Excellent study of Hubert Butler 1900-1991 by Robert Benjamin Tobin - The Minority Voice: 'How do such people, with brilliant members and dull ones, fare when they pass from being a dominant minority to being a powerless one?' So asked the Kilkenny man-of-letters Hubert Butler (1900-1991) when considering the fate of Southern Protestants after Irish Independence. As both a product and critic of this culture, Butler posed the question repeatedly, refusing to accept as inevitable the marginalization of his community within the newly established state.

Do not miss on Facebook both -

[b] *Abood Without Barriers*.
From Raqqa-born Syrian photographer ABOOD HAMAM, now 45, who has survived the terror of both the vicious and Kremlin-armed Assad Regime and the cruel terror of ISIL Jihadist gangs.
He very movingly and memorably captures both the haunting beauty and the unimaginable horror of his native land.
He was also featured from 11 AM to 11.30 AM today on BBC Radio 4 in their *Crossing Continents* series with Tim Whewell .
Feel [ rightly ] very disturbed by the CVD-19 nightmare which now faces us - across the Globe - as I certainly do ?
Just look at Raqqa for a while and see how much worse we could be. Humans have faced - and also survived - a lot worse, and we will also survive this time as well
And just as both Sarajevo and in 1945 Berlin rose from the ruis, so will Raqqa - eventually
And rebuild not only stones but a decent society and culture.
But they will be able to do so in part thanks to the inspiring witness of people like Abood Hamam.

Civil War - Roya Navy rescued Prot orphan boys whose orphanage was burnt down by Anti-Treaty IRA at Ballyconree near Clifden on June 30, 1922 Clifden
Civil War - British gunboat sent to Clifden: June 22 1922 Galwegians looked on with alarm as anti-Treaty forces, who had taken up positions in a number of buildings in the city, including the former RIC station at Eglinton Street, were preparing for a fight. That morning Michael Brennan, IRA commander of the only major pro-Treaty unit in the west, under orders from Richard Mulcahy Free State Army commander, entered the city with a large well armed force. They immediately secured the county-jail, the courthouse, and the railway hotel. Having seen the end of the War of Independence, and having voted by a substantial majority just weeks before for parties supporting the Treaty with Britain, this was a tragic state of affairs. Galwegians feared an all out pitched battle, followed by the horrors of the previous years of struggle. This time, however, the enemy was not Britain, but former friends and comrades.

Julia Neuberger, "Antisemitism: What It Is, What It Isn’t, Why It Matters" (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2019)
Julia Neuberger, "Antisemitism: What It Is, What It Isn’t, Why It Matters" (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2019): Anti-Semitic incidents, ranging from vandalism through murder, are on the rise in Great Britain, and across Europe and North America.
Julia Neuberger - Senior Rabbi at West London Synagogue, a member of the House of Lords, chair of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, and trustee of Full Fact, an organization dedicated to getting proper information and fair evidence before the public – writes for the contemporary reader who wants clarification of the way this insidious prejudice has reappeared in many parts of today’s society. She explains that anti-Semitism is not only a threat to Jews, but also to other minorities and to the society as whole, as it promotes paranoid conspiracy theories and irrationality.
Beginning with a history of anti-Semitism, from ancient times, through early Christianity, through the Middle Ages and on to Nazi ideology, Antisemitism: What It Is, What It Isn’t, Why It Matters (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2019) also explores the boundary between legitimate criticism of Israeli policies and anti-Semitic Israel -bashing.
Neuberger describes in detail the many manifestations of anti-Semitism in Britain, particularly, but by no means exclusively, as it has developed in the British Labor Party under Jeremy Corbin.
