From 'Inquisition' to 'Crucifixion': Debunking El País’s Anti-Israel Narrative on U.S. Campuses

2 weeks ago | meforum.org | Gregg Roman

I wish I could thank Ms. María Antonia Sánchez-Vallejo for illuminatingthe American public in her El Pais article on the disturbing phenomenon of “doxxing,” “inquisition,” and “crucifixion” of pro-Hamas American academics—all those colorful words she wields—if only she hadn’t found a creative way to make me and the Middle East Forum (MEF) the chief inquisitors in her Spanish auto-da-fé. But who am I to protest?

2 weeks ago | meforum.org | Gregg Roman

In the aftermath of the October 7 attack and the subsequent wave of anti-Israel protests across American college campuses and cities, many Jewish organizations and businesses have suffered significant economic losses. A forthcoming Middle East Forum economic analysis suggests these damages may exceed $1.5 billion nationwide, including property damage, business disruption, security costs, and lost revenue.
How American Aid Has Subsidized Terror

1 month ago | commentary.org | Gregg Roman

The world should shudder to discover that America's foreign aid-long intended to uplift those in need overseas-has instead nourished extremists who despise the United States. On February 26, I appeared before the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) to expose evidence of these betrayals.
America’s Hamas Talks Set a Dangerous Precedent

1 month ago | israelbehindthenews.com | Gregg Roman

The Trump administration has broken with decades of diplomatic precedent. Presidential hostage envoy Adam Boehler now sits across from Hamas representatives in Doha in a dialogue with a designated terrorist organization. Are such talks necessary, or do they represent a dangerous capitulation undermining American principles? Washington’s official stance long has been to not meet with or negotiate directly with terrorists.
The Blogs: Balanced Weakness: The Path Forward in Syria

Dec 8, 2024 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Gregg Roman

America needs a new strategic framework for Syria. Rather than backing winners, Washington must implement balanced weakness among competing forces. This approach prevents any single actor from dominating while strengthening US allies and securing vital interests. Damascus’s fall creates opportunities and risks that demand immediate strategic response. Current dynamics present unprecedented strategic opportunities.
Picking the Right Middle East Policy Makers

Nov 21, 2024 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Gregg Roman

It’s 6:00 a.m. in Washington, DC, and the texts are already rolling in. Another question about a potential appointee for Middle East policy in the next administration. This time, it’s a suggestion for someone who’s spent their career on the think-tank circuit. The sender asks, “Would they make a good deputy assistant secretary?” The urgency of the decision-making process is palpable. My first thought: Maybe, if the job is giving panel discussions.
The real weaponization of antisemitism on US campuses

Sep 26, 2024 | columbusjewishnews.com | Gregg Roman

Recent attempts to portray the fight against campus antisemitism as a form of political subterfuge are not only misleading but profoundly dangerous. A recent screed titled Weaponizing Antisemitism 101: A Back-to-School Special by Roy Eidelson, former director of the Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict at the University of Pennsylvania, epitomizes this misguided narrative.

UNRWA Is Complicit in Terror; Disband It

Aug 8, 2024 | jewishpress.com | Gregg Roman

The UN’s August 5 announcement that it fired additional employees from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for possible involvement in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks against Israel is meaningless propaganda. UNRWA has supported Palestinian terrorism for years before Oct.
