  • Tal Beeri
    Tal Beeri “So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.” 10 hours ago

  • Sam Rose
    Sam Rose “People are petrified. People have been fearing this for a long, long time and it is now upon us. There is constant bombardment. There is smoke on the horizon. There are people on the move. Israel is subjecting Gaza to a medieval siege in a scorched earth war. No aid has come into Gaza now since Sunday. No aid, no fuel, no supplies, nothing. And we really are now down to our last reserves. We have a few more days of flour that we can provide. But everything else will start to shut down very soon without fuel, without water. So the situation is really desperate.” 17 hours ago
  • Shirley Yu
    Shirley Yu “Both trade and Russia are non-negotiable for China. Macron could not achieve anything [on those fronts]. Macron shares one vision in common with Xi, which is that the US hegemony - including the quest for Europe's allegiance to the US's foreign policy - must yield to a multipolar global order by accommodating the rising powers' interests and concerns. Macron's recent visits to India and Brazil also prove that France wants to stay at the forefront of that global shift.” 17 hours ago
  • Jason Straziuso
    Jason Straziuso “The food and water and medical supplies situation is critical and if this continues, then we move towards catastrophic, or even more catastrophic, consequences from the situation that we now see. International Committee of the Red Cross is constantly asking Israeli officials to allow access to humanitarian goods following the shutdown of the crossings. The Israeli officials know that we are desperate to bring in more supply trucks which we have waiting to cross the border as soon as they're able to. There's conversations also taking place about the need to spare civilian lives - no targeting of civilians, no targeting of civilian objects, meaning buildings, schools, medical facilities. Those talks have been happening for months.” 17 hours ago
  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Something incredibly important is happening in the world today. Israel is getting a beating around the world, while Palestine is getting a beating in the Middle East. Palestine the cause - whether it's at the United Nations or Western capitals or university campuses - is certainly gaining ground.” 17 hours ago

“People will need to be ready to adjust when the next variant comes along. You need to recognize that at certain times, it's going to be safer to do things than at other times.”

“There's always going to be a baseline number of COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths. A lot of people haven't come to terms with that.”

“People are sick of the pandemic and God knows I am, but unless we can get some urgency to compel our leaders to take action, I really see 2022 being a lot of more of the same that we saw in 2021.”

“As school holidays approach, we must also acknowledge that children contaminate their parents and grandparents at home. Those groups are 10 times more likely to develop severe disease, be hospitalised or - if unvaccinated - die. The use of mask and ventilation and regular testing should be a standard at all primary schools. And vaccinating children should be discussed and considered nationally as part of school protection measures. Vaccination of younger children not only reduces their role in Covid-19 transmission, but also protects them from paediatric severity whether associated with long Covid or multi-system, inflammatory syndromes.”

“If you're asking me what my personal position is, two or three years ago, I would never have thought to witness what we see right now that we have this horrible pandemic. We have the vaccines, the life-saving vaccines, but they are not being used adequately everywhere. And this costs … This is an enormous health cost coming along. If you look at the numbers, we have now 77% of the adults in the European Union vaccinated or if you take the whole population, it's 66%. And this means one-third of the European population is not vaccinated. These are 150 million people. This is a lot, and not each and every one can be vaccinated - children, for example, or people with special medical conditions - but the vast majority could and therefore, I think it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union, this needs discussion. This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be met.”

“I well understand the concern of all countries to protect their citizens against a variant that we don't yet fully understand. But I am equally concerned that several member states are introducing blunt, blanket measures that are not evidence-based or effective on their own, and which will only worsen inequities.”

“New variant Omicron, like Delta before, has spread; will spread. The world is literally a village. Travel restrictions against countries that report is punishing the messenger - reporting doesn't mean origin! To PROTECT the world, VACCINATE the World!”

“In many countries and communities, we are concerned about a false sense of security that vaccines have ended the pandemic, and that people who are vaccinated do not need to take any other precautions. Vaccines save lives, but they do not fully prevent transmission.”

“It's an unpopular measure, but absolutely unavoidable. Experts are clear. It's necessary to restrict people's mobility, we need a lockdown ... unfortunately, it's a measure that has to affect everyone.”

“I think mask-wearing is, in many ways, one of the interventions that you probably want to relax last. Mask-wearing is very, very low cost in comparison to most other interventions.”

“Quite frankly, some countries are in such a difficult situation now that they're going to find it hard not to put in place restrictive measures at least for a short period of time to reduce the intensity of transmission. Other countries can re-engage with communities around masks, around avoiding crowded spaces, around limiting their contact with others, work from home and many other initiatives and very importantly increasing vaccine coverage in high-risk populations.”

“It's hard to know what's coming next with this virus. We thought we knew, but delta really surprised us. We thought the vaccine would help end this, but things are still dragging on. It's hard to know what's going to happen next.”

“The main objective of the Covid vaccine is to prevent severe disease and death, and they are still doing a good job at that. With true declines in vaccine effectiveness, we'll likely see more cases overall.”

“The vaccination programme by itself was not enough to bring things under control. We do need to have people using lateral flow tests, avoiding contact with large numbers of people in enclosed spaces, using masks, all of those things now need to happen if we're going to stop this rise and get things under control soon enough to stop a real meltdown in the middle of the winter.”

“I think the first thing is the government have got to do more to make Plan A work. If the scientists are saying work from home and masks, we should do that. So get A working better because the vaccination programme has been stalling, and introduce those parts of Plan B. But there are also things not in A or B that need to be done, like paying statutory sick pay from day one and also better ventilation in public spaces.”
