The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), also known simply as The Washington Institute (TWI), is a pro-Israel American think tank based in Washington, D.C., focused on the foreign policy of the United States in the Near East.
WINEP was established in 1985 with the support of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the funding of many AIPAC donors, in order to provide higher quality research than AIPAC’s own publications.John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt described WINEP as “part of the core” of the Israel lobby in the United States.

These two are just as bad AIPAC. They just shill for a different group. And unlike AIPAC leaders, who at least have some sort of connection to Israel, these two live in the US and don’t seem to want to reject their US citizenship and move to russia (while supporting russian genocidal imperialism). I would almost say them criticizing TWI, adds legitimacy to the organization.
If you actually read the article, it is mostly descriptive and informative, with very little opinion or even analytical conclusions. I would have no issues with sharing it with someone interested in learning more about HTS public policy. If anything, I would have preferred the article to be longer and more in-depth (a mini report of sorts). Did not even notice the org until I went to the comments section.
Is there something specific that bothers you about the article?
It’s a puff piece for religious extremists by religious extremists.
