Professional overview

Schanzer was a Research Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.[2]

From 2004 to 2007 Schanzer worked for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.[3]

Views

In a paper titled "The Talibanization of Gaza: A Liability for the Muslim Brotherhood", Schanzer wrote that while Ismael Haniyeh officially denied that Hamas intended to establish an Islamic emirate, since the 2007 coup, the Gaza Strip has exhibited the characteristics of "Talibanization," whereby the Islamist organization imposed strict rules on women, discouraged activities commonly associated with Western or Christian culture, oppressed non-Muslim minorities, imposed sharia law, and deployed religious police to enforce these laws.[4]

In a congressional hearing in 2016, Schanzer stated that some American Hamas-supporters also supported the BDS movement.[5]
