Dans cette perspective, il convient d’analyser les leçons historiques susceptibles d’éclairer le présent.

Le Professeur Gabriel Martinez-Gros, agrégé d’histoire et spécialiste du monde arabe médiéval, explore la pensée d’Ibn Khaldûn et son influence persistante sur le champ historiographique contemporain.

When the state of Israel was formed in 1948, it precipitated the Nakba or 'disaster': the displacement of the Palestine nation, creating fracture-lines which continue to erupt in violent and tragic ways today. In the years that followed, while the Berlin Wall crumbled and South Africa abolished apartheid, the Israeli government rejected every opportunity for reconciliation with Palestine. But Raja Shehadeh, human rights lawyer and Palestine's greatest living writer, suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot work together as partners on the road to peace, not genocide.

Attilâ, Peyami Safa'nın yegâne tarihî romanıdır. Peyami Safa bu romanıyla, Attilâ gibi büyük bir Türk cihangirinin devrine ve kişiliğine ilk defa bir Türk gözüyle bakmış, Batı dünyasının “geçtiği yerde ot bitmez” diye karaladığı bir devlet adamı ve kumandanını Türk gözüyle tasvir etmiştir. Peyami Safa, Attilâ'yı yazarken yabancı kaynaklardan ve özellikle Bizans tarihçilerinin verdiği bilgilerden oldukça istifade etmiştir. Çelik iradeli, demir disiplinli bu Türk hakanının yalnızca bir devlet adamı ve kumandan olarak değil, şahsî ilişkilerde yumuşak huylu.

I list some of the sins we are practicing today and the Bible's condemnation of those sins.

In 1798, an initial review of France’s naval forces had led Napoleon to conclude his navy could not hope to outfight the power of the Royal Navy, which had been the dominant naval power for centuries, so he was forced to look elsewhere. After months of planning, Napoleon crafted a scheme to attack and conquer Egypt, denying the British easy access to their colonies in India, with the ultimate goal of linking up with the Sultan Tipoo in India itself and defeating the British in the field there. Napoleon sailed with Admiral Brueys and 30,000 troops that June, heading for Egypt.

David Ben-Gurion cast a great shadow during his lifetime, and his legacy continues to be sharply debated to this day.
