A Clarification from Fawwaz Traboulsi: Let Us Remember the Causes and Lessons of Civil Wars, and Forget the Violence

Remember causes and lessons, forget the violence — the opposite of the illusion that reminding people of massacres prevents wars. Reducing war to sectarianism is explaining water by water.

Fawwaz Traboulsi Remembers the Troika in "Democratic Yemen" (4/4)

وعد بلفور: نظرة جديدة مقالتي اليوم في القدس العربي

The Balfour Declaration: A New Look - My Article Today in Al-Quds Al-Arabi
