Hussein Ibish I've interviewed numerous times on Al Jazeera English: professional journalists who's work was deftly edited.

However, I was recently interviewed by Al Jareeza Arabic. A world apart. I emerged sweating, & I don't sweat easily

But absolutely NOTHING justifies shutting them down.

S Sebag Montefiore Herod is long overdue a really good high-budget biopic not directed by Ridley Scott. As is Psamtek I (absolute lad).

I dont think Joe Biden wld find this a restful read.
A tense Jewish state. An exasperated superpower. The advance of an empire in Iran/Iraq. Arab - Jewish war.
