NATO has expanded 10 times since its creation in 1949.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 16 countries joined the alliance. Among them are Finland, which joined last year, and Sweden, which became a member of NATO today, March 7.

Thus, today 32 countries are members of NATO.

Vandals burned down Ukraine's largest Jewish cemetery

Vandals have once again targeted a site of great significance to the Jewish community by desecrating the graves of Holocaust victims. This incident occurred at the Jewish cemetery in Berdychiv, located in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine.

Remarkably, the local police initiated an investigation based only on the burning of dry grass within the cemetery premises, a matter that typically results in only an administrative fine. The Facebook post has been replaced to not include imagery of damage to the cemetery.

It's important to note that the cemetery in Berdychiv has faced similar acts of vandalism in the past, including the looting of burial sites. These deplorable actions have been condemned by members of the community and observers alike.

Eduard Dolinsky, a prominent figure in the Ukrainian Jewish community, has highlighted a distressing pattern of grave looting that occurs with alarming regularity. He pointed out that organized groups often target Jewish graves in search of valuables, despite the historical fact that victims of the Holocaust were usually deprived of their possessions prior to their murder.

Spanish military personnel change gender en masse due to benefits and salary — El Espanol

Reports have emerged that members of the Spanish Armed Forces, stationed at a garrison in Northern Africa, are changing their gender on official documents. This wave of gender changes comes in the wake of a government policy aimed at enhancing salaries and benefits for women serving in the army.

The policy adjustments include a 15% salary increase for female personnel and the provision of separate bathroom facilities within the garrison. It has been noted that over 40 male soldiers have altered their gender identity in their documentation, with four individuals also adopting new names in line with their gender transition.

Democrats are threatening to bypass Speaker Johnson on Ukraine aid, reports the Washington Times.

Dems are threatening to bypass Mike Johnson if he does not yield to their demands. A group of lawmakers led by House members Brian Fitzpatrick and Jared Golden want to bring to a vote a foreign aid package that includes money for Ukraine and Israel.

The aid to Ukraine will amount to $47 billion, and $10 billion to Israel. Johnson has been given a kind of ultimatum - the decision must be made by Friday. At the same time, there is no money in the bill to "stop the flow of illegal migrants". The lawmakers want to play the parties "against each other" in order to finally solve the problem.

“Bring the hostages home, destroy Hamas - but only after getting civilians out of harm’s way and taking every step possible to prevent civilian harm, alleviating humanitarian issues,”

This was the overwhelming sentiment, intention, and actions I observed being taken and pursued during my meetings/interviews last week of everyone from the Prime Minister of Israel, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Southern Command commander, Division and Brigade Commanders and soldiers in the fight in Gaza (Khan Yunis) to those in the civilian harm mitigation office all conducted in my research of modern urban warfare.

A Gazan complaining about the quality of the airdropped food aid.
Read his words and tell me, are they really hungry in Gaza?


"They concentrate us in a certain place and then drop the aid somewhere else, on the border or in the sea....
It's silly... and the dishes are silly... we'd better drop a kilo of flour. This is better than the whole box of aid... this food is not good for us, we are the Arab... Palestinian people.... it is cat food for us..

I exchanged the entire carton of aid with my brother in exchange for a kilo of flour.
We want better assistance than this."
