جایگاه انسان در دنیای حیوانات - مارک تواین۱

 در ماه اوت سال ۱۵۷۲، در پاریس و برخی‌ دیگر از شهرهای فرانسه۲، مواردی مشابه واقعه‌ای که در اینجا می‌آید رخ داد. این واقعه یک جنگ بین مسیحی‌ علیه مسیحی‌ بود. به این صورت که مسیحیانی که به آنها کاتولیک رومی می‌گفتند، مسیحیان دیگری را که پروتستان لقب داشتند غافلگیر کردند و هزاران زن و مرد و کودک را کشتند. این روز خاطره‌انگیز، روز سنت بارتلومی نام گرفت. در روم، پاپ و کلیسا با شنیدن این خبر بسیار خوشحال شدند و خداوند را شکر گفتند.ا

In August, 1572, similar things were occurring in Paris and elsewhere in France(2). In this case it was Christian against Christian. The Roman Catholics, by previous concert, sprang a surprise upon the unprepared and unsuspecting Protestants, and butchered them by thousands -- both sexes and all ages. This was the memorable St. Bartholomew's Day. At Rome the Pope and the Church gave public thanks to God when the happy news came.

War on Gaza Crystalizes Israel’s Image

Russia in Global Affairs ) – Modern Israel attracts much attention from analysts and the public but our ability to understand it is hindered by ideology, prejudice, and myth. Many tread carefully when discussing Israel lest they be accused of antisemitism. In an earlier article, I explained what distinguishes anti-Zionism from antisemitism. However, the fundamental difficulty lies in the habitual association of the state in Western Asia with the Jews.

In this hallucinatory election year, how weird can things get? Weird. Among the lunatic slings and arrows being tossed at Dems in hopes something sticks: The claim Walz is a serial-lying, horse-semen-drinking Great Replacement zealot, Harris is a child-trafficking, sexually-servicing trans man named Kamal Aroush, and it'll all be okay if you buy fabric-bedecked trading cards from a grifting crackpot who wants to start a "Space National Guard." At this point sure, why not.
