The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, seeks to define and promote American interests in the Middle East and protect the Constitutional order from Middle Eastern threats. It does this in several ways. The Middle East Quarterly provides in-depth analyses. Campus Watch critiques Middle East studies in North America. Islamist Watch focuses on the lawful promotion of radical Islam. The Legal Project protects public freedom of speech in this subject area. The Washington Project monitors and seeks to influence U.S. policy in the Middle East.

In the Spotlight:

During his visit to Israel in early March, US Vice-President Joe Biden expressed outrage at the plan to construct 1600 new homes at Ramat Shlomo in Jerusalem, an area vigorously contested between ultra-Orthodox (haredi) Jews and Palestinians.
