The world is a dangerous place and not just for Palestinians, when genocide becomes something that does not matter to people or those who determine who gets to play.

There's a lot of talk about the addictive qualities of social media apps, but why is nobody talking about the effect solar panel monitoring apps have on middle-aged men?
Today, we honour the Roma who resisted at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. Their courage lives on in every Roma rights defender fighting for dignity and justice across Europe today.
