Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

so we set out to study the coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims by German press systematically!

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

History remembers people like Itamar as moral titans.

We Said “We Will Block Everything” and We Did: Inside Italy’s Strike for Gaza Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

All eyes on the flotilla.

New INTERACT study: German Academia after October 7

Given broad interest we gave our best to speed up the translation of our study of self-censorship and perceptions of academic freedom infringements in Germany since 7 October 2023!

An english version of our report and codebook are now available on our website: interact.fu-berlin.de/en/News/Grim...

I remember doing the Time Warp: The 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' turns 50 Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

My first exposure to Rocky Horror was a bad VHS copy that we watched at lunch in the performing arts club room in high school. I can't imagine that being allowed in most states today.

I need you to read this thread to understand why so many historians are revolted by this regime's crimes against the past
