Bassem Eid IPT, June 10, 2025 “… unlike Iran, with its regular “Death to America” chants, Qatar has never publicly positioned itself in opposition to the American-led international order.” How did Hamas do it on October 7? This time, I don’t mean to ask how they had so little humanity as to butcher over 1,200 […]
John Aziz Quillette, May 20, 2025 “Qatari organisations have made substantial investments in American universities including Georgetown, Northwestern, Texas A&M, and Cornell, all of which have established satellite campuses in Qatar.” Donald Trump’s recent visit to the Middle East has thrown a spotlight onto Qatar, an oil-rich emirate that punches above its weight in […]
David Suissa Jewish Journal, June 10, 2025 “To award Georgetown’s highest honor to someone openly praising a mass murderer is not intercultural dialogue. It’s capitulation.” A sweeping new report has cast fresh light on the growing role of foreign influence in American higher education, reporting that Georgetown University received more than $1 billion from Qatari sources […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Gatestone Institute, May 19, 2025 “Qatar has enough influence over Hamas to instruct it to release all the hostages. Qatar could have used its influence from the beginning to force Hamas to release all of them; but it did not.” As US President Donald J. Trump was being hosted in Saudi Arabia by […]

Ata Mohamed Tabriz Iran International, June 7, 2025 “Without ever testing a bomb, Tehran has altered the regional military balance, particularly with Israel.” Since the US exited from the 2015 nuclear deal, Tehran has neither raced toward a bomb nor returned to full compliance, maintaining a state of strategic suspension that might best be […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, June 4, 2025 “What All of these creative arrangements have in common is that they are focused on symbolic victories for both Trump and Khamenei without seriously getting into the essence of what most endangers Israel about Iran’s nuclear program.” On April 12, the US and Iran held their […]
Amine Ayoub Jerusalem Post, June 4, 2025 President Trump’s deadline for a deal to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program is fast approaching. Without a credible military threat, if Tehran fails to comply, the regime will confidently wait out the United States, call the president’s bluff and angle for a dangerously one-sided agreement. The odds of preventing a nuclear Iran peacefully have […]
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger The Ettinger Report, June 9, 2025 “Notwithstanding the signed JCPOA, the Ayatollah regime persisted in the development of nuclear capabilities, while bolstering its anti-US conventional and ballistic capabilities.” US negotiation vs. Iranian negotiation A self-destructive step undertaken by US negotiators has been the assumption that negotiation with the Ayatollah regime (and […]

Becket Adams National Review, June 8, 2025 “With this worldview baked into so many reporters’ brains, it’s not surprising that there’s a readiness to publish even the most outrageous claims about the war, regardless of how absurd or lacking in evidentiary support they are.” If you believed the recent claims about starving babies in Gaza […]
Zach Goldberg Tablet, June 5, 2025 “If Israel’s war in Gaza qualifies as genocide, it would constitute a striking historical outlier.” Concept creep describes the phenomenon in which morally potent terms expand beyond their original definitions into ever broader applications. As these terms become more diluted, they also become politically weaponized, shifting public perceptions, priorities, […]
