I’ve spent years warning about the influence foreign money can buy in the West. Qatar’s $6.6 billion investment in American universities demands sunlight. Every dollar, every agreement, every condition — make it public.
Syria is becoming the frontline where Turkey’s regional ambitions collide with Israel’s red lines.
We’re closing out our @UNRWA Deep Dive Week with @unravelingunrwa. Children taught songs glorifying martyrdom. A “temporary” agency still operating 75 years later. Did October 7 expose decades of institutional failure?
I enjoyed sitting down with @Todd_Huizinga and @EinatWilf to discuss how @UNRWA and the “right of return” continue to shape and prolong the Arab-Israeli conflict. To hear the full conversation, I encourage you to subscribe to @RestoringWest.
A must-read: @Todd_Huizinga takes on The War of Return by @EinatWilf and @Adi_Schwartz—the book that predicted October 7—and argues that @UNRWA must be dismantled.
UN Korea aid ended after 5 years. UNRWA is approaching 80. One helped refugees rebuild; the other made refugee status permanent across generations.
Our deep dive into @UNRWA continues at @RestoringWest. @jarobinson1 examines how an agency bound by UN neutrality rules ended up teaching a curriculum that glorifies violence as “legitimate resistance.”
5.9 million “refugees” from 750,000 displaced in 1948. UNRWA hasn’t solved the refugee crisis—it has perpetuated it.
Join @RestoringWest this week as we unravel UNRWA—an agency created for one war, now sustaining refugee status four generations later. Is UNRWA solving displacement—or institutionalizing it?
