How did he play on the radio during the British Mandate if he only started playing the saw in 1951?

Excellent review! One of the uncomfortable aspects of the Arab Revolt that the film elides is the fact that it began with the killing of two Jews as revenge for the British assassination of Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam

Yes, especially in Chile, Honduras, and El Salvador. Definitely adds another dimension to the discussion of settler colonialism and the place of ethnic minorities/colonized peoples in it

The same year as Samson's plan! He must have been an early adopter

And now a Palestinian politician, Nasry Asfura of the National Party, has been elected president of Honduras, beating another Palestinian candidate, Salvador Nasralla, of the Liberal Party. The parliamentary leader of the Liberal Party is a Honduran Jew, Yani Rosenthal. Samson would be so proud.

I would love to read it, and I'm sure that you could publish it anywhere- Haaretz, Aljazeera, The Guardian, etc. It would challenge the fixed binaries that are often associated with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Juroku Appurisu, a silly yet reliable squirrel, is the mascot for Juroku (16) Bank’s app. He likes chestnuts, walnuts, and asset management.

Salvador is definitely top 3 with SP and RJ, followed by Recife and BH. BrasΓ­lia is not a real city

Brazilian Belonging is the #1 New Release in Brazilian History on Amazon, ahead of books on ethanol, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and cocaine. Wall Street businessmen have a new drug of choice!

It's a great review, but Gabriel GarcΓ­a MΓ‘rquez is probably rolling over in his grave after being called "the working-class newsman from twentieth-century BogotΓ‘." He was a proud costeΓ±o from Aracataca, near Santa Marta
