In the final installment of his seminal Jewish Pride trilogy, Ben M. Freeman takes listeners on a powerful journey through 3,000 years of Jewish history.

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.

Lo Stato di Israele venne formato nel 1948, dando luogo alla Nakba o «catastrofe»: la rimozione della nazione palestinese, causa di fratture che continuano a sfociare in forme tragiche e violente anche oggi. Negli anni che sono seguiti, mentre il muro di Berlino crollava e il Sudafrica aboliva l'apartheid, il governo israeliano ha rifiutato ogni opportunità di riconciliazione con la Palestina.

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.

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.

Written while the organization he directs, Forensic Architecture, works to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel, in Ungrounding Eyal Weizman explores the larger geographical and historical context, from the displacement of the Nakba in 1948 to the present day. In unflinching and forensic detail, Ungrounding shows how architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized.

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.

With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and an exile's passion (he is Palestinian by birth), Edward W. Said traces the fatal collision between two peoples in the Middle East and its repercussions in the lives of both the occupier and the occupied--as well as in the conscience of the West.

In September 2022, twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Jina Amini is killed by Iran’s morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely. Outrage triggers nationwide protests. Women rip off their headscarves, setting them afire. Others cut their hair in open defiance. Key industries are brought to a standstill, and once-revered banners of the country’s Supreme Leader are incinerated. It’s the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic of Iran in its forty-six-year history—not coming from a foreign adversary but from their own freedom-seeking women.

This audiobook goes beyond the well-trodden tales of grand pyramids and Cleopatra's drama, digging deep into the secrets buried beneath centuries of sand and silence.

Few countries have had as vexed a political history as Syria. Syria's subsequent history has been a series of attempts to make sense of its borders, including a failed attempt in the late 1950s to unite with Egypt and several humiliations at the hands of Israel's armed forces. It has been a satellite of France, an ally of the USSR, and, most recently, torn apart by a civil war that has now been in turn subverted by the rise of the Islamic State, an entity that refuses to acknowledge any of Syria's existing borders.

Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia and the remote interior of China. From the Arab caliphate to the Mongol empire, from West Africa to the Philippines, Islam was a world-shaping force. In Worlds of Islam, historian James McDougall charts the epic global story of Islam's origins and transformations, as Muslims adapted to their changing times from late antiquity to the digital age, constantly remaking their own worlds as the wider world around them changed.

Le dichiarazioni pubbliche del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Giorgia Meloni sulla prematurità del riconoscimento dello Stato Palestinese sono un clamoroso autogol politico, storico, culturale e diplomatico.

Modern Syria has seen violence, repression, and autocracy, suffering through tragedy after tragedy over the past century. Yet the history of Syria is not just a tale of dictators and generals. From the 1800s to the 2020s, the Syrian people have engaged in a passionate struggle for justice, equality, and a better future. Whether fighting for national independence from French colonial rule, battling local landowning elites to share of the country’s wealth, or rising up against the Assad regime, the Syrian people have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity.

In their new book, “Because It’s Just And Right: The Untold Back-Story of the US Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem", Leonard Grunstein and Farley Weiss share the riveting political drama of how the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was first promulgated by Senator Jon Kyl, negotiated and then passed, on a bipartisan basis, by an overwhelming majority of Congress.

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?
