Series: Zionist Terror Attacks in 1937 – A Newspaper History
1937 was a jittery year in Palestinian history. The Arab Revolt was gaining traction.

Western Media Silence on War Rape: Ukraine vs Gaza?
Two major conflict zones, both involving a state that the Western world vehemently dislikes, all four sides accused (mind this important term) of rapes, but only two are blamed (Palestine & Russia) and two are absolved (Israel & Ukraine).

Travel: Peshawar (Oct ’23), Former Stronghold of Taliban
Travel Advisory: Frequent terror attacks. Do not go West of Jamrud. Bearded gunmen, AK47s, and blue burqa-wearing women in a dusty, mountaineous backdrop. Add in a bunch of old Toyotas too. That is the ‘image’ of how people around the world see Peshawar, from the old days of Soviet occupation in Afghanistan to Taliban against…
Drawing Parallels: Israel-Gaza Conflict & British-India Imperialism
In the aftermath of Israel’s attack on Western aid workers (for the World Central Kitchen), former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, called the growing calls for the UK to curb arms supply to Israel ‘shameful‘. England would stand proudly with the ‘only’ democracy in the Middle East. In 2023, the Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant,…
