Tunisian parliament rejects bid for French colonial apology
APNEWS.COM -- After a heated, 14-hour debate, Tunisia's parliament on Wednesday rejected a motion calling on France to apologize for crimes permitted during the colonial era and pay reparations. The debate came amid renewed anger in some European countries about colonialism's crimes, stemming from protests in the U.S. over racial injustice and police violence. "We are not going to feed Tunisians with such motions," said Osama Khelifi of the Qalb Tounes party. Lawmaker Mustapha Ben Ahmed of the Tahya Tounes party said, "We are for the most part the children of Bourguiba, who led the liberation struggle of the country after long years of imprisonment and deportations and built modern Tunisia by generalizing education and by emancipating women." France occupied Tunisia as a protectorate for 75 years, from ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Nobel Laurete Joseph Brodsky's 1989 Dartmouth College Commencement Address: In Praise of Boredom
MATIANE.WORDPRESS.COM -- Nobody is as bored as the rich, for money buys time, so expect boredom to hit as soon as the tools of self-gratification become available. In general, a man shooting heroin does so largely for the same reason you buy a video: to dodge the redundancy of time. When hit by boredom, go for it. Boredom is your window on time's infinity and teaches you the most valuable lesson in life: your utter insignificance. "You are finite", time tells you through the voice of boredom, "and whatever you do is, from my point of view, futile." The sense of futility, of limited significance even of your best actions, is better than the illusion of their consequences and the attendant self-aggrandizement. Boredom puts your existence into its perspective. The more you learn about your own size, the more humble and compassionate you become to ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
