Held by believers to contain the site where Abraham offered up Isaac, the place of the crucifixion of Christ and the rock from which the prophet Muhammed ascended to heaven, Jerusalem has been celebrated and revered for centuries by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Such is the symbolic power of this ancient city that its future status poses a major obstacle to a comprehensive regional peace in the Middle East.

A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history - the Arab Revolt and the secret “great game” to control the Middle East. Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.

In 1887, an Egyptian woman made an astonishing discovery among the ruins of the heretic king Akhenaten's capital city, a site now known as Amarna. She found a cache of cuneiform tablets, nearly four hundred in all, that included correspondence between the pharaohs and the mightiest powers of the day, such as the Hittites, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Love, War, and Diplomacy tells the story of the Amarna Letters and the dramatic world of the Bronze Age they revealed.

Полная тайн и противоречий, Османская империя простерлась на десятки тысяч километров вдоль границы Востока и Запада. Она оказала колоссальное влияние на историю Европы, будучи совсем на нее не похожа. Сравнимая по масштабу с Римской империей, к концу XVI века она занимала три континента и объединила под своей властью множество языков и народов: ее подданными были албанцы, армяне, греки и многие другие.

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.

In diesem Buch wird ausgepackt. Es gibt inzwischen untrügliche Indizien, die auf extraterrestrische Besucher im alten Ägypten hinweisen. Die „Götter“ der Ägypter waren Außerirdische, die eine Höherentwicklung des Menschengeschlechts in die Wege leiteten, aber auch die Zivilisation am Nil für ihre eigenen Zwecke ausbeuteten und Land und Bewohner kontrollierten.

Today, it is known by many names, like the First Iraq War, Kuwait War, and, most commonly, the Gulf War or the First Gulf War. It was a rather short conflict, lasting just shy of seven months between late 1990 and early 1991. Yet, it was still rather impactful because it showcased several essential innovations and changes in political and technological aspects of warfare, some of which are still part of modern conflicts.

At the conclusion of World War I, a once promised unified Arab state, which was to include the modern Hejaz, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine/Israel, Jordan and Iraq, did not materialize.

In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad - the Israeli secret service.

What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews....

In this rich, fascinating history, John Ghazvinian traces the complex story of the relations between these two nations back to the Persian Empire of the 18th century - the subject of great admiration by Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams - and an America seen by Iranians as an ideal to emulate for their own government.

Med general Hafez al-Assads militærkup i 1970 blev den syriske civilbefolkning udsat for markant undertrykkelse. Overvågning, ensretning og tortur. Regimets fængsler var fyldt til randen af politiske fanger, som blev udsat for en gruopvækkende behandling. Hensigten var at nedbryde al modstand og samtidig sende et klart signal til den øvrige befolkning: én forkert tanke, ét forkert ord kan medføre indespærring i årevis og pinefulde afhøringer med sømbeslåede stokke, elektriske kabler, barberblade, knibtænger og rødglødende metal.

Listen to commentators and a pattern quickly emerges: the more liberal the speaker, the more likely they are to attack Israel. Worse, many liberals say things about Israel that are patently false. After the October 7 Hamas attack, Barack Obama said that Israel had “unclean hands” because of the “unbearable occupation”. The trouble was, there was no occupation. Israel had withdrawn from Gaza almost twenty years before.

Die Kreuzfahrer, die zurück in ihre Heimatdörfer humpelten und vertrocknete Palmblätter aus dem Heiligen Land auf die Altäre der Kirchen legten, hatten 1099 gesiegt: Jerusalem war in christlicher Hand. Was zählte der gemeinsame Glaube, wenn es um Gold und Macht ging?

Aber auch in Deutschland: Plötzlich werden Dinge ausgesprochen, die lange ein Tabu waren, plötzlich radikalisieren sich auch hier die Haltungen. Selbst unter Freunden: Hamed Abdel Samad und Philipp Peyman Engel schreiben sich Briefe zur Lage im Nahen Osten und tauschen sich direkt und kontrovers zur Lage im Nahen Osten: Betreibt Israel in Gaza einen Genozid?
