Delighted to inform you that an article committed by our participant, Ildiko Otova, for our Current Forms of Antisemitism course has been published.

"A true Culture of Peace should stand in stark contrast to a Culture of War. On this occasion of the 25th anniversary, we must ask ourselves whether we have created a world in which peace is more profitable than war. Have we created that alternative to a Culture of War and Violence? The UN Secretary-General’s ‘A New Agenda for Peace’ policy brief identifies trust, solidarity and universality as the fundamental principles upon which friendly relations and cooperation among nations and societies should take place. However, as the Policy Brief also identifies, these principles are followed extensively in the breach, and therefore we have the current situation of mistrust, lack of a sense of fellowship, and selective application of universal principles." https://t.co/KFQh7yM0lW

April 20 #Netherlands2024 Jon Stewart: "For God's sake, #Iran is an enemy today because we [United States] overthrew their democratically elected government in 1953. 💯💯💯 They are an enemy because we travelled thousands of miles to remove them from their homeland and enslave them.🎯 They are an enemy because we overthrew their elected government. 🎯 At least we have principles. They are not principles if we keep switching them on and off. 🎯❤👌💯 The double standards of the West is staggering. It's one rule for White supremacy & another for the rest of the world." 🎯 STOP SUPPORTING OUR OPPRESSORS. WE ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE. #HumanRights #humanity #HumanRightsViolations #dehumanizing #colonalism #imperialism #WhiteSupremacy #Iran #OurAllies #StopSendingArms #accountability
