With 2021 coming to an end, we offer an update on one activity of two Middle East Forum projects. The Washington Project has actively participated in an effective anti-Erdoğan coalition of Kurds, Armenians, Hindus, and Greeks.

Israel’s coalition government initially rejected Netanyahu’s public denunciation of the JCPOA and continuing nuclear negotiations with Tehran. But lately, the PM and FM have changed gears and adopted a more confrontational approach. Why and what does this portend?

Islamists and their allies pump out groaning shelves of books on an alleged “Islamophobia Industry” that persecutes Muslims. In fact, the “Islamophilia Industry” has come to dominate the academy to the point that scholars widely feel compelled to adopt a submissive, uncritical, dhimmi-like approach to all things Islamic. How did this come to be, what are its manifestations and goals, and where is it heading?

Pro-BDS professors claim they leave their politics at the classroom door. But new research refutes such claims, exposing their how their classrooms turn into anti-Israel bastions worse than the critics feared. For example, 78 percent of assigned course readings were authored by fellow BDS-supporters. Which disciplines are the worst? What other disturbing facts are now known? What can be done?

Some politicians have proclaimed that the budget having passed signifies the end of the Bibi era. Is this true? What next?
