You Thought Sacrificing Gaza Would Save You—You Accepted Genocide in Silence, but Now Capitals Are Bombed and Even Your ‘Boundless Obedience’ Has Failed
Israel’s attack on Qatar, with the support of the United States, had a shocking effect in the Arab world.Even though some states, out of fear of the United States, opened their airspace to Israel, this attack, in this year marking the completion of the first quarter of the 21st century, announced that the Arab world will be driven into a terrible loneliness. The shock being experienced now is not momentary or fleeting. Because this attack demolished the security doctrines that Arab states have implemented,

Is Israel’s war in the region in America’s interest?
Israel sought to turn Hamas’s October 7 attack into an opportunity to cement absolute freedom of action across the Middle East. For the past two years, it has pursued what amounts to genocide in Gaza and an aggressive settlement drive in the West Bank to transform its occupation of Palestine into a final conquest. With U.S. sponsorship and support, Israel has updated the rules of engagement for its regional war. Now, beyond Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen, it is trying to normalize the use of hard

The Dam and Beyond: Ethiopia’s GERD Reshapes Nile Politics
Ethiopia officially inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) last Tuesday, a massive $5 billion project built on the Blue Nile, one of the river’s two main tributaries. Construction began in 2011, and GERD now stands as one of Africa’s largest hydroelectric plants—the first of many mega-projects Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government plans to pursue. At the opening ceremony, Abiy declared: “With the completion of this dam, a new chapter has begun in our nation’s history. Next comes

Is Israel Avoiding an Attack on Türkiye Out of Fear of NATO?
Qatar—home to one of America’s largest military bases—has now come under attack from U.S.-backed Israel. This incident makes it clear that security assumptions across the region will need to be completely reassessed. Hosting U.S. bases comes with a formal security cooperation agreement, meaning that an attack on Qatar should, in theory, be treated as an attack on the United States itself. Under that agreement, Washington is obligated to participate in Qatar’s defense. Yet in this latest strike,

The US set the trap, Israel pulled the trigger: A new low for Zionist treachery
Since October 7, Israel has lashed out like a rabid dog—there’s hardly a law it hasn’t broken, an agreement it hasn’t trashed, a humanitarian principle it hasn’t violated, or a war crime it hasn’t committed. And it’s as if the country is chasing some grim form of “creativity,” trying to set a new record every day. Bombing hospitals. Slaughtering children. Targeting and killing journalists one after another. Massacring medics, teachers, and students. Starving civilians to death. Then bombing or sniping

America's Department of War
The U.S. Department of Defense, with its nearly $850 billion budget, organizes the military capacity of the world’s only superpower capable of waging wars on two continents at once. Today, its budget is roughly three times that of its closest rival, China. After World War II, the Pentagon led both the superpower struggle with the Soviet Union and hot wars in Korea and Vietnam as part of the global fight against communism. With about 2.9 million uniformed troops, reservists, and civilian staff, it

Where is the US headed?
Trump came to power with the claim — and expectation — of restoring America’s greatness. He has only been in the White House for eight months, yet his short time there has already raised serious questions. The first question is whether Trump can even finish a normal presidential term at this pace. If his erratic behavior and increasingly harsh actions against his opponents continue, confidence that he will serve out his mandate weakens. And it’s not just about “being tough.” Politics doesn’t always

Back to Square One? US Puts Forward a New Offer to the SDF
These were the days when attempts were being made to establish a terrorist corridor in northern Syria. Right on our border, the terrorist groups Daesh and the PKK/YPG were active. Washington had handed over regional security policy to CENTCOM, while the State Department and U.S. intelligence agencies were barely visible. CENTCOM had even brought the YPG into the coalition as a partner, openly supporting them. This has been the single most contentious issue in Turkish-American relations in recent

Israel Emerges as a Divisive Force in the U.S.
Unconditional support for Israel in the United States is steadily losing traction among younger voters. Today, backing for Israel comes primarily from older voters within both major parties. This shift offers a glimpse into how American politics may shape its Israel policy in the future. For many young Americans, the “Israel issue” has become a hurdle they are determined to challenge. And challenge it they do. Young Democrats, in particular, are pressing pro-Israel representatives and senators vying

AIPAC Faces Tough Times Ahead!
In the United States, when people talk about the “Israel Lobby,” the first organization that comes to mind is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The goal of the “Israel Lobby” is to ensure that both parties in the U.S. Congress remain “pro-Israel.” The political heavy lifting to achieve this goal has largely been carried out by AIPAC. Ariel Sharon, one of Israel’s former prime ministers and known as the “Butcher of Beirut,” once told an American audience during a speech: “When

Hidden Israel Backers Will Be Exposed
A few days ago, something caught my eye in the Israeli press. The report said: “Israel’s Diaspora Ministry is planning to launch a campaign against Qatar and Türkiye.” Any details about what kind of campaign? None. But this is the sort of development that could end up exposing hidden pro-Israel actors. I’ll explain how in a moment. First, let’s lay out the picture. One. Israel has lost the global perception war. It’s isolated. Beyond the U.S. and a handful of countries, no one is standing with it.

Will the Idea of Unity Take Root Among Muslims Against Israel’s Genocide in Gaza?
Imperialism and brutal colonialism did not arise by chance; every fifty years they take on a new form. With the influence of the global left, colonialism adopted a democratic guise; in this era, colonialism became more sophisticated under the monopoly of media, finance, and intelligence institutions. The winners were those who built the order, the losers were those whose lands were subjected to it. In the 1970s, King Faisal bin Abdulaziz launched the oil embargo, the first systematic attempt in

The Israel Lobby on the Defensive
In my previous column, I noted that taking a clear stance against Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza has become a political litmus test for today’s Democratic Party. I also pointed out that young Democrats have launched efforts to reject election donations coming from the “American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).” Likewise, I highlighted that some lawmakers have announced they will not accept “AIPAC money” in the 2026 primaries. Figures likely to run in the 2028 presidential elections

The Alaska Summit: A New Yalta?
The Alaska Summit wrapped up. As with these kinds of meetings, what’s actually said and agreed upon never gets passed to the public in full. After several hours of talks, both leaders gave extremely limited statements. The lack of transparency leaves the mainstream press flailing, and in that vacuum, people start over-interpreting body language, ceremony details, and scraps of footage. I followed some of the live coverage—what a circus. Some journalists claimed the reception was deliberately low-key

U.S. Politics Put to the Test in Gaza
I’ve previously pointed out multiple times that unconditional support for Israel in the U.S. has caused divisions within both the Democratic and Republican parties. I highlighted that the “Israel split” in both camps is deepening. The fact that Israel’s genocide in Gaza has become undeniable and that public support for Israel in the U.S. is shifting dramatically shows that the bipartisan pro-Israel policy is no longer sustainable. The influence of the “Israel Lobby” over American politics is also

Afghanistan: Inside and Outside the Web of News
Honestly, when we first went to Afghanistan, our minds were heavily influenced by what we had previously heard. We couldn’t expect a government that had come to power just two and a half years ago in a country that hadn’t seen the light of day for half a century to have solved everything in such a short time. Yet, no one really approaches the Taliban with understanding, nor does anyone particularly care to. People are perfectly content consuming the news presented to them exactly as it is, shaped

Entering Afghanistan is easy, leaving is difficult. Is the Taliban Pashtun nationalist? How could they solve such a difficult problem?
The Taliban, who govern Afghanistan today, have behind them 48 years of experience in defending their homeland. An experience forged with great sacrifices, martyrs, veterans, strategic and tactical maneuvers, and patience and perseverance. What emotions, what ideas, or, in Ibn Khaldun’s terms, what kind of asabiyya motivated these people, who, after the Russians, made the Americans regret ever coming to Afghanistan and acted with an uncompromising sense of independence? Undoubtedly, the closer you

Red lines in Afghanistan and the issue of girls’ education
As our cars tried to weave their way through the chaotic traffic on Kabul’s streets, one thing stood out immediately: there were almost no traffic lights. Vehicles speeding head-on toward each other would somehow swerve at the last second, narrowly avoiding collisions, and then carry on as if nothing had happened. For anyone used to the order of traffic in Türkiye or Europe, this makes no sense. Yet within the chaos, there is a kind of order — and it works. That’s when we learned something new.

After 4 years in Afghanistan: Taliban’s politics of the impossible
It’s been four years since the U.S. and all its NATO partners packed up and left Afghanistan, pulling themselves out of the quagmire. If we’re counting from August 15, we could shave nine days off that. Of course, if we’re calling it a “quagmire,” that was for the occupiers. For those who enter Afghanistan through the front door, respecting the country’s ways, it’s closer to a paradise—its people, its climate, its natural beauty, the blessings God has given it. During the final exit talks, when

The Nvidia license and the US–China AI race
In recent years, the United States and China have entered into a fierce struggle for leadership of the economy of the future. Developments in the field of artificial intelligence, in particular, are advancing at a dizzying pace thanks to the vast resources the world’s major technology companies are pouring into R&D and chip development. It is certainly no coincidence that Nvidia, the producer of the chips that are the most important element for the development of artificial intelligence, has in
