“You can’t bomb a country into democracy,” says Zack Polanski. The very same words I used myself on BBC’s The Politics Show during the Iraq war. I think we are correct.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.

Muito obrigada, Cassandra! Esse livro dele é realmente muito bonito. Eu gostaria muito que mais textos de Appelfeld fossem traduzidos para o nosso idioma.

Appelfeld’s work speaks powerfully to our time and deserves to be more widely known. He is a writer of the highest caliber, for whom nothing that is human remains foreign.

PM if you’d like to read an English translation of my column.

🇬🇧 Appelfeld writes about the vulnerability of children in contexts war, he addresses the adaptation of refugees to life in a new country and he describes the experience of individuals belonging to diasporic populations who, victims of persecution, will never be able to return to their roots.

A obra de Appelfeld dialoga intensamente com o nosso tempo e mereceria ser mais amplamente divulgada no Brasil. Trata-se de um escritor de primeira grandeza, para quem nada do que é humano permanece estranho.

🇧🇷 Appelfeld escreve sobre a vulnerabilidade das crianças em contextos de guerra, aborda a difícil adaptação dos refugiados à vida em um novo país; e descreve a experiência de indivíduos pertencentes a populações diaspóricas que, vítimas de perseguição, jamais poderão retornar às suas raízes.

Hoje, na @folha.com, escrevo sobre a atualidade da obra de Aharon Appelfeld. Confiram! www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/juli...

The greatest punishment I can imagine is to build a special jail and lock the members of the Trump regime there so they have to spend the next ten years together in each other’s bilious company.

There are some elements that make them similar, but there are also many details that set them apart. Shouldn’t we be paying closer attention to these differences if we want to reverse the situation?

Anyone who believes they can understand what happened on the basis of one or two Holocaust testimonies has no real grasp of the sheer scale of the barbarity. I’m halfway through the first volume of Hilberg’s study, and the details of how the Nazi bureaucratic machinery functioned are terrifying.

Israeli friends, how is Aharon Appelfeld’s work regarded these days? Do people in Israel still read him? Did they ever read him much? Which contemporary Israeli writers has he influenced?

Só barbaridade. :(

Caramba, tá complicado assim? Por aqui eu consigo acessar direitinho. Qualquer coisa, se vc quiser, mando o texto pelo WhatsApp.

Mercantilism is back. This is not the time to embrace neutrality. Yes, I'm looking at you, Ireland.

Two great books by Aharon Appelfeld.
