To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

Israel’s ultra-Orthodox public and leadership were prepared for the High Court’s verdict on Tuesday. They were not surprised that the court ruled members of their community were not exempt from military service. They expected this decision, knowing which way it was heading, and some even anticipated a worse outcome. The court also ruled that the state could no longer fund ultra-Orthodox education services, a severe blow to a community reliant on such aid. But some ultra-Orthodox Jews, known in Hebrew as the Haredim, had feared the court would impose severe sanctions on students of religious seminaries, yeshivas, who refuse to…
After the recent suspension of Kuwait’s National Assembly and several articles of the constitution, it is practically impossible to forecast the future of the country’s internal affairs with any degree of confidence. Some prominent Kuwaiti figures, including former members of parliament, have hailed Emir Mishal al-Ahmed Al Sabah’s move, while others are worried about this “illiberal moment”, amid fears of democratic backsliding and a crackdown on dissent. Unlike two previous suspensions of the Kuwaiti parliament in 1976 and 1986, the latest move was a result of domestic, rather than regional, factors. The emir and government have been in conflict with…
More than two dozen licences for UK exports to Israel of weapons and components flagged by government officials as “most likely” to be used by the Israeli army in Gaza appear to have remained active since 7 October and will continue to do so. That’s one conclusion that can be drawn following British Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s remarks on Tuesday during a press conference in Washington with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the UK will not suspend arms exports to Israel. “The latest assessment leaves our position on export licenses unchanged,” Cameron told reporters. “The overall judgement is…
Men detained by Israeli forces since the start of the war are returning to Gaza with harrowing accounts of mock executions, constant beatings and humiliating mistreatmentPalestinian men detained by Israeli forces since the start of the war in Gaza have told Middle East Eye how they were physically tortured with dogs and electricity, subjected to mock executions, and held in humiliating and degrading conditions. In testimonies to MEE, one man, who was taken by Israeli forces from a school in Gaza where he had sought refuge with his family, described how he had been handcuffed, blindfolded, and detained in a…
Overseen by the military, Israeli settlers are killing Palestinians and forcing others from their land as the bloodbath continues in GazaFew cities in the world are as beautiful as Nablus, endearingly referred to as the “uncrowned queen” of Palestine. Founded by the Emperor Vespasian, two years after he destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70CE, this ancient Palestinian city of rolling hills and sandstone is filled with rich stories of antiquity. In the evenings, as the sun begins to dip and shadows lengthen, it is easy to imagine legionnaires once walking these maze-like streets. The Roman canal still flows under…
Almost all modern societies function financially through social services and infrastructure provided by the state, creating a system of dependency on the central government. These state services help create a quid pro quo of taxes and loyalty from citizens who equally rely on the role of the government in sustaining a strong economy. While this approach is the case in many modern and western societies, it has not been the case in areas that Israel has occupied since 1967. The Syrian Arab communities living in those areas remain effectively “outlawed”, in the sense that they exist outside of official laws…
