Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, leading scholars' association says Israel's foreign ministry called the resolution “disgraceful,” but it added to a growing chorus from rights groups concluding that Israel is committing genocide.

On Sunday, the International Association of Genocide Scholars said that Israel’s nearly two-year military campaign in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of people and left swaths of the enclave in rubble, meets “the legal definition of genocide.”

Violent extremists like the Minnesota shooter are not lone wolves The lone wolf metaphor used to describe mass shooters misinforms views of extremists – and hampers law enforcement efforts to deter the violence.

The Minnesota shooter who killed a state Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t a lone wolf, insists a scholar of political violence.

Violent extremists are almost always part of broader networks, and the myth of the isolated madman obscures the networked reality of far-right violence.

Stopping U.S. foreign aid makes America—& the world—less safe, less secure & less prosperous. The stop-work order on U.S. foreign assistance is a wrecking ball approach that will increase global chaos & war. #UnfreezeAid #PausethePause
