Showing results for "With" in Middle East

This book describes the turbulent lives, loves, and perilous missions of the greatest Mossad lohamot, the female warriors of the Israeli Secret Service. The stunning feats of these strong, bold women prove that they are equal to men, and often even better. Beside the nation's enemies, they had to fight a painful solitude, an awkward attitude of their male colleagues, and often give up their dream of marriage and children. And still, they brilliantly carried out their missions.

Toen de Iraanse gijzelingscrisis in de Amerikaanse ambassade in Iran in het voorjaar van 1980 zijn zevende maand inging, bestormden zes zwaarbewapende schutters de Iraanse ambassade in Londen en verschansten zich daar met 26 gegijzelden.

De schutters waren Arabieren die hoopten Groot-Brittannië te kunnen dwingen hun kant te kiezen in hun onafhankelijkheidsstrijd tegen de hoogste Iraanse leider: ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Israel's genocide in Palestine and the complicity of powerful Western states is undermining international human rights and the UN system. The United States has imposed sanctions on lawyers, UN experts, and Palestinian officials in an attempt to bully and intimidate them into silence. One prominent example is UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who has played an important role in documenting Israel's atrocities and those who profit from its oppression of Palestinians.

The past four decades have seen a number of United States military interventions in the Middle East, but only one of them is retrospectively seen as a success: Operation Earnest Will, the escort of Kuwaiti tankers through the Persian Gulf in 1987 and 1988. As an officer who participated in this operation who then served in the region as a diplomat, Tom Duffy offers a unique perspective on Earnest Will. He argues that the fact that Earnest Will was a limited war and that it was fought with navies was key to its success.

"The State of Israel is not actually a country, not a society, not a people—it is a collection of reasons," writes Amos Oz. These reasons struggle and clash with each other, screaming to the heavens, sometimes pulling out a gun in the square. The growing divide is the contemporary Israeli identity: left and right, ultra-Orthodox and secular, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, veterans and immigrants, socialists and free-market adherents, fanatics and liberals, skeptics and idealists, Palestinians and Jews, the founding fathers and post-modern great-grandchildren.

קו השבר ברור: מצד אחד ניצבת אליטה בעלת כושר ניידות ואוריינטציה בינלאומית, שחבריה יכולים להרגיש בבית כמעט בכל פינה ברחבי העולם; מצד שני ניצבים המוני האזרחים הנייחים האחוזים בשורשיהם: קשורים בכבלי רגש לנוף מולדתם ולמסורת עמם, תלויים לפרנסתם בשוק מקומי, ומנהלים את חייהם בשפה מקומית. מעל הכול, כוחם הפוליטי תלוי במנגנון הדמוקרטי של מדינת הלאום.

Was macht man, wenn man auf einer Recherchereise im iranischen Gebirge nicht tanken kann, weil das Benzin aufgrund westlicher Sanktionen knapp ist? Oder wenn man eine vermeintlich zu kurze Hose trägt und die Strafe darauf lautet, in ein Fass mit schwarzer Farbe steigen zu müssen? Und warum reiste Amiri trotz aller Warnungen immer wieder in den Iran?
