CDR. David Levy BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,204, June 27, 2023 “… in response to a question about the deadly Djerba synagogue attack, Saied replied that Palestinians “are killed every day” and “no one talks about it.” Tunisia, like its sister Maghreb states, Egypt and Morocco, is a moderate North African Sunni Muslim […]
Rachel Gilmore Global News, June 13, 2022 “People live in Djerba, there are Jews here, and they go out into the souk with the kippa on their heads. It doesn’t bother anyone. There are no comments.

Foreign Affairs, June 24, 2023 “… look at his pithy and pointed vocabulary, his cadences, his ability to assume the role of tough guy, heart-on-the-sleeve Russian patriot, the truth teller who calls out the opportunists, the morons, and the thieves Putin has appointed.” Stephen Kotkin is a preeminent historian of Russia and the author […]
Jim Geraghty National Review, June 28, 2023 “Brutal Maniac, Working with Other Brutal Maniac, Fails to Depose Chief Brutal Maniac.” An Unprepared Putin Many aspects of this weekend’s short-lived coup attempt in Russia remain mysterious, but the Wall Street Journal’s Bojan Pancevski, the paper’s Germany correspondent, sheds a little light on what Yevgeny Prigozhin wanted to […]
