For Sake of Iranian People, Foreign Intervention Justified

As with many contemporary challenges, the case for foreign intervention in Iran has a clear precedent: NATO’s intervention in the former Yugoslavia against the regime of Slobodan Milošević.

Gaza’s Genocide Inversion: Setting the Record Straight

This video refutes the dire and growing accusation circulating globally—one that seeks to delegitimize Zionism, demonize Israel, and implicitly provoke hostility toward Jews both inside and outside the borders of the Jewish state–that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

The Prospects for a Democratic Transition in Venezuela

The first phase focuses on oil. Owing to sanctions, much of Venezuela’s oil production is effectively frozen. Under this plan, American companies would help rehabilitate oil production and facilitate sales, while profits would be managed in a way intended to benefit the Venezuelan population rather than fuel corruption or sustain the regime.

What Comes After Maduro Is the Real Test

On the morning of January 3, U.S. special operations forces arrested Venezuelan leader Nicolás
Maduro in a highly coordinated operation that immediately drew global attention. U.S.
authorities allege that Maduro oversaw an extensive drug-trafficking network that harmed
American interests. Critics, some quoted by The New York Times, questioned whether the scale

UAE Israel Peace 2020

Short presentation on the Israel-UAE Agreement. I argue that though the peace agreement is a byproduct of the desire to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict; nevertheless it was mainly driven by realpolitik far from the Arab-Israeli Conflict, and more specifically the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

ISRAEL AND THE UAE AND ISRAEL IDEOLOGICAL DEBATES

The ISRAEL-UA -US dramatic announcement was actually not a well-kept secret, as speculation swirled for a long while, that ”something” was cooking up.
