Hezbollah’s Shortsighted Strategy for the War in Gaza
This commentary argues that Hezbollah felt duty-bound to open a front in Southern Lebanon to ease Israel’s military pressure on Hamas. Hezbollah indicated that its participation in the war will continue until reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, apparently expecting the hostilities to last only for a few weeks. However, the war dragged on for months as Israel pledged to keep it going until destroying Hamas and, contrary to what Hezbolla…

The Eclipse of Arab Authoritarianism and the Challenge of Popular Sovereignty
This paper proposes that the tumultuous events associated with the Arab uprisings are unlikely to engender democracy in the foreseeable future. At best, they will probably produce unstable political orders on the basis of accommodation and ad hoc political alliances. The argument of this paper lends itself to analysis through the examination of Arabs' experience with (1) failed reforms, (2) regime defiance, (3) the gap between youth awakening and…
The Evolution of Israeli–Lebanese Relations
This essay considers the evolution of Israeli–Lebanese relations since the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine in 1948. It argues that the two countries' relations, which remained quiet until
A Reply to Bassel F. Salloukh's Review of Arabs at the Crossroads
In his review of my book Arabs at the Crossroads: Political Identity and Nationalism , the neophyte political scientist Bassel F. Salloukh attempts to instruct me on the fundamentals of research methodology. Sadly, however, his review amounts to nothing more than a brazen barrage of protestations and disapprovals. I counted about two dozen complaints and unsubstantiated criticisms in the one-and-a-half-page review, in which he summarily condemns …
Collective Palestinian frustration and suicide bombings
This study proposes that Islamic militancy, poverty, youth and personality patterns contribute to the explanation of support for Palestinian suicide bombings, as well as proneness to participate in them. Data come from a simple random sample of 342 Palestinian refugees living in southern Lebanon. The administration of the research instrument took place during the summer of 2002. The findings attest to the strength of political Islam, low income, …
Lebanese Muslim Views of September 11
This research note aimed at empirically assessing Lebanese Muslim views of the September 11 attacks. We proposed that young age and political Islam served as significant determinants of support for the attacks. Although we proposed that Sunni Muslim respondents would manifest more support for the attacks than Shi'is, we advanced that socioeconomic conditions should not affect the views of the respondents. The data came from a stratified random sa…

Islam and Terrorism
Lebanese Muslim reactions to the September 11 attacks are assessed using the hypotheses that receptiveness to dogmas of militant Islam and young age would predict approval of the attacks, and education and income, although important in explaining the domestic component of political Islam, would have no bearing on support for the September 11 terrorist attacks. In view of the recent surge of Sunni Muslim militancy, it is proposed that Sunni respon…

The new world order and the tempo of militant Islam
This paper assesses the social and political conditions that have led to the emergence of militant Islamic groups in the Arab world, especially since the 1967 Six Day War. However, the paper goes beyond the genesis of militant Islam to contest the hypothesis of state‐sponsored terrorism by investigating two aspects of support that help keep the phenomenon alive; namely, their sources of funding and weapons. In turn, these aspects of support are b…
The making of stalled national movements
This article studies the strength of ethnonationalism among Iraq's Kurds and Sudan's southerners. The primary research question concerns whether the level of political development of these two militant minority groups enables them to achieve their stated national objectives. The following five criteria are included in the analysis: land and people, origins of the problem, nature of demands, extent of political development, and environmental const…

The Labyrinth of Kurdish Selfdetermination
The Lebanese State
The objective of this paper was to test the veracity of the conventional wisdom of Lebanese Sunni perceptions which states that they perceive members of the other confessional groups negatively, avoid contact with them, and look with disfavour at the Lebanese state. The data, which were collected between November 1989 and April 1990, come from a nationwide survey that comprised 500 male Lebanese Sunnis. The findings disclose that, with the except…
The Political Values of Lebanese Maronite College Students
The objective of this article was to identify the political values of Lebanese Maronite college students. The data come from a nationwide survey that covered the entire university system in Lebanon during winter 1988. The examination focused on five exploratory variables related to the pursuit of long-term career opportunities, distinct group consciousness, intergroup relations, nationalistic tendencies, and democratic orientation. The findings p…
