On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took the entire diplomatic staff hostage. While President Jimmy Carter initially pursued a diplomatic solution to the crisis, he authorized the military to begin planning a rescue mission.

Quando si parla di storia, il primo pensiero va quasi sempre ai grandi eventi, agli imperi, alle guerre, ai potenti che dominano i manuali scolastici e le fonti storiografiche. Ma, guardando oltre la superficie, tra le pieghe del tempo compaiono anche le persone comuni che spesso sono state protagoniste di avventure ed emozioni degne di essere scoperte e raccontate. Proprio per questo Costantino Andrea De Luca - giovane storico e divulgatore - riporta alla luce quelle "vite senza nome" che hanno attraversato i secoli e che presentano incredibili somiglianze con la contemporaneità.

As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the United States media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick "war on terror" framework.

Come recita un antico detto spagnolo, quando si verifica un'inondazione - di informazioni, nel nostro caso - la prima cosa che manca è l'acqua potabile. Per farsi un'idea sulle grandi questioni del nostro tempo, molti ricorrono a Wikipedia, alla televisione o a instant book come quelli pubblicati nei mesi seguiti al 7 ottobre 2023: testi spesso scritti da giornalisti o studiosi che non conoscono le lingue locali, non hanno mai lavorato su fonti primarie del Mediterraneo orientale o vissuto nei luoghi di cui scrivono, né hanno mai neanche visitato - fosse anche per qualche ora - Gaza.

حافلة هي تلك الفترة التي حكم فيها السادات مصر وحافلة بالأحداث، حياة عائلة البنهاوي صعود وتألق، أم انكسار وانحسار ؟

This book tells how Israel was created after Jewish Zionist military attacks in 1948 drove 8,000,000 Palestinians (half of Palestine’s population) from their land. Zionists justified their actions by claiming that Jews were retaking their biblical homeland. Despite that claim, Israeli researchers have not been able to use DNA to define a Jew. British rule of Palestine preceded these atrocities. During that period, the British worked with Zionist colonists to crush Palestinian opposition to continuous Jewish immigration and the Palestinians' loss of land. Information is reported about U. S.

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege.

When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back, to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story.

What do you do when divine law and the justice demanded by your conscience clash? Muslims have wrestled with this problem since the earliest caliphates. The mazalim courts, dating back to the eighth century, were the answer: courts where any subject could appeal directly to an Islamic ruler regarding any matter of justice. Mazalim courts, which were not bound by the rulings of an established school of Islamic law, could address crises in authority and order that Sharia courts could not.

Since October 2023, Israel has carried out one of the most brutal military onslaughts in modern history on the Gaza Strip, in response to the Hamas-led attacks of October 7.
