Israel Balagan

The word "balagan" in Hebrew is often used to describe chaos, confusion, or conflict. But can Israel still claim to be the only democracy in the Middle East, or is it transforming into a rogue state operating outside international law? October 7 marks the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, which resulted in the killing of approximately 1,200 people in a single day. Since then, the Netanyahu government and the IDF have launched an ongoing war against Hamas and Hezbollah, resulting in unprecedented destruction, with tens of thousands killed across Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

Wake Up Serbia! The Student Uprising

In a Europe where youth drift between political apathy and the lure of far-right populism, Serbia’s students rise in defiance. What began with the deadly collapse of Novi Sad’s train station — a tragedy that exposed endemic corruption — ignited the longest student strike in modern European history. From university occupations to peaceful marches challenging Aleksandar Vučić’s regime, a new generation dares to imagine democracy against fear, repression, and the shadows of the Balkan wars. Can a nonviolent revolution succeed in the 21st century? Why is Europe silent? And can Serbia break free from ultranationalism to claim a plural and democratic future? With exclusive access inside Belgrade’s University of Dramatic Arts — the birthplace and nerve center of the uprising — Point of No Return captures the victories, contradictions, and struggles of a movement whose battle of ideas could shape not only Serbia’s destiny, but that of a Europe in crisis.
