This week, ASSASSINS presents "This Stupid War", a series from our friends at No One Saw It Coming.

In the 1970s, there was one man that Mossad just couldn't seem to cross off its kill list: Ali Hassan Salameh.

So who was he and why was he so hard to catch?

'Operation Wrath of God' was an assassination campaign across Europe and the Middle East that cemented Mossad's reputation as a formidable opponent.

    See if y’all could collab with Ubisoft’s ‘Echoes of History’ about ASSASSIN’S creed. You guys could introduce assassin’s to them and they can introduce AC to you guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The cult of Thomas Becket the martyr
Q: Mary, what does it actually mean when we say Beckett's Shrine was one of the most popular in medieval Europe?
It signifies not only the shrine's material wealth and visual opulence but also its central role in facilitating a national and transnational devotional network, where pilgrims traveled long distances to seek healing, miracles, and spiritual intercession, reinforcing Becket's status as a martyr and saint.
“Z”: The Oscar-winning film banned in Greece
Q: Why is it that you love the movie Z?
I love this film because it gives a visual language to the memories of the military junta in Greece, and it captures the essence of those experiences for many exiled Greeks.
PRESENTS… No One Saw It Coming | The Wrong Turn That Started a World War
Q: What happens after the assassination?
The Austrians held a major meeting and decided to declare war on Serbia, using the assassination as a trigger for conflict.
An ancient mystery solved by modern science!
Q: How did scientists come to the conclusion that this screaming mummy was Prince Penteware?
Genetic analysis showed that the screaming mummy shared 50 percent of their genetic material with Ramses III, indicating they were father and son.
