Jewish Visitors Pray on Temple Mount Amid Shifting NormsDecember 3, 2025 12:10 AM Full SummaryThe Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's third-holiest, has seen record Jewish visits in 2025—over 54,000 by August—with open prayers increasingly allowed despite the long-standing ban meant to preserve peace. A video from that day shows groups ascending steps, carrying objects, and making gestures some view as prayer, drawing strong criticism likening it to desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque while others defend it as rightful devotion. Since Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem, the Jordanian Waqf manages the compound with Israeli police controlling access, but officials like Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have led prayers, heightening fears of changing traditions amid no reported clashes from this visit. Key TakeawayJewish visitors in prayer shawls climbed the ancient stone steps of Jerusalem's Temple Mount on December 1, placing items near fences and bowing in reverence. The quiet scene underscores deep spiritual yearnings at a site revered by Jews and Muslims alike. Context & EntitiesTopics

Key TakeawayIn a resurfaced 2024 clip, journalist Ryan Grim dismantles conservative commentator Matt Walsh's anti-Haitian migration stance by revealing centuries of Western sabotage—from France's crippling $20-30 billion indemnity to U.S.-backed coups.

The exchange underscores how modern finance can rapidly challenge even enduring civilizations, as both nations persist culturally amid economic trials. Key TakeawayA crypto analyst quipped that China's 5,000-year survival laughs at collapse predictions. A reply pointed to Greece's ancient legacy undone by Goldman Sachs in swift financial maneuvers.

China Acquires Tanzanian Rare Earth Mine from Australian FirmNovember 24, 2025 9:59 PM Full SummaryPeak Rare Earths, an Australian company developing the Ngualla deposit near Mbeya, was bought by China's Shenghe Resources after funding woes. China already dominates with 70% of global mining and 90% of refining for the 17 rare earths essential to electronics, EVs, defense, and AI. The U.S. once led from its Mountain Pass mine in the 1980s but lost ground to China's low prices and refining prowess; now efforts like reviving Mountain Pass and federal aid aim to diversify, though experts say it will take a decade. Key TakeawayA promising rare earth project in Tanzania, meant to challenge China's supply hold, has now fallen under Beijing's control. It highlights how tough it is to build alternatives for these vital metals. Context & EntitiesTopics
