I enjoy talking about the current state of the Middle East and the many different, interconnected forces at play, whether it's Israel-Hamas; the Tehran-backed proxy forces spread throughout the region; Saudi Arabia's intriguing role as both a protector of Islam that is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause while also countenancing the prospect of peace and normalization with Israel to further its own regional ambitions.
The Middle East today or in the past; antisemitism in America and Europe; Israel-Palestine; Islamic Republic of Iran; journalism in the Middle East; reporting on sensitive topics while recognizing your own biases.
I write about politics, diplomacy and religion in Iran, Israel and the broader Middle East. My articles and commentaries have been featured in Haaretz, The New York Post, The Telegraph, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, The Forward, The Jerusalem Post, Middle East Institute, The Jewish Chronicle, Religion News Service and Jewish News Syndicate.
I've been interviewed on TV by CBN News, Fox News, Iran International, NewsNation, TalkTV and PIX11 News.
