Message here from a non-Jewish American. My qualification is that I am not Jewish, and so the Christian nationalists will say things around me that they won’t say around you. That was a Nazi salute. He did it twice, he means it, and it’s serious. Do not minimize: truth matters, character matters.

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless.
