È il maggio del 2012. Un uomo è solo in una stanza e sta scrivendo a una scrivania. Quella, però, non è una normale scrivania è un tavolo imbullonato al muro bianco. Quella stanza è la cella di una prigione. E quell'uomo non è come gli altri. Otto mesi prima ha colpito a Oslo e sull'isola di Utøya.

China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?

Reports of sexual violence in armed conflict frequently appear in political discussions and news media, presenting a stark contrast to a long history of silence and nonrecognition.

Mike Thexton was held at the front of the plane for 12 hours, waiting to be shot. When the ground power unit failed and the plane became dark, the terrorists put him back with the others, before opening fire indiscriminately.

L’attacco di Hamas del 7 ottobre 2023 e gli orrori che ne sono seguiti hanno sconvolto il mondo. Ma il conflitto israelo-palestinese non è iniziato quel giorno. E neppure nel 1967, quando Israele ha occupato la Cisgiordania, o nel 1948, quando è stato proclamato lo Stato ebraico. È iniziato nel 1882, quando i primi coloni sionisti sono arrivati in quella che era la Palestina ottomana. Il celebre storico israeliano Ilan Pappé – autore del bestseller internazionale La pulizia etnica della Palestina – ricostruisce qui la vicenda di due popoli che ora condividono una sola terra.
