Worth reading not only for its account of the birth of modern Greece, but also as an account of the prototype for nationalist movements in the Ottoman empire.

Anybody -- and I think some classicists might fall under this description -- with an inclination to sentimental philhellenism should read this book, if only to learn how central massacres of Muslims were to the construction of the Greek national identity. The author also does not spare the reader the horrors of Ottoman reprisals.

The book will also provide food for thought for open minded readers interested in Israel/Palestine*, showing as it does how recent has been the construction "national" identities in this region and how crucial the intervention of external imperial powers has been to this construction.

*I hope that such readers exist!

Chuck Schumer is too moderate and weak on most issues. But on Israel, he's a proud extremist. He argues that scripture mandates a Jewish state in Israel and that anyone who doesn't follow this religious, ethnonationalist doctrine is against peace in the Middle East. The Senate Minority Leader explicitly argues for "blood and soil" based on religious fundamentalism. Very little separates him from Republicans. #Israel #IsraelPalestine #FreePalestine

The Israeli destruction of villages in the south of Lebanon is both cruel and foolish. The inhabitants have had their lives ruined, and the anger these demolitions fuel will make peace and security for all in the region ever more difficult to attain.
