I started this project when finding sources meant visiting libraries and buying books in London. Life had its say along the way, and still, it's finally a book! cambridge.org/core/books/rev…

As Massie's spectacle concerning the tragic USS Liberty trends today, and as Owens' Moscow trip renews attention to foreign influence networks, it's worth looking at the program of Iran's 2018 IRGC-linked New Horizon Conference in Mashhad attended by Aleksandr Dugin.
On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.

Have a look at other themes from the conference like the promotion of a Christian-Muslim alliance and the "Role of the Zionism Lobby in Islamophobia." Sound familiar? en-humanities.tau.ac.il/iran…

This is rich. Finkelstein used to participate in the diplomacy initiatives designed to engender the far-right's shift. Wrote about it here: The Offline Origins of Iranian 'Slopaganda': What a 2018 EU Ethics Filing Teaches About Multipolar Narratives en-humanities.tau.ac.il/iran…

We are shaken to the core by the horrifying findings confirming the cruel and brutal murder of Ariel and Kfir Bibas—just innocent infants—at the hands of Hamas. This barbaric act is yet another undeniable testament to the unfathomable brutality of those who continue to hold our loved ones captive. The very same hands that slaughtered Ariel and Kfir are the ones keeping our fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters in unimaginable conditions. The Bibas family, and all of us standing with them, have one message: *Remember Ariel and Kfir. Let their memory be a call to action. The fight to bring every hostage home must not stop for a moment.* This is a moment of moral clarity. The world must stand united in demanding their immediate return—before it is too late. #BringThemHomeNow #UntilTheLastHostage

"Prisoners." Just unreal.
In a truly vile display, Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya, in his video announcing the Bibas family’s bodies will be released tomorrow, referred to them as “prisoners.”

בושה וחרפה
תקראו כדי להבין לאן הגענו: היום פשטו שוטרים על שתי החנויות של Educational Bookshop במזרח ירושלים, החרימו ספרים ועצרו את הבעלים (צו החיפוש ניתן ע"י השופטת חוי טוקר). אחיו של אחד הבעלים מספר: "הם עברו עם גוגל טרנסלייט על הספרים וכל מה שלא מצא חן בעינהם הם לקחו. הם אפילו נתקלו>>

@ICRC needs to renew the demand for access to the remaining hostages.
The shock extends far beyond, Israel, in people who have an any conscience left Absolutely wretched and deeply anguishing to witness

Some of the leading thinkers and advocates of the multipolar order don't even bother hiding it. He'll bag an interview with Tucker Carlson soon enough.
