The black-and-white image from the Center for Jewish History captures around 100,000 German Jews who served loyally in the Kaiser's army, with 80 percent in combat and 12,000 losing their lives. They earned medals at rates equal to or higher than other Germans, yet many survivors faced betrayal two decades later in the Holocaust. The photo prompts reflection on their deep assimilation efforts—like Reform synagogues with family pews and self-identifying as Germans of the Mosaic faith—proving loyalty offered no protection against rising antisemitism.

Key Takeaway

In the grim trenches of World War I, Jewish soldiers in the German army gathered around a menorah, their faces lit by flickering candles amid the snow.

The image from CECOT, El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center opened in 2023, shows inmates with tattoos like clocks and stars that critics say mark innocents, not Tren de Aragua gang members. In 2025, the U.S. sent 238 Venezuelans there after Venezuela refused them; many had no criminal records, faced harsh conditions, and were later released in a swap. While Bukele's crackdown slashed homicides to 1.3 per 100,000 in 2025 with 90% approval, human rights groups estimate 15-30% of detainees lack gang links, fueling divides over safety versus due process.

Key Takeaway

A stark photo of tattooed men packed behind bars in El Salvador's mega-prison has people questioning U.S. deportations of Venezuelans accused of gang ties.

Hanke described Bitcoin as a highly speculative asset lacking fundamental value, amid its trading around $93,000 with a $1.8 trillion market cap on December 4. Critics like The Great Martis listed drawbacks including extreme volatility, low transaction speeds of 3-7 per second, high fees, massive energy use, and crime ties. Supporters countered by comparing it to gold's scarcity-based value, noting Lightning Network for fast cheap payments, over 50% renewable energy, low illicit activity at 0.14% of volume, and falling volatility with growing adoption.

The tree, on private land owned by Muslim resident Sattar Hawlader, drew practices like tying red cloths, lighting incense, and offering sweets—viewed by local clerics as shirk and bid'ah. Hawlader sold it to a madrasa for about $13 to build a new home after river erosion, estimating its age at 30-35 years despite claims of centuries. Authorities halted the cutting before completion and launched a probe, with no evidence of Hindu-specific targeting amid broader minority tensions.

Key Takeaway

On May 5, 2025, men with axes gathered around a large banyan tree in Madaripur, sawing branches to stop what they saw as sinful rituals at its base.

The video shows soldiers forcing al-Amour, who lost his leg in April after being shot while defending his land, to the ground near a fence and pointing a weapon at him before detaining him for hours at an IDF base. He was released blindfolded and handcuffed onto a roadside, hobbling hundreds of meters on one crutch to reach his family. The incident unfolded in Masafer Yatta, a tense Area C region under full Israeli military control, amid ongoing raids, settler tensions, and debates over security measures like bypass roads. The IDF has not commented, as the footage highlights broader clashes in the area where over 1,000 settler attacks on Palestinians occurred this year alone.

Key Takeaway

Sheikh Saeed al-Amour, a farmer in his 60s, screamed in pain as soldiers dragged him to the dirt and took his crutches during a raid in Masafer Yatta.
