When a Strike Turns into a Project: Iran and the New Regional Equation
For the second time in two years, we wake up to the signs of war reaching Iran. But this time, the scene does not seem usual, the political language is not traditional, and the rhythm does not resemble previous escalation rounds. There is an indication that this goes beyond a calculated deterrent st...
Between Islamic and Jewish Religious Extremism
Since the emergence of contemporary political Islamic groups in the early twentieth century, starting with the "Muslim Brotherhood", the Arab and Islamic worlds - wherever one looks - have witnessed wars and civil conflicts sparked by these groups or forming an essential part of them. The damage cau...
Trumpian Fascism
The speeches of the American president during his second term, along with his political team of ministers, envoys, and ambassadors, build an arrogant approach towards other countries, bypassing international norms in the structure of the global system, international relations rules, and principles o...
The Psychological Foundations of Education
What prompted me to write this brief piece was something I read on the page of one of the mothers: her daughter, who is in third grade, asked her why the teachers show warmth during remote learning while they fill the classroom with yelling and anger during in-person education!!!??The second reason...
Palestinian Defensive Strategy
This is not the first time we write about the necessity of developing a national strategy instead of practicing politics in a fragmented and improvised manner, from a narrow party perspective. While some may see that it is too late to reach this strategy, we believe it is still possible and necessar...
Land of Desolation and Ruin
There is no warmth in this desolate morning, a blue sky as if it is distancing itself from the vile earth, and a soft, glaring sun as if its rays are ice needles. There are no news other than bloodshed, no children heralding life, no houses that are not threatened with demolition on the shore, no re...

After the Massacre: Can the Irish Model Repair the Palestinian Division?
After the genocidal war on Gaza, the Palestinian division is no longer a postponed political crisis; instead, it has transformed into an existential dilemma that threatens what remains of the national project. The gap between Gaza and the West Bank, and between factions and representation institutio...
Can the War of Domination and Genocide Shake American Consensus on Israel?
The war of genocide in Palestine and the dominance over the Middle East may not only redraw the maps of the region but may also open up a discussion within the United States about the legitimacy of the war and the nature of the relationship with Israel. When the world's greatest power is drawn into...
Will Arab Regimes Apologize to the People of Palestine?!
This question may seem surprising to some who believe and imagine that the Palestinian cause has ended and that its owners bear the responsibility for its conclusion, and that it has become outdated after all these collapses in the region. However, let us remind ourselves of the following to identif...
The First Strike Does Not Determine the War
Recent Israeli analyses reveal a fundamental paradox in the course of the war with Iran: while the military superiority of Israel and the United States seems clear in the early days, some strategic analysts warn that the war could turn into a long and costly confrontation if the element of time is n...
Political Fabrication in the Name of Women's Liberation
I did not intend to write about International Women's Day, but there is something that provokes writing.
Recently, Trump and Netanyahu have been frequently discussing the rights of Iranian women, sending messages to them in Persian to rise up against the regime, describing the opposition women as b...
