mission on 2nd October, with a vote from which veto-wielding China and Russia abstained. In an interview with the BBC a few days before the vote, Alfred Mutua, Kenya’s foreign minister, said the mission would commence at the beginning of 2024.

This video about men and women who reverted to their natal sex is disturbing and amazing. Disturbing because it shines a spotlight on their unhappiness and the cynicism of the transgender ideologues who helped them “transition”. Amazing because it was made by a commercial TV network in Australia. The interview with a medical expert at the end is one of the most fiery encounters on screen that you will ever see. Compelling viewing about a catastrophic medical scandal.

Title VII of the US Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants based on their race, colour, religion, sex, or national origin. However, that didn’t stop the majority of S&P 100 companies reducing Caucasian Americans to just 6 percent of new hires in the year following the Black Lives Matter protests. This is according to an analysis by Bloomberg published last week titled “Corporate America Promised to Hire a Lot More People of Color.

Anyone who has ever bought something only to hate it once they got it home is familiar with the concept of buyer’s remorse. Sadly, the regret felt after making a bad purchase also applies to the world of politics. The difference is that politicians, once elected, cannot be returned for a refund. And the damage they inflict on their constituents or nation can linger on for years, long after they have left office.

While many interesting books have been published in recent times on the topic of societal secularisation, few are written from the perspective of those at the coalface of religious ministry. The pastor of Orlando Grace Church, Jim Davis, and a member of his congregation, Michael Graham, have now attempted to diagnose the cause of American Christianity’s decline, with a view to proposing ways in which Christians can encourage former churchgoers to return.

It could be argued that society is in pretty sad shape. Children, in particular, are suffering from a host of problems, including anxiety, obesity, aggression, ADHD, and depression, at the highest rates in history. The new US Strategy on Global Women’s Economic Security is not going to help matters much. In fact, it could make things a whole lot worse.

I never thought that I would find myself on the same side of an argument as Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for the Kremlin. But in the hullabaloo over the Canadian Parliament applauding Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian man who had fought with Nazi Germany, he was on the money. "Many Western countries, including Canada, have raised a young generation that does not know who fought whom or what happened during the Second World War," Peskov told reporters.

If you thought that Russell Brand’s problems were the biggest story in the UK right now, think again. Think about a revolt brewing in the British Civil Service against gender ideology and a warning from within the ranks that identity politics are undermining government itself.
