For more than four months now, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western countries have been staunchly supporting Israel’s war on Gaza. As of now, the Israeli army has killed more than 28,000 Palestinians, including more than 12,000 children. On January 26, the International Court of Justice ruled…
These days, Afghanistan makes international headlines more and more rarely and when it does, it is always about yet another tragedy.
