“For years, it has been stated in various scientific, educational, and political centers around the world that the existence and legitimacy of Israel as the ‘only democracy in the Middle East’ is based on UN resolutions and international laws. Now, this ‘only law-abiding democracy in the region,’ by killing more than 41,000 Palestinians over the past year and conducting air and ground assaults on Lebanon, shreds the UN Charter at the General Assembly with a paper shredder and then bans the UN Secretary-General as an anti-Israel Secretary-General. Israel’s logic is the logic of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union: whoever is not with us is against us. A clear example of a rogue state.”

As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. To that end, when files are actively downloading, a new icon now appears in the Search bar that users can tap to view and manage downloads, pause and resume all downloads or just individual items, and select one to increase its priority or view it in a chat. Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives?
