Grim Thought On Iran - Mar26,'26

 

A GRIM THOUGHT ON IRAN – by Jeffrey David Sachs, an American economist and public policy analyst

 

[TRANSCRIBED FROM A VIDEO] - March, 2026

 

We are heading to World War III and we are being led by extraordinarily violent governments in Israel and the United States. I see a calamity building and a lot of blood flowing. It’s a kind of mass murder of civilians by Israel and the United States. This is shocking actually.

 

We should keep it in mind that this is not a targeted bombing, this is carpet bombing in Tehran. And I’ve been speaking on the phone with absolutely desperate people in Tehran in the last 48 hours and it’s carpet bombing. And they are killing indiscriminately.

 

So this is not a disaster that is likely to go away. No one’s claiming in Israel or the U.S. that it’s likely to go away. And the consequences for the world will be utterly awful.

 

And, we have a lot of Americans. We have a very particular society. We have a lot of Americans who are saying, “Move on, this is Armageddon coming. This is the promised end of the world.”

 

We are hearing lots of reports about this being preached in the military. We’re seeing a lot of people who believe that the worse it gets, the closer we are to the second coming of Jesus Christ. And that’s a motivating factor in the United States I have to tell you. It’s a significant part of Mr Trump’s base and so bad news is not necessarily deterrence. It may just mean escalation to Armageddon. 

 

It’s a grim situation we are in. We have not seen anything like it actually, since World War II. This is even beyond the Iraq War. They then had, I won’t say the dignity, but they then had the impulse to hide the motivations. Here there is no impulse to hide the motivations. It’s just a complete “Kill anybody and kill everybody” and overturn, this society of 100 million people and the ancient society of 5,000 years. So it’s dreadful.

Dismantling of UNRWA - Gaza - Mar24,'26

DISMANTLING OF UNRWA

- by Jamie Munn CEO/ Executive Director, ICVA (March 2026)

I am writing this in a personal capacity, not in my role, because this is one of those moments where staying quiet does not feel right.

I’ll be blunt. I am furious about what is happening to UNRWA and even more furious about how quiet so many of us are.

Philippe Lazzarini's article in The Guardian should be required reading for anyone who works in humanitarian action, diplomacy, or international cooperation. Because what he is describing is not just a crisis in Gaza. It is the dismantling of one of the core institutions of the international humanitarian system in full view of the world.

UNRWA is not an abstract UN agency.
It is schools.
It is primary healthcare.
It is food distribution.
It is protection.
It is dignity for millions of Palestinian refugees.

If UNRWA collapses, we are not just losing an organisation. We are signalling that humanitarian institutions can be dismantled by a state, that humanitarian workers can be killed, and that an entire civilian population can be collectively punished ... and the world will move on.

What troubles me most right now is not just what is happening, but how easily political and humanitarian leaders are distracted. How quickly the conversation moves. How comfortable some have become with things that should be absolutely unacceptable.

We cannot spend our careers talking about international humanitarian law, multilateralism, and a rules-based order, and then fall strangely quiet when those very principles are being tested in the most visible way possible.
Silence is not neutrality. Silence is a choice.

And this is a moment where we should be choosing to speak, dare I say SHOUT, in support of UNRWA, in support of humanitarian workers, and in support of the people of Palestine.

History does not judge us by the meetings we attended or the statements we carefully drafted.

It judges us by the moments when speaking up was uncomfortable and whether we did it anyway.

MUFTI TAQI USMANI IS  A RESPECTABLE ISLAMIC SCHOLAR OF PAKISTAN WHO HAS WRITTEN BOOKS ON ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY.

In 2005, I bought a booklet of about 20-25 pages written by him, titled "MUSEEBAT PER SABAR KARAIN" (HAVE PATIENCE IN HARDSHIPS). It was about how to be patient during hardships and is a very inspirational life-changing book.
