Trump has a choice: Obliterate Palestine or end the war   https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trump-two-choices-obliterate-palestine-end-war David Hearst 7 November 2024  Under Trump and his son-in-law adviser, Jared Kushner, Washington became a policy playground for the settler movement, with which the former US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, was unashamedly aligned.

The Zionist dream of a liberal, secular, democratic Jewish state had been the main vehicle of Israeli expansion, with its salami slices making ever-deeper inroads into historic Palestine. By killing it, the liberal fig leaf dropped from the Zionist project, and the religious Zionist forces who were once regarded as fringe and even as terrorists, such as far-right politician Itamar Ben Gvir and the Kahanists, became mainstream.  This fundamentally altered the whole project to establish Israel as the dominant state between the river and sea.

 KYC Crisis: Financial Death instead of Financial Inclusion   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDWlKgZDt68   Nov 7, 2024 
The JAM Trinity (Jan-Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) was supposed to bring financial inclusion to India’s underserved communities. But for millions, Aadhaar-based verification has become a barrier rather than a bridge. This video, based on Sucheta Dalal’s article, uncovers the real struggles faced by rural Indians whose bank accounts are frozen due to mismatches and errors in their Aadhaar-linked information. Watch as we delve into the systemic issues causing financial exclusion, and the urgent need for reform in India's KYC and Aadhaar systems.

https://moneylife.in/article/jammed-how-aadhaarbased-inclusion-turned-into-financial-exclusion/75544.html While the ‘mission mode’ approach delivered large numbers, unfortunately, it prioritised targets over proper verification and banks opened many Jan-Dhan accounts without proper authentication of Aadhaar. A decade later, the re-verification of documents under the know-your-customer (KYC) process is wreaking havoc. These ‘low-risk’ accounts are being frozen or closed due to documentation issues, effectively inflicting 'financial death' on vulnerable account-holders.

The playbook for transforming a democracy into a soft autocracy was clear: Win power with a populist message against elites. Redraw parliamentary districts. Change voting laws. Harass civil society. Pack courts with judges willing to support power grabs. Enrich cronies through corruption. Buy up newspapers and television stations and turn them into right-wing propaganda. Use social media to energize supporters. Wrap it up in an Us versus Them message: Us, the “real” Russians or Hungarians or Americans, against a rotating cast of Them: the migrants, the Muslims, the liberals, the gays, George Soros and on and on.....  we let revulsion at white Christian nationalism bait us into identity politics on their terms — whether it was debates about transgender athletes, the busing of migrants to cities, or shaming racist MAGA personalities who can’t be shamed. ... Many voters have come to associate democracy with globalization, corruption, financial capitalism, migration, forever wars and elites (like me) who talk about it as an end in itself rather than a means to redressing inequality, reining in capitalist systems that are rigged, responding to global conflict and fostering a sense of shared national identity.

... Instead of defending a system that has been rejected, we need to articulate an alternative vision for what kind of democracy comes next.

 Is the Indian Middle Class Shrinking? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvNVvMr89Ck | Cracknomics Ep 17, The Wire  the purchasing power of the middle class has shrunk and so has its size. The rate of consumption has come down to 3.5%, then how is the economy growing at 7%? Be it the consumption data, the household savings data or the income tax data, everything points to a simple fact: the size of the middle class has reduced. Along with it, its voice has also cowered in the political sphere in the country.
