The Israel-Hamas Conflict: From Initial Hostage Crisis to Ongoing Skirmishes


The Israel-Hamas conflict has turned into small skirmishes from where it began on October 7th with the kidnapping of Israel and other citizens by Hamas, culminating so on till today by detonating pagers and wireless sets in the city of Beirut in Lebanon. In the aftermath large number of people and those also believed to have belonged to Hezbollah in the Israel-bordering state of Lebanon have been injured also resulting in deaths from these explosions.

Israel's PM has moved away from his goal of eliminating Hamas completely from Gaza since it all began with the IDF retaliating for the kidnapping. Neither of his goals in this operation has been in operation for almost a year of freeing the hostages held by the Hamas completely or completely eliminating the Hamas have been achieved in the year-long conflict. This clearly indicates how much a state can lower itself before a terror organization.

The war is at a stalemate at the expense of civilians' lives and the lives of multinational hostages. This highlights the poor state of affairs prevailing in Israel and with its main ally the US in coming to a decision with the US and Israel completely with totally contrary perspectives looking at this most urgent decision. So far the war continues to go out of the hands of the US.

The war if it continues can extend to a much bigger one in the course of its conflict which has started already shaking from top to bottom.

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

We Are Not Running Out of Time—We’re Wasting It

In a world teeming with opportunities, it’s not time that we lack, but the wisdom to seize the moment. We often hear the refrain, “We’re running out of time,” as if the hours slip through our fingers like grains of sand. But the truth is, we have ample time; we’re just not using it effectively. Instead of harnessing the abundant opportunities around us, we find ourselves bogged down by distractions, procrastination, and indecision. Consider the metaphor: we are knee-deep in water, yet crying for sheep. The water represents the wealth of resources, knowledge, and chances that surround us. Yet, rather than utilizing what’s at our disposal, we waste time lamenting what we don’t have, or worse, chasing after things that don’t truly matter. This misplaced focus leads to frustration and a sense of urgency that is entirely self-imposed. The real crisis isn’t a shortage of time, but a failure to make the most of what we have. Every moment we waste is a moment we could have spent building, lear...
