The War in Gaza and the Emerging Rift in American Jewish Life Original
A conversation on whether liberalism and Zionism can continue to coexist for American Jews. In this interview with the Times Opinion editor Max Strasser, the journalist Peter Beinart explores what he calls the twin pillars of American Jewish life: Zionism and liberalism. Beinart argues that the two are fundamentally in conflict with each other, a longstanding tension that has become even more fraught since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and Israel retaliated in Gaza.

Opinion | The Bloody Echoes of Babyn Yar
This article also appears in the Opinion Today newsletter. You can sign up here to receive it in your inbox each weekday morning. When Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, there was an eerie familiarity to the images: tanks rolling down snowy Eastern European roads, families of refugees packed into trains seeking safety, aerial bombardment of a European capital. It all reminded me too clearly of World War II.

10 Traditions You Never Thought Needed Protecting
Are brie and baguettes a vital part of world heritage? Yesterday, the United Nations’ cultural organization (UNESCO) added the French gastronomic experience to the world’s list of intangible cultural treasures. Here are 10 of the more bizarre entries on the list. FRANCK FIFE/AFP/Getty Images THE KIRKPINAR OIL WRESTLING FESTIVAL Country: Turkey Huh?

Caroline Eden: Under the Black Sea
The world’s oldest known intact shipwreck has been found resting on its side at the bottom of the Black Sea by an international team of maritime archaeologists. The 23-metre Greek ship, which sank 2400 years ago, is one of dozens of wrecks found by the group over the past three years. Below 200 metres, the Black Sea’s oxygen-free water chemistry supports no life and prevents organic decay.
Yiannis Baboulias: When the Fire Comes
« Previous | Home | Next » When the Fire Comes Tags: climate change | fires | greece Wildfires break out every summer across Greece. The mountains surrounding Athens have burned on more than one occasion this year. It was just columns of smoke in the distance. It wasn’t news, until it was. When I woke up on Tuesday morning there were 50 dead. Then 60. It would be 74 by the end of the day. Now it’s closer to 80 and likely to go higher. Greece doesn’t have a land registry.
Paul Taylor: Jeremy Hunt plays the numbers
Jeremy Hunt announced last Wednesday that as many as 270 women may have died because an error in a computer algorithm prevented 450,000 women being invited for routine breast cancer screening appointments. Stories about IT glitches will be increasingly common as artificial intelligence enables more and more healthcare to be automated.
Ian Patel: Enoch Powell’s Altered World
‘I was born a Tory,’ Enoch Powell said in a speech towards the end of his life, defining ‘Tory’ as ‘a person who regards authority as immanent in institutions’. During the Second World War, Powell spent two years in the Middle East and North Africa Commands, stationed in Cairo as secretary to the Joint Intelligence Committee. Unsatisfied, he wrote to his parents of his ‘determination to go East’.

The Girl Who Wasn’t There
On Tuesday 19 September, the 32nd anniversary of the magnitude 8 earthquake that levelled large parts of Mexico City in 1985, an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 hit the city and neighbouring states. In 1985 the epicentre was off the Pacific coast, and the death toll reached at least 10,000. When that one set our house rocking back and forth at 7.17 a.m., my wife Betty and I were about to send our daughters to school. They boarded the bus and we turned on the television.
Did We Take Trump Too Seriously?
But we need to take him seriously — especially his administration and supporters. He wouldn’t be president today if he hadn’t tapped into a powerful politics, what I called the “politics of civilization.” In fact, he is dangerous precisely because he makes it hard to take his politics seriously. He inspires a Pavlovian ridicule. But that reflex to ridicule is allowing some people to avoid trying to understand his policies and to avoid developing a real critique of them.
Rachel Malik: Nothing But Feeling
There was a moment in her interview with Emily Maitlis on Newsnight on Friday when Theresa May mentioned a woman who had escaped the Grenfell Tower fire in just a T-shirt and knickers. The woman stays with you. Very briefly, something broke through the repetitions and evasions of the official discourse being deployed by the government, Kensington and Chelsea council, and ‘interested’ corporate parties who insist that regulations were complied with and profess to welcome any investigation.
Destination Brexit
Since she unexpectedly started up and began to move on her election campaign, Theresa May has looked a lot like a driverless car – one of those vehicles built by Apple or Google that is supposed to be able to drive itself to its destination autonomously, using the vast computing power and clever sensors provided by its powerful designers to trundle safely from the car park to the shops and back without any intervention from a human at the wheel.
Uri Avnery: Israel’s Impending Civil War
Something happens to retired chiefs of the Israeli internal Security Service, Shin Bet. Once they leave their jobs, they become spokesmen for peace. How come? Shin Bet agents are the only members of the establishment who come into real, direct, daily contact with Palestinians. They interrogate Palestinian suspects, torture them, try to turn them into informers. They collect information, penetrate the most remote parts of Palestinian society.
In Višegrad " LRB blog
In The Bridge on the Drina (1945), which tells Bosnia’s history through 500 years of anecdotes centered on an Ottoman bridge in the town of Višegrad (Basil Davidson called the novel ‘Bosnia’s Waverley’), Ivo Andrić wrote of the persecution of ethnic Serbs by Austrio-Hungarian authorities and their Muslim backers after Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914: Saturday, 11 July was the 20th anniversary of the start of the slaughter of 8000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica,...
John Lanchester: Episode Nine: Polar Bears
At an earlier stage of this general election, I thought about proposing one of those drinking games in which people have a shot or swig every time a Conservative on the campaign trail used the word ‘plan’. I’m glad I didn’t go ahead with that. Anyone who’d taken up the suggestion would now be in a clinic. It was already bad, but the Tory manifesto takes it to another level entirely. Guess how many times the word ‘plan’ occurs’. For purposes of reference, the Labour manifesto uses it 27 times.
Non-Linear War " LRB blog
Vladislav Surkov is back. Back inside the ever-shrinking sanctum around Putin; on the elite list of Russian officials hit with visa bans and asset freezes in the west. The enemies who were so recently converging around Surkov, threatening charges of corruption and much more, have fallen silent. On 12 March, Surkov published a new short story, in Russky Pioneer (under his pseudonym Natan Dubovitsky). ‘Without Sky’ is set in the future, after the ‘fifth world war’.
Sisi and the Strong Man
January 28, 2014, 11:55 PM As I walked down Talaat Harb St., a main drag off Cairo’s Tahrir Square, a group of men and women stood on a balcony above a giant banner of former President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s face, flashing victory signs at the people on the street below. As they waved flags and cheered, a set of aged speakers blared a nationalist song from the 1960s. The headquarters of Egypt’s Nasserist Party was bursting with jubilation.
Among the Arms Dealers
Currently on display at London’s Excel Conference and Exhibition Centre are more ways to kill people than you can imagine: tactical sniper rifles from the United Arab Emirates’ Tawazun Advanced Defense Systems, medium-calibre mortars from India’s Ordnance Factories Board, optical sights for grenade launchers from Bulgaria’s Opticoelectron Group. And there’s the less lethal, too, like the CS gas made by NonLethal Technologies of Pennsylvania.
The Egyptian Opposition's Deal with the Devil
Falafel shops in Cairo bore pictures of President Mohamed Morsi with a large red X drawn across his face. New Mercedes and beat-up 1970s Ladas drove across the city’s packed streets with red signs in their windows calling on Egyptians to “Go down to the street on June 30!” In metro stations and on street corners, anti-Morsi activists gathered signatures for the Tamarod or “Rebel” campaign, which claimed to collect 22 million signatures calling for Morsi’s resignation.
Oblivion By Design: Drones and Social Media
The United States has been engaged in a constant war for the past ten years with no sign of slowing down. The drone war is not exactly a secret, but it’s not a hot topic in the national conversation, either. The drone program is rarely mentioned by politicians and while some journalists in the mainstream media have done impressive work documenting and exposing the drone war, the day-to-day of targeted assassinations rarely makes the front page or the evening news.
Can USAID Be a Force for Good In Egypt?

Once More to Tahrir
July 8, 2011, 9:50 PM CAIRO — Under a baking hot Egyptian afternoon sun, old women in full face veils mingle with teenage boys in designer jeans. Coptic Christians stand next to conservative Muslims, chanting together that they want freedom. Factory workers from the Nile Delta sit in tents, reading pamphlets passed out by web-savvy activists. The whole country is watching.
