DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stephen Zunes on "U.S. Middle East Policy Under Trump: How it Will 
 Differ (and How it Won't) from Biden" (Green Sunday program)\n\n** A second 
 Trump administration will push U.S. policy in the Middle East in a very 
 dangerous direction. Already, Trump has thrown his weight behind the most 
 extremist elements in Israel while effectively renouncing international 
 legal precedence, embracing Arab dictatorships, and making the U.S. very 
 much of an outlier even among our pro-Western allies. However, the Biden 
 administration pursued many of these dangerous policies as well. As a 
 result, supporters of Palestinian rights--and proponents of human rights 
 and international law in general--must be willing to challenge the 
 leadership of both political parties in the coming months and years.\n\n** 
 Dr. Stephen Zunes is a Professor of Politics and International Studies at 
 the University of San Francisco, where he served as founding director of 
 the program in Middle Eastern Studies. Recognized as one the country’s 
 leading scholars of U.S. Middle East policy and of strategic nonviolent 
 action, Zunes has served as a senior policy analyst for Foreign Policy in 
 Focus project of the Institute for Policy Studies, an associate editor of 
 Peace Review, and a contributing editor of Tikkun. \n\nHe is also the 
 principal editor of “Nonviolent Social Movements” (1999), author of the 
 highly acclaimed “Tinderbox: U.S. Middle East Policy and the Roots of 
 Terrorism” (2003) and co-author (with Jacob Mundy) of “Western Sahara: 
 War, Nationalism and Conflict Irresolution” (second revised expanded 
 edition, 2022.)\n\nZunes was the recipient of the 2015 Dean’s Scholar 
 Award from USF’s College of Arts and Sciences and, in 2002, he won 
 recognition from the Peace and Justice Studies Association as their first 
 Peace Scholar of the Year. He is also a frequent contributor to periodicals 
 and major daily newspapers on four continents and has also served as a 
 consultant and board member for a number of peace and human rights 
 organizations in both the United States and overseas.\n\n** To receive
