In the wake of President Barack Obama’s major speech on American policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after the Arab Spring and Binyamin Netanyahu’s frosty reception of that address, Wonking Week’s co-hosts Jessica Hilo and Tom Jacobs examine past Miller-McCune articles that shine a light on the peace process in the region.
In the second session, Idea Lobby blogger Emily Badger reviews a recent book looking at global Muslim anger at the United States. She reports that the book finds the Islamic world feels both oppressed by a powerful U.S. and betrayed by a country that hasn’t lived up to its founding rhetoric.
