I write about Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Gaza, and the disarmament track for @lawfaremedia.org. I argue that a disarmament of Hamas does not necessarily equal the disarmament of Gaza: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/pale...

I sat down with Professor Jeroen Gunning to talk about Hamas today - what it is and where it operates. In this episode of The World Stage, we discuss: ▶️Hamas strategic and ideological development ▶️ Internal contradictions ▶️ The road to October 7 ▶️ and much more www.nupi.no/en/media-app...

Bilal Shalash is an exceptional researcher who has selflessly helped many scholars on Palestinian history, including myself. His arrest without charges is deeply troubling.

So grateful for the wonderful review of Road to October 7 by @abuaardvark.bsky.social and for being invited to the podcast. First time as a podcast guest, so with a pathological inability sticking to the point, I fear I am a better writer than talker. Marc did luckily do a great job as host.
