Today’s Bonus Daily Cartoon, by Dan Misdea. #NewYorkerCartoons
There are no Pakistanis ‘debating joining Abraham Accords’. There’s a handful of hasbara shills on the Internet pretending there’s a debate – even as the bodies of Gaza’s shredded children are livestreamed to their phones. The only moral response is to spit in their face.
Pakistanis are debating joining #AbrahamAccords. Shady interest groups have sprung up re to scare Pakistanis: politicians will lose vote, terror group recruitment will spike, etc. The best counter-arguments I've seen are: - We have no conflict with Israel - If we can have…
The ex-tribal areas were promised Rs. 100b, rights, restitution, and an end to collective punishment – after enduring constant mil ops. When so little has been done, to shrug and revert to the old ways – de-merging FATA-KP, reviving jirgas – is to seriously hurt the federation.
There is no moral difference between putting people in gas chambers and burning people in school shelters inside classrooms. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.
ANP first said not to upend the people’s mandate in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; Ameer Hoti’s now refused reserved seats. Laudable, democratic stands. Hopefully ANP sticks to them. And hopefully PTI starts sitting down with civilians for a change.
پی ٹی آئی سے لاکھ اختلافات ہوں، مگر مخصوص نشستیں ان کا حق تھیں۔ ہماری جماعت کے فیصلے اپنے فورمز پر ہوں گے، مگر میرا مشورہ ہے کہ ایک ہو یا دو، ایسی نشستوں سے انکار کیا جائے۔ یہی اصولی مؤقف ہے
We have to rage against normalisation This is the holocaust of our time The moment you become numb to it, you lose your humanity None of this is normal
Nonstop Israeli bombardment. At least an airstrike or artillery shell hits every five minutes. Since dawn, nearly 120 Palestinians have been killed in these unrelenting attacks
How to lose an election but still win two-thirds in Pakistan: dawn.com/news/1921060/h… Piece today on the reserved seats disaster-within-disaster: how the original SC verdict restored the people's will, and how a 12-member review reversed a bench of 13 for the first time.
Commenting on the short order, SIC's lead counsel Faisal Siddiqi said, "This judgment shows the dark ghost of [Justice Qazi] Faez Isa is alive and kicking. The journey from stealing the general election to stealing the reserved seats is complete. tribune.com.pk/story/2553085/…
If the reserved seats verdict was handed down last year by a 13-member bench, it follows that the review should also be heard by a 13-member bench. But now that a judge has recused himself today, how is a 12-member bench competent to review the original verdict?
Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I Article 54, in one picture.
The UN is imploding in the same way as its predecessor the League of Nations, and for much the same reasons.
What’s the point of having institutions like the UN and IAEA if the moment the U.S. gets itchy fingers, every law, written or moral, magically vanishes? All we get is a round of condemnations, a couple of think pieces, and then the usual ‘America is exceptional’…Exceptional at…
History is replete with empires that overreached in pursuit of grandiose imperial visions like the one Donald Trump is pursuing right now in Iran. Things never end well for such empires. Read: jacobin.com/2025/06/trump-…
