Similarly, in Berlin, you wouldn't believe which political party is being discussed as "antisemitic" in all media. Hint: it's neither the one whose leader employed someone whose apartment was full of Nazi memorabilia nor the one whose general secretary once raved about judeobolshevism.

The reason Israel blew up the 900 year old Beaufort Castle in Lebanon is (1) they have to fake their nationalist archaeological ancestry and can't bear any other regional history; (2) they were ignominiously defeated at Beaufort by PLO in their 1980s invasion of Lebanon & want to erase the memory.

What is interesting about this image published in Bloomberg's newsletter today is the density of ships at anchor near Sohar (Oman) vs Fujairah (UAE). Usually, Fujairah has a lot more ships waiting near it than Sohar does, but Oman's relative safety obviously is also affecting its trade profile.

Mary Turfah may be the best essayist writing in English right now. Like everything else she writes, her words are lacerating, lucid, bitter and immensely insightful. thebaffler.com/latest/warri...
A person who acts in violation of their moral world has the good fortune of keeping that world intact; it remains a place they return to. For many Israelis, Gaza breached the border. Psychic threats are no match for the world’s most moral army; through yoga, therapy, surfing, self-affirmation (saying “we’re the most moral army” over and over), the threat can be eliminated, and the integrity of the self reconstituted. It starts by acknowledging the breach. Delicately, without losing sight of one’s why, oneself, one’s people: You feel like a bad person because you’re actually a good person who did bad things and the fact that you feel bad about it is an indication of your goodness. Doing the bad things actually helps you realize you’re a good person. The people you killed? They started you along your healing journey.

This is a lacerating criticism of Bifo Berardi's atrocious Gaza book (deservedly so) and ends with such a beautiful tribute to Palestinians: defector.com/franco-berar...
At the same time that I was reading Thinking Gaza, Omar Hamad and Ibrahim Massri—two Palestinian writers in Gaza—managed, amidst the greatest physical and moral ruin, to finish building a library from the rubble of Gaza City. These young men in Gaza—in whose behavior Berardi sees “no ethics”—could humble the world with their humanity if only the world would look.
