Middle World

Because Israel has contributed so much to all of us, what was once just an Israelite culture has grown to become what is by and large an inherited world culture.

Tras la muerte de Nur-al-Din, sultán de Siria, Saladino emprendería la conquista del territorio sirio protagonizando una serie de feroces batallas en las que se tuvo que enfrentar con sus peores enemigos. Pero gracias a su grandiosa habilidad guerrera tomó posesión de dicho país convirtiéndose en el sultán de Siria y en uno de los grandes gobernantes del mundo islámico, cuya figura es símbolo de caballerosidad medieval y por ello goza de admiración en varios culturas de Medio Oriente.

He reminisces what it felt like in Lebanon to go back to a semi-normal life after his intense years living undercover in Baghdad, fearing for his life on a minute-by-minute basis.
