James Dorsey

Sorry.

I want to ask you, you know, I've been talking lately with a few different people, ranging from James M. Dorsey, who... spoke highly of your work and also Dahlia Shindlin recently spoke with me.

And one thing that I keep coming back to is, is there a gap in how diaspora populations and populations, the population in Israel view what is happening? Are there things you don't think that the American Jewish community may be understanding about what is happening in Israel? Is there a gap in understanding?

I don't think so, no.

And as you know, we are the first show, 8 p.m. Eastern, every Monday.

So without further ado, as they say at the pastry shops in Paris, we want to bring back James Dorsey live.

We're speaking to him, and he is live right now.

And we don't have the cameras on this show, as you know.

It's the Iranian war.

Welcome back.

James Dorsey, professor James Dorsey.

Always a pleasure to be with you, Mike.

She says, "A fantastically informative program from the panel revealing, analyzing the incredible complexity, the interplay among participants in the Middle East post-October 7, 2023."

And Sergei wrote to us after my interview with James Dorsey, uh, who's a Middle East specialist, "The madness of the Middle East, but it gave me peace listening to the birds behind in James Dorsey's garden, thinking of him in a stone cottage enveloped by flowering grevilleas, contemplating a walk down the olive groves." [laughs]

Uh, and Anne listened to Geraldine and Latika's interview with Ravi Agrawal, of course, from Foreign Policy magazine, and he was at UNGA, the General Assembly in New York.

Latika was there as well.

to our Middle East report and we're joined by James Dorsey.

James Dorsey is award-winning scholar and journalist with a different perspective on the Middle East and a senior fellow at the School of International Studies at Singapore.

Welcome, James, to the program.

Morning, James.
