#worldcup26 I watched 100/104 games, I enjoyed the enlarged format more than I expected. #fifa is alwasy fifa, it will be hard to get rid of some behaviours, yet football won and so the best team is bringing the cup back home. See you in MOR, POR and SPA in 4 years and hopefully Italy will be there.

#france #england looks like my games at fifa against my son #worldcup26

Not a great July 14 for France, I guess they were on holiday too

Great article on @972mag.com by my good friend @invisiblearabs.bsky.social #israel #palestine #church #vatican #pope www.972mag.com/pope-leo-gaz...

What Pope Leo won’t say about Gaza is testing the Church

Leo XIV has embraced his predecessor’s ethic of empathy. But across the Church, many are demanding he speak out more clearly against Israel's crimes.

I filled the car this morning at 9AM, $3.92 per gallon, is now $4.25 (same gas station). #Iran #hormuz #oil

The #worldcup of goalkeepers, catenaccio (Italian style defense) and some great surprises.

First waffle served! #Belgium #usa

Que partido!!! #Mexico #England

Red card! No question about it. Will #Mexico take advantage of it?

maybe the ball was touched, maybe not. As a ref, I would have just allowed the goal, given there was no clear picture, and let #croatia and #portugal play the extra times and let the players decide the game. I've been in similar situations, hate them.

Likely the most emotional game (not counting those of Italy) I have ever watched in my life, and I watch a lot of football! Not sure VAR got it right, but still a great game and chapueax to #modric #worldcup #portugal #croatia

I interviewed Arpan Roy, author of 'Relative Strangers Romani Kinship and Palestinian Difference' a great book discussing the little known Domani community in #jerusalem and #palestine @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social @uoftpress.bsky.social newbooksnetwork.com/relative-str...

1 July, time for some changes

A Swedish man, hired to kill somone in Limerick, killed himself in a car crash as he forgot to drive on the left. Limerick is truly no longer the 'stab city' (was it ever?) as even this business has been outsourced!

To see my book (the blue cover) in a bookstore is something I found extremely satisfying (just saying). A bit of ego, at times, I guess is fine. #jerusalem #gerusalemme

La Citta' Contesa, Gerusalemme e la Nascita della Questione di Palestina (Viella) e' da oggi in libreria.

Here is my latest podcast for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social a great interview with Fida and and Sabri Jiryis discussing a book published a long time ago, but just recently translated. The Foundations of Zionism newbooksnetwork.com/the-foundati...

Excellent article that everyone should read.

I wrote about rising antisemitism, and why everyone is getting it wrong. forward.com/opinion/8195...

Glad to share my latest article published by the Jerusalem Quarterly (104) discussing the ways in which we can teach the history of Jerusalem www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1658...

This is interesting. When I teach the Making of the Middle East, I started asking students: what if? It's interesting to see how many paths may have been taken.

By 1914, the Ottoman empire looked much more promising as a multiethnic society than a multireligious one. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/10/o...

By 1914, the Ottoman empire looked much more promising as a multiethnic society than a multireligious one. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/10/o...

What if the Ottomans Survived?

Recent scholarship shows the promise—and limits—of a historical path not taken.
