Last-ditch efforts for Gaza ceasefire underway "Egypt, Qatar and the US have come together to present Hamas with a revised ceasefire proposal, originally drafted by Washington's Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. Sources familiar with the talks say this is being described as the last chance to make a deal. The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has been given 48 hours to respond." Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza "Israel is said to be accelerating its military offensive, aiming to seize control of about seventy-five percent of the territory within the next two months. That means nearly two million Palestinians would be forced into just a quarter of Gaza. A recent high-level briefing reportedly laid out these plans. By July, Israeli forces would occupy around two hundred and seventy five square kilometres of the coastal enclave—out of Gaza's total three hundred and sixty five. The Palestinian population would be confined to three areas: Gaza City in the north, central Gaza's refugee camps, and the Masawi area down south." US Golden Dome project is 'nuclear war scenario': North Korea "North Korea is slamming the United States over its new Golden Dome missile defence project, calling it a dangerous step toward nuclear war. President Trump announced the programme, worth one hundred and seventy five billion dollars, on May 20th, saying a design had been chosen and a lead appointed to manage the effort. In a statement released by state media, North Korea's Foreign Ministry accused Washington of arrogance and high-handedness. Officials there described the project as part of a ""space-based nuclear war scenario"" and said it perfectly reflects the ""America First"" mindset." US urges Israel to 'stay united' on Iran "The US is urging Israel to remain unified as talks continue with Iran over its nuclear programme. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she had a direct and honest conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the ongoing negotiations. According to her, President Trump specifically asked her to deliver the message in person, stressing the need for unity while discussions play out." Anti-Muslim lawmaker Wilders unveils 10-point migration crackdown plan "Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders is once again stirring controversy with a new ten-point plan aimed at slashing immigration. He's also putting pressure on the ruling coalition, warning he might pull his support if his demands aren't met. The plan includes some hardline measures like deploying the army to secure land borders and turning away all asylum-seekers at the point of entry. He also wants a temporary freeze on family reunification for accepted refugees."

On this episode of the Haaretz Podcast, Dutch journalist David de Jong and host Allison Kaplan Sommer discuss the violence against Israeli soccer fans on the streets of Amsterdam last weekend, and the media coverage of the events in Israel and the Netherlands, characterized by conflicting narratives and a flurry of viral videos that were often misleading.  De Jong, a financial journalist who has covered the Gaza War over the past year, said the streets of Amsterdam were the last place he expected to watch the Middle East conflict play out. He also explained why the violence that erupted following the Maccabi Tel Aviv - Ajax match is a "boon" for the anti-immigration far-right parties in the Netherlands and across Europe. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week has seen stories of bigotry, fuelled by bad information. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots sprung up across the UK, with no factual basis in the incident that triggered them - a stabbing attack that killed three young girls in Southport last Monday, founded on a widespread fake news story that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker who arrived ‘illegally' by boat. But some mainstream news outlets seemed to have trouble naming the problem. Riots were labelled ‘protests'. Attacking a mosque was called ‘disorder'. And the word Islamophobia? That was nowhere to be found. This week we are joined by Rizwana Hamid, award-winning journalist and the director of The Centre for Media Monitoring - which promotes accurate, fair and responsible reporting of Muslims & Islam. We discuss longstanding Islamophobia in the British media, the treatment of Zarah Sultana MP on Good Morning Britain, and smash tropes and stereotypes including accusations of grooming gangs and extremism. You'll also hear from Sabah Ahmedi, aka @theyoungimam, who invites those who disagree with or fear his faith to step out of their comfort zone, visit a mosque, and see for themselves. Plus, your round-up of the headlines through a Media Storm lens, including tackling the disinformation surrounding the ‘gender eligibility' of two Olympic boxers - Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting.

Six months have passed since the president of Harvard University was forced to resign after she refused to sanction pro-Palestinian protesters. Claudine Gay was one of several university leaders who came under fire at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C., last December during an investigation into how America's Ivy League schools were failing their Jewish students and staff. In January, Harvard appointed a presidential task force to study antisemitism, and named professor Derek Penslar as co-chair. Penslar is a prominent Canadian scholar of Jewish history who runs Harvard's Jewish studies centre. Just a few weeks ago, the task force issued an interim report, saying it couldn't wait until the fall because they'd found a “dire” situation facing Harvard's Israeli students, including derision and social exclusion. Harvard faculty and teaching assistants were also reportedly discriminating against and harassing pro-Israel students. On Tuesday, the report was publicly slammed by 28 Republican lawmakers as weak and a “re-inventing of the wheel”, while some Harvard Jewish students and leaders are upset the antisemitism group is committed to working closely with Harvard's other task force currently studying anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias. Derek Penslar joins The CJN Daily from Toronto to respond to the criticism, and explain why he nearly quit in the face of allegations he wasn't Zionist enough to do the job. What we talked about: Read the Harvard Presidential Task Force on Combatting Antisemitism's preliminary report, and read the interim report from the Task Force on Anti-Muslim and Anti-Arab bias, both published on June 26, 2024.  Read the letter from 28 Republican members of Congress slamming Harvard's antisemitism task force's findings, and released to the interim Harvard president on July 16.  Read why Derek Penslar thought anti-Zionism was not a big problem for university campuses back in 2014, in the CJN archives. **Credits: ** The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds (Routledge, 2024) investigates the peculiar absence of Islam and Muslims from Shakespeare's canon. While many of Shakespeare's plays were set in the Mediterranean, a geography occupied by Muslim empires and cultures, his work eschews direct engagement with the religion and its people. This erasure is striking given the popularity of this topic in the plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries.  By exploring the limited ways in which Shakespeare uses Islamic and Muslim tropes and topoi, Ambereen Dadabhoy, Associate Professor of Literature at Harvey Mudd College, argues that Islam and Muslim cultures function as an alternate or shadow text in his works, ranging from his staged Mediterranean plays to his histories and comedies. By consigning the diverse cultures of the Islamic regimes that occupied and populated the early modern Mediterranean, Shakespeare constructs a Europe and Mediterranean freed from the presence of non-white, non-European, and non-Christian Others, which belied the reality of the world in which he lived. Focusing on the Muslims at the margins of Shakespeare's works, Dadabhoy reveals that Islam and its cultures informed the plots, themes, and intellectual investments of Shakespeare's plays.  In our conversation we discussed Shakespeare's worldmaking and the social and political worlds of western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Ottoman empires, famous plays, such as The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, and Othello, the figure of the “Moor,” and the threat of turning “Turk,” the intersection of race and geography in Shakespeare's works, disrupting Anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia through critical reading, and Muslim adaptations of Shakespeare.

Trey's Table Season 4: Episode 6 Adeel Mangi and Anti-Muslim Bias Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution states that there shall be no religious test for holding any federal office. Last year, President Biden nominated Attorney Adeel Mangi for a position as a federal judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. Attorney Mangi is 47 years old, a graduate of Harvard Law School and has had a distinguished career as an attorney who has provided legal services to the members of the Muslim community. The American Bar Association rated him as highly qualified and when his nomination was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee On paper he is the perfect nominee. But he was born in Pakistan and he is Muslim. And those are two things that Republicans have been using against him in an effort to keep him off the federal bench. https://youtu.be/wd4Qhmj93Fw?s...https://youtu.be/qlzo53rQ6kw?s...

*) Anti-Muslim record, rights abuses hounds Modi as he makes US state visit Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is embarking on a trip to the US, kicking off his visit with a highly-publicised yoga session in New York and capping it off with a state dinner at the White House on Thursday night. But accusations of inciting anti-Muslim violence and other human rights abuses are hounding him. Several US Congress members said they are boycotting his address before a joint session of the US Congress. On Wednesday, Modi's trip encountered an embarrassing hitch when he arrived 30 minutes late to a planned event with US First Lady Jill Biden. Later on Thursday, Modi and President Joe Biden are expected to announce deals that would deepen geopolitical and technology ties between the US and India. *) Western media under fire for slanted coverage of refugee tragedy and missing Titan sub Netizens are criticising what they described as “biased” media coverage and disparity in emergency response, between the deadly sinking of a fishing trawler carrying hundreds of refugees in the Mediterranean, and the missing Titan submersible, carrying five explorers including at least two billionaires. Some social media users say they are frustrated to see the nonstop media coverage of the missing tourist submersible, which is being searched in the North Atlantic by a multinational response team. In contrast, emergency response came late when scores of nameless refugees escaping wars and famine drowned off the Greek coast last week. *) Blast in China restaurant leaves dozens dead At least 31 people were killed following a gas explosion in northwestern China. The blast tore through a restaurant in Yinchuan, the capital of the traditionally Muslim Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, as people gathered ahead of the Dragon Boat Festival. The explosion left many people unconscious, many needing to be carried out of the shop. Chinese President Xi Jinping has demanded urgent medical care for the injured and a safety overhaul after the incident. *) Pentagon leak suspect, pleads not guilty The US airman accused of leaking top secret Pentagon documents online has pleaded not guilty to charges that could send him to prison for decades. Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old National Guard IT specialist was arrested in April for allegedly orchestrating the most damaging leak of US classified documents in a decade. He is facing six counts of retaining and transmitting national defence information. Each count carries sentences of up to 10 years in prison. His lawyer asked that he be released pending trial but the judge denied the request. Teixeira is suspected of posting the documents — some dated as recently as early March — to a private chat group on the social media platform Discord. And finally… *) Türkiye's first AI chatbot 'TurcoAI' makes debut A Turkish artificial intelligence robot developed entirely by Turkish entrepreneurs using domestic resources has been released on the market. TurcoAI is one of the first Turkish projects in the billion-dollar artificial intelligence sector. TurcoAI can comprehend emotional algorithms specific to Turkish society, use the Turkish language, and offer immersive encounters through written and visual materials. Muhammed Yildiz, the founder of TurcoAI, says his project can create and consume content in more than 40 languages. He said that TurcoAI represents a significant leap in Türkiye's technological landscape, contributing to its position as a prominent techno hub in the world.

Arson and vandalism at houses of worship. Bullying at schools and harassment at the grocery store. Political scapegoating and institutionalized discrimination. Muslims in the United States--and beyond--have faced Islamophobia in a range of forms. This ground-breaking book argues that Christians should be at the forefront of efforts to end the prejudice, discrimination, and violence, that Muslims face. Writing for Christians of all denominations, Jordan Denari Duffner offers an introduction to Islamophobia, discusses the unfortunate ways that Christians have contributed to it, and offers practical steps for standing in solidarity with Muslims. Viewing Islamophobia as both a social justice and a religious freedom issue, Duffner makes the case that Christian faith calls us to combat religious discrimination even when it is not directed toward our own faith community. She weaves together insights from Catholic social teaching, examples from Protestant leaders, and expertise from Muslim scholars and activists, resulting in a compelling book that will be of interest to academic and lay audiences alike.

A diplomatic firestorm has engulfed India's ruling party, the BJP, following the sanctioning of two party spokespersons over insulting remarks the pair are reported to have made toward Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. Several Gulf countries described the comments as “insulting.” And in April, the UN refugee agency said it was on "high alert" for cases of human trafficking among Ukrainian refugees, 90% of whom are women and children. In Romania, which had relatively high rates of trafficking and exploitation even before the war, nonprofit groups are working to keep refugees safe. Plus, Colombia's first all-female orchestra has developed a strategy to encourage women to succeed and rise to leadership positions in classical music.
