Canada’s Liberal party says budget of ‘sacrifice’ needed to avoid recession
Canada’s ruling Liberal party has said a budget of “sacrifice” is required to confront both a trade war with the US and a protracted cost of living crisis that threatens to push the country into a recession. But with opposition parties signalling they won’t support the fiscal plans of the prime minister, Mark Carney, a failed parliamentary vote on the budget could plunge the country into another federal election in the coming weeks.

American Arab group sues over California’s new antisemitism law
The new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, does not define antisemitism but gives educators the impression that they could be charged with discrimination “if they expose their students to ideas, information, and instructional materials that may be considered critical of the State of Israel and the philosophy of Zionism,” according to the complaint.

EU backs Czech Republic’s anti-communist crackdown — KKE exposes hypocrisy
A new escalation of the anti-communist offensive in the European Union is underway, this time with the Czech government preparing an operation to further criminalize the dissemination, support and defense of communist ideology — and the EU proving yet again its hypocrisy and tolerance for such reactionary measures. The alarming developments were raised in the European Parliament by Kostas Papadakis, MEP of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), who exposed the Czech authorities’ plan to equate communist ideas with so-called “totalitarianism” and to apply harsh criminal sanctions.

Money, mercenaries and mayhem: How Israel and UAE are investing in regional chaos
In the flickering twilight of El-Fasher, a child clutches a soot-covered doll beside a pile of ashes where her home once stood. Mothers huddle in the corridors of the last functioning hospital, terrified that the next drone strike will claim the wounded they tend. Fathers dig graves with their hands, burying children in the courtyards of shattered schools. For 18 months, the city endured a siege that stripped it of food, water, and life. When its gates finally fell, it was not liberation that entered. It was annihilation. Witnesses speak of men dragged from their homes, women and children executed in the streets, hospitals shelled while terrified civilians sheltered inside. Human Rights Watch has documented scenes of mass killings, burning, and looting. The UN has described the assault as a "campaign of extermination". And behind the force that carried out this atrocity stands a patron whose fingerprints stain every front of Sudan’s war: the United Arab Emirates. If the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are the visible executioners, the hand that directs them is Abu Dhabi’s. It has poured cash, weapons, and political cover into the war machine of RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo - known as Hemeti - igniting a conflict that has torn Sudan apart.

It’s No Surprise That Tommy Robinson Loves Israel
British far-right activist Tommy Robinson has just wrapped up his tour of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Invited by Israel’s diaspora minister, Robinson visited the Nova Festival Memorial, met Tel Aviv–based anti-immigration activist Sheffi Paz, traveled to the West Bank settlement of Shilo, and conducted multiple interviews for his social media channels. During the visit, Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed that he had gained a better understanding of the prejudice that Jews face — although this didn’t stop him from attacking Jewish organizations in Britain for supposedly encouraging migration. He also suggested that it’s Israeli control that keeps Christians safe in Jerusalem (ignoring repeated attacks on Christians by Israeli extremists and the fact that two Palestinian Muslim families hold the keys to the city’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre). Yet the significance of this trip is not about what Robinson says he believes. It symbolizes the culmination of a growing bond between the European far right and Israeli officials. This was, indeed, an official visit organized by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. Taking stock of what Israel represents today, it comes as little surprise that the red carpet was rolled out for Robinson.
