On October 7, 2023, Hamas fighters killed more than 1,100 Israelis and took more than 200 hostages, prompting an Israeli response that has in turn taken tens of thousands of lives and devastated the Gaza Strip. Why did this happen, and can anything be done to grant peace and justice to Israelis and Palestinians alike?In their new book Tomorrow Is Yesterday, veteran negotiators Robert Malley and Hussein Agha offer a personal and bracing perspective on how the hopes of the Oslo Peace Process became the horrors of the present. Drawing on their experience advising U.S. presidents (Clinton, Obama, and Biden) and the Palestinian leadership (Arafat and Abbas),  and their participation in secret talks over decades, Malley and Agha offer candid portraits of leading figures and an interpretation of the conflict that exposes the delusions of all sides. They stress that the two-state solution became a global goal only when it was no longer viable; that U.S. officials preferred technical schemes to a frank reckoning with the past; that Hamas's onslaught and Israel's war of destruction were not historical exceptions but historical reenactments; and that the gaps separating Israelis and Palestinians have less to do with territorial allocation than with history and emotions.Join Robert Malley to hear about the issues raised in the book and the latest political developments in the region. *NOTE: This podcast contains explicit language.

This week on Giant Sized Violence we're joined by Bijhan Agha, a creator active in the realms of comics, novels, and game design. We discuss her latest project, "Legendary X-Nights #2," a Tokusatsu-inspired comic that features a diverse cast of queer martial artists battling evil vampires across time. Bijhan shares insights into the characters' backgrounds, their unique superhero identities, and the thematic depth of the story, and how these relate to their own personal experiences with broader political issues. The conversation also touches on the pacing of comic storytelling, the influence of classic comics, and the importance of representation in media, particularly for marginalized communities.

We started our reading in Govardhan Hill with a theme led by a specific verse (SB 11.3.31): smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca mitho 'ghaugha-haraṁ harim bhaktyā sañjātayā bhaktyā bibhraty utpulakāṁ tanum The last line says that you'll experience transcendental symptoms in your body. Tanum means the body, and that means when we interact with the world, we experience various changes in our bodies, like heart palpitations, we can worry about things; we can become affected. And we can also become affected by the power of transcendental experiences and interactions. It's one of the noticeable points made in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta. In fact, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu experienced extreme changes in His body because of His ecstasy and love of Kṛṣṇa, in reaction to chanting and remembering Kṛṣṇa and so forth. So, bibhraty utpulakāṁ tanum means your hair will stand on end; you'll feel ecstasy in your body. But why? I'm going backward in the verse, which says bhaktyā sañjātayā bhaktyā. This means that one kind of bhakti, which is official bhakti, means that you don't really have more than an intellectual understanding of it; your hair isn't standing on end, and you don't feel ecstasy. But as you continue it, then you'll change from that official kind of bhakti into the real life of bhakti. Just like when children grow up, they start to understand a lot of things they didn't understand before and they couldn't have; they didn't have the capacity. So, in the beginning, we don't have the capacity, but bhaktyā sañjātayā bhaktyā—from one kind of bhakti, another kind of bhakti emerges. It awakens naturally. Now you getting interested in the first two lines? Like how do we get there right? It's good going backward! So then, the verse says mitho 'ghaugha-haraṁ harim. How do you become purified? Well, when I'm in a pure state, I have all these discordant vibrations going on in my citta, in my consciousness, and it's really hard to get them out. They're really banging around in there, and they're impelling me to do things that are even against my own self-interest—even my intelligence will say, "Why are you doing this?" And the response is, "I don't know, I can't stop myself." This is the phenomenon of being entrapped in material life, being a conditioned soul. But the verse is saying that what is causing us to be in such discord with our self-interest is an accumulation of these vibrations, the vibrations in the material world. And those all get cleaned up! It says mitho 'ghaugha-haraṁ harim. Agha-ogha—try saying that. Yeah, if you say it a few times, people think you are Tarzan or something! Agha-ogha is the horrible accumulation of the worst kinds of poisonous vibrations that you can ever imagine. It's awful, and it's what causes us to suffer, and all that gets cleaned up. How? Aha, we come to the first line. It says smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca mitho. Mitho means by meeting together in a group like this, or smaller (you can have two people, if you want), and smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca—remembering Kṛṣṇa and causing other people to remember Kṛṣṇa. Then, by that meeting, all of the unwanted things get destroyed within the heart. Somebody asked, "Why?" Our ācāryas say, "Because it pleases Kṛṣṇa when He sees the devotees come together to remember and cause others to remember." And then, by that process, one advances from official bhakti to real bhakti. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ---------------------

Question: What is so special about reading together in the association of devotees? Excerpt from the answer: It is because it pleases Kṛṣṇa. In fact, there's a verse from Bhāgavatam (SB 11.3.31) that explains the phenomenon. It says: smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca mitho 'ghaugha-haraṁ harim bhaktyā sañjātayā bhaktyā bibhraty utpulakāṁ tanum The first line, smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca, says "those who come together to remember Kṛṣṇa and cause other people to remember Kṛṣṇa." Mitho means "to meet together," and thus mitho 'ghaugha-haraṁ harim refers to that assembly where people are reminding one another and remembering Kṛṣṇa together. Agha means sin, like the demon Aghāsura, and aghaugha-haraṁ signifies that the huge warehouses of horrible sinful reactions are destroyed in that assembly when you are speaking about and reminding one another of Kṛṣṇa. The last line bibhraty utpulakāṁ tanum, says then in that assembly, by reminding others and remembering Kṛṣṇa together, because it pleases Kṛṣṇa, your body starts to feel ecstasy. Your sins are all destroyed, and you start to feel ecstasy, and your bodily hair stand on end and things like that. What's more, the third line 'bhaktyā sañjātayā bhaktyā' says you transfer yourself from sādhana-bhakti to rāga-bhakti. You move from one kind of bhakti to another. How ? In the assembly reminding one another about Kṛṣṇa. So it's the most recommended of all processes to get together like this, and you will see your Bhāgavatam will solve all problems, and all the other benefits are mentioned.------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

When you step into the Seattle Asian Art Museum’s new exhibit… you feel small. You’re surrounded by light, blocks of color reaching across the floor, creeping up the walls. The art takes up space, immersing you in light and shadow, as though you’ve entered another world. Steel cubes carved with meticulous designs hang from the ceiling. Papercraft covered in embroidery line the walls. What looks like a giant doily hangs from strings by the entrance. All lit to project intricate patterns across the space. This is "Geometry of Light," an exhibit the museum opened in late August. The artist behind it is Anila Quayyum Agha, the first Pakistani American to ever have a solo exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. She talked to Soundside about her art, what it's like to be the first Pakistani American to have an exhibit at the museum and what she hopes people take away from "Geometry of Light."

With a cease-fire in place in Gaza after two years of war, Donald Trump has proclaimed the arrival of peace in the Middle East. At the moment, however, it's not even clear if the cease-fire itself will hold, let alone whether there's a viable path to a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Few are more familiar with the elusiveness of peace in that conflict than Robert Malley. He has served as a senior Middle East official in American administrations going back to the 1990s. He has sat across from Israeli and Palestinian leaders at moments of great optimism and, more often, greater disappointment. And in a recent piece for Foreign Affairs, drawing on a new book co-authored with Hussein Agha, Malley argues that the cause of that disappointment is Washington's dogged insistence on a two-state solution that neither Israelis nor Palestinians really want. Years of folly, Malley and Agha argue, have seen the United States claim “success even as its efforts yielded serial disaster.”  Malley offers a harsh indictment of decades of U.S. Middle East policy—a policy that, in his assessment, has done more to destabilize and inflame the region than contribute to a lasting peace. Editor Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with him about America's record in the Middle East, the devastation of the war in Gaza, and what could perhaps rise from the wreckage.

For decades, the United States backed efforts to achieve a two-state solution—in which Israel would exist side by side with the Palestinian state, with both states recognizing each other's claim to contested territory. The veteran negotiators Hussein Agha, representing Palestine, and Robert Malley, an American diplomat, played instrumental roles in that long effort, including the critical Camp David summit of 2000. But, in their new book, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday,” they conclude that they were part of a charade. There was never any way that a two-state solution could satisfy either of the parties, Agha and Malley tell The New Yorker Radio Hour's David Remnick in an interview. “A waste of time is almost a charitable way to look at it,” Malley notes bitterly. “At the end of that thirty-year-or-so period, the Israelis and Palestinians are in a worse situation than before the U.S. got so heavily invested.” The process, appealing to Western leaders and liberals in Israel, was geared to “find the kind of solutions that have a technical outcome, that are measurable, and that can be portrayed by lines on maps,” Agha says. “It completely discarded the issue of emotions and history. You can't be emotional. You have to be rational. You have to be cool. But rational and cool has nothing to do with the conflict.” On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

On September 9, 2025, Israel Defense Forces struck inside Doha targeting members of the Hamas negotiating team. With the Israeli government appearing to reject any ceasefire despite the remaining hostages in Gaza, urgent questions emerge about the future of millions of Palestinians. Amid the crisis, a new book offers some clarity and context: "Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine" by Rob Malley and Hussein Agha. Drawing on decades of negotiations between the US, the Israeli government, and the representatives of the Palestinian people, the authors explore how we got here and what it could portend for the future.

From 'Sea Shells: Emerging Poets from Gaza' selected and translated by Batool Abu Akleen: https://modernpoetryintranslation.com/sea-shells-an-anthology-of-emerging-poets-from-gaza/

Batool Abu Akleen is a poet and translator in Gaza, Palestine. Her home in Gaza City and her university have been bombed and she has been displaced multiple times. We talked to her about refusing to write and then choosing to write through the genocide; about the importance of mentors; and about creating a community of literary translators in Gaza. Her first full-length collection, 48 kg, is set to appear from Tenement Press in June of this year. (Apologies for the sound quality; Batool spoke to us from one of the rare public venues in which it is possible to access the internet in Gaza; the connection was less than perfect and there is some background noise). Batool's discussion of her new collection and the meaning of its title is at 16.46 and Batool and Marcia's reading of the poem Milad/Birth is at 20.24. Show notes:You can pre-order Batool's 48kg from Tenement Press. It's coming June 15. Batool also has poems in the new GRIEF issue of ArabLit Quarterly and in Modern Poetry in Translation's Salam to Gaza.Batool is one of the authors of Comma Press's forthcoming Voices of Resistance, set to appear in August 2025.You can also read work by Heba al-Agha at ArabLit.You can donate to Batool's GoFundMe at gofundme.com/f/donate-to-support-batools-causeYou can subscribe to BULAQ wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode we go over how my grandfathers morning opium crew lead to his fortune

Von Edith Meinhart. Selma Nassan-Agha ist Psychiaterin in Wien. Weil sie selbst syrische Wurzeln hat, suchen viele Geflüchtete bei ihr Hilfe. In ihrer Praxis spiegelt sich alles wider, was ihre Patienten ängstigt, um den Schlaf bringt und mitunter sogar um den Lebensmut. Als vor wenigen Monaten Staatspräsident Baschar Hafiz al-Assad aus dem Amt gejagt wurde, konnte es Innenminister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) nicht schnell genug gehen. Kaum war der Gewaltherrscher in Syrien gestürzt, richtete Karner bereits aus, Geflüchtete könnten nun zurückkehren. In diesem Gespräch schildert Nassan-Agha aus ärztlicher Sicht, was Geflüchtete verunsichert und stresst. Und wie sich politische Debatten - wie zuletzt auch in den USA, wo Präsident Donald Trump Polizei-Einheiten losschickte, um Migranten festnehmen und abschieben zu lassen - auf die Gesundheit von geflüchteten Menschen und ihre gesellschaftliche Integration auswirken.
