From Confusion to Kardashian: Misreading the Middle East

By Haroon Moghul

…ympathy for Palestinians. This is partly because of how we experienced the Arab Spring. The Arab Spring has had consequences for Israel, too. I’d argue that the post-Arab Spring political environment played a significant part in Israel’s decision not to launch a ground invasion of Gaza, rendering 2012 different from and far less bloody than 2008. After all, a live-tweeted, instagrammed incursion into the densely populated Gaza Strip, roughly the…

…se FedSoc publicly casts itself as a non-partisan debate club, though, the code effectively protects Neil Gorsuch’s sacred right to don a bow tie next time FedSoc conclave rolls around. This ethics code exists largely as a marketing tool for reporters willing to buy what the FedSoc Six are selling, but also as cover for the justices’ clear preferences.

“1913: Seeds of Conflict”: New Doc Explores Little-Known History of Palestine

By Shaul Magid

…pening and they knew the Ottomans had no real interest in intervening. The Arab press in Palestine lambasted the absentee Arab land owners who were selling the land to the Jews at an inflated price, but to no avail. Those landowners had mostly left before the birth of any real national consciousness among the Arabs in Palestine. The Jewish labor movement was largely the brainchild of the Second Aliyah immigrants, the first “Zionist” immigration th…

An American Muslim Abroad, Or, Things I Saw in Dubai

By Haroon Moghul

The United Arab Emirates, or UAE, is the only functioning federation in the Arab world, composed of six states that joined together in 1971 and a seventh that decided to come along a year later.

Discovering “Little Syria”—New York’s Long-Lost Arab Neighborhood

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…ips their script about “Muslim” vs. “American.” Of course, the majority of Arabs who immigrated to the United States in the Little Syria era were Christians, some trying to escape the Ottoman Empire’s new policy of mandatory conscription into the army for the sons. But public discourse since the Tea Party has sunk so low that many of those who objected to the Muslim community center actually known as Park 51 made no distinction between “Arab” and…

BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

The Arab director, Scandar Copti, has insisted on the specificity of the film’s depiction of Israeli Arabs as second-class citizens.

I expect they will stand by him in the 2024 election cycle, whether or not he receives a prison sentence as a result of the criminal indictments he currently faces. But whoever Joe Biden faces when the dust settles from the Republican primaries, Democrats will have to be ready to counter the Christian nationalist narrative of decline caused by the “godlessness” of “woke leftists” who have the audacity to believ…

…e of the aisle”—only enemies In a morning panel of the second day of NatCon 2024, a group of Republican senators hammered home a confrontational message. Sen. Jim DeMint: “There is no reasonable consensus between what we believe, and the ideology of the progressive Left. We have to beat them.” Senator Ron Johnson: “It’s not our friend on the other side of the aisle, even though I wish it would be. It’s a real battle. The radical Left and progressi…
