Significant Events:
- “The Biden administration faces mounting pressure over its provision of powerful weapons to Israel, with the spiraling death toll in Gaza deepening questions about whether the United States, as the country’s chief military backer, must do more to ensure civilians’ safety.” Washington Post
- “How Putin is reshaping Russia to keep his war-machine running He is creating a class of wealthy bureaucrats, who are the war’s biggest supporters … To justify his reconstruction of the Russian economy and to explain away his lack of military successes, Mr Putin is reframing the war as one not with Ukraine, but with the West, in which Ukraine is simply “a battering ram” used to pummel Russia. New history textbooks explain to pupils that Russia has always been and will always be in a state of war with the West. This narrative allows Mr Putin to depict everyday activities as a triumph.” The Economist
- “As Fury Erupts Over Campus Antisemitism, Conservatives Seize the Moment Republicans have been attacking elite universities for years. After a tense congressional hearing last week, many on the left are joining them.” NY Times
