How Hindu nationalists hunt down Christians for forced conversions in India | DW News

Violence against Christians has been on the rise in India ever since the Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, came to power in 2014. That's according to the rights group United Christian Forum. It says there were more than 800 attacks on Christians last year - a nearly sevenfold increase in a decade. Among the victims are members of India's Adivasi community, many of whom converted to Christianity decades ago.
Much of the violence is concentrated in India’s Bastar region of Chhattisgarh state. DW Correspondent Adil Bhat traveled there to document the religious tensions, and witnessed efforts by right-wing nationalists to push conversions to Hinduism.

Il governo israeliano sta usando l’annessione della Cisgiordania come minaccia contro gli stati che intendono riconoscere lo stato palestinese thesubmarine.it/2025/09/01/il-…

Il governo Netanyahu progetta l’annessione del 60% della Cisgiordania

Un retroscena del Times of Israel riporta che durante l’ultima riunione del gabinetto di sicurezza del governo Netanyahu VI si è discusso dell’escalation contro la città di Gaza, e della possibilità di annettere parti della Cisgiordania. Il governo non ha discusso invece, eventuali accordi o soluzioni che avrebbero potuto portare al rilascio dei prigionieri israeliani ancora a Gaza, tant’è che alla riunione non è stato invitato il maggior generale Nitzan Alon, che è responsabile per le IDF dei negoziati sui prigionieri. Della possibilità di annettere formalmente parti della Cisgiordania si parlava da qualche giorno — i ministri della destra più estrema del governo vorrebbero che il processo di annessione fosse almeno avviato prima dell’Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite, la cui sessione durerà dal 9 al 29 settembre. Axios ne ha parlato con tre funzionari israeliani, statunitensi e comunitari, che hanno confermato che la conversazione nel governo Netanyahu è seria. La variabile principale è la posizione di Trump: durante la propria prima amministrazione Trump aveva fermato due volte le aspirazioni coloniali di Tel Aviv sulla Cisgiordania, ma i funzionari israeliani ora scommettono che gli si possa far cambiare idea, giocando sulla collera del presidente contro gli alleati che hanno deciso di rompere con gli Stati Uniti per riconoscere lo stato palestinese. La minaccia possibilità di annettere parti della Cisgiordania è stata espressa anche direttamente agli stati europei che hanno intenzione di riconoscere lo stato palestinese: un funzionari europeo ha rivelato che il ministro degli Affari strategici Dermer avrebbe indicato che Tel Aviv potrebbe decidere di annettere tutta l’“Area C” della Cisgiordania — l’equivalente del 60% del territorio totale.

A postwar plan for Gaza circulating within President Donald Trump's White House envisions demolishing the strip, confiscating all public land within it, paying small amounts to remove the entire population of more than 2 million Palestinians, and building "a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub" on its ruins, The Washington Post reported on 31 August.

A leaked plan circulating within the Trump administration proposes forcibly removing Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians and turning the enclave into a US-controlled ‘economic hub’.

The scheme, called the ‘Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (GREAT Trust)’, would replace Gaza’s native population with a new workforce and tourists while creating luxury resorts, high-tech cities, and industrial zones.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🛠️🏭 Ever wonder why we have weekends? Thank the Labor Movement. During the Industrial Revolution, factory workers organized unions to fight brutal working conditions—low pay, long hours, dangerous workplaces. Their efforts established the 40-hour work week, weekend time off, and child #labor laws we benefit from today.

New plans for a National Commission on electoral reform for Westminster have been set out by an all-party group today.

"The 2024 general election delivered the most disproportionate result in British history."

"A majority government [was] elected on one third of the popular vote (the lowest share ever to deliver a majority of seats), the electorate is fragmented between more parties than ever, and there is a record mismatch between the make-up of Parliament and the votes cast by the public."

AI chatbots are blowing up the 30-year economic relationship publishers have had with search engines. Many think this will kill the web if not addressed. Google needs to change first. It's resisting.
