American surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter shares harrowing Gaza testimony: "I amputated a child's leg without anesthesia while the anesthesiologist sang to her."

American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who recently returned from volunteering in Gaza, gives a devastating firsthand account of the catastrophic medical reality on the ground.

Due to the critical shortage of basic medical supplies and pain relief, healthcare workers are forced to perform life-altering procedures—including pediatric amputations—without proper anesthesia. In one heartbreaking moment, the only comfort they could provide to a young girl during surgery was the anesthesiologist singing to her to help drown out the pain.

Police Escort Beitar Jerusalem Fans Through Vienna Amid Protests | APT

"Tensions surrounding a European football match spilled onto the streets of Vienna on Thursday as Beitar Jerusalem supporters marched through the city ahead of their UEFA Conference League qualifier against Austria Wien.

Beitar fans were accompanied by a heavy police presence as they made their way towards the Generali Arena. Some supporters were filmed chanting anti-Palestinian slogans.

A separate pro-Palestinian demonstration later gathered nearby, with protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting, "Free, free Palestine."

Activists criticised Beitar's history of alleged racist and anti-Arab chanting and questioned the club's participation in European competition. One counterprotest sign read: "Russia is not allowed to play. Why Israel?

Austria Wien ultimately advanced to the Conference League play-offs after winning a penalty shootout 4-2 following a 3-3 aggregate draw."

Protesters interrupted Amazon CTO Werner Vogels at the UN AI for Good Summit over Project Nimbus

Project Nimbus is a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract awarded to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud in 2021 to provide cloud infrastructure and AI services to the Israeli government. The project has drawn sustained criticism from employees, human rights organizations, and advocacy groups over concerns that commercial cloud and AI technologies may support military and surveillance operations, while Amazon and Google have stated the contract provides commercial cloud services to government ministries. Microsoft bid for the original contract but was not selected, although it continues to provide separate cloud and software services to Israeli government entities.

During the UN AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, activists from Drop Kollektiv, No Tech for Apartheid Europe, and Breakfree Suisse interrupted Amazon CTO Werner Vogels' keynote, calling for Amazon and Google to end Project Nimbus and raising concerns about AI's military and environmental impacts. Vogels responded during the disruption by saying the protesters were "robbing people that do the hard work for good," before security escorted the demonstrators from the venue.

US is threatening to revoke visas for the Falastin delegation to the United Nations unless Ambassador Riyad Mansour withdraws his candidacy for vice president of the UN General Assembly

The United Nations General Assembly is located in USA. How is this not a conflict of interest? Ignoring all the international laws the USA violates, if it cannot even uphold its role in this regard, which is frankly a privilege, the location must be shifted to another member state.
