  • 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.” 14 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.” 15 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.” 15 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.” 15 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.” 15 hours ago

“The result is a very impressive victory for the Move Forward Party. It marks a big turning point for Thailand because it indicates most people in the country want change. We are really seeing the power of the electorate, who fought hard this time for change.”

“This year we see the students and the Red Shirts can get closer and fight together … The power of democracy will grow bigger and bigger. I support the young people's calls for monarchy reform, saying it is the best way to bring democracy to Thailand. As long as the monarchy does not change, the problem will happen again and again and again. My children, my grandchildren will face the same thing. At the moment, there is no sign of change. But I support the right to fight. Maybe tomorrow there will be change, maybe next year we will be successful, but we need to fight.”

“When the government is authoritarian, they think they can censor the media, they think they can stop the people from protesting. But people are still coming out to protest every day, demanding change. People who supported the government have also gotten infected [with Covid], and this makes them rethink and question why they have to suffer like this.”

“The members of parliament have to choose between the people and Prayuth [Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha] who has failed, causing losses and deaths of more than 10,000 people. If Prayuth passes the no-confidence vote and remains prime minister we will continue to drive him out.”

“The Thai authorities have become more and more aggressive as pro-democracy movements launch new street protests, using public frustrations about PM Prayuth's [Prayuth Chan-o-cha] disastrous response to the COVID-19 crisis as a rallying point in combination with outstanding demands for monarchy reforms. It appears that the Thai state has now adopted zero tolerance for dissenting voices. One year after the rise of youth-led democracy uprising, the prospect for compromise or reconciliation is now fading away. Thailand is descending into new chaos.”
