Secondo gli economisti di UBS, oggi il dazio medio ponderato degli USA è al 15%, contro il 2,5% di un anno fa. Produrrebbe entrate doganali per 480 miliardi di dollari contro gli 80 miliardi dello scorso anno. Equivalenti a un aumento di imposte pari a 1-1,5% del Pil



Republicans are starting to look like fragile snowflakes that are using the power of the government to stifle speech. For whatever reason, the president and his cronies seem to be afraid of a message written to in shells on a beach. axios.com/2025/05/15/ex-fbi-ch…








In many parts of the world, people often wonder why Israel is considered immune to global scrutiny and accountability, and why it considers itself above criticism.

More specifically, why is Israel an exception to all the rules and norms that define the international post-war liberal order?

The past two years have placed the phenomenon of Israeli exceptionalism at the front and centre of any critique of Israel and its actions.

Many people in Gaza have shared what they believed to be their final message yesterday, as Israel's siege intensified following the decision in parliament to take over the entire Gaza strip, as well as demonstrations surrounding May 15th occurring, the Nakba remembrance day.

Current numbers say that 143 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes in yesterday's attacks alone, with dozens still missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The Nakba, an ethnic cleansing that launched 1947 by predecessors of the IDF, “only” violently displaced 750.000 people.

The currently ongoing Gaza genocide has already displaced over 1.900.000 people, and killed 53.000 people (lowest estimate), whilst the largest offensive has yet to start.

I wonder how many Palestinians will be murdered for daring to remember the current genocide.

Another night of horror and destruction in Gaza.
Intense aerial and artillery bombardment, accompanied by continuous gunfire from occupation forces.
What is happening now is not like before. the bombing is more ferocious. This is a phase unlike any before it, even though everything we have experienced before was repeated death.
This is not just a war.it is an attempt to completely strangle a city bleeding at every corner.

„The only moral thing Palestinian civilians can do apparently is to die. The only legal thing the rest of us can do is to watch them die. And be silent. If not, we risk our scholarships, grants, lecture fees and livelihoods.”

The Israeli occupation authorities banned Muslim Palestinian worshippers from performing the fajr – dawn – prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron this morning, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

Local sources said that Israeli occupation forces fired stun grenades at the worshippers and forced them to perform their prayers outside the mosque.

Israel launched a new ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday under the cover of heavy bombardment, killing and wounding scores of Palestinians.

At least 100 people were killed and many more wounded, including women and children, during a “bloody night” of relentless attacks.

Aerial and artillery bombardment, along with naval shelling, targeted various areas in the northwest of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces committed a massacre in northern Gaza on the early morning of Saturday. Artillery shells struck displaced Palestinians as they fled western Beit Lahia. Israeli troops had earlier forced them to evacuate the area.

Dozens remain missing under collapsed buildings. Ambulances have been unable to reach the wounded due to heavy Israeli fire.

Voices of injured people trapped beneath the debris can still be heard.
