Syria: A Modern History
New York: Basic Books, 2026
Syria has had a significant impact on current events. The harsh domestic politics that land has attracted international intrigue during its civil war, allowed for the temporary creation of a Salafi Jihadist ruled religious dystopia, and caused a migrant crisis in Europe. (more…)

Nothing quite kills like kindness — as we have learned once again with the recent atrocity in the French Riviera town of Nice, where a Muslim-piloted truck swept along two kilometres of the famous Promenade, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, taking over 80 lives. (more…)

The recent intervention of the Russians in Syria raised hopes among many in the Alt-Right that ISIS (a.k.a. Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) would be swept away like dune dust, and President Assad restored to his adoring people. Since the Russians got involved, however, not much has really changed. Assad may be looking a little more stable and one or two villages may have changed hands, but the country remains a chaotic mess. Why, one wonders, is this the case? (more…)

Early in his Battle for Our Minds: Western Elites and the Terror Threat Michael Widlanski, an American-born Israeli university professor, casually introduces a bedrock assumption among Israel’s vocal defenders: the inviolability of Israel’s dominant Jewish majority. Racial diversity and multiculturalism, we are told by Jewish liberals and neoconservatives alike, are sources of great national strength and social dynamism for Western nations, but for Israel the same prescription for strength and dynamism would have the opposite effect, resulting in death rather than health.

Anti-colonialism must be a component of any ideology that attempts to defend rooted identities. It is necessary to oppose the uprooting of peoples in the pursuit of power and wealth. In both its historical imperial form and in its modern financial guise, colonialism has warped both the colonist and colonizer, mixing, diluting, and even annihilating entire cultures and peoples. We know about the negative impact of colonialism on the colonized. (more…)

„Foley svojou prácou sledoval špecifickú agendu, keďže sa pokúšal odhaliť ,zverstvá’ Asadovho režimu a podporiť ,demokratické’ hnutie. (more…)

[Foley] had a specific agenda with his work–he was trying to expose the “atrocities” of the Assad regime and support the “democracy” movement. (more…)

It’s not that America shouldn’t get involved in Syria. It’s that we are on the wrong side.
