Beyond Islamists
Rami G. Khouri
7/5/2010
How do local or foreign governments best deal with leading Islamist groups in the Middle East and South Asia? Addressing and ultimately relieving the underlying grievances is the key to dealing with Islamist groups.


Is Obama Serious about Arab-Israeli Peace?
Patrick Seale
7/5/2010
President Barack Obama’s meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Washington on July 6 may be his last opportunity to rescue the moribund Arab-Israeli peace process.
Millennium Goals Revisited: Noble Ideas, and Feel-Good Moments
Ramzy Baroud
7/3/2010
Two conflicting sets of ideas and behaviors have emerged in the last six decades. One imposes sanctions, leads wars and destroys nations, and the other offers a helping hand, builds a school, shelters a refugee. The latter offers assistance, albeit on a relatively small scale. The former spreads devastation and destruction on a grand scale.
Shalit, For Example
Uri Avnery
6/29/2010
The thousand Palestinian prisoners (which Hamas want freed in exchange for the release of Shalit) have families - fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and children, brothers and sisters. Exactly like Gilad Shalit. They, too, cry out, demand, exert pressure. Hamas cannot ignore them.
Abusing the Living and Dead
James Zogby
6/29/2010
A Mossad agent claiming to be Michael Bodenheimer, the grandson of a German Jewish Holocaust survivor, secured a German passport which he later used to enter the UAE where he was involved in the murder of Mahmoud al Mabhouh.
America Detached from War
Tom Engelhardt
6/27/2010
While America garrisons the world, invests its wealth in its military, and fights unending, unwinnable frontier wars and skirmishes, most Americans are remarkably detached from all this. The US is racing to produce ever more advanced drones to fight our wars. In the process, we may not just be obliterating enemies, but creating them wherever our drones buzz overhead and our missiles strike.
Can Israel Make Peace With Syria?
Patrick Seale
6/26/2010
The emergence of a new geostrategic map, unfavourable to Israel, is causing General Uri Saguy and other prominent Israelis to lobby for peace with Syria, even at the cost of returning the Golan.
America's Moment of Truth in Afghanistan
Patrick Seale
6/21/2010
It would appear that the United States has a choice between acknowledging defeat, pulling out, and suffering the inevitable political humiliation, or continuing to fight an unwinnable war and bleeding further. Is there a third option? Yes -- a negotiated settlement.
America's Credibility Gap
Nadia Hijab
6/21/2010
Given its ostensible concern for human rights, why does the Obama administration not, at the very least, call for a fair trial for Ameer Makhoul and Omar Saeed and condemn Israel’s use of torture?
The Fog That Engulfs Wonderful Cities
Rami G. Khouri
6/21/2010
From speaking to politically plugged-in people and ordinary citizens in Tehran, Damascus and New York, I can confidently announce that we are all in much greater trouble than appears to be the case on the surface.
Middle East is Changing, and Ankara Knows It
Ramzy Baroud
6/17/2010
In fact, the Davos incident is significant not because it demonstrates that Israel can be criticized, but rather because it was Turkey — and not any other easily dismissible party — that dared to voice such criticism.
Trillion-Dollar War
Robert Dreyfuss
6/16/2010
The war in Afghanistan might cost the United States a trillion dollars. Now we find out that it's worth it: Afghanistan has a trillion dollars worth of mineral wealth under its soil.
