Mediapart revealed that Jordan Bardella, the leader of the main far right party in France, once complained that "all banks are controlled by Jews" Shockingly, the party founded by an antisemite is currently being led by an antisemite. www.mediapart.fr/journal/poli...

« Les banques sont toutes détenues par des juifs » : Jordan Bardella face à ses écrits antisémites

« Mediapart » a mis la main sur des échanges de l’actuel président du RN, au début de sa carrière politique. On y découvre l’antisémitisme obsessionnel de celui qui rêve de devenir premier ministre. …

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

#worldcup26 I watched 100/104 games, I enjoyed the enlarged format more than I expected. #fifa is alwasy fifa, it will be hard to get rid of some behaviours, yet football won and so the best team is bringing the cup back home. See you in MOR, POR and SPA in 4 years and hopefully Italy will be there.

maybe the ball was touched, maybe not. As a ref, I would have just allowed the goal, given there was no clear picture, and let #croatia and #portugal play the extra times and let the players decide the game. I've been in similar situations, hate them.

Dr Roberto Mazza @robbyref.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Likely the most emotional game (not counting those of Italy) I have ever watched in my life, and I watch a lot of football! Not sure VAR got it right, but still a great game and chapueax to #modric #worldcup #portugal #croatia

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...

What if the Ottomans Survived?

Recent scholarship shows the promise—and limits—of a historical path not taken.
