Catastrophic twin earthquakes have struck northern Venezuela. A 7.2 magnitude shock was immediately followed by a shallow 7.5 magnitude quake near Yumare—the strongest to hit the country since 1900—causing widespread devastation across Caracas and La Guaira.

Devastation in Venezuela following a series of powerful earthquakes. Large-scale power blackouts, collapsed internet connectivity, and severed fuel and gas lines have crippled local communications, complicating rescue efforts.

A new study reconstructs the evolutionary history of diatoms, marine algae with glass cell walls that produce 20% of Earth's oxygen. Diatoms originated around 270 million years ago, then exploded in diversity during Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary.

“You're right, Secretary General António Guterres. The attacks of October 7th ‘did not happen in a vacuum.’ The U.N. taught the Hamas terrorists that committed atrocities. They were graduates of your UNRWA schools.”

— Hillel Neuer at the 2026 @JNS_org International Policy Summit

BREAKING: Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, founder and chair of the Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children, challenges the U.N. over its failure to stand with Israeli victims.

@CochavElkayam's powerful testimony on behalf of UN Watch:

Our Civil Commission’s report, Silenced No More, was recently presented to you.

Drawing on an extensive historical archive, we assembled the most comprehensive evidentiary record of the sexual crimes of October 7 and in captivity.

For two years, we immersed ourselves in testimonies of unimaginable violence.

We revealed 13 patterns of abuse — including rape, gang rape, sexual torture, and the deliberate mutilation of victims’ faces and genitalia.

Victims were filmed while being tortured.

Families were forced to see the suffering of their loved ones.

We had to coin a new legal term – kinocidal sexual violence – to describe the deliberate sexual torture of family members.

This terror was made for visibility. Women’s bodies became spectacles of war.

This was also a calculated strategy, repeated again and again.

The truth is that Hamas created a blueprint for others to follow, putting women at risk worldwide.

Finally, the question is no longer whether the crimes occurred. But what is the world do about it.

Speaking for so many Israeli women who care about women’s rights, we were heartbroken by your response.

Where is your compassion?

Will the UN rapporteurs who doubted or denied these crimes acknowledge the truth?

Israeli victims were not merely abandoned. They were singled out, dehumanized, delegitimized.

We are now left to face a world consumed by hatred, and with an international system that fuels it.

Will anything change?

We call upon you to recognize our findings. And let this be the beginning of change.

This is the “Al Jazeera cameraman” Israel killed over the weekend.

Maybe he just didn’t tell his employer he had a side hustle as a Hamas sniper?

ATERRADOR: Un testigo israelí relata haber visto a civiles palestinos reírse mientras violaban a una mujer a la que sacaron de un coche. Luego la descuartizaron con un cuchillo y continuaron violando el cadáver, riendo.

Estos mismos civiles encontraron después a una pareja que huía y los masacraron con hachas y cuchillos.

El 7 de octubre, civiles palestinos se presentaron preparados para masacrar y torturar judíos, armados con hachas y cuchillos.
