Katrin Glatz Brubakk arbeitete im Herbst 2024 einen Monat lang als Kinderpsychologin im Nasser-Krankenhaus in Khan Younis im Süden des Gazastreifens. Mit ihrem Tagebuch aus dieser Zeit zeigt sie, was der Krieg psychologisch mit den Menschen und vor allem den Kindern macht. Unter welchem unvorstellbaren Stress leben sie? Welche existentiellen Sorgen haben sie? Welche Krankheiten und Folgen tragen sie für ihr weiteres Leben davon? Katrin Glatz Brubakk zeigt aber auch, wie sehr sich die Menschen einander helfen wollen — vor allem dabei, die Hoffnung aufrechtzuerhalten.

Após o fatídico 7 de outubro de 2023, estopim de mais uma sangrenta etapa do conflito entre Israel e Palestina, estatísticas e uma profusão de imagens em torno da escalada de vítimas fatais inundam o noticiário global, num processo em que crianças, homens e mulheres se tornam conhecidos somente a partir da morte — e não da vida.

Chi è il vero responsabile del ritorno della guerra in Europa? Secondo il mantra della narrazione occidentale dominante, c'è un solo e unico colpevole: Vladimir Putin, novello Hitler, che avrebbe invaso l'Ucraina senza alcuna motivazione, se non quella di un violento e sfrenato espansionismo. Ma è lecito porsi ulteriori dubbi. In realtà, secondo lo storico americano Benjamin Abelow, sono gli Stati Uniti e la NATO a essere i principali responsabili della crisi ucraina.

This book lays out the true reasons why a percentage of American citizens have a fetish for their strong desire for assault weapons, and why as of 01/06/21, there was a display of deplorable people who were willing to maim and kill politicians for the first time in American history for the sake of an American president.

Il podcast Sigonella 85 ripercorre le 51 ore drammatiche del dirottamento dell’Achille Lauro, “la nave più bella del mondo“, per poi concentrarsi su ciò che è avvenuto a Sigonella: il primo no detto da un Governo Italiano agli Americani, un rifiuto che ha scatenato la più profonda crisi Italia-USA mai verificatasi dal Dopoguerra, e che ha messo in discussione gli equilibri di tutto il mondo. Un contrasto diplomatico che ha rischiato di trasformarsi in uno scontro militare. Eppure, a sentire chi, quella sera, era presenta a Sigonella, le cose non sarebbero andate così come ci sono sempre state raccontate.

Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

Bush announced the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom, a military operation intended to remove the Taliban in Afghanistan and ensure that terrorists from al-Qaeda had no safe haven in that country.

The US-led war in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 was one of the most controversial wars in recent history. The invasion of Iraq was justified by claims that the regime of Saddam Hussein had links with terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, and possessed weapons of mass destruction that might be used in an attack on another country. Both these claims were later shown to be false.

In the 1970s, a network of radical extremists terrorised the West with plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the beautiful young Leila Khaled with her jewellery made from grenade rings, the hard-drinking philanderer Carlos the Jackal sporting shades and open-neck shirts, and the radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. They sought to liberate the Palestinians and overthrow western imperialism, orchestrating spectacularly violent attacks that held governments to ransom and the world gripped to their television screens.

A nationally recognized security expert reveals the REAL Terrorist threat from the U.S. Southern Border and already INSIDE America.

The American way of war is enabled by the concept of massing all available firepower—when done correctly it makes US forces hard to beat. However improvised explosive devices have increasingly enabled a new kind of asymmetric warfare, one that conventional forces continue to struggle to counter. This book offers a "counter-IED playbook," one based upon the author's experiences of over ninety months of combat operations, working the problem sets of Fires, Effects, IEDs, Close Target Reconnaissance, Tracking-Tagging-Locating (TTL), and Information Operations.
