Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 12, 2022 “Yet when the situation was discussed at the U.N. Security Council, the first two states that made peace with Israel—Egypt and Jordan—echoed some of the vitriolic rhetoric spewed at the Jewish state by the Palestinian Authority representative.” Which of these two things is more important when it comes to […]
Avi Issacharoff Ynet News, Aug. 11, 2022 “Gaza rulers “smell blood” in the West Bank, where the weakened PA is embroiled in corruption and internal battles over who will be Abbas’ successor.” On Tuesday morning, shortly after three Palestinians were killed in a counterterrorism operation in the West Bank city of Nablus, a Hamas spokesman […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Jerusalem Post, Aug. 13, 2022 “The Palestinian security forces stay in their headquarters when the Israeli Army enters the Palestinian areas. They don’t do anything to defend the people. In the eyes of many Palestinians, the Palestinian Authority’s role has been limited to issuing traffic tickets, carrying out some arrests and collecting […]

Bari Weiss Common Sense with Bari Weiss, Aug. 13, 2022 “If the attacks against Satanic Verses had taken place today,” he said in L’Express, “these people would not have defended me, and would have used the same arguments against me, accusing me of insulting an ethnic and cultural minority.” We live in a culture in which many of […]
Karim Sadjadpour NY Times, Aug. 12, 2022 “Like Castro, Mr. Khamenei too understands that the greater danger to his theocracy is not global isolation but global integration.” Ibn Khaldun, the 14th-century North African scholar, wrote that empires tended not to last beyond three generations. The founders of the first-generation are rough men united by hardship, […]
Graeme Wood MSN, Aug. 14, 2022 “V. S. Naipaul called Khomeini’s fatwa “a most extreme form of literary criticism”—a macabre joke that seemed at the time to come at Rushdie’s expense.” Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini died in June 1989, just months after issuing a fatwa ordering the murder of Salman Rushdie and all others involved in […]
Catherine Perez-Shakdam Jerusalem Post, Aug. 13, 2022 “Amid a storm of adulation, the supreme leader sentenced World Jewry to death, proclaiming from his pulpit that the cancer that is Israel and its people: the Jews, would be excised to the point of extinction so that the righteous ones could claim victory over the appointed enemy.” […]

Sean Mathews Middle East Eye, July 8, 2022 “In contrast to other Gulf states, Qatar is seen as more supportive of a return to the deal. Qatar shares the world’s largest natural gas field with Iran. But Qatar’s geographic position also means that it would be vulnerable to any escalation in the region, analysts […]
Barak Ravid Axios, July 20, 2022 “CENTCOM’s commitment to the region is ironclad. … This region is at the center of America’s strategic competition with Russia and China.” Integrated air and missile defense in the Middle East with Israeli participation is “a priority” for the U.S., Gen. Michael Kurilla, the head of the U.S. […]
Con Coughlin Gatestone Institute, July 29, 2022 “The concern now is that the commercial ties between the two countries will lead to closer military cooperation.” Iran’s deepening involvement in supporting the Russian war effort against Ukraine should serve as a wake up call to Western leaders that Iran’s military threat is no longer solely […]
