fWotD Episode 3366: Diaspora Revolt Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 23 July 2026, is Diaspora Revolt.The Diaspora Revolt (115–117 CE, Hebrew: מרד הגלויות, romanized: mered ha-galuyot, or מרד התפוצות, mered ha-tfutzot, 'rebellion of the diaspora'; Latin: Tumultus Iudaicus), sometimes known as the Second Jewish–Roman War, was a series of uprisings launched by Jewish diaspora communities in several eastern provinces of the Roman Empire during the final years of Emperor Trajan's reign. Hostilities began while Trajan was engaged in his Parthian campaign in Mesopotamia, creating a favorable opportunity for rebellion. Ancient sources do not specify the motivations, but they were likely shaped by the Roman destruction of the Second Temple during the First Jewish Revolt in 70 CE, long-standing tensions between Jews and Greeks, the Fiscus Judaicus tax, messianic expectations, and hopes for a return to the Jewish homeland, Judaea.The uprisings broke out almost simultaneously in Egypt, Cyrenaica and Cyprus. Rebel attacks were directed mainly against locals rather than Roman authorities, with ancient authors such as Cassius Dio and Eusebius, as well as epigraphic evidence, reporting extreme violence. There is also a reference in Eusebius to Roman actions against Jews in Mesopotamia, though these events appear to have formed part of a broader local resistance to the Roman invasion of the Parthian Empire, rather than another Jewish uprising.Marcius Turbo, one of Trajan's top generals, was dispatched to suppress the uprisings in Egypt and Cyrenaica. Literary sources suggest that the Jewish population in these regions faced severe reprisals. Meanwhile, General Lusius Quietus quelled the rebellion in Mesopotamia and was subsequently appointed governor of Judaea. It was during this period that the poorly understood Kitos War may have occurred in Judaea, apparently involving unrest among the Jewish population. The diaspora uprisings were likely suppressed before autumn 117, just prior to Trajan's death; however, some unrest may have persisted into the winter of 117–118.The Diaspora Revolt led to the devastation, and in some cases the annihilation, of Jewish communities in Egypt, Cyrenaica, and Cyprus. Significant damage to buildings, temples, and roads is well attested in Cyrene and other parts of Cyrenaica. A festival celebrating victory over the Jews was still being observed eighty years later in the Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. The war is also believed to have ended Alexandria's early Christian community, which was largely of Jewish origins; the later non-Jewish Christian community adopted traditions that had originated in the city's Jewish population. Thirteen years after the diaspora uprisings, perhaps seeking to eradicate the seat of Jewish unrest, Emperor Hadrian re-founded Jerusalem as a Roman colony; in response, the Jews of Judaea launched the catastrophic Bar Kokhba Revolt. In the aftermath of the Diaspora Revolt, the largest Jewish diaspora communities were concentrated in Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and Italy. Jewish communities reestablished themselves in Egypt, Cyprus, and Cyrenaica during the 3rd–4th centuries CE, though they never reached their former prominence.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Thursday, 23 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Diaspora Revolt on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Niamh.

For review:1. US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it has completed its 11th consecutive evening of air strikes against Iran to further degrade the country's “ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz”.2. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that his country was in a “full-scale war” with the United States and that Tehran should accept the repercussions of the conflict, even as mediators reportedly proposed a 10-day truce to deescalate the fighting.3. US President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the US will be striking Iran's Pickaxe Mountain “probably pretty soon,” amid reports that Tehran has moved nuclear centrifuges, and possibly even enriched uranium, to the secretive underground enrichment site.4. Houthi Rebels on Monday announced they are imposing a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia  in retaliation for a blockade on Yemen and a recent attack on the Sanaa Airport. 5. Israeli intelligence has reportedly assessed that Iran has moved thousands of nuclear centrifuges into a site in the Natanz area known as Pickaxe Mountain, burying them deep underground and making them harder to target in aerial strikes.6. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, where he declared that his country will permanently end hostilities with Israel and asked for backing in his efforts to disarm Hezbollah. 7. Lebanese army troops began deploying in the southern Lebanese town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh Tuesday after Israeli forces withdrew from the area, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) said in a statement, in line with a US-brokered plan for “pilot zones” in the south.8. Two Hamas terrorists, including a commander, who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, and were responsible for the abduction of hostages, were killed in separate recent airstrikes, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet announced on Tuesday.9. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman warned Bulgaria on Tuesday against allowing the U.S. to use its territory for operations against Iran.The Bulgarian government has said it will seek parliamentary approval to station up to eight U.S. tanker aircraft at an air base in the Balkan country, which is a member of NATO and the European Union.

July 13, 2026The US has few options for extricating itself from Trump's war on Iran with conditions better than when it went into the war, or before Trump tore up the plan of action negotiated by President Obama, Trump is claiming that he will keep the Strait of Hormuz open, The administration continues to deny that Congress has any role in its activities in Iran, despite the clear language of the Constitution, Trump's sons have amassed a portfolio of defense tech startups that are benefitting from what the Pentagon is doing, In Maine, an ICE agent shot and killed a man from Colombia who was on his way to work but it appears he was not the man that ICE and Border Patrol were looking for, Less an a week ago, ICE shot and killed a man in Houston, who was close to obtaining legal status who also was not the person ICE was looking for, In Florida, a judge said that Trump, his lawyers, and lawyers for the DOJ, had manufactured the settlement of Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, She said that they launched the lawsuit to confer legitimacy on a course of action that they did not want to subject to judicial review, She recommended legal sanctions against some of the lawyers, She was “extremely troubled” by the testimony of Todd Blanche, who comes up for confirmation as Attorney General, on July 15.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Barely weeks after the United States and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, an interim deal intended to end hostilities and create a framework for a broader settlement, the agreement is in jeopardy.美伊签署《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》仅数周,这份旨在停止敌对行动、为达成全面解决方案搭建框架的临时协议如今已岌岌可危。The immediate trigger appears to have been disputes over the interpretation of the MoU's provisions governing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Yet the renewed confrontation is not simply another chapter in the rivalry between Washington and Tehran. It has evolved into a three-party strategic contest in which Tel Aviv's calculations also influence the pace and direction of events.此次危机最直接的导火索,似乎是双方对备忘录中霍尔木兹海峡通航条款的解释存在分歧。然而,这场重新燃起的对峙已不再是美伊双边博弈的简单延续,而是演变成了一场三方战略较量,其中特拉维夫的考量同样在左右着局势发展的节奏与走向。Israel has never concealed its willingness to prevent any US-Iran accommodation. From its perspective, even a temporary understanding risks reducing pressure on Tehran while leaving "unresolved concerns" over Iran's regional influence and nuclear issue. Recent reports suggest that Tel Aviv has been "coordinating" with Washington while simultaneously warning Tehran against retaliation. Israel's strategic intentions differ from those of parties seeking to preserve regional stability.以色列从未掩饰其阻挠美伊达成任何和解的意图。从其视角来看,即便是临时性的谅解,也可能减轻对德黑兰的压力,而伊朗的地区影响力与核问题等"核心关切"却依旧悬而未决。近期报道显示,特拉维夫在表面上与华盛顿"协调"的同时,也在私下警告伊朗不得采取报复行动。以色列的战略诉求,显然与那些致力于维护地区稳定的各方存在显著不同。This matters because the MoU was always less a peace agreement than a ceasefire held together by political convenience. It rested upon ambiguous language, diverging strategic objectives and fragile domestic calculations on both sides. Such pacts survive only when all parties concerned possess strong incentives to preserve them. That condition is disappearing.这一态势值得警惕,因为这份备忘录本质上并非和平协定,而更像是一份依赖各方现实政治利益而维系的停火安排。它建立在模糊的措辞、相互背离的战略目标以及双方各自脆弱的国内政治算计之上。此类协定得以存续的唯一前提,是所有相关方都拥有强烈的维护动机。而如今,这一前提正在消失。Washington's own calculations illustrate why. The US administration continues to face conflicting pressures. Military restraint satisfies voters weary of endless Middle Eastern crises. Yet any perceived concession toward Iran invites fierce criticism from domestic hawks. Rising oil prices threaten inflation, consumer confidence and electoral prospects, while renewed military action risks producing precisely the energy shock that the earlier agreement sought to prevent. Unsurprisingly, Washington has simultaneously resumed military operations while signaling its willingness to return to negotiations — an apparent contradiction that reflects political necessity rather than strategic coherence.美国自身的处境恰恰说明了这一点。美国政府持续承受着方向矛盾的内部压力:军事上的克制,能迎合厌倦了中东无休止危机的选民;但只要有任何被视为对伊朗让步的举动,又会招致国内鹰派的猛烈抨击。油价上涨会加剧通胀、打击消费信心并影响选情,但重启军事行动又极可能引发此前协议力图避免的能源市场震荡。因此,我们看到美方在恢复军事行动的同时,又释放出愿重返谈判的信号——这种看似矛盾的做法,反映的是国内政治妥协的现实,而非连贯一致的战略逻辑。Military force has repeatedly demonstrated its limitations. Months of strikes have neither fundamentally altered Iran's strategic judgments nor produced a durable diplomatic breakthrough. Instead, every exchange of missiles further erodes trust while increasing the probability that a miscalculation or third-party action could trigger a broader regional war.军事手段的局限性已反复得到验证。持续数月的打击,既未能从根本上改变伊朗的战略判断,也未能促成持久的外交突破。相反,每一轮导弹交锋都在进一步侵蚀双方互信,同时增加了因误判或第三方介入而引爆更大范围地区战争的风险。Energy markets understand this reality better than politicians. The world's consumers ultimately finance every failure of diplomacy in the Middle East. That is why the greatest danger today lies not merely in renewed hostilities but in the gradual normalization of perpetual low-intensity conflict. If the MoU collapses without a credible diplomatic successor, the region risks settling into a familiar yet dangerous equilibrium: intermittent strikes, periodic retaliation, disrupted shipping lanes and repeated diplomatic resets that never address the underlying disputes. Such instability benefits few beyond those who profit politically or economically from permanent confrontation.能源市场比政客们更清楚这一现实:中东外交的每一次失败,其最终账单都将由全球消费者来支付。正因如此,当今最大的危险不仅在于冲突的重启,而在于长期低烈度冲突的逐渐常态化。若这份备忘录最终失效,而又无可靠的外交替代方案,该地区或将陷入一种熟悉却危险的循环:间歇性的打击、周期性的报复、受阻的航道,以及从未触及核心矛盾、徒劳重启的外交进程。这种动荡局面,最终只会让那些从永久对抗中获取政治或经济利益的少数群体受益。As China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Sun Lei stressed at a UN Security Council briefing on the Iranian nuclear issue on Friday, a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities must hold in the Gulf.正如中国常驻联合国副代表孙磊周五在联合国安理会伊朗核问题通报会上所强调的,海湾地区必须维持停火,终止一切敌对行动。"China urges all relevant parties to overcome disruptive factors, refrain from the use or threat of force, preserve and implement the MoU, reach a solution that accommodates the concerns of all parties, lift the sanctions against Iran at an early date, and achieve substantive progress in the political settlement process," Sun said.孙磊表示:"中方敦促相关各方排除干扰因素,避免使用或威胁使用武力,维护并落实这份谅解备忘录,寻求兼顾各方关切的解决方案,尽早解除对伊朗制裁,推动政治解决进程取得实质性进展。"The proper settlement of the Iran nuclear issue must respect the legitimate aspirations and lawful rights and interests of the parties concerned. Iran should continue to uphold its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons. As a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran enjoys the legitimate right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The US should take concrete actions to create conditions for the political settlement of the Iran nuclear issue, Sun added.孙磊补充指出,妥善解决伊朗核问题,必须尊重相关各方的合理诉求与合法权益。伊朗应继续恪守不发展核武器的承诺;作为《不扩散核武器条约》的无核武器缔约国,伊朗拥有和平利用核能的正当权利。美方应采取切实行动,为伊朗核问题的政治解决创造有利条件。The Middle East has accumulated more than enough examples of wars that were easier to begin than to end. Another prolonged US-Iran confrontation will not produce a decisive winner. It will only weaken regional security, unsettle global markets, burden already strained economies and deepen divisions throughout the international system.中东地区已有太多"易战难和"的前车之鉴。美伊若再度陷入长期对峙,不会有绝对的赢家,其结果只会削弱地区安全根基、扰乱全球市场、加重各国本已承压的经济,并加剧国际体系的分裂。The choice confronting related parties is therefore stark. They can allow strategic mistrust, domestic politics and regional rivalries to dismantle an imperfect but valuable diplomatic opening. Or they can recognize that however unsatisfactory the MoU may have been, its implementation remains infinitely preferable to another round of instability. Even a fragile peace is always better than permanent war.因此,摆在相关方面前的抉择是清晰的:是任由战略猜忌、国内政治与地区竞争,摧毁这个虽不完美却弥足珍贵的外交窗口;还是认识到,无论这份备忘录有多少不足,落实它都远比再次滑入动荡要可取。毕竟,再脆弱的和平,也胜过无休止的战争。The world should not have to relearn that lesson yet again.世界各国不应再一次亲身验证这一道理。peace /piːs/ 和平war /wɔːr/ 战争choice /tʃɔɪs/ 抉择stability /stəˈbɪləti/ 稳定

In this Week 28, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, Grace and Ryan examine the renewed geopolitical and operational pressures affecting the global ship recycling market. Hostilities have resumed around the Strait of Hormuz, attacks on commercial shipping have increased, and vessel transits are once again facing uncertainty. Brent crude rebounded toward USD 77 to USD 78 per barrel, while the Baltic Dry Index climbed to 2,875 on stronger iron ore and coal demand. Higher oil prices and improving freight markets are giving owners of ageing vessels more reason to delay recycling decisions, placing the anticipated supply of recycling candidates on hold. Across the key ship recycling destinations, severe flooding in Chattogram has disrupted yard production and softened Bangladesh market sentiment. India continues to offer strong recycling capacity and more than 110 valid Statements of Compliance, but remains the lowest-priced sub-continent market. Pakistan's currency and steel prices remain comparatively stable, while Gadani balances renewed Gulf proximity advantages against changing steel import duties. Turkey recorded lower inflation, but Aliaga remains a compliance-led niche market with pricing well below South Asian levels. Key themes this week: Strait of Hormuz shipping risk, tanker attacks, Brent crude prices, Baltic Dry Index, ageing vessel supply, ship recycling prices, Chattogram flooding, Alang compliance, Gadani steel market, Aliaga recycling, currencies, monsoon disruption and vessel recycling demand.

Hostilities have ignited again between Iran and the US, undermining the fragile memorandum of understanding. US Central Command claims it's bombed more than 80 Iranian targets - the vast majority being small boats in the Strait of Hormuz. It says this is retaliation for Iran attacking three commercial vessels in the waterway. Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says it's not clear why the ships were hit - but there's been a noticeable back and forth between both nations, leaving the ceasefire on 'life support'.

The Forty-Deal Mirage: Why Sanctions Relief Will Cost American Troops Their Lives** In this blistering critique of ongoing U.S.–Iran foreign policy, the commentary unpacks the strategic and personal costs of a proposed maritime framework. The host sounds the alarm on President Trump's claims that the U.S. is close to a deal for the "fortieth time," contrasting White House optimism with uniform denials from Middle Eastern allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel. The monologue highlights a dangerous economic paradox: while the administration leverages the conflict to channel global refining and extraction profits into the American oil sector, it risks doing so at the cost of U.S. service members. Drawing a direct parallel to the catastrophic 2021 Abbey Gate bombing that permanently crippled Joe Biden's presidency, the host warns that Tehran does not need to defeat America militarily—they only need a handful of casualties to break the nation's political will. With backing from satellite data provided by China, Iran is sitting on billions of dollars in clogged oil reserves. Lifting sanctions and granting them a massive cash injection, the host argues, rewards hostile behavior and teaches the regime a lethal lesson: the more American troops they attack, the more money they receive.

Any quick net search for the term “cyber mercenary” will result in dozens, if not hundreds of entries. These concerns largely focus on the effect these persons or entities have on personal freedoms, economic activity, and the ability of hackers and States can work together to undermine human rights. What about cyber mercenaries and warfare? Can – or do – real mercenaries of the cyber domain of warfare actively participate in combat? If so, how can they disrupt armed conflict or undermine whatever humanitarian principles still exist in warfare? It took the international community years to catch up on the use of private military and security companies in armed conflict and we are still struggling with State-run quasi-mercenary organizations. We need to get ahead of cyberwarfare domain mercenaries now, while the genie is still peeking out from the bottle.   References: Convention (IV) respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land and its annex: Regulations concerning the Laws and Customs of War on Land.

The goals of the Trump administration's war with Iran have remained undefined since hostilities began on February 28, 2026. It remains unclear if the objective is regime change, ballistic missile control, or the dismantling of the nuclear program. The war is characterized by a lack of harmony between Israeli and U.S. strategic goals, which Germanicusdescribes as an "operational gambit" rather than a coherent strategy. The Iranian government (the Parthians) has issued a 30-day ultimatum demanding the opening of the Straits of Hormuz, the lifting of sanctions, reparations for air force damage, and an IDF retreat from Lebanon. The American presidency has transformed into an "Imperial Institution" or "Empire," allowing the president to prosecute wars without significant resistance from Congress, mirroring the authority of Roman emperors. The shift to an all-volunteer force and the federalization of the National Guard have created a military structure that is primarily loyal to the "emperor" (the president). A primary weakness of this "emperor system" is the suppression of dissent within the administration. Like the German general staff during Hitler's "Operation Sea Lion," current advisors offer only "consultative" or "weaselly" dissent rather than challenging the feasibility of the war. 2/31968 VIETNAM WAR PEOTESTERS
