MESOP NEWS TODAYS COMMENTARY : NO SIMPLIFICATIONS, PLEASE ! – STOP CALLING THE SYRIAN CONFLICT A ‘CIVIL WAR.’ IT’S NOT.
By Hanin Ghaddar – Hanin Ghaddar is the inaugural Friedmann Visiting Fellow at The Washington Institute.
Washington Post – December 14, 2016 – In the past five years, Syria has become many things: a refugee crisis, a regional quagmire, a western nightmare, a terrorist haven, a Russian power play and the core of Iran’s ambitions. To the international community, however, it’s a civil war. The United Nations, Western governments, media and European Union all refer to the Syrian conflict this way. In December 2015, Secretary of State John F. Kerry emphasized the need to “end the nation’s civil war.” In September this year, the New York Times published a long explainer on the conflict, answering, among other questions, “What is the Syrian civil war?” Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=81112
MESOP TODAYS OPINION : Why do Turks blame the West for PKK terror? / BY MUSTAFA AKYOL (AL MONITOR)
On the night of Dec. 10, Istanbul was hit hard by a double suicide attack. The government soon said the attackers were members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the separatist group fighting Turkey for Kurdish autonomy since 1984. A little later, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) claimed the attack, but this did not make much of a difference. In Turkey, the TAK is known as the offshoot of the PKK, created to claim responsibility for radical acts of violence with which the PKK does not want to be associated.
Naturally, the attack led to a wave of anger against the PKK across Turkey. The PKK, however, was not the only target of the fury. The United States and the European Union (EU) also received blame. When crowds gathered at the crime scene to commemorate the “martyrs,” they also protested against the EU. When a delegation of consuls general in Istanbul, headed by American and European diplomats, visited ground zero to lay flowers in honor of the victims, some in the crowd gathered yelled, “The murderers are here.”
The pro-government media was more fierce. Yeni Safak ran the headline, “Heinous Attack in Besiktas Is Claimed by PKK, the Subcontractor of Europe and America.” Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=81104
MESOP NEWS “HYSTERY & MISTERY : Trump Terror within Middle East Studies
by Cinnamon Stillwell and Michael Lumish – American Thinker – December 13, 2016
Nowhere was the hysteria, panic, and fear-mongering attending Donald Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election felt more strongly than on college campuses – and Middle East studies academics were no exception.
Rather than acknowledging that justified concern over increasing terrorism in the U.S. was a strong factor, they dismissed Trump voters as angry, fearful, ignorant, “Islamophobic” white supremacists. This despite Trump’s receiving more minority votes than did Mitt Romney in 2012, and the support of the same white working-class population that twice voted for biracial President Barack Obama.

Rede von Außenminister Frank-Walter Steinmeier an der Ural Federal University Jekaterinburg – 15.08.2016
Sehr geehrter Herr Außenminister, lieber Sergej,
“Aber auch darüber hinaus, wenn endlich eine Zeit des Wiederaufbaus in Syrien kommt, dann sollten besonders Deutschland und Russland Hand in Hand arbeiten – in Palmyra, in Aleppo oder in Homs, um nur diese Beispiele zu nennen. Ich bin überzeugt: Wenn wir gemeinsam Verantwortung für das kulturelle Erbe der Menschheit in dieser Krisenregion übernehmen, dann leisten wir zugleich einen Beitrag für eine kulturelle Annäherung zwischen unseren Ländern. Von deutscher Seite haben wir in dem Projekt „Stunde Null“ unsere Kräfte hierfür gebündelt und ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Russland das Angebot der Zusammenarbeit annehmen würde!” – VOLLTEXT
