The people killing Christians in Nigeria are Boko Haram. Boko Haram is a part of ISIS, and they are killing all sorts of people, not just Christians. They are rebels against the Nigeria government. Yet, Trump talks like the government is doing or aiding this. Hurting the government would weaken its ability to fight Boko Haram, potentially leading to more innocent deaths. Nigeria said they welcome help to fight Boko Haram.
Hamas spent tons of money building a buttload of overlapping tunnels, some cheap and small, others so advanced that you could drive trucks though. They could have spent this money helping Palestinians. They then further screwed Palestinians by reminding Israel that they were a terroristic threat by attacking on Oct 7.
“Al Qaeda militants are moving closer to seizing the capital of the West African nation of Mali, which, should the city fall, would become the first country in the world run by the U.S.-designated terrorist group.
The rapid advance of the jihadists in Africa comes after Islamist groups took power in both Afghanistan and Syria, but, if they take Bamako, it would be the first time militants with direct and current connections to al Qaeda achieve such a feat.”
It can be true that the greatest victims of 9/11 were those killed and their families, while at the same time, 9/11 caused people to unfairly discriminate against and harass Muslims, making them additional victims of 9/11.
For the moment, Hamas and Israel have a cease fire. The most likely outcome is things returning to the pre-war status quo: a terrorist theocratic dictatorship in Gaza who is determined to destroy Israel and kill Israelis, and Israel waiting for the next opportunity to “mow the lawn” while continuing West Bank settlements and maintaining control over that territory.
“When Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in January 2025, on the last day of the Biden administration, President Joe Biden demanded credit. “This is the exact framework of the deal I proposed back in May. Exact,” he said. Of course, that raises the question—if the deal was on the table earlier, why didn’t Biden secure it then?
That ceasefire fell apart after only two months. Seven bloody months later, the Trump administration has finally brokered a new one. President Donald Trump, like Biden before him, wants the credit. “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!” he declared in his announcement of the ceasefire, waxing biblical. (Trump also, bizarrely, tried to credit his tariff policy for the truce.) But like Biden before him, Trump deserves scrutiny for the violence that dragged on when a deal was already on the table.”
“the return of the 20 remaining living hostages who had been taken by Hamas. The terrorist group is still looking for the remains of the 28 hostages they killed, to hopefully return the bodies to the families of those still grieving their loss. Meanwhile, 2,000 Palestinian prisoners were released back to the West Bank and to Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip, to fulfill the terms of the deal.

“The main issue still hasn’t been solved: Hamas’s weapons,” Akram Atallah, a London-based Palestinian journalist, told The New York Times. “The Israelis are demanding Hamas disarm, which is not a simple administrative measure. Hamas was founded on the basis of bearing arms.” The most likely possible outcome looks like Hamas refusing disarmament, the Israeli military responding with some amount of continued surveillance and physical presence in the Strip, and some amount of conflict bubbling up sporadically.”
