NB: This is the simplest and most incisive statement after 18 months of racist bloodshed by the IDF: “After a year and a half in which you killed 19000 children, 53,000 residents, destroyed all the universities and the hospitals, you feel there is no political win, that’s why you go crazy. Why are you sad? why are you not happy? Because there is not political win.” What will make Israeli leaders happy? How many thousands more corpses? Why do you believe in Final Solutions now? We are witness to the complete collapse of the Western establishment conceit of being a free world. DS

The Bloodied Emirates: How the UAE Fears a Free Muslim World
Abu Dhabi has waged a war against Islamic civil society and non-state actors under the pretext of fighting “terrorism” and today acts as the primary means by which the small but effective federation of seven emirates prevents the rise of independent states in the Middle East. Behind every foiled attempt to wrestle power from Arab dictators is the UAE, which has used its petrodollars and economic prowess to curtail civil society activism. Its deep alliance with Israel and its Zionist project have given the UAE an unprecedented means to act as a spoiler in the region.
Today, we explore the tentacles of this project and its impact upon the hopes of much of ordinary Arab Muslim society. Our guest today is Dr Andreas Krieg, an associate professor at the Defence Studies Department of King’s College London and a strategic risk consultant working for clients in the Middle East and beyond. He recently penned a piece which forms the backdrop of our conversation on the assertive statecraft of the UAE.
