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
of narcotics flows from other regions poses a more immediate threat, raising broader questions
about the operation’s justification.

Conquering Venezuela

After weeks of attacking Venezuelan boats that may or may not have been carrying drugs—drugs
that may or may not have been fentanyl—on vessels that may or may not have been bound for
the United States, and where the attacks may or may not have involved the killing of
shipwrecked crew members

Israel- Syria: 9 Points about the Situation

Feb 26, 2025

The fall of the Assad regime, which was the downfall of a political ideology- Ba’athism, and a minority community -the Alawis, can be somewhat connected to the overall fallout from the events of 7 October and their aftermath. Indeed, the timing of the events in Syria was greatly influenced by the smashing [though not final] defeat inflicted by Israel on Hizballah directly and indirectly on Iran. The Sunni opposition in Syria timed its final assault on the regime, which was in the making for many months, to the weakness of Iran, whose support to the Assad regime was crucial.

America, Embrace Your Inner Empire

Jan 20, 2025

As Donald Trump takes the oath of office and prepares to begin his second term as President of the United States, America stands at a pivotal crossroads in its history. The nation must decide whether to continue its post-World War II tradition of cautious global leadership under the pretense of partnership and cooperation or to openly embrace its role as the dominant force shaping the destiny of the world.

What Can the Venezuelan Opposition Learn from Syria?

Dec 19, 2024

We have recently witnessed the collapse of Syria’s decades-long, oppressive regime.
There is room for the people of Venezuela and the U.S. administration to learn something from the Syrian experience and consider applying its lessons to the Maduro regime.
Syria’s quick collapse is widely attributed to the weakness of the powers that sustained the Bashar al-Assad regime and to the well-armed and well-organized opposition forces.

If Trump Leaves Iraq, It Will Be a Gift to Iran and China

Dec 18, 2024

Now that President Donald Trump has won a second term, he has the opportunity to reorient U.S. Middle East policy from that of President Joe Biden. Out is Biden’s appeasement of Iran. In is “Maximum Pressure.” Out is demonization of Saudi Arabia. In is Trump’s partnership with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Out is the Biden administration’s passive-aggressiveness toward Israel; in are close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In Iran, Women Are the Answer

Dec 18, 2024

After the latest Iranian missile attack on Israel, a significant Israeli retaliation is a certainty. This situation is fraught with risks of escalation and widespread global impact. In the face of these dangers, Western policymakers should explore strategic approaches to drive change in the Islamic Republic.

Bloodthirstiness, Presidential Pardons, and the Quality of Mercy

Dec 18, 2024

We are surprisingly bloodthirsty people. We impose the longest prison sentences in the world. We are one of only seven countries that inflict more than ten death penalties a year, with the others hardly our demographic, developmental, or political peers (China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Somalia, and Singapore).

We believe in informed and collaborative thinking. Supporting the Center promotes independent ideas, bridges gaps, and helps develop effective policies that genuinely make a difference.
