The failure of the League of Nations is one of the most significant geopolitical collapses of the 20th century. Established after World War I to prevent another global conflict, it ultimately proved powerless against the rise of aggressive militarism in the 1930s.

The war in Gaza has produced terrible suffering. Many thousands of civilians have been killed, families have been displaced, neighbourhoods have been destroyed, and ordinary life has become almost impossible. None of this should be minimised. But neither should it be assumed that every exceptionally destructive war is therefore a genocide. Words matter, especially words […]

I always find Sam Harris’s writings absorbing, but in today’s piece he’s really hit his stride, telling us why, despite his own criticisms of Israel, he won’t debate those people—he calls them “scholars, grifters, and moral lunatics”—who demonize Israel as not only morally worse than its enemies, but the worst country in the world. In…

If you’re getting weary of the endless but necessary attacks on Nicholas Kristof for his misleading and almost antisemitic column about Israel’s “policy” of sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners, Roy K. Altman has written in the Free Press the definitive critique of Kristof’s column—that is, until investigations by Israel reveal more information. Wikipedia identifies Altman as…

Tony Blair writes: The suffering of Gaza, the death and destruction, is undeniable. You can make a legitimate criticism of Israel’s tactics in the conduct of the war. Many Jews around the world make exactly those critiques. But you cannot engage in such criticism legitimately if you do not also condemn the terrorism of October…

On April 15, 1945, British forces, including units of the British Second Army and the 11th Armoured Division, entered Bergen-Belsen and liberated the remaining prisoners.
