One cannot go to Hannah Arendt’s work for comfort, Jennifer Szalai writes of the German-born political thinker. What she offers instead is “the company of someone who had direct experience of the horrors of the 20th century yet never relinquished what she called amor mundi, or ‘love of the world.’”

Frank Gehry, legendary Canadian-American architect, dies aged 96
The architect, whose work included the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, died after a brief illness
Frank Gehry, one of the most influential and distinctive talents in American architecture, died on Friday at his home in Los Angeles following a brief respiratory illness, his chief of staff confirmed. He was 96.
Gehry, the most recognizable American architect since Frank Lloyd Wright, was one of the first to embrace the potential of computer design, and pioneered a distinctively exuberant style of bravura power, whimsical and arresting collisions of form. His most famous work remains the Guggenheim Museumin Bilbao, a fantastical, titanium-clad composition on the Nervión River which received international acclaim upon its opening in 1997, heralding a new era of emotive architecture.

Im Giftnebel von Uri
Trotz eindringlicher Warnungen bestand General Guisan auf den Einsatz: Wieso sich immer wieder künstliche Nebelbänke über den Kanton Uri legten – und Tausende Rinder qualvoll auf den Feldern verendeten.

Im Réduit-Staat (Teil 3): Das toxische Erbe
Im Giftnebel qualvoll verendete Rinder, bei Explosionen getötete Kinder und Bauernfamilien in existenziellen Nöten: Die Schäden, die Bundesrat und Armeeführung mit ihrer Réduit-Strategie verursachten, sind gross. Im Gegensatz zu General Guisan gerieten die Opfer in Vergessenheit.

Over two days of Standing Together’s national convention we saw so many people who believe in this fight and in the urgent need for a just peace. People who know the only way we can move forward — and actually win — is through Jewish-Palestinian partnership.
