BDS, Antisemitism and the German Hypocrisy
Even though the boycott, divest and sanction movement clearly states that “the BDS does not tolerate any act or discourse which adopts or promotes anti-black racism, anti-Arab racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, sexism, xenophobia” (Palestinian BDS national committee 2017), the attitude of Germans still has been hostile towards the supporters of any movement against Israel.
Has EU-China Deal Isolated the US?
The deal has come as a surprise as well as a blow to the US and the advocates of transatlantic cooperation. It has baffled the US to see the EU sign an investment pact with China just weeks before Joe-Biden officially sworn in as the President of the US. This sudden step by the EU might result in a number of things. It can compel the new US President to rethink its relationship with the EU. The country will find it hard to trust the EU and its offers in the future. Many contend that, by signing the deal with China, the EU wanted to imply that it is independent of the US.

Macron’s Problem with Islam
Macron’s strategy focuses on sowing further racial and religious hatred and increasing the polarization in society, inspiring more violent attacks and reprisals against Muslims who are burning an unequalled bear of the draconian legal measures of the French state which even Amnesty International is severely critical about. In his process of adopting far-right rhetoric as a political practice to win votes, President Macron is equally capable of compromising the real French values of secularism: liberty, fraternity, and equality.
Possibility of Extension of The Armenia Azerbaijan War to Turkey and Russia
World history is full of precedents where armed conflict between the two countries has spiraled into multiparty conflict; this is how the two great wars were born. It is the fear under which the world breathes. Today once again, the world finds itself amidst a conflict.

The extension of war to Turkey and Russia also depends on how Armenia and Azerbaijan fare in the battleground in the next few days.
