Magnus Fiskesjö, EAP/PACS/SEAP
"One of history’s largest operations to confiscate children to force-assimilate them is currently under way in China’s colonized territories," writes Magnus Fiskesjö in a CETNI report published July 19.
"One of history’s largest operations to confiscate children to force-assimilate them is currently under way in China’s colonized territories," write Magnus Fiskesjö and Rukiye Turdush. "Organized by the Chinese government, this massive campaign forms part of a set of measures targeting twelve to fifteen million ethnic Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Turkic ethnicities who live in East Turkistan."
Fiskesjö and Turdush's report on the events in China's territories is written in conjunction with the symposium on "Uyghur Children in China’s Genocide," held at Cornell University in October 2023.

Netanyahu vs. The Generals
September 12, 2024
12:00 pm
Uris Hall, G08
The Civil-Military Rift in Contemporary Israel
The era of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has been characterized by unprecedented civil-military tensions. Netanyahu’s carefully cultivated self-image as Israel’s “Mr. Security” has long been rejected by the Israeli national security community, which has opposed both his leadership and his policies, particularly with respect to the Palestinians. In recent years, populist-nationalist politicians allied with Netanyahu have stepped up their attacks on the heads of the Israeli army, the Mossad intelligence agency, and the Shin Bet domestic security service in what has become part of a broader pattern of assaults on state institutions. This development has major implications for Israel’s future as a democracy, its relations with the Palestinians, and its relationship with the United States, Israel’s most important ally.
