Front Page Magazine: Women are 'Sexists' for Not Voting for Kamala
The New York Times attributes Kamala Harris's electoral loss to sexism, suggesting that the U.S. is not ready for a female president. This claim is backed by assertions from figures like Bill Clinton, who argue that conservatives are the most resistant to female candidates.
However, critics argue that Harris's poor performance, particularly among female voters, indicates deeper issues beyond gender. Some Democrats are concerned that nominating a woman in 2028 could be detrimental, as Harris's candidacy did not resonate, highlighting that the electorate's concerns may be more about policy than gender.

Times Of Israel: ICJ takes up UN request for advisory opinion on Israel’s UNRWA ban
Israel is set to face scrutiny from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding its recent legislation that bans the operations of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. The UN General Assembly has requested an advisory opinion on Israel's obligations to facilitate aid to Palestinians, with written statements due by February 2025.
The Israeli legislation, which prohibits state agencies from interacting with UNRWA, is based on allegations of the agency's ties to terrorist activities. Critics argue that the measures violate international law, while supporters maintain that Israel is not obligated to cooperate with an organization that has allegedly engaged in criminal behavior. The implications of this legislation could severely hinder humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza.

Front Page Magazine: Did WHO Officials In the Intel Comm Suppress FBI COVID Lab Leak Theory?
The COVID era saw a dominant narrative that suppressed dissenting views on the origins of the virus, with claims about masks and zoonotic transfer overshadowing the lab leak theory. Reports indicate that experts from the FBI and DIA who supported the lab theory faced significant pushback and suppression of their findings.
The National Intelligence Council shaped the official narrative, often dismissing the lab leak theory despite evidence suggesting otherwise. This conflict within intelligence agencies raises concerns about the influence of external consultants and the integrity of national security discussions.
Le Monde: France grapples with Francophone Africa's growing push for sovereignty
Emmanuel Macron, in a 2017 speech in Burkina Faso, declared the end of a traditional French policy for Africa, advocating for a new relationship based on partnership and respect. He aimed to resonate with younger Africans seeking sovereignty, distancing himself from past colonial ties.
Despite his intentions, critics argue that Macron's approach reflects a contradiction between his rhetoric and actual practices, leaving many Africans skeptical of genuine change. The legacy of "Françafrique" complicates his efforts to redefine relations with the continent.
