Recent events at Columbia University have ignited a series of student protests across the United States, with significant implications for freedom of speech and academic policy. Last week, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik's decision to involve the NYPD, which resulted in the arrest of dozens of students at a protest encampment, has not only intensified these protests but also highlighted broader societal and political reactions.

Recent discoveries in Gaza have exposed the harsh realities of prolonged conflict, revealing mass graves at two prominent medical facilities: the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis and Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. These grim findings have sparked international outrage and prompted calls for an investigation into potential violations of international humanitarian law by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The genocide inflicted on the population of Gaza by the Israeli Defence Forces has led to a devastating human toll, with local health officials reporting over 33,360 Palestinians killed and another 75,993 injured across Gaza.
