He is a weekly columnist for The National (UAE), former columnist for Bloomberg, regular contributor to The Atlantic and The Daily Beast, and frequent contributor to many other U.S. and Middle Eastern publications.[1] He has made thousands of radio and television appearances and was the Washington, DC correspondent for The Daily Star (Beirut). Many of Ibish's articles are archived on his Ibishblog website.[2]

His most recent book is What's Wrong with the One-State Agenda? Why Ending the Occupation and Peace with Israel is Still the Palestinian National Goal (ATFP, 2009).[3] Ibish was included in all three years (2011, 2012, and 2013) of Foreign Policy's “Twitterati 100,” the magazine's list of 100 “must-follow” Twitter feeds on foreign policy.[4]

Ibish is the editor and principal author of three major studies of Hate Crimes and Discrimination against Arab Americans 1998-2000 (ADC, 2001), Sept. 11, 2001-Oct. 11, 2002 (ADC, 2003), and 2003-2007 (ADC, 2008).[5] He is also the author of “At the Constitution’s Edge: Arab Americans and Civil Liberties in the United States” in States of Confinement (St. Martin's Press, 2000),[6] “Anti-Arab Bias in American Policy and Discourse” in Race in 21st Century America (Michigan State University Press, 2001),[5] “Race and the War on Terror,” in Race and Human Rights (Michigan State University Press, 2005)[7] and “Symptoms of Alienation: How Arab and American Media View Each Other“ in Arab Media in the Information Age (ECSSR, 2005).[7] He wrote, along with Ali Abunimah, “The Palestinian Right of Return” (ADC, 2001)[8] and “The Media and the New Intifada” in The New Intifada (Verso, 2001).[9] He is the editor, along with Saliba Sarsar, of Principles and Pragmatism (ATFP, 2006).[10]

Ibish previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine, and executive director of the Hala Salaam Maksoud Foundation for Arab-American Leadership from 2004 to 2009.[11] From 1998 to 2004, Ibish served as communications director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.[11]

Background and education

[edit]

Ibish was born in Beirut, Lebanon.[12] He comes from an academic background:[13] his father, Yusuf Ibish, was a Lebanese/Syrian who studied at Harvard University's Department of Government in the 1950s and was on the faculty of the American University of Beirut as a scholar of Islam.[14] His father and mother were a devout Sunni Muslim and Anglican Christian, respectively, although he never embraced either religion, despite being a founding member of the Progressive Muslim Union.[15] Ibish attended Emerson College, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communications in 1986. He has a PhD in comparative literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.[16]
