The Palestinian Authority’s Rage at Israel and the UAE’s Mild Reproof
Just when the bromance was going full swing between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, just after Israel held an Independence Day reception at its Embassy in Abu Dhabi, just three days after the UAE Foreign Trade Minister Dr. Thani bin Ahmed al-Zeyoudi proudly announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos that trade between […]
Saudis and UAE Won’t Lower Oil Prices Until Biden Helps Them With This Problem
New in PJ Media: America, in these halcyon days of Old Joe Biden’s foundering regime, is in free fall, and the whole world knows it.

US sends missile destroyers, fighter jets to UAE as Iran-backed Houthis continue attacks
Some key points: the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have been attacking Saudi Arabia for years, and now they’ve started to strike targets in the UAE. Iran considers the fact that the UAE has normalized relations with Israel to be a big betrayal of the Palestinian cause. Iran, as everyone should know, is a big funder […]

800 influential Islamic scholars from 120 countries to meet in order to establish that Islam is a religion of peace
If it really were a religion of peace, they wouldn’t have to hold big conferences to prove it; it would be obvious to everyone. But there is an unfortunate reality that the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies is likely to ignore: there has never been a period since the beginning of Islam that […]
UAE: Singer on trial for insulting Islam — for pointing at a mosque with her left hand
She insists that she did not intend to insult Islam. In any case, whether she did or not, she outraged Islamic sensibilities by pointing to the mosque with the wrong hand. This is the ultimate outcome of “Islamophobia” initiatives: if one determines never to insult Islam, there is virtually no end to the possible insults. […]
Abu Dhabi: Muslims won’t play Israeli anthem or show flag as Israeli judoka wins gold, so he sings “Hatikvah” on podium
Israeli judoka Tal Flicker scaled the top of the podium and received his gold medal on Thursday, but the Israel national anthem was not played and the blue-and-white flag was not raised in Abu Dhabi.
