I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.

In Italy, regional councils in Veneto and Lombardy went about calling for the ending of EU sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Crimea.

Leaked emails show how a Kremlin-linked lobbying group influenced them to do this.

@deepawais@twitter.com @NeurIPSConf@twitter.com Happened to me back in 2012 when I was an international student. Get this: when picking up my passport, they asked "oh you're going to a conference?" The conference happened a year ago. I said "yes" and the passport was returned with visa. Still trying to invent time machine.

I've long used the Ireland/UK history as a metaphor explaining Ukraine/Russia recent history. (A longer history requires using India/UK as a metaphor - Ukraine has a far longer history than Russia.) Here is a good help for those who has to explain what is Ukraine to Russia...
