The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, works to define and promote American interests in the Middle East and protect the Constitutional order from Middle Eastern threats. It does this in three main ways:

• Intellectually: Through the Middle East Quarterly, staff writings, lectures and conference calls, the Forum provides context, insights, and policy recommendations.
• Operationally: The Forum exerts an active influence through its projects, including Campus Watch, Islamist Watch, the Legal Project, and the Washington Project.
• Philanthropically: The Forum distributes nearly $2 million annually through its Education Fund, helping researchers, writers, investigators, and activists around the world.

In the Spotlight:

Four Israelis were murdered on Aug 31 near the city of Hebron in the worst West Bank terror attack for more than a year. Hamas took responsibility for the attack, widely considered as an attempt to derail the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, scheduled to resume in Washington on Sep 2.
