Coming soon (Sept/Oct): my book on #Jordan politics covering every topic imaginable (monarchism, state-building, autocracy, Palestine, tribalism, democracy, civil society, economic travails, foreign policy). Hardly the Hashemite Kingdom of "Boredom"... global.oup.com/academic/produ…

I write in @ForeignPolicy: Jordan's true external threat isn't Iranian missiles. It's Israeli formal annexation of the West Bank and the ethnic cleansing / population transfer that follows. To help Jordan, the US must *restrain* Israel. Stop annexation.

MERIP released its issue on campus politics & Palestine which @makrevis @lisahajjar Stephen Gasteyer and I oversaw! Incredible essays on campus surveillance, activism, & crackdowns in US, MENA, & Germany. Sobering roundtables with faculty & students on advocacy under duress.
