Why are global health organizations silent on Gaza genocide?
It has been more than six months since the International Court of Justice concluded in South Africa v Israel that the latter was likely in violation of the Genocide Convention for its treatment of Palestinians. Israel's continuous, systematic strikes on Gaza's health professionals and infrastructure have dominated the court's discussions, bringing the unfolding carnage squarely under the purview of health researchers and institutions. It is striking that practically all influential global health organizations based in the United States have disregarded what could be the world's most severe and preventable global health crisis. From the massive Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the many smaller NGOs and academic centers that shape this field, these organizations have refused to take any meaningful stand against the systematic destruction of Gaza's health infrastructure, which has been facilitated by the Biden administration's provision of arms, funds, and diplomatic cover to Israel.

Ratcliffe supports new 100,000-seat stadium as Manchester United decides
Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants Manchester United to decide on their stadium plans by December. He prefers a new facility with a capacity of 100,000 that will cost more than £2 billion and take six years to finish. That would be built close to Old Trafford, enabling the use of the current arena until the new one is completed. One of the most critical aspects of the build's look is that it is associated with the club. The other alternative is to rebuild Old Trafford, which would significantly decrease revenue because sections of the stadium would be closed while being renovated, or United would have to play elsewhere while construction is underway.
