Customer Reviews of Washington Report On Middle East Affairs
Outstanding and thorough. If you want to know what's really going on in the Middle East, read this publication religiously. Some prospective readers may not understand that this is directly care of Middle Eastern primary sources, not AP- distributed generic spin. Official government reports (namely care of the Sharon administration) will obviously be contradictory if they don't want the information to get out. Most everything else tends to report only the other side... it's about time someone started to level the playing field. One publication down, thousands to go.
Informative, but with a narrow focus and religious pandering
For those interested in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this magazine provides an exhaustive amount of information about happenings on the ground as well as among the political echelons. It is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and will be a refreshing change for those tired of the shallow, hawkish take that most American publications take regarding the conflict in particular and the Middle East in general. It has also proven invaluable of late to those who are concerned about and looking for more information on the current civil rights situation in the United States, particularly as it effects Arab and Muslim men. For those whose primary interest is in other areas and issues of the Middle East, however, this magazine falls short, with sparser current events information on areas such as North Africa and certain countries of the Gulf. This publication's greatest fault for my personal purposes is that it has taken on an increasingly religious focus, with much of the magazine taken up with reporting on and by various Muslim organizations and certain Christian organizations and their views and activities, making this publication a disappointment for those looking for secular reporting. Reporters also sometimes take an uncritical, 'see-no-evil' approach to the region. As an example, in a 2001 article, an author attempting to discredit a pro-Israeli conservative pundit who had engaged in a human rights delegation to Sudan effectively implied that the widely-reported atrocities committed by Arab northern Sudanese against non-Arab southern Sudanese, among them widespread enslavement, were unfounded and largely fabricated. Though this magazine is still a leader in providing coverage of the Middle East to its readers, it may prove a disappointment for those who are secular, leftist and looking for a sympathetic, but not uncritical viewpoint.
