The Pentagon has leaked that US officials and visiting Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz will discuss different military options on Iran and joint US-Israeli military exercises in preparation for destroying the Iranian nuclear weapons program. This is aptly described as the worst-case scenario for Iran. It is certainly welcome that the US government has returnedContinue reading “The US Shifts Paradigm”

When to Attack Iran?
It takes time and effort to build an international coalition to establish a no-fly zone over Iran. Despite the P5+1 still entertaining desperate hopes about reaching an agreement with Tehran, there is absolutely no chance that such an agreement will be clinched for the simple reason that such an agreement is not in the interestContinue reading “When to Attack Iran?”
The Challenge of Absorbing Tens of Millions of Median Jews
There are tens of millions of Median Jews in the Middle East and beyond with the largest demographic concentration being in Turkey. Nearly all Median Jews live in countries that are significantly less economically developed than Israel and hence moving to Israel – one of the 20 most developed economies – will prove very attractiveContinue reading “The Challenge of Absorbing Tens of Millions of Median Jews”
Halting the Wave of Regression in Liberal Democracy
There has for the past two decades been a wave of regression in liberal democracy around the world. There is also a global phenomenon of semi-democratic leaders and semi-democratic movements that are nominally democratic but are actually undermining liberal democracy. What is needed are new constitutional protections for liberal democracy and Germany and Israel areContinue reading “Halting the Wave of Regression in Liberal Democracy”
Governments in Islamdom Regard Islamism/Jihadism as Main Threat
The Biden administration wants to focus on the rivalry with China and Russia, yet this is distinctly not how governments in Islamdom see the world. To most governments in Islamdom is Islamism/Jihadism the main threat and therefore is Israel regarded as the indispensable great power that can afford them protection as the United States isContinue reading “Governments in Islamdom Regard Islamism/Jihadism as Main Threat”
Support for Two-State Solution is Support for Status Quo
There is an international consensus that supporting a so-called “two-state solution” promotes peace. However, all evidence suggests otherwise. Rather, support for a so-called “two-state solution” in practice reinforces the status quo since supporting a “two-state solution” means not resolving the conflict. It should be noted however that for the moment the status quo is theContinue reading “Support for Two-State Solution is Support for Status Quo”
Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?
Palestinian diplomats have persuaded diplomats from Europe and many nations that Palestinian negotiators are actually highly flexible. The only thing this proves is that Palestinian diplomats are highly adept at diplomatic deception. Every time there has been an attempted final status negotiation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have Palestinian negotiators demanded that Israel capitulateContinue reading “Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?”
Will the US Join an International Coalition to Impose a No-Fly Zone over Iran?
What will US policy on Iran be after the demise of the JCPOA? Secretary of State Antony Blinken has strongly and repeatedly pronounced that the Malley doctrine (endless negotiations) is not US policy (or rather no longer US policy). The US has however given no indications as to what will be its Iran policy afterContinue reading “Will the US Join an International Coalition to Impose a No-Fly Zone over Iran?”
What Tehran Thinks of Nuclear Deterrence
What is Tehran’s perspective on nuclear deterrence? Iran generally believes that liberal democracies with their humanitarian sensibilities are not very serious about nuclear deterrence. One exception is the United States under Republican administrations since Republican presidents are generally perceived as “mean” and “dangerous”. However, Iran does not believe that there is any risk in attackingContinue reading “What Tehran Thinks of Nuclear Deterrence”
The Two-State Solution that Never Was
It is generally assumed that a so-called “two-state solution” along the lines of a return plus-minus to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines is in the interest of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It is also claimed that if this particular version of a two-state solution (there are others) becomes impossible (it is already impossible), thenContinue reading “The Two-State Solution that Never Was”
Why the US wants to Limit Sino-Israeli Economic Relations
The US government is very concerned about Israel-China economic relations to the point of telling Israel not to do business with Chinese companies that are active in the US. While the US has legitimate concerns in preventing transfer of sensitive dual usage technologies to China, the US has an additional agenda and that is toContinue reading “Why the US wants to Limit Sino-Israeli Economic Relations”
The Jewish People should Declare War on the Muslim Brotherhood
The ongoing surge in Anti-Zionism in the United States is fomented by an alliance of leftwingers with the Muslim Brotherhood which is an international intelligence agency whose agents are trained at deceiving and politically defrauding its “partners” and other victims. What do the Muslim Brotherhood which seeks to introduce sharia law as state law, includingContinue reading “The Jewish People should Declare War on the Muslim Brotherhood”
Iran’s Chemical Weapons Calculus
Why does Iran intend to attack third countries with chemical weapons following Israel’s destruction of the Iranian nuclear weapons program? First, this is intended as deterrence so that nations will pressure Israel never to attack the Iranian nuclear weapons program again. Second, it is intended to isolate the Jewish state among the nations and diminishContinue reading “Iran’s Chemical Weapons Calculus”
America Faces Apocalypse
The failed policy of the Democratic administration on Iran is a reflection of the desperate situation that America finds itself in vis-a-vis Iran. 1. Once Israel destroys the Iranian nuclear weapons program will Iran set off chemical weapons in major cities in dozens of countries around the world that are perceived to be especially connectedContinue reading “America Faces Apocalypse”
Has the World Learned Anything From the Holocaust?
Iran has for years repeated its intention to “annihilate Israel”. Iranian chemical weapons pose a severe threat against major cities in many countries around the world as Iran prepares to attack many nations in response to Iran’s nuclear weapons program being destroyed. America faces the threat of Iranian usage of biological weapons on American soilContinue reading “Has the World Learned Anything From the Holocaust?”
Iran is Undeterred
Israel does not yet have a military capability to destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons program and will not have one for about a year or so and the US still does not have a Plan B. So currently the Iranians are not worried. However, no one should be surprised that Iran is undeterred. The lackContinue reading “Iran is Undeterred”
Restorative Indigenous Construction is Rational
There has long been an assumption in the international community that the restorative indigenous construction project in Judea and Samaria is the result of excessive nationalism of politically conservative Revisionist Zionism and rightwing Modern Orthodox Religious Zionism. It has not been understood that the restorative indigenous communities were not founded at random but are aContinue reading “Restorative Indigenous Construction is Rational”
Inside the Mullahs’ Conspiratorial Universe
Most non-Anti-Semites have not tried to imagine what it means to be a conspiratorial Anti-Semite. To be a conspiratorial Anti-Semite means to live in a constant state of fear of the ostensibly omnipotent Jews. Conspiratorial Anti-Semites typically try to explain problems in terms of their worldview, meaning in effect that Jews are behind all problems. Continue reading “Inside the Mullahs’ Conspiratorial Universe”
BDS is not What it Claims to Be
Proponents of BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) want to pressure the Jewish state out of existence. But what is the real purpose of the BDS movement as a product of international political action by Palestinian Authority intelligence? The PA knows perfectly well that it is not possible to pressure Israel into committing national suicide, inContinue reading “BDS is not What it Claims to Be”
The US has no Plan B
There is an obvious contradiction between the Malley doctrine (yes to endless negotiations) and the Blinken doctrine (no to endless negotiations). The US is literally desperate about reconciling with the implacable Iranian regime. The reasons are deeply understandable since the consequences of Israeli conflict with Iran will be mass terrorist attacks with chemical weapons againstContinue reading “The US has no Plan B”
Israel Should Reconsider its Policy of Nuclear Ambiguity
Israel’s deterrence posture against Iran has collapsed and it is unclear why this is so, one possible explanation is that Tehran assumes that the Democratic administration in the US will intervene to prevent Israel from nuking Qom after Iran’s proxy Hezbollah attacks Israeli cities with chemical weapons subsequent to Israel’s destruction of the Iranian nuclearContinue reading “Israel Should Reconsider its Policy of Nuclear Ambiguity”
Appeasement Undermines Deterrence
The appeasement policy of the Democratic administration undermines America’s deterrence posture. Iran is well aware that no Democratic administration will respond with nuclear weapons to Iranian chemical weapons attacks against America and hence is America highly vulnerable to chemical weapons attacks against major American cities. President Trump was not afraid to abrogate the JCPOA sinceContinue reading “Appeasement Undermines Deterrence”
Iran is Dangerous and Irrational
The Raisi administration is officially shutting down the JCPOA by reneging on all “concessions” of the Rouhani administration. The Iranian regime knows that the US is literally desperate to reach a nuclear deal in order to avoid Iranian chemical weapons mass terrorism on a global scale. Iran knows that its WMD extortion works and apparentlyContinue reading “Iran is Dangerous and Irrational”
Shifting Iran Paradigm
As the JCPOA is about to effectively expire, we should ponder whose policy is the real US policy on Iran, Rob Malley’s advocacy of endless negotiations or Antony Blinken’s opposition to endless negotiations? Is it possible that the US is transitioning from the Malley doctrine to a Blinken doctrine? Or is Blinken’s rhetoric merely anContinue reading “Shifting Iran Paradigm”
Why Iran will Continue to Stall
Iran is determined to continue to accelerate its nuclear weapons program and participation in “negotiations” is merely a means of playing for time so as to satisfy Russia and China in order to avoid UN sanctions. Iran already however has more than enough enriched uranium for one nuclear bomb but Iran is not satisfied withContinue reading “Why Iran will Continue to Stall”
The Iranian Waves Plan
What is the Iranian game plan for chemical weapons attacks against perceived and actual adversaries in response to the Israeli destruction of the Iranian nuclear weapons program and an allied imposition of a no-fly zone over Iran? It is virtually impossible to stop the Iranian provision of chemical weapons to sleeper cells in countries aroundContinue reading “The Iranian Waves Plan”
America will not Elude Iranian Attacks
The JCPOA was quite effective in deferring the Iranian WMD mass terrorist threat. It could be argued that the JCPOA therefore constituted effectual appeasement despite constituting a temporary deferral and effectively selling out the existential interests of America’s Middle Eastern allies. There is no way to repeat the JCPOA trick as Iran is well awareContinue reading “America will not Elude Iranian Attacks”
A No-Fly Zone over Iran is a Gargantuan Undertaking
The establishment of a no-fly zone over Iran will allow for intermittent attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities so as to prevent the Iranian nuclear weapons program from ever recovering after having been destroyed by the IAF (Israeli Air Force). A no-fly zone will furthermore provide air support to armed rebellions against the Khomeinist regime. ThereContinue reading “A No-Fly Zone over Iran is a Gargantuan Undertaking”
No One Will Mourn the Demise of the Last Ba’athist Regime
The last Ba’athist regime is run by members of the Alawite community in Syria, one of nine denominations of core Median Judaism. Yet, the Ba’athist regime despite being controlled by persons who are halakhically Jewish promote vile Anti-Semitism. Ba’athist Syria is allied with Khomeinist Iran, originally due to the strange misconception that Alawites ostensibly areContinue reading “No One Will Mourn the Demise of the Last Ba’athist Regime”
America is at War with Conspiratorial Anti-Semitism
On December 11, 1941 did Nazi Germany declare war on America. Conspiratorial Anti-Semitism was at the very core of Nazi ideology and Berlin’s decision to declare war on America despite Germany having no border with and not being on the same continent as the United States was no doubt in part motivated by conspiratorial Anti-Semitism.Continue reading “America is at War with Conspiratorial Anti-Semitism”
Why are There no Bektashis in Kurdistan and Zazaistan?
The Medes were converted to Israelite religion by the deported Israelites from the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Medes thus became Israelites themselves. The Israelite Levites were absorbed into the Median priestly tribe. The Israelite kohanim became the priestly caste of the Medes. Alevis are descended from Israelite Levites and the Median priestly tribe.Continue reading “Why are There no Bektashis in Kurdistan and Zazaistan?”
Mass Terrorism with Nuclear Impunity
As America has reentered the Vienna indirect “negotiations”, the United States has to consider the consequences of Khomeinist Iran becoming a nuclear power. The threat of Iran using chemical weapons against major American cities and indeed against cities around the world in countries that Tehran may want to “punish” will become even worse. Once IranContinue reading “Mass Terrorism with Nuclear Impunity”
Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question
The Zionist radical left in Israel and the international community entertain the idea of appeasing the official demand of the Palestinian Authority that Israel returns to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines with minor “exchanges” of territory. The Zionist radical left imagines that this would involve the deportation of at least 100 000 Jews from their homesContinue reading “Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question”
By Word of Mouth
Since the historical rediscovery of core Median Judaism less than a decade ago, the message that these denominations are Jewish has spread rapidly like a wildfire in the Middle East. Members of denominations of core Median Judaism (Alawites, Alevis, Alians, Bektashis, Druze, Khaksaris, Shabaks, Yarsanis and Yezidis) are increasingly aware of being Jewish and increasinglyContinue reading “By Word of Mouth”
Israel has an Exit Strategy for Syria and Lebanon
America was fully justified in liberating totalitarian Iraq in 2003. Saddam Hussein was a profoundly dangerous dictator who had used chemical weapons against civilians and committed genocide against his own citizens. The Anti-American Saddam Hussein posed a severe threat against America due to the possibility that he would use his chemical weapons again. America endedContinue reading “Israel has an Exit Strategy for Syria and Lebanon”
Why does Erdogan Claim that he Wants to Improve Relations with Israel?
Erdogan has many times publicly claimed that he wants to improve relations with Israel, i.e. Turkey and Israel exchanging ambassadors. Yet this does not happen. One may certainly wonder why this is so? One explanation is that Erdogan is under pressure from the Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus through the TAF (TurkishContinue reading “Why does Erdogan Claim that he Wants to Improve Relations with Israel?”
Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work
When the Israeli government initiated what became the Oslo process was it quite aware that no end-of-claims final status agreement was possible with the PLO. Yet, the opened-eyed, realistic Israeli government initiated the Oslo process with the goal of establishing a Palestinian autonomy, something that was accepted by both Likud and Labor and was anchoredContinue reading “Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work”
Will a Desperate US Surrender to Iran?
“We seem to be very near the bleak choice between War and Shame. My feeling is that we shall choose Shame, and then have War thrown in a little later on even more adverse terms than at present.” Winston Churchill Will the threat of Iranian chemical weapons attacks against the American homeland compel the DemocraticContinue reading “Will a Desperate US Surrender to Iran?”
The Myopia of Appeasement
America during the presidency of Barack Obama had as its policy to appease and even align with Islamism. This is not the policy of the Biden administration, yet the current administration clings desperately to the Obama-era JCPOA despite increasingly realizing that it is already dead. The latest idea for a partial agreement with Iran thatContinue reading “The Myopia of Appeasement”
Erdogan is Subordinate to the Muslim Brotherhood
Who is Erdogan? He is the dictator of Turkey yet his powers are severely delimited by the highly influential Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus. Erdogan also heads the AK party, which is a mere front organization for the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Erdogan is an intelligence operative of Muslim BrotherhoodContinue reading “Erdogan is Subordinate to the Muslim Brotherhood”
Unseating the Khomeinist Regime
There is no doubt that the regions of the ethnic periphery in Iran will successfully rise in armed rebellion with allied air support against the Khomeinist regime in response to the allied imposition of a no-fly zone over Iran. However, will the Persians also rise in armed rebellion? There is no doubt that they willContinue reading “Unseating the Khomeinist Regime”
Futile Diplomacy
Once a no-fly zone is imposed by a coalition of Israel and allied nations of Islamdom over Iran and Israel has destroyed the Iranian nuclear weapons program will Iran and its proxies retaliate with chemical weapons attacks not only against Israeli cities but indeed against major cities worldwide. Who can seriously believe that “the GreatContinue reading “Futile Diplomacy”
Understanding the Sabbateans
While the Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus in Turkey is controlled by members of the Sabbatean subdenomination of Bektashism (one of nine denominations of core Median Judaism) is there no question that the Derin Devlet also effectively controls the Sabbatean community. No researchers obviously have access to the Sabbatean community other than ifContinue reading “Understanding the Sabbateans”
Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace
Why is the international community insisting on stigmatizing restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria as so-called “obstacles to peace” when the Kushner peace map proves that they are manifestly not obstacles to partition? In fact, the unpublished Israeli partition map which provided the blueprint for the establishment of the restorative indigenous communities throughout JudeaContinue reading “Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace”
There was Never a Time for a Palestinian State
EU representative in Ramallah Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff claims that “time is running out on the two-state solution” as if a two-state solution was ever possible. He peddles false claims according to which the building of Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem prevents a Palestinian state as if Israel would ever agree to redivide Jerusalem. The KushnerContinue reading “There was Never a Time for a Palestinian State”
The US Should Support the AANES for its Liberalization and Democratization
The AANES (Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) has made significant progress towards liberal democracy and more progress should be expected as the AANES is exceptionally successful in its feminist liberalization and democratization. In fact, the AANES is a model for liberalization and democratization for Muslim societies generally. The AANES is instilling liberal andContinue reading “The US Should Support the AANES for its Liberalization and Democratization”
A Partial Agreement Would not Appease Iran
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the Israeli government is concerned that the US government seeks an interim agreement, meaning freezing Iranian uranium enrichment and effectively recognizing Iran as a nuclear threshold state. Such an agreement would indeed be a severe mistake that would reward Iranian violations of the JCPOA. This illustratesContinue reading “A Partial Agreement Would not Appease Iran”
Jews are NOT a Race
The anti-Jewish Apartheid libel is based on the notion that the Jews of Israel are a racial group that oppresses the Palestinians who ostensibly also are “a racial group”. It is of course complete nonsense to claim that Jews and Palestinians are different racial groups. Various Palestinian local communities have different origins but the majorityContinue reading “Jews are NOT a Race”
Jordan and Gaza
The elected Jordanian government officially claims that there is no alternative to establishing a Palestinian state despite this being entirely unfeasible. However, the real decision-making in Jordan lies with the monarchy and there is no doubt that the Jordanian monarchy would be extremely happy to annex Gaza which would give Jordan a coastline along theContinue reading “Jordan and Gaza”
The Khomeinist Apocalypse
An international no-fly zone under the leadership of Israel and Saudi Arabia is an existential threat against the Khomeinist regime. It will lead to Tehran losing control over up to half of its population and could potentially lead to regime change in Tehran if the Persians too and not only the minorities of Iran’s ethnicContinue reading “The Khomeinist Apocalypse”
