In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

Key Takeaway

After witnessing settler violence in the West Bank, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell has accused Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza and apartheid in the occupied territories.

The Democratic-controlled General Assembly passed HB29 on Friday, creating a map analysts say gives Democrats an edge in 10 of Virginia's 11 U.S. House districts; it now heads to Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who pledged last year she had no plans to redistrict. The bill links to a proposed constitutional amendment on the April 21 ballot, allowing lawmakers to redraw lines through 2030 if other states change maps outside the census cycle, bypassing the independent commission voters created in 2020. Republicans call it an unconstitutional power grab and hypocrisy, especially after a judge temporarily blocked the referendum; Democrats say it's needed to level the playing field against GOP actions in states like Texas and North Carolina.

Key Takeaway

Virginia's legislature just approved a congressional map that tilts 10 of 11 districts toward Democrats, sparking a fierce clash over fairness and old promises.

Tens of thousands gathered in Seiyun on Sunday to support the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) declaring an independent 'South Arabia,' backing its recent military advances into Hadramaut and Al-Mahrah to secure against Houthi smuggling and Islah influence. The rally followed STC's 'Operation Promising Future,' which seized key bases, buildings, and oil sites from Saudi-backed forces, with participants calling it a 'popular referendum' and leaders hinting at statehood. While STC frames the actions as anti-terrorism protection, Saudi Arabia warned of consequences, Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council condemned the moves as chaotic, and critics questioned crowd turnout amid tribal wariness of separatism. Thousands rallied again in Mukalla on Monday, underscoring fractures in southern Yemen over unity and control of vital oil fields.

Key Takeaway

Crowds in Seiyun climbed atop armored vehicles, once symbols of northern repression, waving pre-unification flags and chanting for restored borders.

Full Summary

New research from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council shows two unnamed tech companies—widely seen as Apple and Microsoft—paid nearly €11 billion, or 40% of Ireland's 2024 corporation tax, with Eli Lilly covering most of the rest to reach 46% total. Corporation tax has nearly doubled since 2021, boosted by global 15% minimum rates that will add €5 billion more from 2026, but the council warns of risks from over-reliance on a few U.S. firms amid AI uncertainties, regulations, and policy shifts. While multinationals bring jobs, exports like Eli Lilly's €36 billion in drug ingredients, and funds like the €20 billion Strategic Transformation Fund, online concerns echo the 2008 crash, urging bigger savings buffers.

Key Takeaway

Imagine three companies footing nearly half of a nation's corporate tax bill. That's Ireland's reality, where two tech giants and one pharma firm drove the bulk of last year's €28.1 billion haul.

Iran's government denies the high death tolls and child targeting, as families grieve without public funerals and teachers demand UN investigations into school raids, torture, and secret burials.

The February 17 post by @_perfectmips drew over 5,000 likes but sparked replies highlighting 'Jesús' as hugely popular in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Spain due to Catholic roots. Users shared stories of Mexican uncles, Peruvian grandmas, U.S. landscapers named Jesus, and even Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus. The exchange showed cultural differences: many English speakers view 'Jesus' as too sacred, while Latino traditions embrace it, and Muslims revere Jesus as prophet Isa. It turned into a reminder of Christianity's global diversity and the need for cultural context online.

Key Takeaway

A post asked why Christians skip naming kids 'Jesus' like Muslims do 'Muhammad.' Replies from Latin America quickly shared that 'Jesús' is a everyday name there, with over 1.4 million in Mexico alone.
