Devastating Terrorist Attack

Image
  On April 22, 2025, a devastating terrorist attack occurred in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Five armed militants opened fire on a group of tourists, resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals and injuries to over 20 others. The attack targeted primarily male Hindu tourists and has been described as one of the deadliest assaults on civilians in the region in recent years. ​ The Attack The assailants, equipped with AK-47s and M4 carbines, infiltrated the Baisaran Valley, a popular tourist destination accessible only by foot or horseback. Witnesses reported that the attackers selectively targeted male tourists after verifying their religious identities, sparing women to "narrate the horrors" to Indian authorities. The brutality of the attack, including forcing men to recite religious texts and checking for circumcision, underscored its sectarian nature. ​ Responsibility and Investigations Initially, The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot ...

Is Hamas Pro-Israel?

  Is Hamas Pro-Israel? This question might seem absurd at first. After all, Hamas and Israel have been locked in a bitter conflict for decades. Hamas, the Palestinian militant group governing Gaza, has openly called for the destruction of Israel, while Israel considers Hamas a terrorist organisation.

Since Hamas seized Gaza in 2007, Palestinians have been politically fractured. A divided Palestinian leadership weakens their negotiating power on the international stage. Some analysts argue that Israel benefits from this division, as it prevents the formation of a unified Palestinian state. ...

Donald Trump’s Gaza Plan: A Real-Estate Dream or a Geopolitical Nightmare? Donald Trump is back with another big idea—this time, he wants the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip, "level" it, and build luxury resorts . In a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump floated the idea of turning Gaza into "the Riviera of the Middle East" . But this proposal isn’t just about fancy hotels and beachfront views—it involves displacing over 2 million Palestinians and completely reshaping the region’s political landscape. The Plan: Gaza Under U.S. Control? Trump’s vision is simple: the U.S. would take ownership of Gaza, clear out the rubble, and start fresh . He argues that rebuilding the war-torn region will take decades, so why not let America step in and take charge? According to Trump, this would bring stability and economic prosperity. However, this is more than just a real-estate project. His proposal effectively wipes out Palestinian claims to...
