Headline: “It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive” Wins Emmy for Outstanding Hard News Feature (Democracy Now !, 2024-09-26)
———
“Palestinian journalist #Bisan Owda has won a News and Documentary #Emmy for her AJ+ report ‘It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive.’ A group of Hollywood celebrities and pro-Israel groups unsuccessfully attempted to disqualify Owda’s widely acclaimed report, which chronicles her family’s forced evacuation of their home in Beit Hanoun after Israel launched its assault on Gaza.”

One dead and several missing after 'unprecedented' rains in Japan (BBC, 2024-09-21)
———
“One person has died and seven others are missing, officials said, after ‘unprecedented’ rains caused floods and landslides in the coastal quake-hit region of Ishikawa in northern Japan.”
“Wajima and Suzu, in central Japan's Noto peninsula, were among the areas hardest hit by a huge 7.5 magnitude earthquake on New Years Day that killed at least 236 people.
“The region is still recovering from the powerful quake which had toppled buildings, ripped up roads and sparked a major fire.”
This slow recovering is mainly due to reluctance and incompetence of both the local & national government.

When Germany targets Jewish artists as antisemitic (DW, 2024-09-12)
———
“Ever since the German parliament passed its 2019 resolution condemning the BDS movement as antisemitic, different cultural institutions in the country have been uninviting planned guests or cancelling awards, preemptively attempting to avoid controversy and accusations of antisemitism.
“The phenomenon became even more pronounced after the start of the Israel-Hamas war…”
“At the end of August, an open letter signed by prominent Jewish artists and intellectuals was published …, it has collected more than 150 signatories. In it, they express their deep concerns about the draft resolution, which ’claims to protect Jewish life in Germany. It promises instead to endanger it.’

Last December the Pope already named it as it is:

Pope condemns attacks on civilians in Gaza: ‘It is war; it is terrorism’ (Vatican News, 2023-12-17)
... which, doesn't seem to find the resonance it deserves.

Western ambassadors to skip Nagasaki memorial after Israel snub (Daily Tribune, 2024-08-07)
———
“Ambassadors from Western countries including the United States will skip a ceremony marking the 79th anniversary of the bombing of #Nagasaki after Israel was snubbed, officials said Wednesday.
“Nagasaki's mayor last week said that Israel's ambassador Gilad Cohen was not invited to Friday's event in the southern Japanese city because of the risk of possible protests over the Gaza conflict.
“The US and British embassies said on Tuesday that their ambassadors would not take part as a result, and that their countries would be represented by lower-ranking diplomats.
“Media reports said that Australia, Italy, Canada and the European Union, who together with the US, Britain and Germany signed a strongly worded joint letter to Nagasaki's mayor last month, would follow suit.”

I'm a #UCLA professor. Why didn't the administration stop last night's egregious violence? : The university should have anticipated Tuesday night’s chaos — but security personnel were nowhere to be found（Opinion by David N. Myers | Forward, 2024-05-01）
------
"What makes last night all the more inexplicable was that the university had, over the weekend, seen a haunting warning of what could happen."
"... even they were greeted with insulting words from the other [Pro-Israeli] side, as were members of a small contingent of a local chapter of Standing Together who came bearing signs calling for peace and equality for Palestinians and Jews."
"Before Tuesday ... In the face of immense pressure, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block managed to keep the peace."
"... There has also been increasing pressure on the university from outside forces, including the Jewish Federation, to act more forcefully against the demonstrators."
