In September 1972, a Palestinian commando unit took the Israeli Olympic team hostage in Munich. Then, as now, the German state responded with a wave of aggressive racist repression.

While racism is frequently attributed solely to the right-wing AfD, the last 23 months have made it clear that the AfD represents only the nationalist end of a much broader, deeply racist coalition stretching from the so-called “progressive” and “greens” parties to the far right.

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin on September 1, 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met and publicly framed the relationship as “partners, not rivals.”

Two moves gave the reset substance, not just optics. First, India and China re-activated the Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary question in New Delhi on August 19, 2025, and second, they agreed to restart direct flights and expand people-to-people and business links, after a five-year freeze. These are communications channels that reduce miscalculation and restore some weight to a battered relationship.

🇵🇸 #BREAKING | The Global Sumud Flotilla announced that its ship "Family" was attacked, with many suggesting it may have been a drone.

She also warned of the serious consequences if investigations do reveal that Israel was behind the attack.

Today, on her birthday, we celebrate Ruby Bridges, the first African-American child who attended an all-white elementary school in the United States South in 1960. While segregation in public schools had been ruled illegal by the US Supreme Court in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education case, it was not enforced in many places.

Bridges, at a very young age, had to endure vicious attacks and threats from white parents and community members. Bridges attended the all-white school escorted by US marshals to prevent attacks.

Bridges is turning 71 today.
