By: Ghassan Rubeiz / Arab America Contributing Writer The entire Middle East lives in the shadow of sectarianism. While most Arab state leaders have been trying their best to suppress (e.g. Egypt), ignore (e.g. Lebanon and Iraq), or recover from (e.g. Syria) sectarian political dynamics domestically, Israel’s current leadership has become used to weaponizing religious … Continued

Taken together, they represent a glimpse into the past, the present, and a possible future of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine Israeli Settlers A New York Times Magazine report investigates how the lawless, militant … Continued
2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the major displacement of Palestinians at the time of Israel’s founding in 1948, Al-Nakba, which the United Nations will commemorate on May 15 in New York. While Israel’s progress since 1948 as an economic and military powerhouse is remarkable, it has done so at the expense of its most vulnerable peoples, militarily occupied Palestinians. John Mason, contributing writer, reports on Al-Nakba and on a U.S. belated rush to initiate a Saudi-Israel accord that seems aimed to quell innumerable external threats against Israel.
Arab America reported optimistically about November 2020’s Biden-Harris victory. We believed that Arabs, especially Palestinians, and Muslims worldwide would have something positive to look forward to. Contributing writer John Mason renders a ‘B+’ grade for the Biden Administration’s support of Arab Americans and non-Arab Muslim-Americans. However, only a ‘D’ grade is rendered for Biden’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Realpolitik and Palestinian disillusionment with Biden’s approach portend continued faltering progress in achieving freedom and justice for Palestinians.

Bahbah / Arab America Featured Columnist History will corroborate that Israel’s new right-wing government will have a detrimental effect on the survival of the Palestinian Authority (P.A.), the peace process, and the fate of Israel’s crown jewel of diplomatic success – the Abraham Accords.

By: Bishara A. Bahbah / Arab America Featured Columnist Introduction: Palestinians, like Arab states outside the Accords, have zero or little influence over Israel. Joining this key new axis of influence would be a stunning pre-emptive strike by the Palestinians. One of President Joe Biden’s major stated goals for his trip to the Middle East … Continued
Disturbingly, President Biden is following ex-president Trump’s path. First, he is overlooking MBS’ part in the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Second, he intends to commit American soldiers’ lives to defend Gulf dictatorships. Contributing writer, John Mason, reports on these gross inconsistencies in U.S. policy towards Saudi Arabia and the Region.
Qatari diplomats are the advocates par excellence of Palestinians in international arenas, giving these diplomats an image of strong supporters of a pro-human rights foreign policy. Now they have taken the side of the Palestinians in the context of the Abraham Accords, which do very little for Palestinians either economically or in resolving the Israel Palestinian conflict. Contributing writer John Mason writes about Qatar’s principled stand.
