In Jerusalem, I Heard My Father’s Voice

Shalom everyone, and Gmar Chatimah Tovah. I hope you are having a meaningful Yom Kippur. After months of research, revision, and close reading, my paper, “Adaptive Frames, Convergent Silences: Morocco in Israel’s English-Language Press across the Pre-Normalization, Normalization, and Post-October...

Israel Must Protect the Mecca Holy Sites

Fifth-century Yemen supplies the modern State of Israel with a vital historical precedent that Middle East analysts foolishly ignore. When the Himyarite Jewish king Abu Kariba As’ad marched to raze the Kaaba, two traveling rabbis halted the demolition by...

King Mohammed VI, Moroccan Jewry, and the Road to September 16

In the preamble of the constitution Morocco adopted in 2011, one sentence carries more weight than most diplomatic accords. The kingdom's unity, it declares, is forged by the convergence of its Arab, Islamic, Amazigh and Saharan components and enriched...

Beyond normalization: Morocco and Israel institutionalize a strategic bargain

A Moroccan hears a familiar beginning in Rosh Hashanah

An AI-generated Rosh Hashanah illustration pairs Hebrew and Arabic text with Moroccan zellige, a shofar, apples, honey, and a pomegranate.

Rosh Hashanah is a Hebrew phrase I could almost understand before anyone translated it for me. Rosh is close to the Arabic ra’s: head. Shanah sounds like sana: year. In Arabic, ra’s al-sana is the beginning of the year....

Israel Must Smash Iran’s Andean Terror Hub

On September 1, 1932, a mere eighteen policemen stood between Colombian sovereignty and subversion when forty-eight Peruvian terrorists captured the isolated Amazon port of Leticia in just fifteen minutes. Separated by 600 miles of treacherous Andes and dense jungle,...

Bennett and Liberman Must End the Palestinian Mess

Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman correctly reject diplomatic fantasy, but turning that rejection into hard-nosed architecture requires shattering the West’s favorite delusions. For decades, the archaic Israeli foreign policy establishment chased the mirage of a centralized Palestinian state, creating...

Ceuta is occupied, but Morocco’s keffiyists don’t care

Morocco’s keffiyists will march for every occupied land on earth, except their own. (AI-generated).
