Ancient Egypt is at the heart of so much history - including the occultism of interwar Britain, as the source of divine and secret wisdom. @jos_betts takes a closer look for @newlinesmag.

The land of Osiris and Set was hugely important to two of the period’s occultists, though in very different ways

The shooting of Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi is an obscenity beyond words. The targeting and murder of Palestinian journalists MUST now be the subject of independent criminal investigations.

This was Palestinian journalist Saleh AlJafarawi’s final post before he was murdered today. He was on Israel’s list of journalists marked for assassination, the same list that Anas Al Sharif and Hossam Shabat were on. He was 28 years old. The genocide is not over.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

This belongs in every headline today!! Abducting him from inside a hospital was a war crime. Killing his son, Ibrahim, was a war crime. Destroying the hospital was a war crime. Holding him, torturing him, for ten months now, is a war crime. Staying silent in the face of all

For the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis. And the shift just isn’t with Democrats. Younger Republicans — those under 50 — are 41 points less likely than older Republicans to side with Israelis.

I’m sorry, but I need to say this. It’s deeply upsetting that so few people are talking about the Palestinian detainees who are occasionally released by Israel. This is a photo of one of them, released just five days ago after being held for months. These individuals have

Painfully brilliant writing from my colleague Samer Badawi, about "the vertigo, felt by all Palestinians, at having become at once the object of the world’s pity and the subject of its scorn." For @newlinesmag.
