Dangerous Legitimacy: The Risks of Normalizing Hamas As a Fundamentalist Terror Group In Western Discourse
No full textThis article examines the dangers of Western discourse misrepresenting and normalizing Hamas, a fundamentalist terrorist group, as a legitimate actor in regional crises and conflicts. It explores Hamas\u27 origins as a global terrorist organization, its history of armed conflict with neighbors and the broader Western world, and its ideological roots in religious fundamentalism and totalitarianism. The article argues that Hamas’ principles and actions are fundamentally incompatible with Western democratic ideals, posing a significant threat to regional and global security. It also addresses the ongoing challenges of Western washing Hamas through propaganda spread via social activism and social media. The article emphasizes the need for robust strategies to counter the normalization of such groups, including strengthening counterterrorism and counter-intelligence measures, promoting educational and awareness campaigns, and supporting moderate voices in conflict regions. By addressing these risks, the article provides a comprehensive understanding of the implications of legitimizing groups like Hamas

Book Review: \u3cem\u3ePerpetrators of Mass Atrocity: Terribly and Terrifyingly Normal?\u3c/em\u3e
No full textMatching Ends with Means: Tomorrow’s Defense Budget
No full textIn 2010, Admiral Mike Mullen, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, quipped that “the most significant threat to our national security is our debt.” At the time, many thought he was out of line with this bold but prescient statement. Currently, most analysts take for granted that drastic action is needed to fix the deep hole that spending and deficit financing have dug in the U.S. treasury. The scale of debt limits the U.S. government from sustaining key functions such as income security and health care, as well as national security. Unfortunately, at the same time, rising competitors and revanchist regimes such as China and Russia are challenging national interests in all regions. This may seem to present a straight- forward dilemma between prosperity or security, but that’s a false choice. If the security order falls apart and the Axis of Upheaval dominates Eurasia, the U.S. will have no prosperity.https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/gnsi_publications/1005/thumbnail.jp
