On Separation: Reproduction in Migra-Political Times
The Fourth Annual ReproSoc Lecture | Professor Charis Thompson
1st November 2018 | 5:00pm | The Pitt Building, Cambridge
In this talk, Charis Thompson presented her recent work advocating the addition of a migrapolitical lens to biopolitical and necropolitical ways of understanding the differential valuing of contemporary human life. With reference to her own concept of selective pronatalism, and in conversation with other bio- and necropolitical work on stratified reproduction, reproductive justice, selecting societies, and queer reproductions, Thompson argues for the importance of considering migration as foundational, with birth and death, to a new sociology of reproduction. To illustrate, she does a close reading of the concept of 'separation' as a kinship and family term, and argues that its current political salience in regard to migration can help us understand and potentially influence the role that migrapolitics play more generally in kinship and reproduction.

The aim of this presentation is to show an overview of the risk perceptions related to AI and how they turned to be so.
Vessel - Film Screening on Abortion Activism
Murray Edwards College, Cambridge
Vessel is a documentary film by Diana Whitten about the work of Women on Waves, a Dutch pro-choice organisation founded by the physician Dr Rebecca Gomperts.
The film focuses on the work of Women on Waves and follows Gomperts as she sails a ship around the world and provides abortions at sea for women who have no legal alternative. Through years of successes and setbacks, we witness her create an underground network of emboldened, informed activists who trust women to handle abortion themselves.
We will be joined by Gomperts, who will give a presentation prior to the screening about abortion politics today, including a reflection on the recent referendum in Ireland. There will be a Q&A afterwards.

There will be drinks and nibbles.
Free screening. Suggested donation £5 for Women on Waves.
Remaking Reproduction: The Global Politics of Reproductive Technologies
27-29th June 2018
The rapid global growth of the fertility industry is one of the most significant contexts of contemporary social change, and these changes are the subject of an increasing amount of social research. This conference is designed both to consolidate core themes in the social study of reproductive technologies and to showcase new research, especially by early career scholars and doctoral students. Our core themes are designed to bring together old and new approaches to the study of reproduction, technology and society at a time when the politics of reproduction globally are changing rapidly.
Throughout the conference, we will be running concurrent panels where you will have a chance to respond to the conference themes and share your research on reproduction. The paper panels will be divided across six themed streams: Race, Nation and Reproduction; Reproductive Bodies and Cultures; Changing In/Fertilities; Making New Biologies; Reproductive Futures; and Mediated Reproduction. Please consider which stream(s) your paper might fit best with when submitting your abstract.

The Political Economy of the Kurds of Turkey. From the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic
17th May 2018 | 5-7pm | Mill Lane Lecture Theatre Room 1
Please join us for a presentation and discussion of Veli Yadirgi's timely new book, The Political Economy of the Kurds of Turkey. Yadirgi analyses the socioeconomic and political structures and transformations of the Kurdish people from the Ottoman era through to the modern Turkish Republic, arguing that there is a symbiotic relationship between the Kurdish question and the de-development of the predominantly Kurdish domains, making an ideal read for historians of the region and those studying the socio-political and economic evolution of the Kurds. First outlining theoretical perspectives on Kurdish identity, socioeconomic development and the Kurdish question, Yadirgi then explores the social, economic and political origins of Ottoman Kurdistan following its annexation by the Ottomans in 1514. Finally, he deals with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and the subsequent foundation and evolution of the Kurdish question in the new Turkish Republic.
Veli Yadirgi holds a B.A. in Philosophy (King's College, London), an MSc. in Global Politics (LSE), and a PhD (SOAS), and has worked as a political correspondent and editor in different media companies in Europe. His doctoral dissertation was entitled 'The Political Economy of the Kurdish Question in Turkey: De-development in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia'. His expertise and research interests include: Political, Economic and Social History of Turkey and the Middle East with special reference to the Kurdish Question in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria; Politics and Development Economics of the Countries of the Middle East; Social Change; and Social Theory. Veli is a member of the London Middle East Institute, the Centre for Ottoman Studies and Neoliberalism, Globalisation and States (all at SOAS). His most recent publication is The Political Economy of the Kurds of Turkey: From the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic. (Cambridge University Press, 2017).
White Bound: Nationalists, Antiracists, and the Shared Meanings of Race
14th May 2018 | 5pm | Room 1 Mill Lane Lecture Rooms
Discussions of race are inevitably fraught with tension, both in opinion and positioning. Too frequently, debates are framed as clear points of opposition—us versus them. And when considering white racial identity, a split between progressive movements and a neoconservative backlash is all too frequently assumed. Taken at face value, it would seem that whites are splintering into antagonistic groups, with differing worldviews, values, and ideological stances.
White Bound investigates these dividing lines, questioning the very notion of a fracturing whiteness, and in so doing offers a unique view of white racial identity.
Dr. Matthew Hughey (Associate Professor, University of Connecticut) spent over a year attending the meetings, reading the literature, and interviewing members of two white organizations—a white nationalist group and a white antiracist group. Though he found immediate political differences, he observed surprising similarities related to how both groups make meaning of race and whiteness. His talk will examine these similarities to illuminate not just the many ways of being white, but how these actors make meaning of whiteness in ways that collectively reproduce both white identity and, ultimately, white supremacy.
"Foreign Girls Come to London": Residency, Travel and Abortion Access, 1960-1975 - Professor Christabelle Sethna
11th May 2018 | 12:30 - 2pm | Room E, 17 Mill Lane, Cambridge
Travel is one of the central barriers to abortion access; the further a woman has to travel for an abortion, the less likely she is to obtain one and the more likely she is to be young and underprivileged. Yet, this kind of travel persists. Often conducted over long range and across domestic and international borders, "abortion tourism" remains a commonplace transnational phenomenon. Today, the case of Irish women who travel to the UK to access legal abortion services is familiar to many. However, travel for abortion services has a much longer history.
This presentation is based on Christabelle Sethna's research, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, which tracks women's domestic and international travel for abortion services. It focuses on the complex transnational geopolitical and biopolitical issues raised once women began to travel to Britian for abortion services after the passage of the 1967 Abortion Act, a piece of legislation that did not include residency qualifications. The presentation explores the reasons why non-national women travelled to Britain, and to London in particular, for legal abortions in the 1960s and 1970s and discusses the transgressive relationships that exist between the crossing of sexual, legal and geographical borders. The presentation also opens up for timely consideration the fraught meanings of residency and travel across borders in the UK.
Dr. Christabelle Sethna is Professor in the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa. She is a historian who researches the history of sex education, contraception and abortion as well as animal representations. Her latest book, co-authored with Steve Hewitt, is Just Watch Us: RCMP Surveillance of the Women's Liberation Movement in Cold War Canada (McGill-Queen's University Press 2018).
Re-mediating 'the Human': Intuition, Digital Culture and New Social Movements
3rd May 2018 | 4.30-6pm | Mill Lane Lecture Room 1
With the rise of new digital and smart technologies, 'the human' itself is being radically re-mediated. For some, this is problematic: digitally colonized by global capitalism at the level of affect, gesture and habit, it is argued, we are now locked into cycles of mindless consumption and thus increasingly politically disaffected. There are also, however, more hopeful visions of these new digital modes of personhood: Michel Serres (2015), for example, argues that, in delegating habits of mental synthesizing and processing to digital technologies, millennials have cleared cognitive space for the development of a more 'intuitive' mode of being-in-the-world. A key term in continental philosophy, as well as contemporary theories of affect, habit and media ecologies, intuition offers a form of sensorial engagement with 'the pre-emergent' or that which is in process. While there is no necessary link between intuition and progressive social change, this paper explores the significant resonances between the 'intuitive digital subjects' that Serres imagines and the logics and sensibilities of new social movements such as Occupy and Black Lives Matter. Vitally enabled by digital technologies and forms of technè, these activisms, I argue, practice 'pre-figurative politics': they combine a tendency to oppose exploitation and oppression with a capacity to sense change as it is happening and thus remain radically open to alternative futures.

Confrontation? Doing Feminist and Anti-Racist Work in Institutions, A Panel Discussion
1st May 2018 | 4-6pm | Lecture Theatre 1 (Room 1), Mill Lane Lecture Theatres
How can we confront institutions about their role in perpetuating violence and work to make institutions more open and inclusive spaces?
In this panel we explore some of the paradoxes and difficulties of doing feminist and anti-racist work within institutions. Even when institutions claim to be committed to equality they are often deeply unequal and hierarchical spaces. A feminist and anti-racist project is to transform the institutions in which we work. The aim of transforming institutions is still however an institutional project: we often have to work through the structures we seek to dismantle. When our political work is resourced or supported by an institution does it become more difficult to confront the institution? Does following procedures or working in house constrain the kinds of work we can do? If for strategic reasons we try to avoid confrontation what else are we avoiding? And how and why are some of us perceived as being confrontational however we are doing the work?
The panel will be a chance to talk from as well as about our experiences of doing feminist and anti-racist work. We will consider who does (and does not) do the work of trying to transform institutions and how these distributions of labour can reproduce inequalities. We will discuss the costs of doing (and not doing) this labour and reflect on how institutions can exhaust us and wear us out. The panel will open up a discussion of how we can confront problems of institutional racism, institutional sexism (including sexual harassment and sexual misconduct) as well as institutional bullying.

Science as Affective, Embodied and Material Relations
Mianna Meskus
21st February 2018 | 12:30 - 2pm
Seminar Room, Department of Sociology, Free School Lane, Cambridge
This talk addresses "scientific craftwork" in the use of human biological material for the benefit of biomedicine, innovation and patients' health. A revolutionary cellular reprogramming technique has made it possible to turn human skin and blood cells into pluripotent stem cells, thus providing an unprecedented opportunity to study the pathophysiology of diseases, understand human developmental biology, and generate new therapies. Using the so called iPS cell technology as a point of entry, I examine how the foundations of biomedical knowledge production lie in embodied skill and affective engagement with cellular research material. Combining relational materialism and pragmatist philosophy of experience, I develop the idea of an instrumentality-care continuum as a core dynamic of biomedical craft, involving both researchers and patients as tissue donors. This continuum opens up a novel perspective to the commercialization and industrial-scale appropriation of human biology, and thereby to the future of ethical biomedical research.

Campuses confront race issues
Black student leaders disapprove of way UA rally was portrayed in headline
The Black Students United rally was held on Monday, Nov. 16, outside of the Union.
Grant Morgan
By Grant Morgan, Managing Editor
Last week, The Buchtelite published a story about UA Black Students United's rally in support of the protesters' cause at the University of Missouri (Mizzou), held on Nov. 16 outside of the Student Union entrance doors near Starbucks.
'We Will Be Heard and Understood'
'F*ck racism,' they chanted
The rally story appeared on the top of the front page of The Buchtelite's Nov. 17 issue, under the headline of "F*ck racism, they chanted," with a headline deck of "More than 120 gather in support of University of Missouri students."
Some found fault with such a headline, including the rally's organizer Angel Poole, who is also the president of Black Students United. Her guest column appears on page A2, and represents the opinions of those who disagreed with the way the rally's headline was written.
After hearing grievances from other black student leaders, The Buchtelite invited Poole, Christian Howse, and Darnell Davis into the office to express their concerns. Howse is an Undergraduate Student Government senator and chief executive officer of of The Black Excellence Commission at UA. Davis is one of UA's non-voting student trustees.
They found the article itself to be an adequate representation of the rally, but not its headline, saying it misrepresented the rally's meaning, spirit, and mood.
Some days later, Poole also gave her more general thoughts on the way that black people and racial events are portrayed in media, saying that there is often a disconnect between what people perceive black movements to be, and what they really are.
"The media sometimes does a great job and sometimes it just misinterprets the whole entire message," Poole said, "especially when it comes down to the Black Lives Matter movement and the black movements in general."
Poole also gave her thoughts on why this might be the case, referencing a historically omnipresent stereotype against black people.
"Blacks were always put into this category of being angry and unsatisfied and ready to fight, almost," Poole said. "So I think historically we have this stereotype of being negative and angry, which is false. A lot of these movements — a lot of the stereotypes about [them] were completely off and completely wrong and went against what the movements were doing."
Rallies, protests, and demonstrations regarding racial issues have been breaking out all over the country recently, most conspicuously at Mizzou and Yale University.
Mizzou's Chancellor Richard Loftin and President Tim Wolfe resigned as a result of their perceived lack of response after a series of racist incidents on campus. Exhorting their removal was Mizzou senior Jonathan Butler, who refused to eat until Wolfe stepped down.
Soon after Butler announced his hunger strike — and set up a tent in the middle of Mizzou's central campus quad — the football team backed him with support of its coach, refusing to play another game until the president resigned.
The University's Board of Curators subsequently named Mike Middleton, the third black student to ever graduate from Mizzou's law school, as interim president. Chancellor Loftin stepped down to a research position.
A different sequence of events played out at Yale, beginning with an administrative email sent to students before Halloween urging them to be cautious with their costumes, and to avoid basing them on race or ethnicity so as not to offend.
Erika Christakis, an associate master of one of Yale's residential colleges, sent an email to students in response, advising them to dress how they want, and not lay undue stress on being inoffensive.
In consequence, many students were angry at Christakis, her husband Nicholas Christakis — master of the same residential college — and other administrators, whom students perceived as making Yale inhospitable to students of varying races by failing to address and rectify racial tensions. This led to many protests and demonstrations.
Yale President Peter Salovey responded by creating a plan to increase inclusivity: a new multicultural academic center, more resources for Yale's current multicultural centers, and more training for administrators to combat racism.
'We Will Be Heard and Understood'
As a student leader on campus of Black Students United (BSU), I feel it is my obligation to help provide a social, educational, and a cultural setting...

I purchased a property through Instant Access 3 years ago. It was Off Plan. The builder is San Jose. We have visited the site 3 times staying in an earlier phase. Each time we go we check the prices at the Sales site. Each time they are about 10k euros lower. We have seen similar properties selling for 40k euros less than the 209k euros we agreed to pay. We have now decided to pull out even though we have exchanged.
The contract with San Jose says we are liable up to 20% of the sales value.
Are there any legal precedents on this?
Sorry to hear of your situation, if you don't mind me asking which one of there sites is it that you are reffering to.
The site is Playa Golf 3 in DeHese De Campoamor.


Did you know that more Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes?
Did you know that more Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes? The abuse of prescription painkillers and the easy availability of heroin are wreaking havoc on law enforcement and our families here in Pennsylvania - and we're all paying the price.
Pennsylvania now leads the nation in drug overdose deaths among young adult males and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that heroin use increased 63 percent in the last decade with approximately 80 percent of heroin addicts tracing their addiction back to prescription painkillers.
As a former state and federal prosecutor I know from experience that we need a new strategy, new tactics, and in Pennsylvania, a new Attorney General to effectively combating this epidemic currently ravaging families and communities throughout our Commonwealth.
We must solve this problem together.
- Close the gateway to heroin by more closely monitoring the dispensing of powerful prescription painkillers and prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who sell or fill "scripts for cash."
My plan will help keep our families safer and ultimately save taxpayers money by removing high-level drug dealers while reforming low-level drug dealers through community intervention.
This plan will pay for itself by reducing repeat offenses and the high taxpayer costs associated with those repeat offenses.
Law enforcement cannot solve the problem of drug abuse; we cannot arrest away the demand for these drugs that has only grown since the advent of the "War on Drugs." Only by combining smart law enforcement strategies to stem the supply of illegal drugs with effective programs to treat the disease of addiction will we be able to truly combat this crisis.

Q: ActiveMQ, how can i create only one consumer? I'm working with Java EE and ActiveMQ. I want to realize a JMS Queue where I can send messages to my QUEUE and a Consumer + MessageListener should read this messages.
The Code for my Consumer ist the following:
private void initializeActiveMq() throws JMSException {
            // Create a ConnectionFactory
            ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory(brokerUrl);
            // Create a Connection
             connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
             connection.start();
            // Create a Session
            session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

            // Create the destination (Queue)
            Queue queue = session.createQueue(queueName);
             // Create a MessageConsumer from the Session to the Queue
             consumer = session.createConsumer(queue);

             consumer.setMessageListener(this);

    }

But the problem is, every time i will run this code it ads a new consumer to my queue, and then i have some strange behavior the consumers did then not deliver the messages correctly. If i have only one consumer it works perfect.
So how can I make sure that I have only one consumer in my queue?

A: I've experienced the exact same issue. You need to make sure that your war has a concept of a graceful shutdown procedure when undeployed.
You can achieve this by having a HTTP Servlet that implements init (do all your initialisation here) and destroy (do all you clearing down here). Destory() will get get called by the JVM when the war is undeployed.
I use Spring to define all my beans, ActiveMQ connections, message consumers and producers. My init() loads the Spring application context from a master xml file, caches a reference to it locally, then the destory() calls close() on the application context.

Over 50 new international students met with Birkbeck alumni at the International Alumni Friendship Scheme reception on Friday 4 October.
Birkbeck offers a buddy scheme for new international students whereby they can meet with successful alumni who can offer invaluable advice to the new cohort. Starting university can be a daunting challenge for anyone. Starting a university in a foreign country, however, poses many other difficult challenges that can seem overwhelming at first. Many of the international students who attended the reception have been in the UK for less than a fortnight, making the pairing up of students with Birkbeck alumni vital in enabling the new international cohort to settle into their new life in London.
Students asked a wide variety of questions to Birkbeck alumni – anything from general course enquiries and advice about future careers to what actually is an Oyster Card! The evening is only the start of these new friendships; alumni and students will continue to meet up over the coming months to help students settle into Birkbeck and London life.
This post was contributed by Lynette Spencer, an alumna of Birkbeck's BA French Studies (2001) and MA Modern French Studies (2003).
It was a memorable evening at the Alumni event 'Mrs Birkbeck's Album' held on 17th May in the beautifully restored Keynes Library at 43, Gordon Square.
The first part of the presentation by Patrizia di Bello consisted of a fascinating insight into the background, culture and history associated with the contents of the album. Inside are manuscripts, poems, songs, pictures and paintings by famous people of the period. Having such entries was considered prestigious and also formed a part of the social interaction at that time.
The second part by Philip Payne, Director of the Library and Media Services, explained the process of digitization of the album (prior to the restoration) which can now be read on-line, with the facility to turn the pages as if reading a book.
Finally, we were given an in-depth account by Angela Craft (Conservator in Special Collections Team at Senate House) of the restoration of the album, the decisions that needed to be negotiated and made, the materials to be used, all of which involved a delicate balancing act.
One of the highlights of the evening was to personally experience the original album and other items, being able to view and read the contents on display at the event.
The presenters and the Alumni staff organised a most original as well as enlightening event where alumni members were also thanked for contributing towards the restoration through their library membership fees. I must say, in may ways I prefer this more creative form of 'blog' to its present day counterpart!

Roots of Current Gulf Crisis Go Back to Arab Upheavals of 2011
The trigger of the current crisis was ostensibly a recent speech by Qatar's emir, but geopolitics sheds more light.
Dilip Hiro
Long-simmering tensions between Saudi and Qatari rulers have burst like a thunderclap. The Saudis and two Gulf allies suddenly moved to severe diplomatic ties by withdrawing diplomats, also cutting off land, sea and air access to Qatar, and blocking Qatari websites and broadcasts.
Though the trigger for this crisis was reports of a speech by Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on May 22, its roots lie in the Arab Spring upheavals of 2011 and aftermath. Unlike his fellow Gulf monarchs, Tamim's father, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani backed the popular uprisings, angering King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi dynasty, administering 2 million square kilometers of the Arabian Peninsula, could not tolerate a puny sheikhdom pursuing a foreign policy opposed to its own. Its latest dramatic step, orchestrated with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, is designed to bring Qatar in line with the Big Brother of the Gulf.
The state-run Qatar News Agency's report of the speech delivered by Emir Tamim in Doha was instantly noted by the media in the region. As summarised by Saudi-owned, Dubai-based Al Arabiya TV channel, the Qatari ruler endorsed the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah, noted that US President Donald Trump's rule will not last long, adding "There is no wisdom in harbouring hostility towards Iran."
Within hours, condemnation poured in from social and traditional media outlets in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain. Qatar's repeated explanations that its news agency had been hacked, that its emir made no such statements, were ignored. To prove its case, the Qatari government could have distributed the verbatim transcript of the ruler's address, but did not.
In Washington, Trump tried to take credit for the blockade, tweeting, "They [Saudis] said they would take hard line on funding extremism and all reference was pointing to Qatar." By contrast, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense Gen. James Mattis called for calm, offering to help defuse the crisis. After all, Qatar has hosted the Pentagon's regional headquarters at Al Udeid Air Base since 2002, housing 10,000 troops and used to bomb Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria.
It's crucial to consider the context of Tamim's speech. He had a cordial meeting with Trump in Riyadh on May 21 and during photos, Trump said that it was "an honor" to be with him, referring to Qatar's plans to buy "some beautiful US military equipment". Two days later the emir addressed 650 National Service military graduates in Doha, an appropriate occasion to discuss military affairs. Therefore he may have referred to the US-Saudi military cooperation agreement and Trump urging Gulf States to build an alliance against Iran, described by the emir as an "Islamic power."
Those spewing anti-Qatar rhetoric overlook that both the House of Saud and the Al Thani dynasty belong to the ultra-conservative Wahhabi subsect within Sunni Islam, the difference that Wahhabi preachers do not regulate Qatar's social life. It's also worth noting that Qatar joined the Saudi-led military coalition against the Shia Houthis in Yemen in March 2015.
Another material fact: Qatar shares the North Dome–South Pars gas field with Iran. At 9,700 square kilometres, the field is the largest of its kind in the world, with its South Pars section, about a third of the total, lying in Iran's territorial waters. Aggregate recoverable gas reserves of this field are the equivalent of 230 billion barrels of oil, second only to Saudi Arabia's reserves of conventional oil. Income from gas and oil provide Qatar with more than 60 percent of its GDP and roughly 85 percent of export income. Qatar's population of 2.5 million has a per-capita GDP of $74,667, among the world's highest.
Rising state revenue enabled Emir Hamad to financially help terns of thousands of Lebanese who lost homes and businesses during the Israeli-Hezbollah War in 2006. After the Hamas–Israeli War in the Gaza Strip in November 2012, he stepped in to aid Hamas and displaced residents of Gaza. By then, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal had moved the party headquarters from strife-torn Damascus to Doha. Emir Hamad's generosity received massive publicity, thanks to the pan-Arab Al Jazeera satellite channel he had set up in 1996, much to the chagrin of Saudi royals.
Whereas Hamas is a terrorist organisation, according to the US and the EU, that is not the case with Saudi Arabia. Only in March 2014 did Riyadh declare the transnational Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, with the UAE following later that year.
From the mid-1950s to 1990, Saudi Arabia was the prime financial and ideological backer of the Brotherhood, which originated in Egypt in 1928. This stopped when Brotherhood leaders opposed the stationing of American troops on Saudi soil on the eve of the US-led coalition's military campaign to oust occupying Iraqis from Kuwait in 1991.
Since then the Brotherhood has renounced violence. Its candidate, Mohamed Morsi, won the first free and fair presidential election in Egyptian history in June 2012. Though his first foreign trip was to Riyadh, his hosts never forgave him for visiting Tehran to attend the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in August. Two months later, Emir Hamad met Morsi in Cairo, and his government invested $6 billion in Egypt's infrastructure projects.
The military coup against Morsi in 2013, denounced by Doha, was applauded by Riyadh. The hostility of Saudi and Emirati royals towards the Brotherhood stems from the fact that the Brotherhood's leaders demonstrated that Sharia rule could be established in a Muslim country by ballot, reiterating that ultimate power lies with the people, not a dynasty. That explains why the Sunni Brotherhood feels at one with the Islamic Republic of Iran, a predominantly Shia country.
When Qatar, then ruled by Emir Tamim after his father's abdication in June 2013, refused to abandon its pro-Brotherhood policy in March 2014, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain withdrew their ambassadors from Doha. They restored diplomatic ties in January 2015 after the emir compelled some foreign Brotherhood activists to leave for Turkey, which remains pro-Brotherhood, and silenced others.
A new element in this go-around is the Trump factor. "What is happening is the preliminary result of sword dance [of Trump]," tweeted Hamid Aboutalebi, deputy chief of staff of Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, referring to Trump's participation in a dance with Saudi King Salman.
However, the seed for Saudi-American love-in was laid in mid-March when Trump lunched with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman at the White House. A glimpse of the joint Saudi-American plan for Iran could be gleaned during the prince's May 1 television interview. "We know we are a main target of Iran," he said. "We are not waiting until there becomes a battle in Saudi Arabia, so we will work so that it becomes a battle for them in Iran and not in Saudi Arabia."
That statement, combined with the June 2 New York Times report, headlined "CIA Names the 'Dark Prince' to Run Iran Operations, Signaling a Tougher Stance," signals that the US CIA and the Saudi intelligence agency Al Mukhabarat al Aamah may be poised to launch a dirty-tricks campaign to promote regime change in Iran.
Riyadh's latest action against Qatar seems to be a preamble to launching a regional cold war against Iran. But this move is likely to throw Qatar into Iran's arms in order to survive. The Saudi press reports that Rouhani telephoned Emir Tamim, likely offering to meet Qatar's need for imported food and medicine.
The growing cordiality between Qatar and Iran will jeopardise the future of the Pentagon's Al Udeid Air Base. The ill-informed, impulsive Trump is opening a Pandora's Box by aligning his administration unequivocally with an autocratic Saudi monarchy, which has no track record of showing strategic probity politically, diplomatically or in its use of military force on its own.
