Can’t wait for this
Next month, Edinburgh University Press will publish "Christians in Middle Eastern History: Strangers No More," a collection of essays I've edited with John-Paul Ghobrial, Michael Reynolds, and Jack Tannous. This has been in the works for a long time! edinburghuniversitypress.com…

Loved reading this book by @gevemac about the history of Carthage—Punic: 𐤒𐤓𐤕𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕, Qart-ḥadašt, lit. ‘New City’.
It all started around 814 BCE, when the legendary Elissa (Dido) fled Tyre, in present-day Lebanon 🇱🇧, and landed on this corner of the Mediterranean.
Incredible what the peoples of the Levant have contributed to human history.

To believe this is about drug smuggling, you have to ignore Trump’s pardon of the former Honduran president for drug smuggling.
To believe it’s about Maduro’s democratic legitimacy, you have to believe Trump cares even slightly about democratic legitimacy.
