Absolutely, I was asked by an Italian outlet to talk about it given the resonance in Venice, and I said the same thing, this is for Israelis, who ironically will not be able to watch it unless abroad. It's by Israelis for Israelis, we can watch it, but many things won't resonate unless part of that.

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. …

Perfec timing as I am building the new syllabus for my class on conspiracy theories for the winter.

Sounds like when I teach 'global history of conspiracy theories'. To say that there may be aliens out there is one thing, to say that the government (whichever) keeps secrets on aliens and that there may have been contacts, is obviously something else.

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.

Ho da poco scoperto il podcast in Italiano Complotti di @blicero.bsky.social pubblicato da @internazionale.it Ottimo lavoro, la prossima volta che insegnero' il mio corso Global History of Conspiracy Theory lo aggiungero' alla (listening) list, tanto oramai le traduzioni si fanno senza problemi.

Pardon the intrusion of a historian of Jerusalem: the British Consulate in Sheick Jarrah has a distinct status (also a few other European consulates) and operates independently from the Israeli govt (it goes back to the Ottoman and Mandatory times) they don't really have the authority to close it

I think the Irish in general have been on the 'naughty' list for quite some time (I guess happily so)

There is one guy in Italy that has contacted every single (Italian) scholar working on this (in Italy and abroad). While his theories are what they are, given the current status of reality, at times I think someone should consider his ideas.

Dr Roberto Mazza @robbyref.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I agree. We had a similar case in Italy years ago, the mother was convicted but many people were not happy.

It was indeed funny and deep at the same time: love the sense of humor with the fingers.

same....but for Bologna, and it was not a good beginning

Nothing, it buys time for Netanyahu to act in the West Bank for pure electoral purposes.

She even wrote a book 'City on a Hilltop: American Jews and the Israeli Settler Movement', just in case you're interested (can't guarantee your satisfaction though ;-)

#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.

We are historians, we are cynical and unfortuntately far too many times we are right.

In my view, those natural podcasts, recorded after an emotional event, are just the best!

I am still angry at the fact that VAR didn't call the ref after the ARG 2nd goal as they did with the Egyptian one. I honestly believe it was a foul on both counts, but in the 2nd ARG goal, the consequence would have been not just disallowing but a penalty for Egypt. That is what was taken away.

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

He did a good job up to a point when I was surprised (I'm a ref, I know games can change quickly but the important thing is to be consistent and here the officiating team failed)

The #worldcup of goalkeepers, catenaccio (Italian style defense) and some great surprises.
