The First Amendment to the US Constitution The Post is in turn a thriller, a detective story, a nostalgic hymn to the printing press and a piece of political commentary. In a nutshell, it tells the story of the battle to reveal the truth about the failure of US policy in Vietnam, which had been suppressed by successive administrations for years, by publishing government papers. The New York Times announced the existence of the so-called ‘Pentagon Papers’ but were slapped down with an injunction. The Washington Post’s editor obtains a copy of the papers, leading to the legal and ethical dilemma at the heart of the film. Its timeliness led to Steven Spielberg and his team bringing the film from idea to screen in less than a year. Spielberg read the original script in February 2017, filming started on 1 May and the film was released in January 2018.

  • Egypt–Israel–United States: Problems on the Horizon? Oded Eran
    INSS Insight No. 255, May 15, 2011 Egypt–Israel–United States: Problems on the Horizon? Oded Eran From Egypt's signing of the peace treaty with Israel in 1979 to the recent mass demonstrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, there has never been a question as to Egypt’s commitment to the agreement. In spite of difficult tests over the years, including Israel's bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor in Baghdad (1981); the invasion of Lebanon and the IDF’s continued presence there (1982-2000); two intifadas; and various operations in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza, Egypt observed most of the articles in the military part of the treaty and helped lower the heat in the Arab discourse on subjects related to Israel, especially the Israeli-Palestinian issue. The exception to this general rule was Egypt’s position on the Israeli nuclear issue. Public opinion polls conducted in Egypt since the start of the recent demonstrations have addressed the question of Egypt’s continued commitment to the peace treaty with Israel. In a telephone poll conducted among 615 respondents for the International Peace Institute (IPI) in New York, 46 percent of respondents stated that they would be "much more likely" to vote for a party that supports keeping the treaty with Israel, the Arab peace initiative, and the two-state solution. Another 17 percent said they would be "somewhat more likely" to prefer such a party. That is, 63 percent expressed willingness to support Egypt’s continued commitment to the treaty (even though it is impossible to tell from the poll whether the support is conditional, for example, on achieving a solution on the basis of two states for two peoples).1 Another poll conducted for the Pew Research Center in March-April 2011 among one thousand respondents presented more disturbing results.2 Fifty-four percent of those polled stated that Egypt should cancel the agreement, while 36 percent replied that it should maintain it.

  • The Hariri Assassination and the Making of a Usable Past for Lebanon
    LOCKED IN TIME ?: THE HARIRI ASSASSINATION AND THE MAKING OF A USABLE PAST FOR LEBANON Jonathan Herny van Melle A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2009 Committee: Dr. Sridevi Menon, Advisor Dr. Neil A. Englehart ii ABSTRACT Dr. Sridevi Menon, Advisor Why is it that on one hand Lebanon is represented as the “Switzerland of the Middle East,” a progressive and prosperous country, and its capital Beirut as the “Paris of the Middle East,” while on the other hand, Lebanon and Beirut are represented as sites of violence, danger, and state failure? Furthermore, why is it that the latter representation is currently the pervasive image of Lebanon? This thesis examines these competing images of Lebanon by focusing on Lebanon’s past and the ways in which various “pasts” have been used to explain the realities confronting Lebanon. To understand the contexts that frame the two different representations of Lebanon I analyze several key periods and events in Lebanon’s history that have contributed to these representations. I examine the ways in which the representation of Lebanon and Beirut as sites of violence have been shaped by the long period of civil war (1975-1990) whereas an alternate image of a cosmopolitan Lebanon emerges during the period of reconstruction and economic revival as well as relative peace between 1990 and 2005. In juxtaposing the civil war and the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in Beirut on February 14, 2005, I point to the resilience of Lebanon’s civil war past in shaping both Lebanese and Western memories and understandings of the Lebanese state.
