The Children of Gaza: Voices That the World Must Never Forget
In the heart of Gaza, where laughter once echoed through narrow streets and dreams flickered in the eyes of the young, there now lies a silence too deep to bear. This article is not just a collection of words—it is a eulogy for the children who once played in the sands of Gaza, who dreamt of school, birthdays, and a future. They are not alive anymore. They are not statistics. They were sons, daughters, brothers, sisters—innocent lives lost in a war not of their choosing.

Tea App Data Breach: What Happened, and Why It Matters
Tea is a dating safety app made for women. It lets users share their experiences with men, using features like background checks and anonymous reviews.

The Worst-Kept Secret of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
One of the more poorly kept secrets of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that many of those involved would prefer to take all the land and have the other side disappear. A 2011 poll found that two-thirds of Palestinians believed that their real goal should not be a two-state solution, but rather using that arrangement as a prelude to establishing “one Palestinian state.” A 2016 survey found that nearly half of Israeli Jews agreed that “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel.” A poll in 2000, conducted during negotiations toward a two-state solution, found that only 47 percent of Israelis and 10 percent of Palestinians supported a school curriculum that would educate students to “give up aspirations for parts of the ‘homeland’ which are in the other state.”

FEMA’s Western Maryland Denial
When catastrophic floods slammed into Allegany and Garrett Counties this May, Western Marylanders didn’t ask for handouts—they asked for help. Roads were destroyed, homes ruined, schools inundated, and families left reeling. The damage? $15.8 million, a figure that clearly exceeds FEMA’s own threshold for disaster declarations.
