Assuming that the war began with an assertive Chinese move in the East or South China Sea, the United States could plausibly paint China as the aggressor, and establish itself as the focal point for balancing behavior in the region. Chinese aggression might also spur regional allies (especially Japan) to increase their defense expenditures.

| U.S. top court will not revive verdict against Palestinian Authority, PLO Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:29 AM PDT  By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization gained a legal victory at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday as the justices refused to consider reinstating a $655.5 million jury award won against them by 11 American families over militant attacks in Israel. The court declined to hear the families' appeal of a lower court's 2016 ruling throwing out the jury award that was secured in a lawsuit brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law allowing American victims of international terrorism to seek damages in U.S. courts. The families had looked to hold the Palestinian Authority and PLO liable for six shootings and bombings between 2002 and 2004 in the Jerusalem area that killed 33 people, including several Americans, and wounded more than 450.

| At least 20 people dead in clashes between militants and Indian army in Kashmir Posted: 01 Apr 2018 03:10 PM PDT  Indian security forces killed at least three civilians and wounded about 70 in restive Kashmir on Sunday when hundreds of people tried to prevent them from carrying out operations against suspected militants, police and residents said. At least 17 other people, including 13 suspected militants, were killed in gunbattles during the day in southern Kashmir, police officials said, the worst violence in the region this year. When hundreds of people came out on the streets of Kachdoora village in Shopian district to try to halt a gunbattle between militants and security forces, troops used tear gas and pellet guns to disperse the crowd. They later opened fire. Locals said that after the protests, the security forces called off the operation. Police said five militants and three soldiers were killed in the fighting. Muslim separatists have been waging a violent campaign against Indian rule since the late 1980s in Indian-held Kashmir.

SP Vaid, the state director general of police, said the army received information on Saturday night about militants hiding in an area near Dragad village, about 30 miles south of Kashmir's capital of Srinagar and also in Shopian district. "In Dragad, 7 bodies of militants were recovered including top commanders. They were killed in a gunbattle," Mr Vaid said, adding that the owner of the house in which the militants were trapped was also killed.

The service then moved to a plan to build two Virginia-class submarines and one Columbia-class submarine concurrently, according to findings from a Navy assessment.

| Jeremy Corbyn Facebook account deleted as anti-Semitism row escalates Posted: 01 Apr 2018 05:31 AM PDT  Jeremy Corbyn's personal Facebook page appears to have been deleted after it emerged he was a member of five groups which contained anti-Semitic postings. The link for the Labour leader's personal Facebook page now says "sorry, this content isn't available right now" following mounting criticism of his handling of anti-Semitism in the party. The message that now greats visitors to Jeremy Corbyn's Facebook page Mr Corbyn belonged to a group containing posts about the Rothschilds, a Jewish family often criticised in anti-Semitic conspiracy claiming that Jews control world finance. Members compared Israel and the Nazis, and one comments about 'Antichrist Zionist Rothschild Jews'. Another group, Labour For Democratic Socialism, includes discussions of Holocaust denial and the Rothschilds. My Corbyn has strenuously denied that he was aware of the posts. It comes after twelve senior staff working for Mr Corbyn were alleged to have been members of Facebook groups containing anti-Semitic content. Mr Corbyn was an active user of his Facebook account before he became Labour leader. Mr Corbyn still has his official page on Facebook, which he posted his Easter greeting message. Leading members of the Labour party have accused Mr Corbyn of letting the country down. Lord Levy, Lord Winston and Lord Blunkett insisted Mr Corbyn and his supporters had encouraged "endemic" anti-Semitism in Labour.The anti-Semitism row continues to engulf the Labour party. anti-semitism - epstein puff Christine Shawcroft, a close ally of Mr Corbyn, was forced to step down as chair of Labour's disciplinary panel on Thursday. She had claimed that concerns about anti-Semitism were politically motivated and an attempt to undermine the Labour leader. Last week, an official complaint made against Mr Corbyn by members of the Jewish community was dismissed by the Labour Party. The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism submitted the complaint last Wednesday, alleging the Labour leader's failure to stamp out hatred during the last three years had brought his party into disrepute. Less than 24 hours after its receipt was acknowledged, sources at the party close to Mr Corbyn said that it had been decided it did not cross the threshold for investigation. Mrs Shawcroft was replaced on Labour's ruling body by Eddie Izzard, the comedian. Labour and anti-Semitism | Read more In a statement, Izzard said the party must now rebuild relations with the Jewish community. "Although this isn't the manner in which I had hoped to join the NEC I'm honoured to step up and represent Labour members at the heart of our party," he said. "This is a very important time for the Labour Party and we must stamp out completely the stain of anti-Semitism from a minority of members. It has no place in our party. "I have campaigned against hate my whole life and will continue to do so wherever it rears its ugly head. "We must make amends and repair the damage with the Jewish community as Jeremy Corbyn has promised to do. "We must get past this, for the good of the people Labour seeks to represent. "We must unite our party around the platform of hope that Jeremy Corbyn has built so that we can kick out this terrible Tory government and build a Britain for the many not the few."
