  Robespierre - The Architect of...

  Imagine you are sick of the government. Bureaucrats and aristocrats are constantly telling you what to do, basically enforcing a totalitarian regime. Maybe this is not so hard to imagine after what has been happening in recent years. And then imagine you protest. But the government has come up with a new method to kill people: The guillotine. Way more efficient than simple beheading, some jerk at the top then decides that anyone who is suspicious of rebellion needs their head chopped off, like the crazy lady in Alice in Wonderland. 
  This is Robespierre’s legacy. The evil French guy knew hardly any boundaries. He was vicious, murderous, and not to be taken lightly. 
  One of the most widely known figures of the Reign of terror was Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, a French attorney and statesman. He promoted universal manhood suffrage and the removal of both clergy celibacy and oppression as a member of the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club. In 1791, Robespierre ended up being a singing advocate of male residents without a political voice, promoting for their limitless entry to the National Guard, public workplaces, and the right to bear arms in self-defense. Robespierre was a key figure in the agitation that led to the deposition of the French monarchy on August tenth, 1792, and the assembling of a National Convention. His purpose was to establish a single, indivisible France, equality before the law, the abolition of authorities, and the defense of direct democratic ideal visions.

  Kindness - The Gentle Touch -...

  Kindness is often seen as a simple and basic concept, yet it holds immense power in transforming lives. At its core, kindness is the act of being considerate and generous without expecting anything in return. However, its effects extend far beyond the immediate gesture. Research has shown that kindness has a direct influence on mental and physical well-being, not only for the giver but also for the receiver. When we show kindness, whether through small acts like offering a smile or through more profound actions like supporting a loved one in need, we are engaging in a form of healing. The energy we radiate through kindness has the ability to uplift others, create positive connections, and promote emotional growth. 
  The power of kindness is rooted in its ability to create a ripple effect. When someone experiences an act of kindness, it often inspires them to pass it on to others. This chain reaction can spread far and wide, creating a compassionate network that has the potential to change communities and even societies. Kindness has the unique ability to bridge divides and bring people together, creating a sense of unity and understanding. 
  Moreover, studies have shown that kindness has tangible benefits for our own well-being. Acts of kindness activate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. This not only boosts mood but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, when we engage in acts of kindness, we experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment, contributing to a more meaningful life. This emotional uplift can even improve our physical health, as acts of kindness lower blood pressure and enhance heart health by reducing stress levels.

  Deluge - Gaza and Israel from...

  In September 2023, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan boasted that the Middle East "is quieter today than it has been in two decades." One week later, unprecedented violence in Gaza and Israel shattered the status quo and shocked the world.
  Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge punctured delusions of stability as hundreds of militants burst forth from the Gaza prison camp. In the ensuing carnage and firefights, 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken hostage.
  Israel's retaliation turned the besieged enclave into a howling wasteland. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in two months, including more than 7,000 children, and over 60 percent of homes were damaged or destroyed. Israel targeted the wounded and infirm, newborns and near-dead, as Gaza's healthcare system—hospitals, clinics, ambulances, medical personnel—came under a systematic attack unprecedented in the annals of modern warfare.
  The Hamas massacre and the Israeli extermination campaign which followed together mark a historic turning point in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The reverberations have also shaken politics far beyond, not least in Europe and the United States, where gigantic, round-the-clock protests for Palestinian rights pitted politicians against the public and exposed a growing statist authoritarianism.
  In this groundbreaking book—the first published about the 2023 Gaza war—leading Palestinian, Israeli, and international authorities put these momentous developments in context and provide an initial taking-stock.
  Why did Hamas attack? What is Israel trying to achieve? Did this catastrophe have to happen? And is there a way forward? The book's expert contributors address these and other questions, which have never been more urgent.
