There is no unified Lebanese narrative. There are two opposing narratives: that of Hezbollah, which for decades has called itself the "resistance" (with or without an occupation), and that of the rest of the country, which, together with the government, wants to liberate the territory through a negotiated peace with the enemy.

Versione Italiana The dramatic events unfolding in Lebanon with the Israeli occupation extending — despite a declared ceasefire that no one can see in practice — all the way to…

The problems afflicting the islands and the mainland are not only political, they are existential. The need for the popular will to be transformed into political will has never been so acute.

Versione Italiana There was a moment last week at the Rialto Pescheria that brought what I’ve been feeling about living in Venice recently into sharp focus. I was seated among…

Simone has been left to run alone, as alone as a candidate written off as a loser in the political circus can be.

Versione Italiana Just a few days before the voting starts in the municipal elections, Luca Zaia appeared in Mestre to lend his support to Simone Venturini, the center-right candidate for…

For Japan, the pink flowers aren’t simply there to be admired on their own. They are imbued with meaning, from the most trivial to the most profound.

Versione Italiana 【TOKYO】 “If you want to understand Japan, you have to know its four seasons,” a correspondent friend of mine once confided to me. Indeed, the Japanese themselves never…

Iran has learned the hard way that without an atomic bomb it cannot deter determined adversaries like Israel and the United States from inflicting enormous damage with conventional weapons.

Versione Italiana As is well known, there are two main unresolved problems at the center of the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran: Iran’s nuclear program and freedom…

The question being raised here goes beyond party and policy and gets down to what kind of government Venice wants to have. Brugnaro radically changed the local government power structures to give power to himself and radically changed the conduct of public business to crush opposition. Is this what we want?

Versione Italiana It is rather rich in irony to see Simone Venturini tout his Veneziano roots in his campaign for mayor of Venice, given that for the past eleven years…

Everything that has contributed to Venice's gradual decline can be regulated, brought back to a human scale, and returned to sustainability. The city deserves management that recognizes it for what it is: a fragile and precious community that can only survive if real people actually live there.

Versione Italiana Venice must become a living city again, not a shell hollowed out by overtourism. It needs to be a place where people can live, raise a family, work,…

A surplus in a municipal budget means that expenditures fell below revenues (taxes and other income): thus, it means elderly people left without assistance, children without daycare, people in need without support, public housing left unmaintained. There is nothing virtuous about it, nothing to be proud of.

Versione Italiana On May 3rd, during the Martella-Venturini debate, the latter made several remarks worth revisiting. The first concerns “public debt [which has been] reduced by two hundred million euros”……

Twenty-seven years after Zeev Sternhell's The Founding Myths of Israel, the Israeli historian's essay is once again relevant. It dismantles the idea of a progressive Zionism set against a religious one, and shows how Israeli national identity, from its very origins, fused secularism and messianic mission into a single project.

Versione Italiana It has been 27 years since Baldini & Castoldi published a book in Italy that is still important today — both for its content, which is disconcertingly timely,…

From the myth of the Founding Fathers to the domination of Netanyahu's right: the Israeli left has lost its identity and its people after finding itself incapable of interpreting a country whose social and cultural makeup had changed.

Versione Italiana For 29 years, the party of Israel’s founding fathers identified with and embodied, in every way, the state as the “home of the Jewish nation.” Twenty-nine long, intense,…
