        The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul

        A black and white still featuring a shirtless muscular man appeared in an Ottoman magazine in 1910. The man, who is well chiseled, is demonstrating his own physical excellence that was achieved through a regime of exercise and gymnasiums.

        9/11 at 25 — Why Israel Fuels Islamophobia | Palestine This Week

        In this episode we speak to Muhammed Shehada about his clash with the Board of Peace and his concern that it is burying evidence of genocide in Gaza. We unpack revelations in the Haaretz that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned in advance of the 7 October attack. Marking twenty-five years since 9/11, we look at how the War on Terror emboldened Israel, and at the rise in Islamophobia since — fuelled by Israel-linked groups working in alliance with the far right. We close on Britain’s sanctions against Israeli settlement products, the ferocity of the backlash, and how easily measures like this can be circumvented.     WATCH: Israel’s Campaign Trail Runs on Cruelty Towards Palestinians | Palestine This Week
