In the famous
lines of Tacitus, Roman historian, “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under
false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it
peace.”

Propelled Grenade (RPG) at the site of the previous evening's Israeli
airstrike that targeted shipments of weapons that belonged to Syrian
government forces in Qamishli, in mainly Kurdish northeastern Syria, on
December 10, 2024. The UN special envoy for Syria called on Israel on
December 10 to halt its military movements and bombardments in Syria,
after a war monitor reported 300 air strikes since the fall of president
Bashar al-Assad. (Photo by DELIL SOULEIMAN/ (Photo by Delil Souleiman / AFP via Getty Images)
