Maybe we can learn from history

What the Good Soldier Schweik Knew Then by Norman Berdichevsky is one of those gem-like articles of history that paints current events within reoccuring themes of history. It points out interesting similarities between the Serbian nationalism of the pre-WWI era with the behavior of Fatah and the PLO. A good read.

Norman Berdichevsky is a translator from Hebrew and Danish into English. He is a regular contributor to several journals in Britain, the United States and Israel on culture, history, geography and linguistics.
