The Economist: Geert Wilders’s Dutch election win is a headache for Europe
Europe | Geert Wilders's Dutch election win poses a challenge for the EU as hard-right parties gain political traction. The idea of excluding populists from forming coalitions is no longer upheld, leading to the possibility of a Wilders administration and an erosion of the contrast between centrists and populists on migration policies. However, there are doubts about the impact of populists at the EU level due to disagreements among them and a tendency to moderate their promises in office. The Dutch election result could also be seen as a sign that populism is on the rise in Europe.
The Telegraph: The Washington whizz-kids changing the rules of war mapping
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) uses mapping software and satellite imagery to track and analyze conflicts such as the war between Hamas and Israel. By studying reported Israeli clearing operations and using tools like Planet Labs' imaging satellites, the ISW creates detailed maps that provide insight into the changing dynamics of war zones. The ISW's work is part of a wider open-source intelligence movement that aims to bring transparency to war through the analysis of unclassified material.

Diplomacy and notions of natural law have been replaced by technical and violent solutions, leaving the world open to resource-driven conflict and the death of diplomacy.
American Thinker: Damning Discrepancies in the NYT's Israel Coverage
The New York Times' coverage of Israel's conflict with Hamas reveals a bias against Israel, with an emphasis on Gazan suffering and omissions of Hamas' role in causing the crisis. The NYT fails to provide context and balance, and gives more coverage to Gazan incidents while downplaying Israeli ones.
