Our Fathom Highlight this week features three pieces. Yossi Kuperwasser argues that regardless of whether Israel’s policy was wise, the most important aspect of the Rashida Tlaib and Ilan Omar Affair was what it revealed about shifting relations between Israel and the Democratic Party. William Kolbrener invites readers to conceptualise BDS as a movement cultivating an anti-Western sensibility that seeks to undermine liberal democratic institutions and the convictions upholding them. And, Michael Sercan Daventry reviews Erdogan Rising: The Battle for the Soul of Turkey by Hannah Lucinda Smith.
Our Image of the Week is people participating in the International Bible Marathon, West Bank, 18 October.
Our Voice of the Week is co-founder and research director at the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation Ladan Boroumand honouring the memory of civilians murdered by the Iranian regime. Interested readers can listen to a full conversation with Ladan here.
