                Tom Segev. Looking Back, Israeli Historian Tom Segev Thinks Zionism Was a Mistake April 4, 2025 — By Ofer Aderet (Analysis and Summary) Haaretz  Israeli historian Tom Segev , long known for his critical lens on the history of Israel and Zionism , has made perhaps his boldest statement yet. At the age of 80, Segev reflects on his personal journey and the historical myths that shaped both his family narrative and the nation’s identity. His revelations , detailed in an in-depth Haaretz article, offer not just a personal reckoning but a broader challenge to Zionism’s moral and historical foundation . Key Themes and Analysis 1. Personal Revelation and Historical Reckoning Segev opens his reflection by confronting a deeply personal myth : the circumstances of his father’s death during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. For decades, he believed the official narrative that his father, Heinz Schwerin, was killed heroically...

Turning Lifelines into Leverage: Israel’s Plan to Control Aid in Gaza Sparks Global Outcry

For over two months, Israel has restricted aid access into Gaza —a territory already reeling from massive displacement, bombings, and near-famine conditions. Now, a new plan by Israeli authorities to control aid delivery has sparked outrage from the United Nations and international NGOs. 1. What Is Israel Proposing? Israel wants to create military-controlled “hubs” within Gaza where international aid can be distributed. Under this plan, private contractors would manage the flow of food, medicine, and water—under supervision of Israeli forces. 2. Why Are Aid Groups Refusing? Humanitarian organizations argue that this proposal violates principles of neutrality. They believe it turns life-saving aid into a political tool, essentially using humanitarian support to pressure Hamas and control civilians. “It contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles,” said the United Nations in a joint statement with aid groups. 3. Mass Displacement and Humanitarian Zones As part of its comi...

From “Hamas Looked at Me Wrong” to “An Israeli Raped Me”: The Curious Case of Mia Schem’s Shifting Headlines

Ah, Mia Schem . The face of hostage survival , the darling of Israeli media, and, apparently, the victim of just about everyone — depending on which week it is. Let’s rewind . Back in late 2023, Mia was abducted by Hamas during the infamous October 7 Nova music festival attack . Tragic? Absolutely. No one in their right mind would wish such trauma on another human being . She was held for 54 days , wounded, and later released as part of a hostage exchange . S he became a symbol — paraded across global media as proof of Hamas’s inhumanity. In one bizarre interview with Western outlets, she suggested that while in captivity, Hamas fighters “raped her with their eyes.” That’s right. No physical assault reported , no formal accusation — just a poetic kind of violation . A stretch? Many thought so. But hey, nuance was out, and propaganda was in . Fast forward to March 2025. In a surprising twist of narrative, Mia filed a police complaint — not against Hamas , not against some lurking ter...

$220M RETENTION AWARDS TO STAFF BY CREDIT SUISSE WHILE $2.2B LOSS DURING 3RD QUARTER.

" The Swiss bank said in a financial report released on 29 September that during the first six months of 2023 , it had paid a total of $220m in retention awards and to staff working on acquisition-related activities. The bank also warned that it expected a $2.2bn loss during the third quarter including $1.6bn in loan losses from assets placed in the combined group's so-called bad bank. Credit Suisse made selective retention awards to key staff in a bid to stop them leaving after UBS's $3.25bn acquisition was pushed through in March, people familiar with the matter told Financial News previously. Many of these were for senior dealmakers within its investment bank, they said" The Swiss bank was losing 200 employees every week after the shotgun marriage, and around 8,000 staff departed during the first half of 2023 " SOURCE: https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/credit-suisse-shells-out-220m-to-retain-key-staff-during-ubs-takeover-20230929
