Everything else you need to know

⚖️ A new trial for Trump's "insurrection" has begun. Similar to a lawsuit filed in Colorado, one in Minnesota seeks to bar Trump from running for office in 2024 by accusing him of being responsible for the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and citing the "insurrection" section of the Constitution. The secretary of state is the target of the case, arguing that he is not qualified to determine a candidate's eligibility. The NBC News

Antisemitism in Europe is on the rise

Here is what's going on: Amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict, a wave of antisemitism has swept across Europe. Antisemitic occurrences in Germany reportedly increased by 240%, 1,300% in London, and 300% in Austria during October.

• Reaction: Some have been instructed not to wear a kippah in public, and security at Jewish institutions has been stepped up.

In Germany: In celebration of Hamas's unexpected attack, supporters in Berlin distributed pastries on the day of the incident. Molotov cocktails were hurled at a synagogue, and Swastikas bearing the slogan "Kill Jews" were painted on a remnant of the Berlin Wall. A guy was also detained by the authorities on suspicion of preparing to crash a car into pro-Israel demonstrators.

• Sentiment: According to a July poll, almost 25% of Muslims in Germany concur that "Wealthy Jews are the real rulers of the world."

In France: In Paris, Stars of David were used to identify buildings. A Jewish lawmaker received additional threats, and someone scrawled "Killing Jews is a duty" on a structure.

In Russia: When word spread that a flight from Tel Aviv was arriving, an antisemitic mob attacked an airport in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region, with the intention of attacking Jewish or Israeli passengers. Another Dagestani mob had raided a motel the day before, searching for Jews, and had gone when none were found.

Why it's important: In European society, antisemitism has always been a problem, and since 2000, the number of hate crimes has significantly increased. Some people wrote it off, but it's now revealed. The issue is obvious and raises concerns about the future of the Jewish community in Europe.

WASHINGTON D.C

Speaker Mike Johnson's personal perspectives

Here is what's going on: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been linked to "Christian nationalism" in a rush of pieces published by legacy media sites because of his opinions on marriage, sexuality, and the "so-called separation of church and state."

• The story: According to the media, the conservative speaker is "the embodiment of white Christian nationalism," advocating "Christian supremacy" and posing a threat to "democracy" with "theocracy." Writers assert that Christians like him are either "a bigger threat" or comparable to Islamic terror organizations like the Taliban and Hamas.

How does he respond? In response, Johnson stated, "I'm not trying to establish Christianity as the national religion or anything." "That's not at all what this is about." Johnson has previously said that the founders intended to defend the church from an invading state, not the other way around and that his faith "informs everything" he does in his capacity as an official.

• Is that too much? Surveys have repeatedly revealed that about half of Americans wish to live in a "Christian nation" and believe that legislation should be based on the Bible.

Why it's important: Johnson exhibits more indications of a genuine belief system than Republicans, who frequently utilize Christian-friendly rhetoric to gain over voters. In spite of America's long history with such views, he is labeled an extremist there for this.

• The trend: When Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett gained notoriety, reporters similarly uncovered whatever they could about her Catholic upbringing. Because of this, some have painted her as a cultist and claimed that her opposition to Roe v. Wade sprang from sexist views.

The breakdown of international denuclearization

Here is what's going on: The most recent indication that nuclear weapons constraints are collapsing is Russia's recent withdrawal from a worldwide treaty prohibiting nuclear tests.

Why it’s important: Without safeguards, the likelihood of disaster rises as a world dominated by many nuclear countries becomes more likely.

The Defense: In 2001, the bilateral Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which restricted anti-nuclear weapons, was terminated by the previous President George W. Bush. Bush asserted that the deal made America's War on Terror harder.

The Offense: Citing Russia's noncompliance, former President Donald Trump withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The deal decreased the number of short-range nuclear weapons, many of which were located in Europe and would probably serve as the initial firepower for a nuclear conflict.

• Chinese threats: Should the necessity arise, Trump also desired the ability to station short-range weapons against China. China was not a signatory to any US-Russian nuclear accords because it was not a significant factor in the Cold War. It now has a big edge because of this.

What remains? There is still the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which prohibits nations from developing nuclear weapons. However, it was unable to prevent North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel, or Pakistan from obtaining nuclear weapons, and it lacked the power to effectively penalize states that disobey it.

• Start's demise: Russia also withdrew from New START this year, reducing the combined quantity of missile launchers that both the US and Russia owned. Signed in 2011, and extended for an additional five years in 2021, it is the final bilateral agreement that exists between the two countries.
