Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, France and UAE conduct joint military exercises amid rising Turkish threat

Dec 5, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 1 Comment

In a significant move, the United Arab Emirates “is participating for the first time, along with new arrival France, in the joint Greek-Egyptian-Cypriot Medusa-10 training exercises being held Nov. 30 to Dec. 6 off the coast of Alexandria.” The presence of this alliance in the Mediterranean sends a strong message to Turkey, although “their true […]

UAE Enforces Its Own ‘Muslim Ban’

Nov 29, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 20 Comments

As is well known, the Trump Administration in 2017 banned entry to visitors from seven countries. These included Iran, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, North Korea, and Venezuela. This was promptly attacked — and has been attacked ever since — as a “Muslim ban,” an example of Trump’s cruel “Islamophobia.” The administration patiently explained that the […]

UAE Fatwa Council denounces Muslim Brotherhood as ‘terrorist group,’ urges Muslims to steer clear of it

Nov 28, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

The Muslim Brotherhood is a global entity, so the latest reaffirmation against it by the UAE  is beneficial, despite the reasons for this new declaration. Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s ruling family view the Brotherhood “as an ideological competitor and sees its promotion of political activism, including support for elections, as a direct threat to […]

UAE Official: Hamas and the PA Are ‘Corrupt’ and ‘Murderers’

Nov 18, 2020 6:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald 11 Comments

After the United Arab Emirates startled the world – and especially many in the Arab world – by announcing its normalization of relations with Israel, the country, its leaders, and the Emirati people became the target of Palestinian rage. Hysterical Palestinians accused the UAE of a great “betrayal” and of “stabbing us in the back.” […]

UAE minister defies global Islamic fury and backs Macron’s remarks on Muslims needing to integrate in West

Nov 4, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

Amid upheaval across the Muslim world over France’s Muhammad cartoons and defense of the freedom of expression, the United Arab Emirates’ minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, has come out in support of French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments about Muslim integration. Despite Gargash’s good intentions, however, the widespread backlash against Macron, with tens […]

Iran’s Khamenei: ‘Muslim nations will never accept the humiliation of compromising with the Zionist regime’

Oct 24, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 9 Comments

While Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan are normalizing relations with Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran remains determined to obliterate Israel, as the Palestinian Arabs and their allies have vowed to do since the birth of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Although the Palestinians claim to want a “two-state” solution, a […]

A Terrible Idea: Selling F-35s to Qatar

Oct 13, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 18 Comments

The F-35 is an American Stealth fighter jet, considered to be top of the line, that has been sold only to close allies, including Israel. The United Arab Emirates has long desired to buy some F-35s; it began to express this desire six years ago, and now it looks as though the sale will at […]

The Trump Peace Deals Won’t End the Jihad Against Israel, But They Help

Sep 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 14 Comments

My latest at PJ Media: At the ceremony Tuesday on the South Lawn of the White House for the signing of peace deals between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, President Trump declared: “We’re here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a […]

In Bahrain, Opposition to Normalization Unsurprisingly Greater Than In the UAE

Sep 16, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 6 Comments

While Emiratis have been enthusiastic about their government’s decision to normalize relations with Israel, and a dozen agreements to collaborate have already been announced, between Emirati and Israeli universities, research institutes, and businesses, in Bahrain the popular response has been different. The story is here. Bahraini citizens took to social media throughout the weekend to […]

Trump hails ‘dawn of a new Middle East’ as he presides over signing of UAE and Bahrain accords with Israel

Sep 15, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 21 Comments

These accords are based on pragmatic considerations, ignoring the Islamic imperative of jihad and its deeply ingrained anti-Semitism. As I have noted many, many times, what Islam teaches is one thing, and what any individual Muslim or Muslim group may do is quite another. In this case, the UAE and Bahrain have demonstrated that their […]

Bahrain Joins the ‘Circle of Peace’

Sep 13, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 13 Comments

Ever since the United Arab Emirates agreed to normalize relations with Israel, there has been excited speculation about which Arab country would be next, and how long it would take. Would it be Oman, where Prime Minister Netanyahu visited at the invitation of the late Sultan Qaboos in October 2018? Could it be Chad, whose […]

How to Compensate Israel for the Sale of F-35s to the United Arab Emirates

Sep 9, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 35 Comments

It now seems certain that the United Arab Emirates will get its wish, and the American government will sell it the advanced F-35 Stealth fighter jet it has long craved, now that the Emirates has agreed to normalize relations with Israel. But what, in that case, can be done to preserve Israel’s “qualitative military edge” […]

UAE’s Normalization of Ties with Israel a Blow to BDS

Sep 3, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement keeps trying to damage Israel’s economy, but the Start-Up Nation simply goes from strength to strength, registering new advances in high tech (including AI and cybersecurity), medicine, agriculture, solar energy, wastewater management, defense, and a dozen other fields.

Khamenei: ‘The #UAE betrayed the world of Islam, the Arab nations, the region’s countries, and #Palestine’

Sep 3, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

It should be widely understood by now that the “peace process” has all along been a delusion, and that the ultimate goal has been the destruction of Israel. Chants ringing out such as “From the River (Jordan) to the Sea (Mediterranean), Palestine will be free” reflected this goal, stating openly that Israel must be obliterated. […]
