Michael Doran WSJ, Apr. 11, 2025 “If Syria became like Jordan—a buffer between hostile powers—everyone would win.” Ending Iran’s nuclear-weapons program may be President Trump’s top goal for stabilizing the Middle East, but his biggest test lies in Syria. Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former rebel who overthrew the Assad regime four months ago, presides over a weak […]
Dr. Michael Milshtein Ynet News, Apr. 13, 2025 “I have great relations with Turkey. Erdogan likes me, and I like him. If you have a problem with him, I’ll fix it.” The Israeli government continues to avoid clearly articulating its strategy in the Syrian arena. In the absence of a formal policy, observers are left […]
Jerome Drevon Foreign Affairs, Apr. 11, 2025 “,,, it does not look as if Syria is about to once again become a one-state autocracy, even if that were an outcome that Shara secretly wanted. What is emerging under Shara is a government that has elements of both authoritarian rule and more federated, decentralized organization.” In […]
Loveday Morris and Souad Mekhennet Washington Post, Apr. 12, 2025 “There is a huge stockpile in Syria that Hezbollah is trying to move out of Syria. They know where those are, and they are working with Syrian networks to get them out.” From the front seat of a black GMC truck, Maher Ziwani, the Syrian […]

EDGELORD HALLOWNESS Douglas Murray: ‘The Podcasters Have Won’: Unherd, Apr. 15, 2025 — Author Douglas Murray sits down with UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers to discuss his new book On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West.

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Apr. 14, 2025 ‘If you throw a lot of shit out there, there’s some point at which “I’m just raising questions” is not a valid thing.” You could almost feel Douglas Murray’s vexation. There he was, invited on by the weed-puffing, free-thinking king of the podcast bros, Joe Rogan, to debate prick-kicking comic […]
Ralph Leonard Unherd, Apr. 11, 2025 “The natural response is to suggest, as Murray did yesterday, that Rogan should feature more “establishment” voices to provide “balance”. But if he did this, ironically, it would likely taint his credibility among a large part of his audience, given that his appeal stems from his anti-establishment stance and […]
Lee Smith Tablet, Apr. 11, 2025 “Even the role Smith and Rogan play is an establishment category—a comic who is not just a jester, but a gimlet-eyed and idiosyncratic observer of current events celebrated for relating sardonically to his young and disaffected audience. It’s Jon Stewart, but for right-wing audiences.” Joe Rogan’s podcast yesterday featuring […]
Park MacDougald Tablet, Mar. 10, 2025 “The attacks and their aftermath exposed that Jews cannot silence their opponents but in many cases are reduced to asking for pity, which only invites more sadism.” It gives us no pleasure to report this, but we figured you should hear it from us. Jeffrey Epstein—the late New York financier—was […]
