The Israeli military is trying to exterminate Hamas and all the innocent civilians in Gaza who come in its way
LIKE the avenging God of the Old Testament, Israel is raining down death and destruction on the people of Gaza. Ordinary citizens, who have no say over Hamas, have to pay the price for a militant organisation’s murderous assault. Both Israel and Hamas are blind to the sufferings of the people caught in this meaningless bloodletting.
Israel’s relentless onslaught has cost more than 11,700 lives—the majority of them helpless children and women. Al Shifa and Al Quds, the two biggest hospitals in Gaza, have shut down. Doctors who had kept the hospitals working—despite lack of medicines, food, electricity and water—have now been forced to close their doors. On the other side is the fate of the over 200 hostages taken by Hamas. What of them? Among them, many are old; there are several children too. But no one has a clue. Civilians on both sides are pawns in the power game between Israel and Hamas. At a time of acute shortage in Gaza, are inno cent civilians being provided with food or water? Hamas has claimed that 50 of the captives were killed in Israeli bombardment.
Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to get back Israeli civilians taken hostage by Hamas fighters on October 7. On November 11, demonstrations were held in several places in Israel for their release, the main gathering was in Tel Aviv. The demonstrators vented their anger against Netanyahu for not being able to bring back the hostages. Several relatives of hostages said the priority should be to rescue the hostages. “Do not talk to me about conquering; do not talk to me about flattening [Gaza]. Do not talk at all. Just take action… bring them home now,” Noam Perry, the daughter of a 79yearold hostage, said.

Fully-loaded Magazine
It was in 2012 when I walked into the Delhi Outlook Magazine office and realised that this was a place that was throbbing with a rare energy that newsrooms are known for and I knew I'd always keep that intact. To be on the other side of a media organisation is a difficult road to navigate and yet, it comes with a unique fulfilment that I have felt often as I have defended the editorial freedom and integrity as the CEO.

Diary
Over 30 years ago, when I joined the weekly Sunday as a reporter, everyone around me said it was a big mistake. 'The age of magazines is over' was the chorus. Sunday Magazine did close down for various reasons but the age of magazines was not over. Evidently, it still isn't as this special issue of '30 Years of Outlook' proves. There is something exciting, unpredictable and complete about a magazine. The thrill of sitting down with a new edition of a magazine, holding the cover to the light to examine its design, opening the first pages, to look at the contents to savour what's inside, then to flip the pages to give a look-see at the various stories and articles, stopping at some stunning photograph or an illustration, and then finally zeroing in on which article to start reading from is a unique experience.

To Men Who Write Women Off
“Women feel differently, so they talk differently, have a different relationship to words and to ideas of which these are the vehicle. Asserting difference at the same time as demanding equal rights is obviously the position to take. We must impose female cultural models, which have a universal value in a world where ‘universal’ equals ‘masculine’. In other words, cultivate marginality until the margin takes up half the page. We have a long way to go...”—Marina Yaguello, French linguist
