Every day is fast becoming a killing day as if there is no morally conscientious humanity, no responsible leaders and no legitimate systems of political governance accountable for wrong actions. Evil and insanity are not imaginary but real and happening across the globe, be it Gaza, West Bank Palestine, Lebanon, Ukraine-Russia unwarranted war and must be stopped to protect innocent human lives. The US administration supports bombardments of civilian in south Lebanon, occupation of Palestine, crimes against humanity and Israeli genocide. Do the Arab leaders have deafening minds, eyes and ears?
All global institutions of peace, security and conflict resolution appear broken and sidelined by egomaniac politicians. Mankind feels helpless as its freedom and future is at stake. The increasing impacts of the US-Iran war depicts an insecure Arab Middle East without public institutions and responsible leadership. Daily bombardments, forced displacements of Palestinians affirm the planned operation and working of Greater Israel with American supplied weapons and complicity. Shamefully, Arab-Muslim leaders failed to protect their people and culture from Western instigated aggression. Comparative analysis often unfolds hidden truths about human nature and its wickedness. Are there any global leaders of human conscience to extend security and protection of life to the masses of Gaza? There is a vital issue of ethnicity and Arabs were and remained colonized by the Western world. Are there any international organizations to help avert the catastrophic bloodbath in progress across Gaza and the occupied West Bank? Were the Geneva Conventions and International Humanitarian Laws just paper-based, dry inked narratives without any power to serve the cause of humanity? How come the Arab-Muslim leaders are nowhere to be seen on this planet to defend the cause of Faith and protect Palestinians from Israeli-American sponsored war of extermination?
The Earth (A LIVING ENTITY) being bombed is the earth given to mankind by God as a "TRUST." DO YOU NOT SEE IT FLOATING IN SPACE JUST BY THE COMMAND OF GOD? WHEREVER THERE IS A TRUST, THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY. When evil-mongers and wrong-doers violate the sanctity of the Laws of God, they are held accountable - history tells without any prejudice. This author has walked through the ancient graveyards of so many nations used to claim being the "most powerful “on this earth - dead bones and silent forever and nothing else. The succeeding generations CURSE them for their crimes against humanity. THE GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS APPEAR BROKEN AND DYSFUNCTIONAL TO STOP THE INSANITY. If you don’t believe in the encompassing truth, just view the real “genocide pictures” presented by Editor Rosa on Transcend Media, September 8, 2025: https://www.transcend.org/tms/2025/09/genocide-in-pictures-worth-a-trillion-words-66/
Are the American - Israeli Leaders above International Laws and Accountability?
The besieged 2.5 million people of Gaza by Israeli forces blocking food, fuel, water, medicine and bombed hospitals portray clear pictures of tormenting pains, horrors and massive devastation planned and carried out as the global community witnesses in deaf silence as if the masses of Gaza are not normal human beings. The world is not infinite but subject to time and destiny. God, The All Knowing and Merciful has defined the roles and responsibilities of its creations. Would the Western nations hold Israeli PM Netanyahu and President Trump accountable for their insanity against the people of Palestine? The women and children of Gaza cry out loud asking for humanitarian help if there are any Arab, Muslim or Western leaders to rescue them from extreme deprivation, starvation and planned extermination. Their cries end-up in deaf silence as no Western, Arab or Muslim leaders respond to their pains and horrors inflicted daily by the Israeli forces. Remember! Those challenging the Laws of God are chastised by the Laws of God without exception. Are they waiting to meet the same end as did Pharaoh at the Red Sea? The Egyptians, Qataris, the UAE’s and Saudis and others carry no strength or political value in global context and appear morally, intellectually and politically bankrupts a scum floating on a torrent of naive puppets and discredited leaders.

Israel so far, has dropped more than 70,000 ton of bombs on Gaza- more insane than what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War 2. The earth is living and spins at 1670 km per hour and orbits the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. Imagine, if this spinning fails, what consequences could occur to the living beings on Earth. Think again, about the average distance of earth from the moon is 238,855 miles (384,400 km), equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units. Earth is a “trust” to mankind for its existence, sustenance of life, survival, progress and future-making. The Earth exists and floats without any pillars in a capsule by the Will of God, so, “Fear God Who created life and death.” Is human intelligence still intact to understand this reality? Wherever there is trust, there is accountability. All human beings are accountable for their actions. The Divine warning (The Quran: 7: 56), warns:Do no mischief on the Earth after it hath been set in order, but call on God with fear and longing in hearts; For the Mercy of God is always near to those who do good.
The Divine Message (Quran:40:64), clarifies:
It is God Who made for you the Earth as a resting place and the sky as a canopy; And has given you shape and made your shapes beautiful, And has provided for your Sustenance, of things pure and good; Such is God your Lord. So Glory to God, The Lord of the Worlds.
The Jewish people (progeny of Jacob), followers of Moses were warned and prohibited of killing of innocent people as enshrined in the Ten Commandments (Torah):
'Thou shalt not kill' (Exod. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17). Jewish law views the shedding of innocent blood very seriously, and lists murder as one of three sins (along with idolatry and sexual immorality), that fall under the category of yehareg ve'al ya'avor - meaning "One should let himself be killed rather than violate it.

Sheikh Hasina’s promise to return to Bangladesh in December is the sort of political declaration that sounds, at first, like confidence. Listen more closely and it sounds like something else: a challenge thrown across a border, a refusal to accept that history has already moved on.
Two years after the extraordinary collapse of her government, Hasina remains convinced that her political story is unfinished. Speaking from India, she has again presented herself not as a defeated former prime minister but as a leader temporarily separated from her country. That distinction matters. Exile, in her telling, is an interruption. To her opponents, it is justice finally catching up.
The tragedy is that both narratives contain uncomfortable truths. Hasina presided over Bangladesh for years with the confidence of someone who had stopped believing power could ever be taken away. Her government brought economic development and a measure of stability, but political stability gradually became inseparable from political control. Opposition parties were weakened, dissent was increasingly treated as disloyalty, and institutions that should have acted as restraints appeared too often to function as extensions of the executive.
Then came the students. The protests became the political earthquake that years of managed politics had failed to predict. What began as a movement around student grievances developed into something much larger: an expression of accumulated frustration from a generation that had grown up under Hasina and no longer accepted the argument that stability justified everything.
The government's response transformed a political crisis into a national rupture. Deaths during the protests shattered whatever remaining legitimacy the authorities possessed. When Hasina finally fled, the image was brutally simple: a government that had appeared immovable had suddenly become homeless.
Now she wants to return. That promise will thrill her supporters and alarm those who remember the violence. But there is a peculiar danger in imagining that political legitimacy can be restored simply by crossing a frontier. Hasina may believe that her return would represent vindication. For many Bangladeshis, it could instead reopen wounds that have barely begun to heal.
Her conviction in absentia adds another layer of political theatre. A death sentence is an extraordinarily grave punishment, and political justice becomes particularly suspect when the accused is tried while outside the country and the country itself remains deeply polarised. Accountability is necessary after deadly repression. But accountability loses its moral force when it begins to resemble revenge.
Bangladesh therefore faces a dilemma larger than Hasina herself. It must decide whether the fall of one powerful leader will produce a healthier political system or merely replace one form of intolerance with another.
Hasina’s December pledge may prove empty, impossible or transformative. But the real question is not whether she can return. It is what kind of Bangladesh would receive her.
A democracy confident in itself should be capable of confronting its former rulers without fearing them. It should investigate abuses without turning courts into instruments of political vengeance. And it should allow even deeply unpopular politicians to exist within the political argument, provided the law is respected.
Hasina once seemed to embody the permanence of Bangladeshi politics. Now she embodies its unresolved past. Her return, if it happens, will not simply be the return of an ex-prime minister. It will be Bangladesh deciding whether it has learned anything from the moment when a government that looked permanent discovered, almost overnight, that the people had stopped applauding.
Politics has always had room for unlikely conversions, but few would have predicted that Laura Loomer might one day emerge as one of Volodymyr Zelensky's most enthusiastic advocates in Washington. If the reports surrounding her meeting with the Ukrainian president prove to mark a genuine shift rather than another tactical repositioning, they reveal something larger than the evolution of a single political influencer. They expose the fluidity and fragility of the ideological loyalties that have shaped the American right during the Ukraine war.
Loomer built much of her profile by appealing to the populist instincts of the MAGA movement, where scepticism of aid to Ukraine became increasingly fashionable. The conflict was often portrayed not as a defining battle over European security but as an expensive distraction from America's domestic challenges. Within that ecosystem, criticism of Kyiv became almost a badge of ideological purity.
Yet politics rarely stands still. If Loomer has indeed decided that supporting Ukraine better serves both American interests and Donald Trump's political future, the significance extends well beyond social media headlines. Her audience is not the Washington foreign policy establishment. It is precisely those conservative activists who have spent years dismissing Ukraine as someone else's war.
Influencers occupy a peculiar position in modern American politics. They are neither elected officials nor traditional journalists, yet they often possess greater influence over public opinion than either. They speak directly to millions without institutional filters, turning political narratives into personal loyalties. When one changes direction, followers often reconsider positions they previously regarded as unquestionable.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this reported transformation is the suggestion that Loomer's next objective is not merely supporting Zelensky but convincing Trump to loosen whatever political or psychological attachment critics believe he still has toward Vladimir Putin.
That may prove to be an impossible assignment. Trump has never fit comfortably within the traditional Republican foreign-policy framework. His worldview has consistently favoured personal relationships between powerful leaders over alliances built through institutions. He often speaks admiringly about strength, decisive leadership and deal-making, qualities he has, at various times, attributed to Putin even while criticising Russia's invasion.
Changing that instinct requires more than presenting intelligence briefings or strategic arguments. It requires persuading Trump that standing firmly behind Ukraine enhances rather than weakens his own political brand.
That is where figures like Loomer may possess unusual influence. Unlike diplomats, retired generals or establishment Republicans, she communicates in the language of Trump's political base. If she concludes that supporting Ukraine can coexist with America First politics, she offers conservative voters a bridge rather than a contradiction.
Whether they choose to cross it is another matter entirely. The MAGA coalition has never been monolithic. It contains traditional conservatives, libertarians, economic nationalists, isolationists and voters driven primarily by cultural issues. Ukraine has often functioned as a proxy debate over America's broader role in the world. Is the United States still the indispensable guarantor of international order, or should it retreat from conflicts beyond its borders?
Those questions remain unresolved. What makes Loomer's apparent reversal fascinating is not simply that she may have changed her mind. Democracies benefit when public figures reconsider positions in light of new information or personal experience. The more revealing question is whether her followers are equally willing to reconsider theirs.
Political movements frequently celebrate loyalty while treating intellectual flexibility as weakness. Yet history suggests that successful movements survive precisely because they adapt.
If Laura Loomer now believes Ukraine deserves stronger American backing, the real story is not her personal evolution. It is whether one of the loudest voices in Trump's political universe can redirect part of the movement's compass away from admiration for Putin and toward recognition that America's strategic interests may ultimately be better served by ensuring Ukraine remains free.
If that happens, the most surprising battlefield of the Ukraine war may not be in Europe at all, but inside the competing instincts of the American conservative movement itself.
The isolation of Gianni Infantino from FIFA’s member associations would be more than a sporting scandal. It would be a political weather vane. If the world’s football establishment decided that its president had become too compromised, too powerful or simply too closely identified with one political camp, the symbolism would travel far beyond Zurich. It would suggest that the era of institutional immunity is ending and that Donald Trump and his loyalists may increasingly discover that loyalty is not the same thing as permanence.
Infantino’s predicament, in this interpretation, would matter because FIFA is precisely the sort of institution that has historically been comfortable with political ambiguity. Football crosses borders, regimes and ideologies with remarkable ease. Presidents shake hands with autocrats, democratic leaders and oligarchs alike. The governing principle is usually pragmatism: keep the game moving, keep the money flowing and keep politics at arm’s length, even when politics is standing directly on the pitch.
That arrangement is becoming harder to sustain. The removal, or even serious institutional isolation, of a powerful international figure would demonstrate that global organisations are beginning to rediscover an old political lesson: leaders are temporary; institutions are supposed to survive them.
That lesson has particular relevance for Mr Trump. Trumpism has always depended partly upon the assumption that institutions can be captured faster than they can resist. Put loyalists into government, pressure independent agencies, intimidate critics, cultivate friendly media and transform every administrative dispute into a test of personal allegiance. Eventually, the machinery of government begins to resemble the political personality of its occupant.
But institutions have memories. They also have antibodies. The more aggressively a political movement tries to colonise them, the more likely it is that resistance eventually emerges from within. Courts, civil services, universities, professional associations, corporations, sporting bodies and international organisations may tolerate political pressure for a surprisingly long time. What they tend not to tolerate indefinitely is the demand that their legitimacy be subordinated to one individual.
This is where the Infantino example becomes interesting. The significance would not lie simply in one football administrator losing influence. It would lie in the visual spectacle of institutional doors closing.
There is something especially powerful about political decline when it becomes visible. A leader who once received red-carpet treatment suddenly receives a formal invitation instead of a personal welcome. Allies become cautious. Former admirers discover principles. Invitations disappear. Telephone calls are returned less enthusiastically. Officials who once competed for proximity begin calculating the risks of being photographed beside you.
Political isolation rarely arrives with a trumpet. It arrives through small bureaucratic acts. That is why the eventual reckoning with Trumpism, if it comes, may look less like a dramatic revolution than a gigantic administrative spring-cleaning.
The first casualties will not necessarily be the loudest Trump loyalists. They may be the useful ones: the administrators who convinced themselves that accommodation was merely professionalism; the executives who mistook proximity for influence; the international figures who believed that transactional politics could remain permanently transactional.
Eventually they may discover that association has a half-life. This does not mean that every Trump-aligned person should be expelled from public life. Democratic institutions cannot become machines for political purification. A genuine post-Trump settlement must distinguish between ideological disagreement, political loyalty and misconduct. Otherwise the cure becomes another form of institutional capture.
But democratic systems do need to recover the courage to enforce standards. The larger question is therefore not whether Trump or his loyalists lose particular positions. It is whether institutions regain the confidence to say that no political leader owns them.
For decades, powerful figures have benefited from the belief that global institutions are too fragmented, too compromised and too dependent on personalities to resist. The emerging lesson may be the opposite.
Institutions can be slow. They can be cowardly. They can even be corrupt. But once they begin turning away, they can become remarkably merciless. And the most consequential political clearance may begin not with an election night, but with the quiet realisation that the invitations have stopped arriving.
South Africa has opened another chapter in the long, unfinished argument over land and inevitably, over race, history and political power. A court case challenging the country’s expropriation law has begun, with the Democratic Alliance, a member of the governing coalition alongside the African National Congress, joining the challenge. The legal question is technical. The political question is anything but.
The law permits the state, under certain circumstances, to expropriate privately owned land without compensation when agreement with the owner cannot be reached. That phrase “without compensation” has become political dynamite in a country where land remains one of the most visible symbols of apartheid’s legacy.
The ANC argues, with considerable historical justification, that South Africa cannot pretend that the distribution of land was the innocent result of market forces. Generations of discriminatory laws dispossessed Black South Africans, restricted where they could live and work, and concentrated agricultural land in white hands. Democracy ended apartheid; it did not magically redistribute its economic consequences.
But history is not a blank cheque. A democratic government has to distinguish between correcting historical injustice and weakening the security of property ownership. The first is necessary. The second can become economically disastrous. Investors do not require perfect governments; they require governments whose rules can be understood and whose property rights cannot suddenly become political bargaining chips.
That is where this court case matters. The Democratic Alliance’s participation is particularly revealing. It demonstrates that opposition to the law is not simply a white conservative reflex, nor can the government dismiss critics as defenders of apartheid privilege. The governing coalition itself contains competing visions of what land reform should mean.
And then there is Donald Trump, hovering over the debate like an American megaphone. Trump has used South Africa’s land policy to support his claim that white farmers are being persecuted. That argument deserves scrutiny precisely because South Africa’s genuine problems are serious enough without importing American culture-war mythology into them.
There is a legitimate debate about expropriation. There is also a vast difference between saying that a law creates risks for property rights and claiming that South Africa is engaged in a campaign of racial persecution against white farmers. The former is a constitutional and economic argument. The latter is a political narrative and a highly combustible one.
South Africa should not allow either side to turn land into a morality play with only heroes and villains. The descendants of people dispossessed by apartheid deserve more than sympathy. They deserve meaningful access to land, housing, opportunity and wealth. Farmers who have built productive enterprises deserve predictable legal protection. Neither proposition cancels the other.
The real test is whether South Africa can pursue land reform without making ownership arbitrary, and whether it can protect property rights without making historical injustice permanent.
That is precisely why the courts matter. Land reform cannot be conducted through slogans, presidential rhetoric or foreign political grandstanding. It needs transparent rules, constitutional safeguards, competent administration and an economic strategy capable of turning redistribution into opportunity.
South Africa has spent decades arguing about who owns the land. The harder question is what kind of country that land should produce. The answer should not be revenge. It should be justice with a functioning economy attached.
The girl was small for nine, with hair the colour of dry straw and eyes that seemed to take in everything while giving nothing back. Her name was Elin, and on the first Sunday of June, she simply did not get dressed for church.
Her mother, Birgitta, stood in the doorway of the bedroom, the starched collar of her good dress cutting into her neck. The house smelled of coffee and the ironed linen that had been laid out since Friday. "Elin. The car leaves in twenty minutes."
The girl sat on the edge of her bed, still in her nightgown. She was reading a book, something about horses or maybe it was about girls who ran away. It was hard to tell from the doorway. "I'm not going."
