  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

The union began in 1958 and existed until 1961, when Syria seceded from the union. Egypt continued to be known officially as the "United Arab Republic" until 1971. The President was Gamal Abdel Nasser. During most of its existence (1958–1961) it was a member of the United Arab States, a confederation with North Yemen. The UAR adopted a flag based on the Arab Liberation Flag of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, but with two stars to represent the two parts. This continues to be the flag of Syria. In 1963, Iraq adopted a flag that was similar but with three stars, representing the hope that Iraq would join the UAR. The current flags of Egypt, Sudan, and Yemen are also based on Arab Liberation Flag of horizontal red, white, and black bands.

  • 179 1 Proper Nouns Are Not Transliterated in This Book Unless
    Notes 1 Proper nouns are not transliterated in this book unless they form part of a longer phrase or sentence in Arabic. Place names follow contemporary media usage, while personal and organisational names use either the stan- dard Egyptian spelling or, if known, the preferred spelling of the individual or body in question. Unavoidably, there are sometimes variations in the spelling of names in quoted material. 2 The ambiguous role of Nasser’s friend and rival Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer is discussed at length in later chapters. 3 On the composition of this core elite, see Hinnebusch, R. Egyptian Politics under Sadat (Cambridge University Press, 1985), pp. 15–16; Auda, G. ‘The State of Political Control: The Case of Nasser 1960–1967’, The Arab Journal of the Social Sciences, 2.1 (1987), p. 102. 4 Amin Howeidy Interview. 5 Heikal, M.

  • Rethinking the Six Day War: an Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley
    Limor Bordoley Rethinking the Six Day War: An Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley Abstract The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power in the region, while the Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors. The May crisis that preceded the war quickly spiraled out of control, leading many to believe that the war was unavoidable. In this paper, I construct three counterfactuals that consider how May and June 1967 might have unfolded differently if a particular event or person in the May crisis had been different. Ultimately, the counterfactuals show that war could have been avoided in three different ways, demonstrating that the Six Day War was certainly avoidable. In the latter half of the paper, I construct a framework to compare the effectiveness of multiple counterfactual. Thus, the objective of this paper is twofold: first, to determine whether war was unavoidable given the political climate and set of relations present in May and June 1967 and second, to create a framework with which one can compare the relative persuasiveness of multiple counterfactuals. Introduction The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power, expanding its territorial boundaries and affirming its military supremacy in the region. The Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have been a major source of contention in peace talks with the Palestinians, and has permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors.

  • The 1967 Arab-Israeli War Origins and Consequences
    The 1967 Arab-Israeli War Origins and Consequences The June 1967 War was a watershed moment in the history of the mod- ern Middle East. In six days, the Israelis defeated the Arab armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan and seized large portions of territory includ- ing the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights. With the hindsight of four decades and access to recently declassified documents, two veteran scholars of the Middle East bring together some of the most knowledgeable experts in their fields to reassess the origins of the war and its regional reverberations. Each chapter takes a different perspective from the vantage point of a different participant, those that actually took part in the war, and the world powers – the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France – that played important roles behind the scenes. Their conclusions make for sober reading. At the heart of the story was the incompetence of the Egyptian high command under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser and the rivalry between various Arab players who were deeply suspi- cious of each other’s motives. Israel, on the other side, gained a resound- ing victory for which, despite previous assessments to the contrary, there was no master plan. Wm. Roger Louis is the Kerr Professor of English History and Cul- ture at the University of Texas at Austin and Honorary Fellow of St. Antony’s College, Oxford.

  • Nasser and Egypt
    Nasser and Egypt Introduction In the 1950s the Egyptian people were suffering from corruption, chaos, and disorganization caused by the ruling class and the political parties but nobody can do anything. It was on July 23, 1952 that the army took power, and in three days exiled King Farouk, and few days later announced the republic, abolished titles, arrested most politicians, and confiscated the properties of Mohammed Ali family. The Free Officers, under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, were all in low military ranks. They chose as their leader the General Mohammed Naguib who was their senior and was critical of the corruption. After two years, Gamal Abdel Nasser took power and became the President of Egypt. The Free Officers Headed by Lieutenant Colonel Gamal Abd El Nasser chose General Mohammed Naguib as their leader Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918 –1970) was born in Alexandria, his father was a postal worker from Beni Mur in Upper Egypt. During attending secondary schools he strongly objected to the 1936 Anglo- Egyptian Treaty because it stipulated the continued presence of British military bases in the country. In fact, the Treaty stipulated that ordinary Egyptians were allowed to enter the army and it was in the same year that most of the Free Officers entered the Military College to become afterwards officers in the army. At the academy, Nasser met Abdel Hakim Amer and Anwar Al Sadat. After graduating in July 1938, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the infantry, and posted to Mankabad near Assuit in Upper Egypt. It was here that Nasser and his closest comrades, including Al Sadat and Amer, first discussed their dissatisfaction at widespread corruption in the country and their desire to topple the monarchy.

S. Miniello 2 Abstract In recent times, the issues surrounding the “67 borders” have become part of the public debate. In recent speeches, President Obama has suggested that Israel should return to pre-1967 borders with “land-swaps” in exchange for some form of peace with the Palestinians living within current Israeli territory.
