This is the official launch of crethiplethi’s web site.

CrethiPlethi.com is launched (Oct 9, 2009) as a not-for-profit online publication on Middle Eastern affairs and based in the Netherlands. CrethiPlethi.com is run and produced on a voluntary basis by an editorial team and expanding pool of contributors committed to discussing the Middle East, Israel, the Arab World, SouthWest Asia and the (Islamic) Maghreb. The site currently publishes most articles in English, but has also published in Dutch in the past.

CrethiPlethi provides an unique source of insight, background, opinion and independent analysis on the Middle East. Topics include Middle East Politics, Culture, Defense, Democracy, Diplomacy, Economy, Energy, History, Media, Religion, Security, (Islamic) Terrorism, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israeli-Palestinian Issues and much more.

In time, the areas of interest expanded into American and European social and political matters as well, which in a global world are of importance and influencing policy thinking and law makers.

We believe it’s essential to be informed beyond the headlines with facts, backgrounds and analysis on all these matters. Therefore we see it as our task to help inform the public and policymakers around the world about European and Middle East affairs. In this respect, we want to maintain a balanced point of view.

CrethiPlethi.com does not receive any funding from any government or political organization. At this moment, we are in the process of expanding our services into a legally constituted non-governmental organization (NGO). We are supported only by contributions from private individuals. All received funds are used to promote the mission of our website.
