Valery Sharifulin/ITAR-TASS/Corbis The opposition leader Vitali Klitschko attending a protest rally in Maidan square, Kiev, December 16, 2013 The students were the first to protest against the regime of President Viktor Yanukovych on the Maidan, the central square in Kiev, last November.

Arendt & Eichmann: The New Truth | Mark Lilla
1.In The Drowned and the Saved, Primo Levi’s final book on his experiences at Auschwitz, he makes a wise remark about the difficulty of rendering judgment on history. The historian is pulled in two directions. He is obliged to gather and take into account all relevant material and perspectives; but he is also obliged to render the mass of material into a coherent object of thought and judgment: Wi
The American Jewish Cocoon | Peter Beinart
Moshe Milner/Israeli Government Press Office Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meeting with Steny Hoyer and other Democrats from the US House of Representatives, Jerusalem, August 6, 2013 Speak to American Jews long enough about Israel and you begin to notice something.

Chasing Beirut's Ghosts | Robyn Creswell
Rabee Jaber’s novel, The Mehlis Report, published in Arabic in 2005 and now expertly translated by Kareem James Abu-Zeid, takes place in the summer and fall following Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri’s assassination.

Looking back, we might even conclude that it changed
Guantánamo and Torture: It's Up to Obama | David Cole
After four years of near silence on the post-9/11 legacies of torture and indefinite detention, President Obama responded to a question about Guantánamo this week by calling it “not sustainable” and “contrary to who we are.” Will the administration now follow its rhetoric with concrete action? Observers should be excused for being surprised by the White House’s seemingly unplanned statements on hu
Why Are We Funding Abuse in Ethiopia? | Helen Epstein
Mistreatment by the government is nothing new in Ethiopia, an essentially one-party state in which virtually all human rights activity and independent media is banned.
