The rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), a party rooted in Turkey’s Islamist opposition, to government in 2002 introduced new social, political, and foreign policy winds across the Turkish society. After seven years of AKP rule, the Anatolian Turks are bending over to the power of the AKP, orthopraxy and the Islamist mindset in foreign policy are taking hold… Continue reading
While the Obama Administration is fiddling over the construction of apartments in Jerusalem, the Middle East is burning. Yet these other issues don’t attract the attention—and certainly not the action—required… Continue reading
What, exactly, are the major strategic risks to Israel posed by an independent Palestine?

Ex-President Jimmy Carter has recently asked Jews for forgiveness. Carter claims that the fact that his grandson is now running for office in their home state of Georgia has nothing to do with his apology. He states that Jews only make up 2% of the county where his grandson lives – about the same percent that Jews make up in the nation at large – and so uses this as further evidence of the integrity of his intentions… Continue reading
