Yet so tragic that Father Paolo dall'Oglio, who restored the monastery as his personal mission in life, disappeared in Raqqa trying to negotiate the release of hostages from ISIS in 2013. Keenly anti-Assad, he would have been so euphoric that the Syrian Revolution finally toppled

Shall I tell you what’s worse? BBC News repeated the same line uncritically as their own reporting
October 7, 2023 was not "the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the holocaust." First, it was not the deadliest. That would be the anti-Jewish Argentinian Junta's mass murder of thousands of Jews in the late 1970s & early 1980s. This campaign was -- wait for it --

When a Palestinian scholar of Arabic literature in Haifa says they have been disinvited from a conference in an Arab country without diplomatic relations w Israel bc the organisers feared criticism from BDS, something is screwy. "Should I be boycotting myself?" the scholar asks
