An intelligent analysis of what's been going on with Iran - including the puzzling minority of Iranians who appear to support Israel. (Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is not a friend! Evidence being Zionism and genocide, hello.)
The US, UK, and Germany have deliberately destroyed the single vehicle that averts war globally, open and protected diplomatic channels, by NOT condemning the Israeli strike of the Iranian embassy in #syria
That is a green light to any parties exercising the same war crime as being OK, unless they want to go on record for double standards.
Which reminds me with Chinese diplomats being executed in #Yugoslavia by NATO forces.
Any of the Palestinian memoirs/biographies are great in so many ways. You can come in with little idea of the Middle East and get a human story as well as where that falls in the history/context of something people call complicated, but isn't.
