Trump's Australia
Australia's best-informed commentator on US politics provides a blueprint for Australia for Trump's second term.
Leading expert and US and Australian politics insider Bruce Wolpe reveals the many ways in which Australia was damaged by Donald Trump's first presidency. Seeping into Australia from above and below, Trumpism has contaminated public debate, emboldened local political and religious extremists, diminished Australia's economy and international relations—and much more.
Wolpe predicts America's democracy won't survive a second Trump term. The implications for the world and for Australia are shocking. He explains how Australia can draw on its strengths to protect its democracy, economy and society from Trumpism, and where Australia is vulnerable and needs to build guardrails. He warns Australia might also face an existential question about ties with its most important ally.

A warning
\"On September 5, 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell essay and took the rare step of granting its writer anonymity. Described only as \"a senior official in the Trump administration,\" the author provided eyewitness insight into White House chaos, administration instability, and the people working to keep Donald Trump's reckless impulses in check. With the 2020 election on the horizon, Anonymous speaks out once again. It will surprise and challenge both Democrats and Republicans, motivate them to consider how we judge our nation's leaders, and illuminate the consequences of re-electing a commander in chief unfit for the role.\" -- From jacket.
BOOK
On the Question of Truth in the Era of Trump
Using a range of critical perspectives, On the Question of Truth in the Era of Trump closely examines notions of \"truth in crisis\" leading up to and after the election of Donald Trump. The authors explore how truth is constructed along the lines of race, social class, and gender as filtered through the self-referential characteristics of social media in particular. The authors assert that the US left has shown itself inadequate to the task of confronting right wing ideologies, which have only intensified since the 2016 election, resulting in increased mobilization of white supremacist and nationalist groups. Whether underestimating Trump by downplaying the threat of his candidacy during the primaries, trivializing the concerns of women and minorities as \"identity politics,\" or rushing to prioritize the free speech rights of the far-right, left academics and the media have found themselves unable to use their traditional arsenal of evidence, rational discourse, and appeals to diversity of viewpoints. The authors assert that political resistance to the right is not a matter of playful use of signs and symbols or discourse alone and has to be fought directly and in solidarity. At this point, it is clear that Trump and his supporters have not just deployed relativism as a form of strategy, but have fully weaponized it against their perceived enemies: women, immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ people along with educational, scientific, and journalistic institutions. It is hoped that this in-depth, critical dissection of truth in the current political reality will assist in the project of resistance. Contributors are: Faith Agostinone-Wilson, Mike Cole, Jeremy T. Godwin, Jones Irwin, Austin Pickup, Daniel Ian Rubin, and Eric C. Sheffield.

اتفاقيات أبراهام والنموذج الجديد للتطبيع
سعت الورقة البحثية إلى تحليل \"اتفاقيات أبراهام\" بوصفها نموذجًا جديدًا للتطبيع بين إسرائيل وكل من الإمارات العربية المتحدة ومملكة البحرين، مع تسليط الضوء على السياقات السياسية والإقليمية والدولية التي أسهمت في بلورة هذه الاتفاقيات. مبينةً أن هذه الاتفاقيات مثلت تحولًا جذريًا في الموقف العربي التقليدي تجاه إسرائيل، إذ انتقلت من مبدأ \"الأرض مقابل السلام\" إلى \"السلام مقابل الاقتصاد\"، وهو ما أضعف الموقف الفلسطيني وأدى إلى انقسامات إضافية في النظام العربي. كما أشارت إلى أن هذه الاتفاقيات قد تجاهلت المرجعيات الدولية والقرارات الأممية المتعلقة بالقضية الفلسطينية، وارتكزت بشكل رئيسي على المصالح الاقتصادية والأمنية المشتركة، بدعم مباشر من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. مبينة ما يترتب على هذا النموذج من مخاطر، مثل تهميش القضية الفلسطينية، وتعزيز النفوذ الإسرائيلي في المنطقة، وإضعاف الروابط القومية العربية، لتخلص في النهاية إلى أن هذه الاتفاقيات تعكس تحولًا في أولويات المنطقة نحو البراغماتية السياسية على حساب المبادئ العربية الراسخة. كُتب هذا المستخلص من قبل دار المنظومة 2025
Journal Article
American Jews and the International Arena (August 2020–July 2021): The US, Israel, and the Middle East
Israel was less prominent in American politics because of the presidential election and the coronavirus pandemic. Relations among Israeli and American Jews and the US and Israeli governments were complicated by divisions over President Donald Trump. A rare instance of consensus occurred when Trump helped mediate the Abraham Accords, which broke the long-standing opposition of some Arab states to make peace with Israel before an agreement was reached with the Palestinians. Despite the breakthrough, American Jews still voted overwhelmingly to elect Joe Biden as president. Israel was less enthusiastic, having viewed Trump as exceptionally supportive, and viewing Biden with more suspicion in part due to his desire to reverse Trump policies. Israelis’ greatest concern was Biden’s desire to return to the nuclear deal with Iran. President Biden did support Israel’s right to self-defense during the 10 days of Operation Guardian of the Walls. American Jewry was increasingly alarmed by the anti-Israel and often antisemitic positions of politicians on the far left and right. Polls also showed a drop in support for Israel and growth in support for Palestinians, especially among liberal Democrats. Meanwhile American Jews argued among themselves over the definition of antisemitism. Problems persisted on college campuses with continuing efforts to promote a boycott of Israel.
