  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 20 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 20 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 20 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 20 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 20 hours ago

“Reducing gang violence by replacing it with state violence cannot be a success. The Salvadoran government had adopted disproportionate measures, denying, minimising and concealing human rights violations. Bukele had created a false illusion that he had found the magic formula to solve the very complex problems of violence and criminality in a seemingly simple way. The international community must respond in a robust, articulate and forceful manner, condemning any model of public security that is based on human rights violations.”

“The lack of independence in the court system during the state of exception is a result of the erosion of independent institutions. The process began on May 1 of last year, when members of Bukele's party assumed a supermajority in El Salvador's legislative assembly and immediately moved to remove the attorney general and Supreme Court judges. The Supreme Court has been co-opted completely, and kidnapped by the executive branch. There is no separation of power. It does what the presidential house says.”

“There's a component of it that's sensitive to Bitcoin price but in theory, the difficulty adjustment should allow miners to make money regardless of what the Bitcoin price is. However, if Bitcoin does 'do its thing' and rises to the upside, then the bond's appeal will rise manifold. Those bonds are going to trade on the open market at a much higher rate than six and a half percent. They'll trade at a lower yield at a higher price because the six and a half will be extremely attractive so people will bid up the price of those bonds and the yield conversely will decline.”

“He [Nayib Bukele] made the announcement at a huge party on the beach. Funding for the mammoth undertaking to start in 2022 is to be raised through the sale of a sovereign Bitcoin bond to the tune of $1 billion the hottest investment in the cryptosphere at present. At the moment, there are many 'Bitcoiners' having both the resources and the willingness to invest.”

“Now, four decades after El Mozote and nearly three decades after the official end of the civil war, the latest Salvadoran tyrant - President and Twitter star Nayib Bukele, who has even bizarrely self-identified as the 'world's coolest dictator' - is doing a fine job of ensuring that justice in the country remains ever elusive. In addition to blissfully converting El Salvador into a Bitcoin dystopia, Bukele has pursued various other actions befitting a, well, dictator - like firing five Salvadoran Supreme Court judges as well as the attorney general earlier this year.”

“Invest here and make all the money you want. This is a fully ecological city that works and is energized by a volcano. If you want bitcoin to spread over the world, we should build some Alexandrias.”
