		<description><![CDATA[When news comes of Muslims engaging in violence, the triad of politicians, law enforcement, and media invariably presumes that the perpetrator suffers from some mental or emotional incapacity. (For a quick listing of examples, see my collection at &#8220;Sudden Jihad or &#8216;Inordinate Stress&#8217; at Ft. Hood?&#8221;).
Instead, I argue, they should begin with a presumption of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost unnoticed, Binyamin Netanyahu won a major victory last week when Barack Obama backed down on a signature policy initiative. This about-face suggests that U.S.-Israel relations are no longer headed for the disaster I have been fearing.
 
Four months ago, the new U.S. administration unveiled a policy that suddenly placed great emphasis on stopping the growth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I dubbed the Obama administration&#8217;s &#8220;rapid and harsh turn against Israel&#8221; has had three quick, predictable, and counter-productive results. These point to further difficulties ahead.
First result: Barack Obama&#8217;s decision to get tough with Israel translates into escalating Palestinian demands on Israel. In early July, Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas and Saeb Erekat, his top [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does terrorism work, meaning, does it achieve its perpetrators&#8217; objectives?
With terror attacks having become a routine and nearly daily occurrence, especially in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the conventional wisdom holds that terrorism works very well. For example, the late Ehud Sprinzak of the Hebrew University ascribed the prevalence of suicide terrorism to its &#8220;gruesome effectiveness.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Avigdor Lieberman became foreign minister of Israel yesterday. He celebrated his inauguration with a maiden speech that news reports indicate left his listeners grimacing, squirming, and aghast. The BBC, for example, informs us that his words prompted &#8220;his predecessor Tzipi Livni to interrupt and diplomats to shift uncomfortably.&#8221;
Â 
Too bad for them â€“ the speech leaves [...]]]></description>

Under the leadership of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai (one of seven polities within the United Arab Emirates) invited peoples [...]]]></description>

(1) A contradictory record: His background brims over with wild-eyed anti-Zionist radicals such as Ali Abunimah, Rashid Khalidi, and Edward Said, with Islamists, the Nation [...]]]></description>

These arguments prompted an earful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas brings up the old quandary: What to do about the Palestinians? Western states, including Israel, need to set goals to figure out their policy toward the West Bank and Gaza.
Let&#8217;s first review what we know does not and cannot work:
Israeli control. Neither side wishes to continue the situation that began in [...]]]></description>
