Big players in geopolitics should shun pampering autocrats and invest in people to people connection. Period.

A ship carrying Indian weapons for Israel has been barred from docking in Spain en route to the war zone because Spain does not allow supply of arms if it could be used for genocide.
Spain is doing what Modi govt failed to do: Act against genocide.

Biden' Easter statement mentions the wars and conflicts that have killed many innocent lives. Perhaps someone should have reminded him that some of these wars are waged by the US and with US weapons. Unbelievable hypocrisy. No shame

Congratulations to Jonathan Glazer, whose stunning film The Zone of Interest won Best International Feature Film. I spoke with him from Kyiv last month, when he told me, “It’s not saying, ‘look at what they did.’ It’s saying, ‘look at what we do.’”
