  Deluge - Gaza and Israel from...

  In September 2023, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan boasted that the Middle East "is quieter today than it has been in two decades." One week later, unprecedented violence in Gaza and Israel shattered the status quo and shocked the world.
  Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge punctured delusions of stability as hundreds of militants burst forth from the Gaza prison camp. In the ensuing carnage and firefights, 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken hostage.
  Israel's retaliation turned the besieged enclave into a howling wasteland. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in two months, including more than 7,000 children, and over 60 percent of homes were damaged or destroyed. Israel targeted the wounded and infirm, newborns and near-dead, as Gaza's healthcare system—hospitals, clinics, ambulances, medical personnel—came under a systematic attack unprecedented in the annals of modern warfare.
  The Hamas massacre and the Israeli extermination campaign which followed together mark a historic turning point in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The reverberations have also shaken politics far beyond, not least in Europe and the United States, where gigantic, round-the-clock protests for Palestinian rights pitted politicians against the public and exposed a growing statist authoritarianism.
  In this groundbreaking book—the first published about the 2023 Gaza war—leading Palestinian, Israeli, and international authorities put these momentous developments in context and provide an initial taking-stock.
  Why did Hamas attack? What is Israel trying to achieve? Did this catastrophe have to happen? And is there a way forward? The book's expert contributors address these and other questions, which have never been more urgent.

  The Majesty & Mystery Of Krsna's...

  Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared as a devotee of Krishna in Mayapur, West Bengal, India in the late fifteenth century. He introduced sankirtan, widespread congregational chanting of the Supreme Person’s names, as the most effective means by which anyone can achieve spiritual perfection. By His influence, many of India’s leading religious scholars and their followers became devotees of Krishna themselves. 
   
  In His youth, Mahaprabhu started a Sanskrit academy in Navadvipa—one of India’s top centers of learning at the time—and earned a reputation as an excellent scholar. But at age twenty-four he renounced everything to travel the subcontinent encouraging everyone he met to chant the Hare Krishna mantra. 
   
  He is considered by disciples, scholars and followers to be the latest avatar of Krishna Himself, based on extensive evidence found in Vedic literature. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, ISKCON, is a continuation of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s sankirtan movement. 
    
  Chaitanya's humble, saintly demeanor and knowledge of Vedic conclusions persuaded prominent impersonalists that Krishna consciousness, worship of the Supreme Person, is life’s highest purpose. On Mahaprabhu’s instruction, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan made a thorough analysis of the Vedas to show that Krishna bhakti, devotional service to Lord Krishna, is the essence of all Vedic teachings. Mahaprabhu’s extensive conversations with His devotees such as Ramananda Raya and Sanatana Goswami form the philosophical and scriptural basis of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, or Krishna consciousness. 
   
  Chaitanya himself left only eight written verses, the Siksastaka, in which he teaches that chanting God’s names is the most simple and sublime spiritual practice for everyone, everywhere. He also showed such extraordinary symptoms of love of God that great scholars among His devotees, including the Six Goswamis

  Subtle Abuse - Indirect Forms of...

  Cito Harder

  Subtle abuse is a form of psychological harm that often goes unnoticed, yet its effects can be just as damaging as more overt forms of mistreatment. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves visible marks, or direct verbal abuse, which is easier to identify, subtle abuse operates in the shadows, disguised as normal behavior, misunderstandings, or even acts of care. This makes it particularly dangerous because victims may not recognize it until significant emotional and psychological damage has already occurred. 
  At its core, subtle abuse is about control, manipulation, and emotional harm inflicted in ways that are difficult to detect. It can take many forms, including gaslighting, passive-aggressive behavior, emotional withholding, and undermining someone’s confidence in indirect ways. A common characteristic of subtle abuse is its plausibility—it often leaves victims doubting their own experiences and questioning whether they are simply overreacting. Because the harm is delivered in small, often deniable doses, victims may struggle to explain their distress to others, further isolating them in their experience. 
  One of the most insidious aspects of subtle abuse is its ability to erode a person’s sense of self over time. The victim may start to feel insecure, anxious, or even incapable, not realizing that their mental state has been shaped by constant, indirect put-downs or the gradual withholding of emotional support. For example, a partner who consistently dismisses concerns with phrases like “You’re too sensitive” or “I was just joking” may be engaging in subtle emotional abuse by invalidating the other person’s feelings. Similarly, a boss who subtly undermines an employee’s work without overt criticism may be manipulating them into self-doubt and compliance.
