Malaysia’s ties with terror group Hamas should inspire a more stringent EU foreign policy approach

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:00:44 GMT

Hadi.Official statements from the state of Malaysia and its Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, echoed sentiments of the small albeit firm latter group, blaming Israel for the confrontation, and not only omitting critical statements of Hamas but outright refusing to yield on the matter at the request of Western countries. Indonesia is the only other Muslim-majority nation in Southeast Asia that voiced similar opinions to Malaysia....

The story — probably a tall tale — is that just after the lunch hour, a tour group arrived at Runnymede in England, where the Magna Carta was signed. One of the group asked a guide when the signing took place.“1215,” was the answer.“Drat,” the tourist sighed. “Missed it by 45 minutes.”Today’s declarer had a poor sense of timing. At 3NT he took the ace of hearts and led a club to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart to the queen. South then had eight tricks; he had to lose a diamond to set up dummy’s long diamonds, and East cashed three hearts. Down one.POOR CHANCESouth mistimed. East, who overcalled vulnerable, is likely to have the ace of clubs, so South should lead a diamond to dummy at Trick Two and return the four of clubs.If East grabs his ace to continue hearts, South has three clubs, two diamonds, two hearts and two spades. If instead East plays low, South wins and sets up the diamonds, winning four dia...

Elon Musk speaks to members of the media following the Senate AI Insight Forum on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 13, 2023.Photo: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesAfter Elon Musk finalized his purchase of Twitter on October 27, 2022, I wrote an article in which I warned, “We need to take seriously the possibility that this will end up being one of the funniest things that’s ever happened.”Today, I have to issue an apology: I was wrong. Musk’s ownership of Twitter may well be — at least for people who manage to enjoy catastrophic human folly — the funniest thing that’s ever happened. Let’s take a look back and see how I was so mistaken.Musk began his tenure as Twitter’s owner by posting this message to the company’s advertisers, in which he said, “Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise. … Twitter obviously cannot be a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no ...
