The New Arab: Washington's Islamic State-saturated foreign policy narrative is misguided
The Aspen Security Forum, a conference series that has become a fixture on the national security calendar, last week travelled abroad for the first time, to London. Twitter and social media at large found itself in the crosshairs of frustrated security professionals.

The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
