Washington Examiner: Anatomy of a commando raid: The takedown of another ISIS leader
"'ISIS has lost its leader for the second time. This is of course a major setback for the group. While important, however, the international community should guard against the risk of a false sense of the strategic impact. Despite the loss of al Qurayshi, things are actually looking up for ISIS. The group was able to counter al Qaeda pressure in West Africa, integrate most of Boko Haram, establish a new affiliate in Central Africa, and increase activities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. We are still very much in the middle of the fight.' — Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project."
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.
