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.

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.
