Print Jennifer Hanin Read Full Bio What Is the End-Game for Egypt? An Interview with Walid Phares - Part II "The current President is a Muslim Brotherhood leader; he will pass the constitution via referendum, then start a gradual implementation, making sure he will insure victory after victory. The Egyptian opposition is warning us what we see in Egypt is a transition from one type of dictatorship to another type." 18 Dec 2012 How Does Egypt Regain Its Once-Coveted Status? An Interview with Walid Phares - Part I "The Brotherhood’s first priority is not Egypt's healthy economy, it is Jihad and Sharia. Islamist totalitarians have never produced a successful economy along with freedoms. Look at Iran and Sudan." 17 Dec 2012 Morsi's Downfall: A Despot in Reformer's Clothing Morsi's undoing had more to do with Egyptians wanting a real democracy and less with wanting to swap a secular leader for a religious despot. No one saw the endgame the Muslim Brotherhood had in mind. No one knew it meant hijacking their country. 6 Dec 2012 An Interview with Asaf Romirowsky on the Palestinian Predicament It’s become clear we’re never going to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until we first resolve the fake refugee fiasco. I turned to noted ME scholar and director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East Asaf Romirowsky to gain his thoughts on why being a Palestinian is such a badge of honor. 3 Dec 2012 Bad Cop, Worse Cop: An Interview with Eugene Kontorovich on Israel's Ceasefire "On the other hand, we know that this ceasefire means nothing changes to these groups and that they will continue to operate. Some pundits have even claimed Netanyahu agreed to the ceasefire to boost his chances of re-election. This is ridiculous, and if anything the ceasefire hurt his chances. What this escalation means is we are back to the status quo in that Hamas can continue firing rockets into Israel." 24 Nov 2012 Ceasefire: An Interview with Daniel Pipes on Israel's Future Enough about Hamas, enough about the Al-Aqsa, and quite enough about the Palestinians already. I’m turning the tables on CNN and the BBC, and this post is unlike their 24-7 news spiel echoing the Arab point of view. 23 Nov 2012 What Obama Isn't Telling You About the Middle East The biggest issue Israel faces today is not the garden-variety Arab Spring. It also is not whether equality and democracy reign in Israel. It’s also surprisingly not the Palestinian-Israeli conflict many associate as the bone of contention of the region. The mother-of-all-issues, as I learned Monday from Dr. Andy David, Israel’s Consul General of the Pacific Northwest in an American Jewish Committee-sponsored room of pro-Israel folks from across the political aisle, is that the Arab world has shifted from a conversation of nationalism and secularism to one subjugated to Islam. In other words, welcome to the Islamic Winter. 28 Oct 2012 Taking the Pro-Israel Pulse There is no question that Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East, and it is the only Middle Eastern country which shares our foundational values of freedom and democracy. Without continued pressure on the issues identified here (and unfortunately many more), we may soon see dramatic changes in the Middle East that will irreparably harm our national defense. 19 Aug 2012 Mavi Marmara Sequel: Knife-Wielding 'Aid' Ship Goes to Court Turkey has turned its judicial system into a laughingstock by leveling baseless allegations at top Israeli officers for their response to the Turkish Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara. 27 May 2012 Say Hello to the Party of Fix America 21 Jan 2012 Previous 1 2 Next
