 Evelyn Gordon immigrated to Israel in 1987, immediately after obtaining her degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University, and has worked as a journalist and commentator in Israel since 1990. She was a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, primarily covering the Supreme Court and the Knesset, and has been a regular columnist for that paper for over a decade. She currently works for the English edition of Haaretz, blogs regularly for Commentary magazine's "Contentions" site and contributes occasional articles to the magazine, and serves as a contributing editor of the Israeli quarterly Azure.

JINSA Fellow Evelyn Gordon reminds us that the true conflict in the Middle East has little to do with Israel. What chiefly concerns most of the countries involved is the regional balance of power between rival Muslim sects and states.
