This article focuses on the development of Qatar's unique relationship with Israel, and explains the relationship as just one component of the Emirate's intricate and bold foreign policy. This discussion identifies both the logic behind Qatar's regional policy initiatives as well as the Emirate's ability to adapt to changing regional and international circumstances. As such, this article provides an example of how a small, wealthy state like Qatar can skillfully generate a sophisticated, independent foreign policy agenda that differentiates itself from its larger and influential neighbors, while simultaneously upgrading its international profile and gaining regional prominence.

Rekhess examines the changing nature of mutual images of Arabs and Jews in Israel. The relationship between Jews and Arabs in Israel have undergone significant changes since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, in response to internal socioeconomic developments within Israel, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and armed confrontations between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

He reported at the end of October that at the University of California at Irvine, Muslims claim that their anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric is justified because Israelis and Jews are the source of all the world's ills. Had the Jews not caused so many problems, they argue, Muslims would not feel compelled to respond. Alan Dershowitz notes that the First Amendment protects "advocacy" of violence, but not "incitement" to violence. The difference is "determinative," he says, though it "is often elusive.

People were asked to rate 12 countries - Britain, Canada, China, France, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, North Korea, Russia, the USA, Venezuela - and the European Union, as having a positive or negative influence.

Britain, China, and India received more positive than negative evaluations while Russia was viewed slightly more negatively than positively. Opinions about Venezuela were evenly divided. The BBC survey gave respondents a list of 12 countries and asked whether they had a "mostly positive or mostly negative influence in the world." The country with the highest number of mostly negative responses overall is Israel (56% negative, 17% positive), followed by Iran (54% negative, 18% positive), the United States (...

Iran is also a "rogue state." True, that is essentially a subjective, U.S. definition, but, given U.S. primacy in nuclear diplomacy, it is inescapably relevant. Though never a very precise concept, a "rogue state" is likely to be an oppressive dictatorship, anti-American, religiously or nationalistically extreme, and to ally an aggressive nature with disproportionate military power that includes possession, actual or potential, of weapons of mass destruction. As a result, it poses an exceptional, continuous threat to any existing order. So, as America sees it, there could hardly be a greater menace to the Middle Eastern order than nuclear weapons in the hands of such "fanatical, irrational" rulers as President [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad], who constantly proclaims his detestation of Israel and...

America subsidizes Israel to the tune of $3 billion a year. America is Israel's principal arms supplier, enabling it to retain the technological edge over all its enemies, near and far. In the diplomatic arena too, America extends to Israel virtually unqualified support, including the use of the veto in the UN Security Council to defeat resolutions critical of Israel. America condemns Iran for its nuclear ambitions, while turning a blind eye to Israel's possession of a large arsenal of nuclear weapons. This unparalleled generosity towards a junior partner is largely the result of sentimental attachment and shared values. Israel used to present itself as an island of democracy in a sea of authoritarianism. But its own actions have shredded this image to pieces. It is now well on the way ...
