The Gatestone Institute, formerly Stonegate Institute and Hudson New York, is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit international policy council and think tank based in New York City with a specialization in strategy and defense issues.[2][3][4][5]
Gatestone was founded in 2012 by Nina Rosenwald, who serves as its president.[6][7] Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John R. Bolton is its chairman.[8][9][10]
Gatestone publishes the writings of authors such as Alan Dershowitz, Sebastian Gorka,[11] David Horowitz, Soeren Kern, Fred Maroun, Douglas Murray, Harold Rhode,[12] Robert Spencer and Khaled Abu Toameh.[13]
Gatestone has been accused of basing a report about "no-go zones" on claims which were later retracted,[14] and of making misstatements about a set of policy recommendations issued by a European human rights organization.[15]
History
The institute was founded in 2008 under the name "Hudson Institute New York" by Nina Rosenwald, who serves as its president,[6][7] Briefly in 2012 it was renamed Stonegate Institute,[16] before becoming Gatestone Institute in March 2012.[17]
The Gatestone Institute's personnel includes John R. Bolton (Chairman), former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,[18] Nina Rosenwald (President), Naomi H. Perlman (Vice President), The Viscountess Bearsted, Baroness Caroline Cox, Alan Dershowitz, The Lord Finkelstein OBE, and Merryl Tisch. Amir Taheri is the Chairman of Gatestone Europe. The Board of Advisors include Zuhdi Jasser, Richard Kemp, Michael Mukasey and R. James Woolsey, Jr. The Gatestone Institute's website contains a list of "Distinguished Senior Fellows," which include Khaled Abu Toameh, Gordon G. Chang, Patrick Caddell, Con Coughlin, Charles Crawford, Salim Mansur, Douglas Murray, Raheel Raza, and Harold Rhode.[1] Gatestone writers have been cited approvingly in the New York Times,[19] Wall Street Journal,[20] National Catholic Register,[21] Vanity Fair,[22] New York Post,[23] U.S. News & World Report,[24] The Hill,[25] and New York Daily News. [26]
Mission
The organization describes itself as a "non-partisan, not-for-profit international policy council and think tank is dedicated to educating the public about what the mainstream media fails to report."[27][28] The organization believes that traditional news outlets conduct insufficient and, as a result, misleading reporting on critical issues, and thus it distributes its own information about events in the Middle East and Muslim populations in other parts of the world.[27][29][30][31][32]
Criticism
Some articles published on the Gatestone Institute's website have been criticized for making false claims about Muslims. This has also led to criticism of its major funder, Nina Rosenwald.[12][33] The Hill criticized Gatestone as "paranoid" for claiming that immigration to Europe was “civilization jihad” and a “Muslim invasion”.[34] Muslim writers for the Gatestone Institute have defended the organization and Rosenwald against claims of anti-Muslim bias.[33]
Allegations of false claims
In 2012, an article in Gatestone claimed that France had "Muslim-dominated neighborhoods that are largely off-limits to non-Muslims." Bloomberg reported that this was "demonstrably untrue". Bloomberg said that "As with many urban legends, there are grains of truth in this one. Many French Muslims live in tough, isolated neighborhoods and have faced discrimination in housing and employment. Sometimes, police are afraid to respond to calls from dangerous neighborhoods in France and elsewhere."[14] Gatestone's claims about such zones originated from Daniel Pipes,[35] who later retracted his claims.[14] Nevertheless Gatestone's claims were picked up by many outlets, including FrontPageMag.[35]
On November 18, 2016, Gatestone originally published an article that said the British Press was ordered to avoid reporting the Muslim identity of terrorists by the European Union. Snopes pointed out it was only a recommendation and issued by the Council of Europe.[36] Gatestone subsequently corrected the article.[37]
Muslim members of Gatestone Institute defended Nina Rosenwald from criticism by Council on American–Islamic Relations that she donated to “groups that exist to make people fear and hate Islam.” Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, said, "It goes without saying, but to those who may not know Nina, and having known her now for many years, it is clear to me that she has the highest respect for Muslims who love their faith, love God, and take seriously our Islamic responsibility to defeat the global jihad and its Islamist inspiration." In response to anti-Muslim allegations made by CAIR toward Rosenwald, writer and film maker Raheel Raza said, "If Muslims guided by CAIR could take the time to read and reflect on efforts of people like Nina, they would broaden their horizons and gain a lot of insights into the betterment of Muslims."[38]
