„(…) The Middle East remains on the brink of full-scale, region-wide war, with the potential for direct U.S. involvement. The decision by Washington to place itself at the center of these conflicts is a symptom of a broader self-defeating U.S. Middle East policy.

To fix this, Trump should center U.S. Middle East policy on two chief objectives: disentanglement and deprioritization.“

»Trump will “not restrain the Israelis whatsoever,” said Howard Stoffer, a professor of international affairs at the University of New Haven.

“I think he'll keep his hands off,” he said. “Whatever the Israelis want to do, he will [support] it. He could care less about those in Michigan, other places where there are populations that support the Palestinians.”«

"I struggle to see how, even after a ceasefire, itself a distant prospect, the country can bounce back from this level of destruction – which seems to be precisely the aim of the war." - #LoubnaElAmine

„Israel's right-wing government welcomed Donald Trump's US election win. The government sees it as positive for Israeli-American relations. Trump has pledged strong support for Israel, particularly in the current Middle East conflict. Israeli settler leaders also expressed hope for a more favorable stance from the US under a Trump administration.“

Israel has formally ended a decades-old cooperation agreement with the United Nations Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA) that covered the protection, movement and diplomatic immunity of the agency in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/05/world/israel-unrwa-palestinian-un/ #worldnews #unrwa #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu

Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With #KamalaHarris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State Votes

Organizers are facilitating protest votes for people in swing states to register their dissent — without handing a victory to #DonaldTrump.

[I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for #JillStein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for #Harris. I feel much better now. :-)]

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 16 Palestinians in Gaza and residents feared new air and ground attacks were aimed at emptying areas of civilians in the enclave's north. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/05/world/israeli-strikes-gaza-north/ #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #unrwa

As Millions Starve in #Gaza, #Israel Terminates Agreement With #UNRWA

"Restricting humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering," said the U.N. agency's commissioner-general.

#PSA Regular reminder that...

#Israel has existed long enough to have families whose #immigrant ancestors have all died of old age, and most #Israelis are from the #MiddleEast, while many of the #Jews who immigrated were fleeing persecution campaigns like the #Holocaust, and don't have anywhere else to go.

They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere.

#Palestine has existed for thousands of years, the vast majority of #Palestinian families have been there for so long there is no longer a clear record of when they got there, but genetic testing has shown that the typical Palestinian is descended from #Jewish people.

They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere.

The solution to the #IsraeliPalestinianConflict is to get past the violence, and get them to live in their shared region in #peace.

Anyone who says otherwise is #racist / #antisemetic / #islamophobic, and advocating #genocide, and their input should be rejected for it.

#Anthropology in a Time of Genocide: On #Nakba and Return

"As the essays in this series go to press, a genocidal war in #Gaza continues to escalate throughout Palestine and around the region. [..] In the face of this ongoing catastrophe, this Hot Spots series contributes to continued efforts to amplify and produce multi-dimensional and layered scholarship on #Palestine in regional perspective."

Oil prices surged as OPEC+ postponed its Dec production hike, pushing Brent to $75.04 & WTI to $71.48. Weak demand from China, the world's largest oil importer, weighs on the market, with China’s Congress expected to announce up to $1.4T in stimulus. A weaker USD ahead of the U.S. elections and escalating Iran-Israel tensions add volatility, with risks to oil infrastructure in focus.

Why the #Democrats were #Israel’s perfect partners in genocide

By masking support for Israel with hollow humanitarian gestures and empathy for #Palestinians, #Biden and #Harris have diluted pressure to end the war.

Viet Thanh Nguyen on Being Canceled Over Palestine: What if those were your people in Gaza?

In this episode of #FridayNightSemites, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor Viet Thanh Nguyen, acclaimed for his book The Sympathizer (now a brilliant show on HBO Max). We discuss his experience of being canceled for speaking out for a ceasefire after October 7 and his thoughts on boycotting other artists—even those he strongly disagrees with. Viet opens up about the backlash he’s faced for standing in solidarity with Palestine, and we explore the myths, propaganda, and language shaping public perception of the Middle East.

He dives into his political differences within the Vietnamese-American community, how the U.S. treats immigrants versus refugees, and offers advice to young writers on creating political art during times of war and crisis. We also cover the broader themes of decolonization, anti-Semitism, and the colonial origins of how we talk about the Middle East. This is a no-holds-barred conversation on solidarity, history, and speaking truth to power when the stakes are high.

Whether you’re interested in the politics of Palestine, anti-colonialism, or how to navigate controversial conversations in the literary and academic world, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack these critical issues with honesty and a bit of humor—because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

Watch the full #interview now, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more conversations on the Middle East, decolonization, and beyond.

In dieser Folge sprechen Dr. Karin Kneissl und Flavio von Witzleben zunächst über die bevorstehenden Wahlen in den USA und die Frage, welche Bedeutung der Ausgang derselben für die Konflikte in der Ukraine und im Nahen Osten hat. Außerdem diskutieren die beiden die Wahlen in Georgien und den Vorwurf, dass diese von Russland beeinflusst wurden. Darüber hinaus geht es um Soldaten aus Nordkorea, die in der umkämpften Region Kursk zum Einsatz kommen sollen, wie es zahlreiche westliche Politiker behaupten. Des Weiteren wird in der neuen Folge die Lage im Nahen Osten rund um einen neuen Chef der Hisbollah sowie den anhaltenden, schweren Beschuss des Libanon thematisiert. Zum Abschluss wird noch auf die schwere Krise des VW-Konzerns sowie ein geleaktes Papier von Finanzminister Christian Lindner eingegangen.

Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday threatened Israel and the U.S. over attacks on Iran and its allies. “The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran and the Iranian nation and to the resistance front,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in video released by Iranian state media. @AssociatedPress reports: https://flip.it/Mk_GNL
