Al Jazeera English | Sep 7, 2024

Israel has overseen a deadly and destructive 10-day military operation in the occupied West Bank. As international law and global media have fallen short in holding the Israelis to account during 11 months of genocide in Gaza, what hopes do the Palestinians have that outcomes will be any different in the West Bank?

🎥 What's the economic toll of Israel's war on Gaza? | Counting the Cost

Al Jazeera English | Sep 12, 2024

More than 40,000 Israeli businesses are expected to go bankrupt in the coming months. Tourism has ground to a halt and consumption, trade and foreign investment have all slumped. Israel's war on Gaza is damaging almost every sector of its economy. This comes as spending and borrowing are both rocketing to finance the mounting cost of the war. That cost is expected to reach more than $55bn by next year. Credit rating agencies have downgraded Israel for the first time in its history.

“The Universe is infinite
But space has its limits
Rockets a launching
Sat’lites are orbiting
Explosions in Space
Oh what a waste
Fragments go flying
And we go crying “Space junk we’ve got” Man-made or not
Then comes Kessler Who knows the better
When things collide
Their debris do multiply
Thanks to partnering
And NASA’s gathering
We look for ways
To manage the spray”

– S. Thuy Nguyen-Onstott

One may ask, “What is Orbital Debris?” Although we don’t see space junk in the sky, beyond the clouds and further than the eye can see, it enters low Earth orbit (LEO).
LEO is an orbital space junk yard. There are millions of pieces of space junk flying in LEO. Most orbital debris comprises human-generated objects, such as pieces of space craft, tiny flecks of paint from a spacecraft, parts of rockets, satellites that are no longer working, or explosions of objects in orbit flying around in space at high speeds.

The statue "Kwibuka Flame of Hope", a gift from the Republic of Rwanda, was installed on 11 September 2024 in the north garden area at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Kwibuka flame symbolizes the resilience and courage of Rwandans since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, when more than one million people – overwhelmingly Tutsi, but also Hutu and others who opposed the genocide – were systematically killed following years of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech exacerbating ethnic tensions.
"The Kwibuka Flame of Hope will burn forever as a visual reminder for the international community and all the visitors coming here to the United Nations, on the need to speak out and say no to hate," said Melissa Fleming, the Under-Secretary-General of the Department of Global Communications.
