Lines in the Sand - Israel’s International Law Violations in Post-Assad Syria. Content Warning.
The night the Assad regime finally crumbled was one of the most joyous moments in recent history. Syrians took to the streets, finally able to breathe, to tear down and tear apart the statues of the dictator and his father. The seven million-strong diaspora and their friends around the words did not sleep a wink. Even once it was confirmed that Assad fled the country, and that the PM Ghazi al-Jalali announced he will cooperate with HTS, we could not believe it was over.

The Minoan Civilization
We will embark on a journey to explore an intriguing ancient civilization that thrived on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean. This civilization, known as the Minoans, bequeathed us with stunning palaces adorned with artifacts and records from the Bronze Age. Remarkably, the Minoan civilization was only rediscovered in recent history, despite its remarkable contributions. The Minoan civilization thrived on the island of Crete during the Middle Bronze Age, approximately from 3000 to 1500 BCE. The term "Minoan" was introduced by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, who associated this culture with the mythical King Minos of Greek lore. In the early 20th century, specifically between 1900 and 1905, Evans excavated the ancient city of Knossos, providing substantial evidence of a highly developed Cretan society.
