a proud day New Lines Magazine: This excellent piece by Gaby Galvin on Denmark's "Ghetto Laws" around childcare just won a European Press Prize. It is a fascinating and thought provoking read about migration, integration, and education in the nordic state. newlinesmag.com/reportage/grow…

A super fun read about the creative lengths young magicians are going to in Nigeria to hone their craft and perform it for a public that is often reaaaaaaal sketched out by a card trick. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/the-…

Such stories are the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters. Four elite commandos infiltrated the Assad regime’s nerve center, eliminated top officers & destroyed the main ops center, cutting all comms. Assad’s forces collapsed into chaos. 11 days later, Assadist 50-year rule was over.

"ارتفع العلم الأميركي اليوم باعتزاز في دمشق، ومعه ارتفعت آمال وطموحات الشعب السوري بفضل رؤية الرئيس الجريئة والشجاعة وقراره بتاريخ ١٣ أيار. رفع الرئيس العقوبات الثقيلة ليتيح للسوريين تقرير مصيرهم بأنفسهم، وفوّض رئيس الخارجية لنسج ملامح جديدة للسياسة الخارجية في الشرق الأوسط" 🇺🇸

A man heroically rescues one of his shoes from incoming traffic, although he nearly killed himself and others in the process. It feels like a metaphor for something.

A “non-aggression agreement” was one of two ideas I suggested as a plausible scenario for Israel & Syria, as “adjacent” to the Abraham Accords. Since the Golan for normalization = not possible. Interesting that it’s now touted as an interim scenario reuters.com/world/middle-e…

At New Lines Magazine we have several intellectual projects, from showing how “locals” can offer worse narratives than outsiders due to class or ideological bias, to anchoring current events in history. One focuses on global thinkers not centered in the West, led by Danny Postel. 👇

It’s rare to see, but the US policy in Syria is an example of how the US can be a force for good in the world without incurring any cost! This may upset some but Syrians & others say this wouldn’t have been possible under President Obama, President Biden or a President Harris.

هل حظيت دولة في التاريخ الحديث بدعم شعبي وإقليمي ودولي كما حظيت به سوريا بعد سقوط نظام الأسد؟ إجماع عجيب كمّاً ونوعاً. دبلوماسي خليجي حكى إن سبب هذا الاحتفاء والاحتضان يتناسب طرداً مع مدى كره العالم لنظام الأسد وسوئه، رغم أن كثيراً من الدول تعاملت معه.

These scenes of Saudi FM strolling in Damascus’ grand mosque mark 6 months since Assad was toppled, a befitting projection of new Saudi regional outlook vis-a-vis Iran after Trump’s visit (a visit to the West Bank would be for both Iran & Netanyahu)
