“Israel destroyed Gaza. Why must #Israel destroy my second home?...The same method: Evacuations. Relentless bombing. Uncertainty. It is war.” As Israel pounds #Lebanon, #Gazans empathize, yet feel forgotten. By Ghada Abdulfattah & @Taylor_Luck @csmonitor csmonitor.com/World/Middle-E…

I will never forget the global embrace we felt when Iraqi militants kidnapped our @csmonitor colleague in 2006 for nearly three months. It's been 4x that long for @evangershkovich & @WSJ.
Time to #FreeEvan, arrested by Russia on 3/29/23 despite being accredited by Russia.
My colleague Evan Gershkovich has spent ONE YEAR in a Russian prison-- and still has no trial date in sight.
If you could watch, share and help us raise awareness about his wrongful detention, we would be so grateful:

Despite calls by the #Biden Administration for the #Israeli government to rein in far-right settler attacks on unarmed #Palestinians, weeks later violent attacks are still taking place across the #WestBank
How do I know?
I witnessed one live.

I’ve spent much of this year learning about car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks.
What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden.

"Our cars are increasingly connected and computerized, collecting as much as 25 gigabytes an hour of data. They may send that data to data brokers, and it can be difficult if not impossible to stop them."

I'm not one for "scramble" and "race for" Africa frames, I must say. What do Africans think of all of this? What of lasting value will their countries get out of this activity?

A newsletter reader just introduced me to @csmonitor's categorization of news articles by the values they represent. Options include compassion, cooperation, etc.
