In our survey fielded from March 3 to April 4, 2024 – prior to the Biden administration’s statement about halting the shipment of some arms to Israel – Israelis offer somewhat mixed reviews of President Joe Biden and his actions during the conflict. For example, while 57% of Israelis express confidence in U.S. President Joe Biden to do the right thing regarding world affairs, a similar share (60%) disapprove of his handling of the ongoing war. Still, roughly seven-in-ten Israelis want the U.S. to play a major role in diplomatically resolving the conflict, more than say this about the United…

Despite their mixed opinions about the military response to Hamas and concerns about the war expanding and going on a long time, most Israelis were confident in our recent survey (conducted in March and early April) that their country will achieve its war aims. By roughly two to one, more feel optimistic than pessimistic about the future of Israel’s national security. However, this optimism does not extend to the prospect of peaceful coexistence alongside a Palestinian state, which Israelis now see as less likely than they did in recent years. A plurality of Israelis also think that Israel should govern…
When a star is born or dies, or when any other very energetic phenomenon occurs in the universe, it emits X-rays, which are high-energy light particles that aren’t visible to the naked eye. These X-rays are the same kind that doctors use to take pictures of broken bones inside the body. But instead of looking at the shadows produced by the bones stopping X-rays inside of a person, astronomers detect X-rays flying through space to get images of events such as black holes and supernovae. Images and spectra – charts showing the distribution of light across different wavelengths from an…

Christian Brice, aged 26, returned to Cameroon with the support of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) as part of its Protection, Return and Reintegration Programme for Migrants in Sub-Saharan Africa, funded by the European Union.

Unfortunately, as soon as he arrived in Tunisia, he realised that these were false promises. Christian had to face alone the…
In 2023, 8% of enterprises in the EU with 10 or more employees used Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to conduct their business. This data comes from the newly updated Statistics Explained article on the use of artificial intelligence in enterprises. Artificial intelligence refers to systems that use technologies such as text mining, computer vision, speech recognition, natural language generation, machine learning and deep learning to gather and/or use data to predict, recommend or decide – with varying levels of autonomy – the best action to achieve specific goals. The highest shares of enterprises with 10 or more employees using AI…
In April 2022, Apple came under scrutiny when the Photos app was discovered to have blocked photos taken at sites related to the Holocaust. A team of journalists at the tech website 9to5Mac were analyzing an iPhone beta update, when they found a list of 12 “sensitive locations” set to be excluded from Memories. These locations included the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and the Berlin Holocaust Memorial. 9to5Mac described the block as an attempt to avoid the creation of “unwanted memories.” My recent study examined the comment section of the original 9to5Mac article to gauge how iPhone users and readers reacted…
