This month we mark the 10th anniversary of the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. Today, that war is largely over, but the picture of the Syrian girl wounded in a regime air strike (shown above) should serve as a reminder that its lessons should not be forgotten. The brutal regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad survived the challenge of what began as a peaceful popular uprising because the international community allowed him to commit war crimes while remaining indifferent to the crucial roles of those who aided and abetted his crimes: the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia. Next month, we will mark Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. As the United States seeks to reengage with Iran over its nuclear program, the lessons of history and the Holocaust should serve to inform future negotiations with the Islamic Republic.

Is the real Klaus Schwab a kindly old uncle figure wishing to do good for humanity, or is he really the son of a Nazi collaborator who used slave labour and aided Nazi efforts to obtain the first atomic bomb? Johnny Vedmore investigates.
On the morning of 11 September 2001, Klaus Schwab sat having breakfast in the Park East Synagogue in New York City with Rabbi Arthur Schneier, former Vice President for the World Jewish Congress and closely associate of the Bronfman and Lauder families. Together, the two men watched one of the most impactful events of the next twenty years unfold as planes struck the World Trade Center buildings. Now, two decades on, Klaus Schwab again sits in a front row seat of yet a generation-defining moment in modern human history.

For four days at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Orlando, speakers at the Conservative Political Action Conference shared a number of contentious views, from echoing false claims about election fraud to undermining the seriousness of a pandemic that has killed more than 512,000 Americans.
But some critics also took aim at a seemingly more mundane detail: the shape of the conference stage.
Images of the CPAC stage went viral this weekend as many noted a resemblance to the Odal or Othala Rune, a symbol emblazoned on some Nazi uniforms. The Anti-Defamation League has classified the insignia as a hate symbol, which has been adopted by modern day white supremacists.
