The persistence of an old anti-Semitic myth
Quick Glance: The Legacy of an Ancient Anti-Semitic Myth
  • Mary Antin recounts the false accusations against Jews regarding the Passover festival in a 1911 article in The Atlantic.

  • The 'blood libel', rooted in medieval beliefs, continues to have deadly consequences, exemplified by the case of Russian Jew Menachem Mendel Beilis.

  • Contemporary dissemination of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish ritual murders persists, as evidenced by recent events.

  • Despite the historical backdrop, the Passover celebration remains a traditional festival unrelated to the false accusations.

Over 281 million people faced acute food insecurity in 2023, UN says
Quick Glance: Over 280 Million People Worldwide Affected by Severe Hunger
  • Nearly 282 million individuals across various countries faced acute hunger in 2023, with the war-torn Gaza Strip having the highest number of people experiencing famine.

  • The United Nations report revealed that 24 million more people were dealing with acute food shortages compared to 2022, primarily due to a significant decline in food security, especially in Gaza and Sudan.

  • Of those on the brink of famine - 577,000 individuals - over 80% were located in Gaza, while numerous others in nations like South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Somalia, and Mali were also enduring extreme hunger.

  • UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres labeled the report as 'a reckoning of human failure' and emphasized the need for an urgent response to address the root causes of acute hunger and malnutrition, as well as overhaul food supply systems.
