Dr Roberto Mazza

apprezzo molto il modo delicato con cui si sta prendendo la scena, senza bisogno di clamori alla Renzi, o linguaggio forbito e vuoto di Schlein. La speranza di un leader vero per la sinistra resta, speriamo bene.

This week, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social about my recent book Emigrant Soldiers: Mobilising Italians Abroad in the First World War. If anyone has a commute they'd like to liven up with tales of war, take a listen! newbooksnetwork.com/emigrant-sol...

Thanks, very interesting, I will assign this to my students, interested to know what they think and see how they react to the different narratives. I still have to digest some parts, but I think it's important to keep working on this. Really appreciated

Same thought, how can someone who claims to be a man of faith can lie like this, we are all flawed, but at least don't claim perfection, it's morally repulsive, really like the pharesees

Besides, not only Trump tends to disappoint, also Netanyahu, which has more reasons to see on of these 'if' failing than anybody else.

Chelsea needs a fashion stylist, honestly both the cut and colour are terrbile

And as Italian, he should know better

Not close to MENA, but worth a try

Greenblatt: but it's no longer antisemitic to say the 'globalists' control the world.

The ADL is first in line

I was just having the same conversation, not sure whether willingly or not, but the WH just cornered Netanyahu.

Here is the latest episode of Jerusalem Unplugged with Michael Kinnamon and Philip Graubart discussing their novels and Jerusalem.

I was asking myself the same question.

The right wing (MAGA style) Salvini in Italy is suggesting to forbid the strike on Friday, but there is too much pressure on the government and it's no longer an issue right vs. left, many on the right are asking Meloni to be more active. You're right, it feels different.

Meloni is now suggesting that the flotilla may lead to the failure of the ceasefire, as if there was one in place. The reality is that she's under a lot of pressure, should something happen to the flotilla, she may have to (unwillingly) take action so much is the popular support for Gaza now.

*in the middle

So in the of the rubbles and destruction, they found documents, I mean paper and folders. If it was not in the middle of a genocide, it could be a good joke.

I'm curious to see what happen to the flotilla, here in the US there is not much talk, but in Europe is front page, and an attack by Israel could bring more pressure, including the exclusion from UEFA (soccer is not mundane and almost more important to many Israelis than Gaza.)

Maybe there's even some good in the plan, yet it doesn't take into account the larger picture of the West Bank, Palestine, the future of the people under Israeli rule, utltimately it's whitewashing Israel. I hope peace for the people of Gaza and accountability for those who bear responsability

Tony Blair reminds me of Ronald Storrs, I think he really believes he has a role to play there: perhaps reincarnation is real.

Mixed with tropes and bad history

So far Trump has regurgitated tropes, like the conflict is tousands of years old, that Israel left Gaza to Hamas peacefully etc etc..he essentially stated no state for the Palestinians, and then, what is the plan?

It's defenitely more for search and rescue, today Meloni repeated several times: 'what should we do, declare war to Israel?'. She's under a lot of pressure from a clear majority of Italians, and she know how to ride a wave.
