The reincarnation of Hitler in some national leader and the heroism of Churchill, both stand-by props of neoconservatives, rear their head again in a recent commentary by Daniel Gelernter. Expecting neocons to abandon their continual reference of these props would be comparable to asking the Democratic Party to stop talking about “systemic racism” or Mike Pompeo to cease mentioning “our values.” Why give up rhetorical tricks that elicit applause and large checks from wealthy sponsor...

"The Road to Oran" by David Brown The attack—or battle, or massacre, or whatever one wishes to call it—on Mers El-Kébir is not well known in the popular history of the Second World War. Perhaps this is because it doesnt fit the common narrative of a war against the Germans because neither France nor Britain (much less the United States) has had much of a reason to immortalize it and because it is so cloudy with so many different interpretations.
