The current Lebanese government is actively interested in peace with Israel and that is certainly a good thing. However as the Syrian Salafi regime has experienced, peace nowadays will be on Israel’s terms. In order to make peace with Israel – Damascus and Beirut will need to embrace federalism which proved very helpful in promotingContinue reading “Peace in Lebanon”

Trump’s Promise to Muslim Nations is Contingent upon Full Mutual Implementation of the US Peace Plan for Gaza
USA President Donald J. Trump made a promise to leaders of some Muslim nations in the context of what became the 20 point plan for peace in Gaza. President Trump should now emphasize to those leaders that his promise to prevent Israeli application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is entirely contingent upon Hamas implementingContinue reading “Trump’s Promise to Muslim Nations is Contingent upon Full Mutual Implementation of the US Peace Plan for Gaza”
Whither Palestinian Interests?
What are Palestinian interests, how are they defined by Palestinian leaders and are Palestinian leaders dangerous demagogues and grifters who are repeating tragic Palestinian history and leading their people down the road of doom, tragedy and exile? How do Palestinian political movements uniformly define Palestinian interests and are there any divergences between them? All PalestinianContinue reading “Whither Palestinian Interests?”
America’s Future is at Stake
All great nations e.g. Spain (post-1492) and Germany (post-1933) that have embraced Jew hatred have faced degeneration and decline. Why are pro-Jewish nations blessed and anti-Jewish nations cursed? The answer is simple. Nations that embrace irrational larger explanations such as scapegoating the Jews will inevitably suffer. The Soviet Union was not only Anti-Jewish, it embracedContinue reading “America’s Future is at Stake”
Zionism Vindicated
Jew hatred has once more become legitimized throughout the Western world. There are three consecutive historical and contemporary phases of Jew hatred; Anti-Judaism (Pagan, Christian and Muslim) hates Jews on the basis of religion, Anti-Semitism (in the narrow sense of the term) hates Jews on the basis of race and Anti-Zionism hates Jews on theContinue reading “Zionism Vindicated”
Why Hamas withholds Ran Gvili’s Body
Hamas does not want to disarm and thus seeks to prevent the next phase in the peace process by not releasing deceased hostage Ran Gvili’s body. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz today announced that Israel will establish indigenous Israeli communities in Gaza. This is what will happen unless Hamas disarms and releases Gvili’s body. ThereContinue reading “Why Hamas withholds Ran Gvili’s Body”
The Problem of War Reporting
Why is war reporting so slanted, populistic and far removed from truth? Other journalists such as those reviewing movies, literature and music are trained specialists in their fields while war reporters in most cases certainly are not. This is terrible where war reporters do not view themselves as such but rather as ”humanitarian activists”, i.e.Continue reading “The Problem of War Reporting”
Europe at War
Europe is once more at war. What we see now in Ukraine is merely the beginning. Once Europe is sufficiently militarily strong it will join the war in Ukraine. Europe must realize that this is the time to raise taxes to fund European armament and the Ukrainian war effort. There is nothing wrong with raisingContinue reading “Europe at War”
Ensuring Stability in the Middle East
USA President Donald J. Trump is rightfully committed to diplomatic resolution of hot conflicts around the world, but US diplomacy also needs to become visionary and preemptive in the sense as preventing future wars around the world from breaking out at all. One such risk of war breaking out in the future is between IsraelContinue reading “Ensuring Stability in the Middle East”
The Path to Palestinian Statehood
Under the current circumstances a so-called two-state solution is not possible. Delineating the path towards Palestinian statehood is however possible already at present. It is not true that a Palestinian state is the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An Israeli-Jordanian solution is in principle possible and Jordan wants it although it will not publiclyContinue reading “The Path to Palestinian Statehood”
Stability in Syria
USA President Donald J. Trump is a strong leader who rightly prioritizes stability in Syria. However, without minority rights there will be neither stability nor peaceful coexistence. Israel’s alliance with the regional majorities, ”minority” communities of Syria is as ironclad as the US alliance with Israel. The Druze and the Kurds de facto already ruleContinue reading “Stability in Syria”
