Here is my latest podcast for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social a great interview with Fida and and Sabri Jiryis discussing a book published a long time ago, but just recently translated. The Foundations of Zionism newbooksnetwork.com/the-foundati...

Excellent article that everyone should read.

Glad to share my latest article published by the Jerusalem Quarterly (104) discussing the ways in which we can teach the history of Jerusalem www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1658...

This is interesting. When I teach the Making of the Middle East, I started asking students: what if? It's interesting to see how many paths may have been taken.

By 1914, the Ottoman empire looked much more promising as a multiethnic society than a multireligious one. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/10/o...

Happy to see the latest work of my good friend Lee Brice

Besides, not only Trump tends to disappoint, also Netanyahu, which has more reasons to see on of these 'if' failing than anybody else.

Here is the latest episode of Jerusalem Unplugged with Michael Kinnamon and Philip Graubart discussing their novels and Jerusalem. shows.acast.com/687ff289498a...

Meloni is now suggesting that the flotilla may lead to the failure of the ceasefire, as if there was one in place. The reality is that she's under a lot of pressure, should something happen to the flotilla, she may have to (unwillingly) take action so much is the popular support for Gaza now.

So in the of the rubbles and destruction, they found documents, I mean paper and folders. If it was not in the middle of a genocide, it could be a good joke.

Maybe there's even some good in the plan, yet it doesn't take into account the larger picture of the West Bank, Palestine, the future of the people under Israeli rule, utltimately it's whitewashing Israel. I hope peace for the people of Gaza and accountability for those who bear responsability

So far Trump has regurgitated tropes, like the conflict is tousands of years old, that Israel left Gaza to Hamas peacefully etc etc..he essentially stated no state for the Palestinians, and then, what is the plan?

Another @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social episode. I interviewed Elizabeth Imber discussing her latest book Uncertain Empire Jews, Nationalism, and the Fate of British Imperialism published by @stanfordpress.bsky.social newbooksnetwork.com/uncertain-em...

latest interview for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social with Paris Papamichos discussing his new book on Saloniki @stanfordpress.bsky.social newbooksnetwork.com/the-business...

Some wise advice on your academia.edu account. It's probably time to delete it.

The comparison of Israel to Sparta is literally what Hannah Arendt predicted would happen back in 1947.

We don't know yet anything about motivations, but given my experience teaching about conspiracy theories, I learned that at times those who are dissatisfied with something not happening may take a violent turn.

Right from around the corner! I don't understand, and maybe there is nothing to understand here.

Se ne e' andato Stefano Benni, il mio scrittore preferito, ho letto e riletto all'infinito Bar Sport, ogni volta vedendoci dentro qualcuno che conosco. Buon Viaggio e goditi una luisona paradisiaca. www.corriere.it/cultura/25_s...

My favorite tv series ever, each and one of them. I watched the original with my mum in Italy, she loved sci-fi and then that was the beginning.

59 years ago today, Star Trek first aired in the US. A five-year mission that became six decades of imagination, inspiration, and community. From Kirk to Burnham, DS9 to Lower Decks, every era has added something unique. What was the first Trek you watched—and which one made you fall in love?

Today, the Israeli supreme court ordered the prison service to stop the starvation of Palestinian prisoners. Two out of three judges ruled that there's evidence that the food provided is inadequate. The third judge - who didn't see a problem - is the British-Israeli West Bank settler David Mintz.

The new episode of Jerusalem Unplugged with Micaela Sahhar is now out! shows.acast.com/687ff289498a...

September is crucial. In preparation of Israel's occupation of Gaza City, hundreds of thousands are told to flee. Israel is escalating its domicide of entire areas. All Israeli security chiefs oppose the occupation plan. It can be stopped. External pressure can work. This genocide can be stopped.

Glad to announce the Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast is now out with a new episode Please share!!! shows.acast.com/687ff289498a...

Insane!

Steal the radio? Like in the 90s?

Da tempo in Italia esiste una rete di associazioni, partiti locali e canali Telegram - formata da leghisti, ex militanti CasaPound, gruppi no-vax e indipendentisti triestini - che diffonde propaganda filorussa, anche in spregio ai divieti dell'Unione Europea. Ne ho parlato su @valigiablu.it 👇

I just finished listening to the episodes of the shows.acast.com/limericks-li... by @limerickslife.com I only lived and worked in Limerick for a few years but I have always been fascinated by the rich and diverse history of the city and its people. It's really a great podcast!
