not this halftime show being “let’s unite and love the world” whilst they’re actively bombing countries who were in the world cup and funding genocides
I suspect the real reason for Singapore's opposition to a toll on Hormuz is not some high-minded devotion to international law, but because if it's set as a precedent and a toll were to exist on the Strait of Malacca, it would basically kill their current business model.
See, geographically speaking, Malacca runs primarily between Malaysia and Indonesia - Singapore only controls a small stretch at the southeastern exit. Yet currently they capture most of the strait's commercial value through port services, bunkering, and transshipment: it's basically like them having the best "service station" on the world's most popular free highway.
What the Hormuz precedent - if established - is all about is the revenge of geography: power given back to the countries that own the road, as opposed to those with the best rest-stop.
Fantastic news for Malaysia and Indonesia (which is partly why you're seeing key Malaysian political figures, like Nurul Izzah Anwar, issue a highly unusual rebuke of Singapore over Balakrishnan’s remarks: https://t.co/Ca8Mf2SRYJ), but a big threat to a city-state whose entire economy is built on being the best service provider on what's largely someone else's waterway.
After 80 years of mass murder, and today aggression in Iran, ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, genocide in Palestine, corruption of governments across the West, and the fielding of racist proxies to harass human rights defenders everywhere, no, Israel does not have “a right to exist” and does not have “a right to defend itself” anymore than Nazi Germany did. It must be isolated, weakened, defeated, and dismantled. The peace of the world and the rights of millions depend upon it.
The way Israelis keep talking as if Iran just randomly decided to victimize them with missiles -- due to anti-Semitism -- is almost impressive in its sociopathic delusion.
Israelis really believe they have the divine right to bomb and exterminate anyone with no retaliation.
Leila Khatami is a mathematician. Fatemah Larijani is an oncologist and herself a cancer survivor. Ehsan Haghini is a kidney doctor. Zahra Damad is an engineer in Illinois. Eisha Hashemi is a Jungian psychologist. What exactly do Yair Netanyahu and Eric and Don Jr Tr*mp do?
This was a masterclass in unintentionally capturing the comprehensively indoctrinated, hyper-propagandized state of Jewish Israeli society in just a few sentences
Israel has dropped more than 200,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped ~100 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child.

This is what genocide looks like.
When you educate an entire generation to believe that "anything is possible with hard work", and then build an economic system that is rigged against most hard-working people ever achieving any notable wealth or 'success', how can widespread anxiety not be an inevitable result?
PPUM has made history by performing a liver transplant on a four-month-old baby weighing 6.2 kg, the country’s youngest and lightest recipient.
The surgery was particularly challenging due to his tiny size, fragile organs, and a sudden pre‑operative cardiac collapse.
