2024 middle east quarterly the subject of sitr or covering is far more nuanced than we have been led to believe the spectrum of opinion is far more vast tolerant and permissive than most have imagined in their wildest dreams with this morrow or ilyas abd al alim islam a prolific canadian convert to islam opens the small but also vast topic of islamic strictures on the need for women to cover up his

continue reading building a decent gaza by daniel pipes spring 2024 middle east quarterly a significant portion of palestinian people do not share the views of hamas u s president joe biden netanyahu s plan on feb 22 2024 israel s prime minister benjamin netanyahu presented his security cabinet with a short document the day after hamas his office calls it principles reflecting a broad public consensus on the goals of the war and the civil alternative to the terrorist organization s rule in the gaza strip its key passage states that the government of israel plans to work primarily with gazans to rebuild their territory secondly with friendly arab states civil affairs and responsibility for public order will be based on local actors with management experience and not identified with countries or organizations supporting terrorism or receive payments from them a de radicalization program will be promoted in all religious educational and welfare institutions in the gaza strip with as much as possible the involvement and assistance of arab countries that have experience in promoting de radicalization continue reading review of charles huber france s greatest arabian explorer by daniel pipes spring 2024 middle east quarterly huber 1847 84 tends to be overlooked in the pantheon of great european explorers of arabia several reasons help account for this obscurity he wrote in french a minor language of this topic indiscretions in his youth a lone wolf character being murdered aged 36 limited his output and because his dry style of cataloging meant in the words of christian julien robin that he sought recognition above all else as a leading geographer and explorer among his fellow professionals and had no ambitions for literary success or public admiration nonetheless as his biographer the historian facey shows huber deserves to be remembered for the documentary contributions made during his two arabian journeys between 1880 and 1884 huber s primary interest facey explains lay in mapping a region of which europe had almost no geographical conception although he had uneven relations with the french government and fellow explorers his explorations and the scientific data he collected were recognized immediately by the french geographical establishment as a major contribution to knowledge he managed this despite hostile relations with his main european partner the german julius euting for huber was possessed to an extreme degree by classic explorer s syndrome the ambition of the pioneer in unknown lands to claim firsts for himself continue reading netanyahu s bold realistic plan for the day after hamas by daniel pipes march 3 2024 wall street journal prime minister benjamin netanyahu last month presented israel s security cabinet with a short document the day after hamas its key passage states that jerusalem plans to work primarily with gazans to rebuild their territory civil affairs and responsibility for public order will be based on local actors with management experience it says and not identified with nor receiving payments from countries or organizations supporting terrorism in a step toward this program of self rule the israeli military has begun an informal pilot program of what it calls humanitarian pockets in parts of north gaza cleared of hamas these local governing bodies consist of community leaders whose duties will include distributing humanitarian aid and revising school curricula to read the rest of the article please click here to go to the wall street journal website continue reading 2023 s biggest hits at danielpipes org by daniel pipes january 16 2024 i spent most of my writing hours in 2023 working on a book so the articles declined in number from recent years traffic statistics at danielpipes org indicate that the following ten articles are my most read writings published in 2023 in ascending order gary gambill of the middle east forum kindly provided the tabulations and assisted with the summaries 10 how can israel win the palestinian conflict january 7 in a jerusalem post interview i argue that resolution of the palestinian israeli conflict requires the palestinians to lose hope this reasoning precisely contradicts the premise of the oslo accords which held that economic benefits would vest the palestinians in prosperity deradicalize them and make them true partners for peace but 30 years later palestinians retain the fantasy of eliminating the jewish state a goal that must be fought by making them abandon it not by fueling it with hope 9 violence is not the biggest palestinian threat to israel february 2 continue reading the government cannot fix universities letter to the editor by daniel pipes december 22 2023 wall street journal to the editor what sen dan sullivan found anti israel signs and symbols in the reading room of harvard s premier library is indeed shocking an antisemitic occupation of harvard s widener library bravo to him for pointing this out and condemning the university s craven morally bankrupt leadership for allowing such antics mr sullivan however offers the wrong solution to this problem when he contends that it is time for congress to save these important and once respected universities from themselves and their weak leaders harvard is a private institution government must not attempt to save it that way lies state control over everything and ultimately totalitarianism true the taxpayer funds students research and more at universities but these monies must not be weaponized to force them to do the government s bidding that way lies perdition continue reading more on israel s rapid return to disastrous policy by daniel pipes december 1 2023 in the rapid return of israel s disastrous policy i document how despite repeated calls for victory the government of israel has in many ways returned to its failed pre oct 7 ways this weblog entry continues that documentation dec 1 2023 addenda 1 the alma research education center published a report arguing that hezbollah s radwan unit is capable of carrying out an invasion of the galilee at any given moment comments 1 when added to hamas invasion on oct 7 and the regavim report cited above this means that three of israel s borders were or are in imminent danger of invasion 2 ironically the borders with police states egypt jordan syria are relatively safe 2 a new york times investigation adds information to the paragraph beginning when hamas drilled in plain sight its opening continue reading the rapid return of israel s disastrous policy by daniel pipes winter 2024 middle east quarterly judging by the way netanyahu has managed gaza in the last 13 years it is not certain that there will be a clear policy going forward tal schneider times of israel by daniel pipes everything changed in israel on oct 7 but did it understanding the mistakes that led up to the hamas massacre provides a basis to evaluate israel s long term response to that day contrary to general opinion i shall argue that the presumptions behind those mistakes remain in place and will not change unless israelis adopt a radically different attitude toward the palestinians the road to oct 7 israeli military planners coined a hebrew term conceptzia the concept in the late 1960s it held that egypt s anwar el sadat would not go to war until 1974 when his military had acquired advanced soviet fighter jets that permitted it to take on the jewish state s air force israel s agranat commission which investigated how the egyptians and syrians surprised israel in the yom kippur war of october 1973 largely blamed the conceptzia for a blindness to the preparations taking place before its very eyes the future commission inevitably analyzing israel s unpreparedness on oct 7 2023 will surely blame that surprise on a second erroneous conceptzia it held that david makovsky of the washington institute for near east policy explains continue reading review of jerusalem falls seven centuries of war and peace by daniel pipes winter 2024 middle east quarterly hosler one of a dying breed of military historians he teaches at the u s army s command and general staff college in leavenworth kansas looks at the much studied city of jerusalem through an original lens by giving as much weight to the times between wars as to the wars he finds a hopeful message from long ago times real accord between bitter religious enemies was reached in the middle ages and not just once but multiple times across centuries in diverse contexts and in the midst of near constant warfare continue reading israel has quickly reverted to its bad old policies by daniel pipes november 17 2023 washington times everything changed in israel on oct 7 except it did not despite much talk of victory by the prime minister and survey research showing the public endorses a tough new approach israeli officialdom and its security establishment show signs of reverting to their old failed policies even before the bodies have all been buried those failed policies mean primarily one thing wrongly assuming that enrichment more work permits in israel a larger fishing zone outside funding gives palestinians something to lose taming them and making them less inclined to aggress symptoms of that sad reversion include the following the security establishment approved the entry of 8 000 west bank workers to israel mostly to engage in agricultural work it did so in response to israel s agriculture minister assuring his colleagues that the workers had been vetted and posed no danger that thousands of workers from gaza had spied on israel and made themselves complicit in the oct 7 massacre seemed blithely to be forgotten continue reading why should gazans leave the middle east letter to the editor by daniel pipes november 16 2023 wall street journal to the editor danny danon and ram ben barak two israeli parliamentarians contend that the west should welcome gaza refugees nov 14 i propose amending their argument to the middle east should welcome gaza refugees hundreds of millions of people globally wish to improve their lives through emigration that is a positive impulse in itself but if the west means north america and western europe it includes about a billion people the world s total human population is about eight billion all those gazans and others wishing to emigrate cannot pile into the west also cultural and religious practices often clash continue reading hamas vs gazans by daniel pipes november 8 2023 washington times during the rif war of 1920 26 moroccan rebels inflicted a devastating defeat on spain at the battle of annual interrupted while playing a round of golf and informed of this disaster spain s king alfonso xiii reportedly shrugged his shoulders muttered the meat of chicken is cheap and resumed his game the king s response typifies dictators through history who see troops as expendable the lives of human drones matter little more can always be conscripted russia s use of wagner prison recruits in the battle of bakhmut typified this casual use of cheap manpower it hardly mattered to vladimir putin how many of his cannon fodder perished so long as the front line moved forward battlefield gains justify any loss of life then there is hamas the jihadi organization that has ruled gaza since 2007 and which became the focus on global attention after massacring around 1 400 israelis on oct 7 for fifteen years it has implemented an opposite and historically unique purpose in tormenting its subject population rather than sacrifice soldiers for battlefield gains it sacrifices civilians for public relations purposes continue reading poll has israel really changed by daniel pipes october 25 2023 washington times an apparent sea change took place in the aftermath of oct 7 2023 the day when hamas massacred an estimated 1 400 israelis the idea of israel attaining a victory over palestinians went from the margins to the mainstream from peripheral to consensual politicians and polls both support this idea israelis seem to be a transformed people but are they prime minister benjamin netanyahu made victory his constant exhortation victory will take time now we are focusing on one goal and that is to unite our forces and storm ahead to complete victory he told soldiers the entire people of israel are behind you and we will deal harsh blows to our enemies to achieve victory to victory and we will emerge victorious continue reading islamism vs the west 35 years of geopolitical
