The Telegraph: China’s reef stunt seems minor. But we know from Crimea 2014 how this ends
Chinese Coastguard sailors recently landed on a small, uninhabited island in the South China Sea, raised their flag, and claimed it was to assert sovereignty and document alleged illegal activities by the Philippines. This action, while militarily insignificant, continues China's pattern of disregarding international norms.
The incident reflects a broader trend of assertive territorial claims by China, reminiscent of Russia's flag-planting at the North Pole. Such actions, though minor in scale, contribute to ongoing tensions in the region.
Times Of Israel: Hamas chiefs’ correspondence shows how Israel misjudged results of May 2021 clash
Newly uncovered documents from Hamas indicate that the group perceived Israel's 2021 military operation as a defeat, contrary to Israeli claims of success. Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh discussed strategies to exploit this perceived victory, advocating for a long-term ceasefire to weaken Israel's international standing.
Despite Israel's belief that it had deterred Hamas, the terror group launched a significant attack on October 7, 2023, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and hostages. This has prompted Israel to initiate a large-scale military response aimed at dismantling Hamas's control in Gaza.

The reflection highlights the theme of patience and disbelief among Jesus's followers as recounted in Luke's gospel. Despite Jesus predicting his death and resurrection, his disciples were shocked and confused upon hearing of his return, struggling to believe even when he appeared before them.
This narrative underscores the challenges of faith and understanding in the face of miraculous events. It serves as a reminder of the human tendency to doubt, even in the presence of clear evidence.

Fox News: Conservative Harvard professor says liberal colleagues resent activists, calls on school to shun federal funds
James Hankins, a conservative professor at Harvard, suggests the university should decrease its reliance on federal funds to avoid government influence. He argues that the current budget issues stem from the Trump administration's funding cuts, exacerbated by campus activism that many faculty members disapprove of.
Hankins believes that strengthening ties with alumni would better serve Harvard's mission of education and research, rather than depending on federal support. He notes that many colleagues share his frustration with the activism disrupting academic work.

Breitbart: New York Man Charged with Hiding Role in Rwandan Genocide
Faustin Nsabumukunzi, a 65-year-old man from New York, has been charged with concealing his involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide to obtain U.S. citizenship. He pleaded not guilty to visa and naturalization fraud and was released on bail with conditions including home detention.
