If sacrifices of the same type become intermingled, the Mishna rules that they are offered for "whichever owner they belong to." However, in cases where smicha is required, how can the sacrifice be brought, since one cannot perform smicha on another's offering? Rav Yosef explains that the Mishna must be referring to women, who are not obligated in smicha. Men's sacrifices, by contrast, would not be offered; instead, they would be left to graze until they developed a blemish and then sold, with new animals purchased for the altar. Abaye raises a difficulty from a braita that discusses public and individual sacrifices that became mixed both before and after slaughter and were nevertheless offered. Since public sacrifices are brought by men, the braita must also be referring to individual sacrifices brought by men. Rava resolves this by reinterpreting the braita, noting a difficulty in its plain reading. He explains that it refers only to a case where the blood of the animals was mixed after slaughter, and not to intermingling of live animals. In the braita cited by Abaye, Rebbi rules that if the blood of two animals was mixed in one cup, the kohen may combine the sprinkling for both sacrifices, but only if there is enough blood for each. A difficulty is raised against Rebbi from another braita in which he quotes Rabbi Eliezer regarding the red heifer purification waters, where no minimum amount is required for sprinkling. The same should apply to blood. Two answers are offered: either the purification waters differ from blood, or Rebbi was not stating his own view but merely quoting Rabbi Eliezer. Rami bar Hama poses two questions concerning a firstborn animal that became blemished. Rabbi Yosi bar Zevida attempts to answer from the Mishna about firstborns intermingled with other sacrifices, but his answer is rejected. The Mishna states that only sin and guilt offerings cannot be intermingled, since their differences are identifiable. The Gemara considers whether other offerings might also fall into this category, but all such suggestions are rejected. If a guilt offering becomes mixed with a peace offering, they are offered according to the stricter requirements of the two. This could potentially cause sanctified items to be disqualified. Rabbi Shimon does not have an issue with this, but the rabbis disagree and do not allow it. Rava limits Rabbi Shimon's ruling to a post facto situation and does not permit it ab initio.

The braita in Zevachim 51 extrapolates from the third mention (by the nasi) of the base of the altar that for all sacrifices on the outer altar the remainder of the blood is poured on the base, the yesod. The braita then raises a question: perhaps the extrapolation should be different — that the sprinkling of sacrificial blood on the outer altar must be performed only on the sides where there is a base, i.e., not on the southeast corner, since the base did not extend there. A difficulty on that suggestion is drawn from the verse's wording. The verse states "to the base of the altar of the olah," which suggests relevance to all sacrifices on the outer altar rather than only to the olah. But the sin offering, which is placed on the outer altar, is positioned on all four corners and not limited to the three corners where there is a base. If the verse had intended the latter ruling, it should have been phrased "to the base of the olah," referring specifically to the burnt offering where that limitation would apply. The Gemara resolves this difficulty by explaining the unique inclusion of the word "altar" in the verse: it teaches that when blood is spilled on the base, it must be spilled on the roof of the base (top flat surface) and not on the wall of the base. With this reading, the subsequent lines of the braita, where Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva each say the law could have been derived by a kal va'chomer are reread including mention of the roof of the base. Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva appear to assert the same logical argument using slightly different wording. Rav Ada bar Ahava and Rav Papa propose possible distinctions between their positions. Rav Ada argues that because Rabbi Akiva used more extended language about the remainder of the blood, that it "does not atone" and "does not come for atonement purposes," Rabbi Akiva must regard pouring the remainder as nonessential. Rabbi Yishmael, having said only "it doesn't atone," must hold that pouring the remainder is essential. Rav Papa rejects this reading, maintaining that no one posits an obligation to pour the remainder of the blood. He narrows the difference between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva to the specific case of the bird sin offering: whether mitzui, squeezing out the remainder of the blood and placing it directly on the wall of the altar while squeezing, is essential. Rav Papa understands Rabbi Yishmael to require mitzui, while Rabbi Akiva does not. A braita is then cited to support Rav Papa, showing that Rabbi Yishmael holds pouring the remainder is not essential. A difficulty is raised against Rav Papa's position, but the Gemara resolves it. Rami bar Hama introduces a tana who maintains that for sin offerings whose blood is placed on the inner altar, pouring the remainder of the blood on the base of the altar is essential; Rava, however, rejects this understanding of the braita and its conclusion. Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi dispute whether Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Akiva actually differ on the question of whether the remainder of the blood for inner sin offerings is essential.

A recent 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study explored the effects of the probiotic strain Weizmannia coagulans BC99 on symptoms of anxiety and depression. The trial involved 79 participants who received either 3 grams of the BC99 probiotic, containing 5 billion CFUs, or a placebo daily. While both groups saw improvements, the BC99 group experienced a greater reduction in depression and anxiety scores (HAMD and HAMA scales) compared to the placebo group, though this difference was not statistically significant.More significantly, the study found that BC99 supplementation led to several key biological changes. It helped regulate inflammatory cytokines, notably increasing the anti-inflammatory IL-10. Participants taking BC99 also showed a significant increase in the calming neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (-GABA). Furthermore, the probiotic altered the gut microbiome by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria like Faecalibactrium, Megamonas, Dialister, and Agathobacter, while also boosting the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionic and isobutyric acid. These findings suggest BC99 may alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression by positively influencing the gut-brain axis.3.

Several difficulties are raised against the conclusion that the elders of the South must hold that the Paschal sacrifice may be brought on behalf of someone who is impure from contact with the dead. After presenting a challenge based on a question posed by Rami bar Hama, the Gemara concludes that Rami bar Hama clearly disagrees with the elders of the South. He maintains that the Paschal sacrifice cannot be brought for someone who is impure, and if it is, the offering is disqualified. A baraita is cited as a challenge to Rami bar Hama’s position, but the difficulty is ultimately resolved. Notably, there are two different versions of this challenge.

Die Zahlen 3 und 9 wurden auf dem Ziffernblatt vertauscht - als kleine Provokation in Richtung USA (wegen des Zolltarifs in Höhe von 39 %). Es soll eine zeitlich begrenzte und nur in der Schweiz verfügbare Uhrenkreation sein.

For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.  We're joined by Jared from the SWORDS & SCROLLS podcast to talk about WULF THE BARBARIAN, written and drawn by LARRY HAMA with inks by KLAUS JANSON. Hama created a character who's a "barbarian" in name only. "Wulf the Warrior" would have been a better name, but we suspect the shot-callers were chasing Conan's audience.

"Happy birthday to Hadran’s newest wonderful addition to the team.

However, the Gemara will later explain that this is the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda, but the rabbis disagree and obligate the individual. If the Beit Din teaches an erroneous ruling and a judge or student who has reached a stage of one who can issue halakhic rulings realizes they have made a mistake but follows their ruling anyway, he is obligated to bring a sin offering. If the court issues an erroneous ruling and the majority of the community follow it, there is an obligation to bring a special sacrifice called ‘the bull offering of an unwitting communal sin (par he’elem davar shel tzibur). Shmuel and Rav Dimi disagree about the language that must be used by the court for it to be considered “an erroneous ruling of the court.” Three sources are brought to support Rav Dimi’s position. In a second version of the debate, they switch positions, and the sources are raised as difficulties against Rav Dimi. The Mishna described the actions of the individual who is exempt when sinning by following an erroneous ruling of the court using the words “shogeg al pihem, unwitting by their words.” In two different versions of Rava’s explanation of this term, it either refers to two different cases or to one. If it refers to two, it would include an exemption in an additional case – if the court ruled by mistake that a piece of forbidden fat was permitted, and the individual meant to eat a piece of permitted fat, but accidentally ate the piece that the court permitted. Even though Rava had an answer to that question (obligated or exempt, depending on the different versions of Rava’s explanation), Rami bar Hama asked the same question and did not know the answer. Again, in two different versions, Rava answers the question by explaining the term in the Mishna. However, Rami bar Hama rejects his answer as the term is ambiguous. The Mishna lists various ways in which the individual or a judge/student can potentially follow a ruling of the court. What is the significance of the order in each case? How is a “teacher capable of issuing halakhic rulings" defined, and why was it necessary to include this category in addition to that of a judge? The Gemara quotes two braitot, one explaining the source for Rabbi Yehuda’s position in the Mishna, exempting an individual who follows the court, and the other explaining the source for the rabbis' dissenting opinion obligating an individual who follows the court. The latter braita is complicated to understand, and the Gemara irons out its meaning and shows how it reflects the rabbis' position.

Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, nous débutons par la Syrie, plus précisément par un reportage dans les régions ouest de la Syrie, littoral de la Méditerranée, ce sont des fiefs de la communauté alaouite, la communauté de l'ex-président Bachar el-Assad réfugié en Russie. La région a connu et connait des vengeance et règlements de compte sanglants entre soutiens des nouvelles autorités et tenants de ce qui fut la terrible dynastie des Assad Bachar et Hafez, avec un fond de dissensions également confessionnelles sunnites alaouites. Bilan : des centaines de morts, dans les gouvernorats de Lattaquié, Tartous, Hama et Homs, le calme n'est toujours pas revenu.  En deuxième partie, Louis Seiller revient sur le génocide de Srebrenica, il y a 30 ans. Quelles séquelles, quelles mémoires ? Trois décennies après le massacre de plus de 8 000 Bosniaques musulmans par les Serbes. Syrie : quatre mois après les massacres, la côte alaouite toujours en proie aux violences Aujourd'hui nous voici en Syrie, sur une bande littorale que l'on appelle le réduit alaouite, fief des soutiens à l'ancien régime de Bachar al-Assad. Quatre mois après les massacres dont a été victime principalement cette communauté, (ils ont fait des centaines de morts) violences et exactions persistent dans ces gouvernorats de Lattaquié, Tartous, Hama et Homs.  Il y a d'un côté : les factions les plus radicales, en soif de vengeance envers un régime qui a multiplié les crimes et qui s'en prend aujourd'hui à la minorité alaouite. De l'autre, les loyalistes à l'ancien régime. Ils appellent à l'insurrection armée et mènent régulièrement des attaques contre les membres de la sécurité générale. Une commission, initiée par le nouveau gouvernement et chargée d'enquêter sur ces violences, doit rendre ses conclusions dans les prochains jours.   Un Grand Reportage de Manon Chapelain qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. À Srebrenica, à l'ombre du génocide, l'impossible réconciliation Il y a trente ans, du 11 juillet au 17 juillet 1995, plus de 8 000 hommes et adolescents bosniaques musulmans étaient systématiquement assassinés autour de la petite ville de Srebrenica, dans l'est de la Bosnie. Ce massacre a été l'un des points culminants des 3 ans et demi de guerre qui ont opposé les différents peuples de ce pays des Balkans. La justice internationale l'a qualifié de génocide, et elle a condamné à perpétuité ses principaux responsables bosno-serbes. Mais 3 décennies après, la mémoire douloureuse de la guerre et de ce massacre divise toujours Serbes et Bosniaques qui vivent dans la région, le long de la Drina… Un Grand reportage de Louis Seiller qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Xeno Legendium The Life of Hama Great Grand Son of Iblis (Lucifer) Companion of Prophet Nuh AS Podcast Edition by Xeno Legendium & Muhammad Hamzah Sakura RyukiHama bin Heem bin Laheem bin Iblis was said to be a jinn of formidable lineage, tracing his ancestry directly to Iblis (Lucifer), the accursed one. Unlike his ancestor, who was cast out of the heavens for his defiance, Hama bore the burden of his lineage with a heavy heart. Living through the ages, he witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations and carried the curse of being a descendant of the one who defied Allah's command. Despite his dark ancestry, Hama was not blind to the truth of divine guidance. From the time of Prophet Adam AS, he observed the rise of prophethood and the warnings of impending punishment for those who transgressed. When the call of Prophet Nuh AS echoed through the land, urging his people to abandon their idolatry and return to the worship of the One True God, Hama felt a stir in his heart. Though Iblis continued to sow discord among men and jinn, Hama found himself drawn to the message of Prophet Nuh AS (Noah).

At that moment some dozen Orcs that had lain motionless among the slain leaped to their feet, and came silently and swiftly behind. Two flung themselves to the ground at Eomer's ´ heels, tripped him, and in a moment they were on top of him. But a small dark figure that none had observed sprang out of the shadows and gave a hoarse shout: Baruk Khazaˆd! Khazaˆd ai-meˆnu! An axe swung and swept back. Two Orcs fell headless. The rest fled. Eomer ´ struggled to his feet, even as Aragorn ran back to his aid.Q3 - What do you think of the whole battle?Q4 - What do you think about Aragorn poking his head out and treating with the Orcs?There suddenly upon a ridge appeared a rider, clad in white, shining in the rising sun. Over the low hills the horns were sounding. Behind him, hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands. Amid them strode a man tall and strong. His shield was red. As he came to the valley's brink, he set to his lips a great black horn and blew a ringing blast.Q4 - Thoughts on ErkenbrandQ5 - Thoughts on the changes of this chapter from book to movie?Chapter 8 -The Road to IsenguardQ1 - What do you think of the hillmen and men of Dunland?In the midst of the field before the Hornburg two mounds were raised, and beneath them were laid all the Riders of the Mark who fell in the defence, those of the East Dales upon one side, and those of Westfold upon the other.

Long it seemed to them that they sat and were afraid; but at last the darkness and the rumour passed, and vanished between the mountain's arms.Q4 - Are these Ents?Q5 - What do you think or Orthanc?

C'est le cas des femmes de la chorale Gardénia. Créé en 2016, en pleine guerre, ce groupe de chanteuses et musiciennes a un répertoire d'œuvres classiques, mais depuis peu, elles reprennent aussi des chansons des manifestations anti-régime. Depuis décembre, elles multiplient les représentations à travers tout le pays. Notre envoyée spéciale, Sophie Guignon, les a suivis de Damas à Alep.  De notre envoyée spéciale de retour d'Alep, À Damas, tout juste libérée du joug des Assad, les chanteuses de la première chorale féminine de Syrie sont en pleine répétition sous la direction de Safana Bakleh. Fondée en 2016, la chorale reprend des morceaux arabes classiques, mais aussi, depuis la chute du régime, des chants des manifestations de 2011. Safana Bakleh : « Avant, on devait faire attention à chaque mot. Tous les citoyens syriens ont un petit censeur qui vit en eux et on doit s'habituer à l'idée que c'est fini.

Au cœur de l'une des plus vieilles villes du monde, pilonnée par l'ancien régime et son allié russe. La chorale redonne vie à un caravansérail entouré de ruines en entonnant les hymnes de la révolution syrienne.

President Donald Trump is right to believe that Iran is in a historically vulnerable position right now.    The Assad regime is kaput. Hezbollah's effectiveness has been dramatically reduced since Oct. 7. Hama is living underground among the rubble of Gaza.    However, even with a maximum pressure campaign, oil embargoes, domestic instability, two things will never change:    You can't trust a word that comes out of the Iranian regime's mouth, and their legitimacy hinges on acquiring nuclear weapons, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “The pressure is all on Iran. Militarily. Diplomatically. Economically. Socially. Culturally. What do I mean by that? Culturally, there is about 30% to 40% of the country are non-Farsi Persian speakers. And they're very restive, angry. Power outages. The regime is unpopular. It's diverted billions of dollars to these terrorist appendages that now didn't pay off, that they're defunct.    “And so, Donald Trump thinks that he, with this maximum pressure, putting this crushing oil embargo—which by the way, Joe Biden lifted—that he can bring them to negotiations one last time.   “Personally, I don't think he can. Nothing that that regime has ever said is accurate. Nobody in the MAGA movement wants an optional war in the Middle East. But they will have nuclear weapons, perhaps in a year. So, what is the likely scenario?”

En Syrie, après 54 ans d'une dictature qui appliquait une censure implacable aux médias et éliminait toute voix critique, une nouvelle ère s'ouvre pour les journalistes en Syrie. L'agence de presse et les chaînes officielles, qui ne servaient qu'à diffuser la propagande du régime, ont été renversées et de nombreux reporters exilés se réinstallent progressivement en Syrie. Ahmed al-Charaa, le nouveau maître de Damas, a promis de faire respecter la liberté d'expression. Si certains veulent y croire et investissent dans la création d'un nouveau paysage médiatique pour la Syrie, d'autres restent méfiants. Travailler et émettre depuis Damas, en plein cœur de la Syrie. Une scène encore impensable il y a quelques semaines pour Mohamed Al Dughaim, producteur de la chaîne Syria TV, un des médias d'opposition les plus suivis en Syrie, dont le siège est à Istanbul en Turquie. « Nous sommes actuellement dans l'hôtel Sheraton, à Damas, et nous avons transformé une partie des chambres de l'hôtel en studio temporaire pour Syria TV, indique-t-il. Nous sommes arrivés à Damas progressivement avec les forces rebelles au fil des offensives militaires, d'abord Alep, puis Hama, puis Homs, et enfin Damas. C'est la première fois que l'on parle de Damas en étant à Damas. C'est un très beau sentiment pour tous les syriens et pour tous les journalistes. »Financée par le Qatar, Syria TV compte 250 employés répartis entre la Syrie et la Turquie. Sur la terrasse de l'hôtel, un plateau télé a été érigé. La chaîne diffuse des informations en direct 3 à 4 h par jour depuis Damas. Pour le producteur originaire d'Idlib, c'est le début d'une nouvelle ère. « Aujourd'hui, on peut parler de tout en Syrie sans être inquiété, sans que les services de renseignement ne vous convoquent, et sans risquer d'être emprisonné. L'avenir des médias en Syrie est bien meilleur qu'à l'époque de Bachar al-Assad. »Après 54 ans de dictature durant lesquels aucune critique du pouvoir n'était tolérée, la nouvelle administration dirigée par Hayat Tahrir Sham (HTS) – l'un des groupes rebelles qui a repris Damas – a annoncé début janvier s'engager en faveur de la liberté d'expression, avec quelques limites. « Dans la nouvelle Syrie, nous garantissons la liberté de la presse, mais il existe des lignes rouges sur certaines questions, comme la diffusion de la haine au sein de la société, ou tout ce qui touche à des sujets susceptibles d'attiser les tensions sectaires. Ne pas préserver la cohésion sociale est aussi une ligne rouge », explique Ali Al Rifai, directeur des relations publiques au ministère de l'Information. Le ministère a aussi annoncé que les journalistes ayant collaboré avec le régime devront rendre des comptes. Dans les cafés de la capitale, de nombreux Syriens se retrouvent pour débattre à haute voix de l'avenir du pays. Une scène, elle aussi, inimaginable il y a peu. « Nous sommes heureux d'avoir cette nouvelle liberté d'expression. J'ai beaucoup confiance dans la société syrienne qui est aujourd'hui très éveillée. Rien ne passe inaperçu. Il y a une pression populaire contre toute décision qui serait inappropriée », raconte Colette Bahna, écrivaine et activiste pour les droits des femmes, qui savoure cette liberté retrouvée. Pour de nombreux syriens, la prudence reste de mise. Seul le temps permettra de savoir si ces promesses de liberté dureront.À lire aussiSyrie: à Jaramana, la vie reprend dans une atmosphère de peur et de méfiance

Early this month, Harvard Law School students participated in a “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon” workshop. Students were asked to "gather data to edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms to reflect cases they have recently argued," according to The Washington Free Beacon. What actually happened? Several students singled out and warped the Wikipedia pages of big law firms who previously that they would cut back recruitment from universities that did not curb the spread of anti-Semitism on-campus following the Oct. 7 Hama terror attacks. What are we getting at? For decades, America's elite law schools have degraded their standards in the pursuit of social justice and have become wholly dependent on foreign money. Now, it's finally catching up to them, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

There are four sources in the Torah to derive the law that the accused must be warned before committing the crime in order for the court to convict. Why were all four necessary? Rav Chanan ruled that eidim zomemim who falsely testified against a betrothed woman that she engaged in relations with another man are not killed as they can claim they were only trying to forbid her to her husband and not to get her killed. However, a question is raised regarding laws of warning - as when they testified, mustn't they need to testify that they warned her that if she engaged in relations with this man, she would receive the death penalty, and then it would be clear that they were trying to get her punished with murder?! The Gemara answers that Rav Chanan must have made his statement regarding a case where the woman was a chavera, a woman who adheres strictly to mitzvot and according to Rabbi Yosi b'Rabbi Yehuda who does not require a warning for chaverim. Rav Chisda explains which types of contradictions are accepted in testimony and which ones are not. However, four sources are brought to raise difficulties with Rav Chisda's statement, but each is resolved. One source was from our Mishna regarding Ben Zackai who asked about the stem of the fig. Is Ben Zackai Rabban Yochanan ben Zackai or not? The Mishna explains that if one witness says "I don't know" regarding a bedika question, the testimony is accepted, and also if both say "I don't know." The latter case is unnecessary and that leads Rav Sheshet and Rava to offer alternative versions of that line in the Mishna. Rami bar Hama asked Rav Safra and Rav Kahana: if both bedikot and chakirot are required by Torah law, why if the witnesses say they don't know in a chakira question, the testimony is cancelled but in a bedika question, their testimony stands? They answered that chakira questions are necessary to establish the testimony since without it, it is testimony that cannot be cancelled by eidim zommemim, as they establish where and when the event transpired. If the witnesses have a discrepancy of one day regarding the date, it can be assumed that one did not know when Rosh Chodesh was, and that they are actually referring to the same day. However, this is limited to the first part of the month, as once it is the middle of the month, one can assume that they know the correct date. There is a blessing that is recited each month on the new moon, birkhat (kiddush) ha'levana. Until what day of the month can it be recited? Rabbi Yochanan answered, however, there are two opinions to explain what date he was referring to - the seventh of the month or the sixteenth.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with John Carl Baker, director of programs at Ploughshares, to discuss the ongoing political unrest in South Korea. Then, she speaks with Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics & adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the recent developments in Syria after rebel forces entered Aleppo. First, Emma runs through updates on the search for the UnitedHealthcare CEO's killer, SCOTUS' oral arguments on Tennessee's ban on trans care for minors, Memphis Police discrimination, Trump's elite-led cabinet, questions about Tulsi Gabbard's loyalties, Pete Hegseth's myriad embarrassments, Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's legal woes, and the future of Democratic leadership, before parsing a little deeper through yesterday's oral arguments for US v. Skrmetti in front of the Supreme Court, and the fear that they might uphold Tennessee's violently transphobic policy. John Carl Baker then joins, diving right into a step-by-step breakdown of how South Korean President Yoon's attempt (and failure) to declare and enforce martial law last Tuesday developed, beginning with his declaration and assembling of soldiers and police around the National Assembly, through the rampant protests to allow legislatures to enter the assembly to vote down Yoon's attempted coup, and to the overwhelming 190-0 (in an assembly of 300) veto of the President's martial law. After briefly touching on the limited vocal support for Yoon from among his conservative allies, Baker steps back to explore the history of South Korea's conservative ties to dictatorship, beginning with Japan's brutal 30-year occupation of Korea through the end of the Second World War – an occupation bolstered by cooperation and support from conservative, capitalist, and right-wing Koreans – and through the sequential regimes of Chon Doo-hwan and Park Chung-hee from the 1960s-80s, with Park Geun-hye (daughter of Chung-hee) even rising to the Presidency just a decade ago only to be impeached over her corrupt practices, also unpacking the continued prevalence of authoritarian strains within the South Korean right over the last century. He and Emma then look at the non-coup-related failures of Yoon's regime that created both his overwhelming unpopularity and the strong opposition he sought to undermine via coup, wrapping up the interview by unpacking the role of the US in backing Yoon's regime, and what the ideal future of US-Korean relations would look like to the Korean electorate. Professor Giorgio Cafiero then joins, first running through updates on the recent sweeping offensives by Syrian rebels, successfully taking both Aleppo and Hama from the Assad regime, before taking a sharp step back as he walks us through the evolution of the 13-year Civil War, beginning with the Arab spring and spurring the intervention of myriad regional and international actors, through the 2015 intensification of conflict at the hand of increased Russian support for Assad and Iranian-backed groups, and to the lull in tensions that started in 2020, only to break this past week. After parsing through the more specific history of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the deep and complex ties between the Syrian and Iranian regimes, Emma and Professor Cafiero tackle the prevalent role of external conflicts in how the impact of these Syrian Rebel conquests will unfold, with Iran's involvement in Hezbollah's conflict with Israel and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine giving two major parties conflicting interests. Cafiero expands on the precarious state of the Syrian state at this moment, looking both at what that means for a potential (however brief) lull in conflict and for the future of the Syrian government, before wrapping up with the ongoing role of Israeli relations in shaping Middle Eastern politics. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they listen to Eddie from Fort Worth's Stetson Kennedy recommendations, talk with Gary from North Carolina about the divide between Trump voters and down-ballot GOP voters, and admire Jane Fonda's performance on Bill Maher.
