Israel’s missed opportunities for peace

Israel has squandered so many opportunities for peace that its very identity as a ‘Jewish state’ is in jeopardy.

Israel and Egypt’s other revolution

The creation of Israel sparked a revolution in Egypt, and Nasser, the legendary champion of the Arab cause, once sought peace with the Jewish state.

"The American Library Association documented 729 attempts to censor library materials in 2021, targeting 1,597 titles." US conservatives' attacks on alleged leftist "cancel culture" is a decoy to draw attention away from their war on books and knowledge. theguardian.com/books/2022/se…

Abiy Ahmed is a case in point of why Nobel peace prizes should not be too hastily awarded. Ahmed turned out to be a warmonger instead of a peacemaker. And the people of Tigray are paying a heavy human price. twitter.com/NewYorker/stat…

It sounds like the punchline to a cruel joke that the woman on course to become Italy's first female prime minister leads a neo-fascistic party called Brothers of Italy which has a hostile anti-women agenda. #Italia #ItalianElections #GiorgiaMeloni

Shana tova to my Jewish friends and Jews around the world on the occasion of Rosh HaShanah. In both Hebrew and Arabic, we don't refer to a new year but to the 'head' of the year. May this year's head be sane, sensible and enjoy peace of mind.

Even though cats are highly individualistic and far less likely to imitate others than people are, we say "copycat" rather than "copyhuman".

The Iranian regime so fears women that it murdered Mahsa Amini for wearing her hijab in a way they did not approve of. May she rest in peace. Since then, the regime has killed 35 protesters. #IranProtests2022 rfi.fr/en/internation…

Trickle down economics only works if the rich are altruistic. There is a reason why most of them are rich - and it isn’t their altruism that springs to mind twitter.com/diabolicalidea…

(Wealthy) democracies treat citizens better than foreigners. Poor autocracies treat (wealthy) foreigners better than citizens.
