Oh Jerusalem: An Iranian perspective

Stop Trivialising the Use of ‘Genocide’
Harry LaForme challenges the trivialization of the word ‘genocide’. “Is it simply a case of wilful ignorance that prompts the use of such phrases, or is it that genocide has simply become the descriptive word defining any war?

Indigenous Zionism at Concordia University
Some time ago, scholars gathered in Montreal, Canada, to discuss “Jewish conceptions of indigeneity in Zionist thought”—that is, Zionist indigeneity and its Jewish roots (rather than the fabricated indigeneity of supposed “non-Jewish Israelis” or various “Canaanites”).
