Utterly shocking but not a surprise. Impunity breeds hubris.

All states and people who care for Freedom must rise up in defense of the ICC and int'l justice now, before it's too late.

It's rule of law or barbarism.

I have watched scenes like these my entire life. They would show it on TV when I was a kid in Israel. The demonic evil humanity must triumph over - and punish, heavily, the perpetrators, and those responsible and complicit. The day of judgement is coming

A horrific crime was committed by Israeli settlers in western Ramallah, where they poisoned the only water well belonging to farmer Saber Othman with deadly substances, in a clear attempt to cut off the lifeline and undermine his ability to remain on his ancestral land inherited from his forefathers.

This incident is part of a systematic policy exposed by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, which documented the demolition of around 50 Palestinian water wells and the poisoning of livestock since the beginning of 2024. The goal is to dry up sources of livelihood, destroy historic crops such as olive and grape cultivation, and create a hostile environment that forces Palestinians to leave their lands for settlement expansion.

Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since — including more than 200 children.

For generations, modern farming has relied heavily on energy-intensive synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. But groundbreaking work by one scientist is proving that nature’s own microbes can replace much of that dependence.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a Brazilian microbiologist, has been named the 2025 World Food Prize Laureate for her pioneering research on biological nitrogen fixation. Her decades-long work shows how beneficial soil bacteria can naturally deliver nitrogen to crops, dramatically reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

Nitrogen is vital for plant growth, but producing synthetic versions is costly and emits massive amounts of greenhouse gases. Hungria dedicated more than 40 years to studying rhizobia — bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with legume roots (such as soybeans and beans). These microbes convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form plants can use, in exchange for sugars from the crop.

Her practical innovations have delivered impressive results. Treating soybean seeds with specially selected rhizobia strains has increased yields by up to 8% while cutting fertilizer use. She also advanced the use of Azospirillum brasilense, another bacterium that enhances nitrogen uptake and promotes growth through natural hormone production.

The impact has been transformative. Today, Hungria’s microbial inoculants are applied across more than 99 million acres (40 million hectares) of Brazilian farmland. This approach is estimated to save farmers around $25 billion each year in fertilizer costs and prevent more than 230 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually.

When she began her career, many doubted that microbes could meaningfully compete with industrial fertilizers. Thanks to her persistence, Brazil has become a global leader in sustainable agriculture — proving that tiny bacteria can play a giant role in feeding the world more efficiently and cleanly.

Imagine if Iran bombed a children's cancer hospital in the United States, what would you call it? TERRORISTS

The United States just bombed a children's cancer hospital, why do you call it “PEACE”?

Bombing a hospital is a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Este niño palestino se llama Sami Abu Qasim, solo tiene 3 años y ya es huérfano, esta mañana "Israel" asesinó a su padre, a su madre y a su hermana de 6 años, en un bombardeo en Deir al-Balah, en el centro de Gaza.

Sami fue el único superviviente, vio a su familia morir y fue encontrado saliendo gateando de los escombros mientras el fuego arrasaba su casa.

Otra vida destruida por "Israel"... pero si luego crece y lucha contra los asesinos de su familia, le llamarán "terrorista".

Norway is leading the push to suspend Israel from FIFA. The campaign is being led by the Norwegian Football Federation and its president, Lise Klaveness, a former national team player, lawyer, and UEFA executive committee member.

Instead of calling for boycotts, Klaveness is pushing football's governing bodies to act. She says the rules should be applied equally: if Russia was suspended after invading Ukraine, Israel should face the same consequences.

Norway has backed efforts to suspend Israel from FIFA over the genocide in the Gaza Strip, discrimination against Palestinian athletes, and Israeli football clubs playing in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

In the autumn of 1942, a slight, 32-year-old Polish social worker named Irena Sendler passed through the gates of the Warsaw Ghetto with a carpenter’s toolbox in her arms. Beneath the hammers and nails lay a drugged six-month-old infant, breathing softly, utterly silent. One cry would have meant instant death for both of them. Irena smiled at the guards; they waved her through. They never suspected that this quiet woman would repeat the journey 2,499 more times.

The ghetto was a slow-motion extermination. Starvation, disease, and random murder stalked every street. Jewish parents faced a choice no human being should ever have to make: keep their child and watch them waste away, or hand them to a stranger who promised a chance—however thin—at life.

Irena came officially to inspect for typhus. In reality, she came to steal children from death.

Babies left in toolboxes or ambulances under false bottoms. Toddlers sedated and tucked into potato sacks. Older children led by the hand through the stinking, lightless sewers while German boots marched overhead. “Not a sound,” she whispered as rats scurried past their feet.

She knew that the rescued children would be given new names, new religions, new families. Their pasts would vanish unless someone remembered. So, on fragile scraps of tissue paper, Irena wrote each child’s real name, their parents’ names, and their new hiding place. She rolled the papers tight, slipped them into glass jars, and buried them beneath an apple tree in a neighbor’s garden. If she were caught and killed, the truth might still survive.

She was caught.

On October 20, 1943, the Gestapo kicked in her door. They took her to Pawiak Prison and demanded the list. When she refused, they smashed both her legs with iron bars. Then her feet. Then her arms. For weeks the beatings continued. She never spoke. They scheduled her execution. On the appointed morning, guards dragged the broken woman from her cell.

Instead of a firing squad, she found herself outside the prison walls—alive. The Polish underground council Żegota had bribed a guard to mark her file “shot while trying to escape.” Officially dead, Irena Sendler limped back into the shadows to keep working.When the war finally ended, the first thing she did was dig up the jars under the apple tree. She spent years trying to return the children—now scattered across convents, farms, and foster homes—to whatever family might remain.

Almost no parents had survived. But the children had. Because of her, 2,500 Jewish boys and girls lived to grow up, to marry, to have children and grandchildren of their own—an entire secret branch of the human family tree that the Nazis never managed to cut down.For decades her story stayed buried deeper than the jars themselves. Then, in 1999, four high-school girls in rural Kansas stumbled across a brief mention of her name. They found the old woman still living quietly in Warsaw and brought her courage back into the light.

Journalists called her the greatest rescuer of the Holocaust. Irena only shook her head.“I could have saved more,” she said. “That regret follows me to the grave.”Irena Sendler—armed with nothing but a ghetto work permit, a toolbox, and a refusal to look away—proved that even in the heart of the worst evil humanity has ever devised, one determined person can still keep the darkness from winning completely.

Generosity guided by wisdom.

Reflecting on the perfect balance in the character of the Promised Messiah (as), Beloved Huzoor (aba) said:

“The Promised Messiah (as), following the noble example of his Benefactor and Master, the Holy Prophet (sa), was the very embodiment of generosity and munificence. Nevertheless, on certain occasions, out of wisdom and expediency, he would refrain from giving to those who sought assistance.”

HE WAS ONLY RIDING HIS BIKE... BUT THAT DAY, HE BECAME SOMEONE'S LIFELINE

When a 14-year-old saw an elderly woman struggling under the scorching Arizona sun... he didn't just notice her. He chose to help.

In June 2026, in Gilbert, Arizona, teenager Royal Cothrun was riding his bicycle when he spotted 75-year-old Teresa Morgan walking alone, confused, and visibly affected by the extreme 103°F heat.

Instead of passing by, Royal stopped.

He gently guided her to a shaded area, stayed calm, and patiently spoke with her until she was able to remember her son Jeff's phone number.

Using his own phone, he called for help and stayed with her until her family and emergency responders arrived.

Teresa had recently been diagnosed with dementia and had unknowingly wandered far from home after a grocery trip.

Royal's actions were more than quick thinking...

...they showed empathy, patience, and genuine care for another person.

Stories like this are also a reminder to parents everywhere: raising a kind child means teaching them to notice others, to care, and to understand that every person deserves compassion.

The most powerful antibiotic you’ve never heard of was sitting under scientists’ noses for decades.

A team from the University of Warwick and Monash University has discovered a hidden molecule that’s over 100 times stronger than existing antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria like MRSA and VRE. It’s called pre-methylenomycin C lactone – and it was quietly lurking inside a well-known bacterium studied since the 1950s.

Streptomyces coelicolor is a familiar name in microbiology, known for producing the antibiotic methylenomycin A. But no one had tested the intermediate compounds created during its production – until now.

By deleting specific genes in the bacterium’s biosynthetic pathway, researchers uncovered two previously unknown intermediates. One of them, pre-methylenomycin C lactone, turned out to be a game-changer: 100x more active against Gram-positive bacteria than methylenomycin A.

The compound worked exceptionally well against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), two of the deadliest superbugs on the World Health Organization’s priority list. Even more promising: in lab tests, the bacteria didn’t develop resistance to the compound – a rare outcome in antimicrobial research.

I am from Gaza, and I never imagined that one day I would reach where I am today.

Now I am standing among the mountains of Switzerland, looking around in amazement and trying to understand that this view is real. These are the same mountains I used to see only on my phone screen, and today they are right in front of my eyes. I am standing among them and breathing their air.

Sometimes I ask myself: Am I really outside Gaza? Am I truly here, living moments that once seemed so distant and impossible? I feel such deep amazement that I can hardly believe what my own eyes are seeing.

Everything here is beautiful and peaceful, but my heart does not feel complete. From the bottom of my heart, I wish my family were here beside me to share this moment. I wish I could see the wonder and happiness in their eyes, and that we could stand together in front of this beauty.

I am grateful that I made it here, but my happiness will remain incomplete as long as my family is far away from me. I hope the day comes when we can all be together again in a safe place and experience a moment like this together, without fear or pain.
