Most Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) Jews are not Zionists. The majority however accepts the Jewish state but wants it to become a Haredi theocracy. A minority are religious Anti-Zionists who reject theocracy before the coming of the Mashiach (messiah). However, the Haredi Anti-Zionists do not vote in Israeli elections and therefore do not have any influence overContinue reading “What the Haredi World Thinks of Fellow Jews”

Ensuring the Survival of the AANES
The AANES (Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) is a faithful American ally, quite unlike Turkey under Erdogan. It is a US national interest to strengthen the AANES and ensure its survival as a liberalizing bastion of women’s rights in the Middle East. However, the AANES is landlocked and none of its neighbors areContinue reading “Ensuring the Survival of the AANES”
Median Jewish Aliyah
Median Jews in the Middle East lead a precarious existence as oppressed and in Iran persecuted minorities. The opportunity to immigrate to Israel will be welcomed by nearly all Median Jews in the Middle East. Remaining in their current countries of residence is certainly not an attractive prospect. It is impossible to say in advanceContinue reading “Median Jewish Aliyah”
Shedding the Pseudo-Islamic Veneer will be Easy
The eight denominations of core Median Jewry (Alawism, Alevism, Alianism, Bektashism, Druzism, Shabakism, Yarsanism and Yezidism) all have to varying degrees a Pseudo-Islamic veneer as meant to protect against forcible conversion by Islamic religious imperialism. However, nothing in those Pseudo-Islamic veneers make Median Jews Muslims. In fact, core Median Jewry does not practice Islam andContinue reading “Shedding the Pseudo-Islamic Veneer will be Easy”
The Future of Metropolitan Jerusalem lies in the Judean Desert
Jerusalem is the largest city in Israel with 900 000 inhabitants. Due to the predominantly religious nature of the Jewish population of Jerusalem, Jewish Jerusalemites have a high natural growth rate. While it will be possible to accommodate some of the population growth by building skyscrapers in the place of current buildings, it is clearContinue reading “The Future of Metropolitan Jerusalem lies in the Judean Desert”
Resolving the Problem is What Matters
There has long been an international fixation on Palestinian statehood and a so-called “two-state solution”. This was ostensibly “the only solution” to the Palestinian problem. Nothing could be more false. The international community has tried to achieve a two-state solution since 1937 and has only seen failure. The international community needs to internalize that whatContinue reading “Resolving the Problem is What Matters”
The Danger of Return to the Auschwitz Lines
Israel has built in Judea and Samaria since the 1970s with the dual strategic goals of 1) preventing a return to what former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban (1915-2002) described as “the Auschwitz lines” from which Israel would only be able to defend itself through preemptive war and 2) eventually redeeming and enfranchising the entireContinue reading “The Danger of Return to the Auschwitz Lines”
Dual Tracks for Alevi Freedom
Israel fears officially recognizing Alevis and other Median Jews as Jewish and eligible for immigration to Israel due the concern that the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Crypto-Islamist AKP regime will impose severe obstacles to Alevi and other Median Jewish Aliyah (immigration) to Israel. This is a well-founded fear as Erdogan does not want Alevis and other MedianContinue reading “Dual Tracks for Alevi Freedom”
Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace
A Palestinian state cannot be established through an end-of-claims final status agreement between Israel and the PLO for the simple reason that there is a consensus in Palestinian society never to resolve the issue of descendants of ex-refugees other than by inundating Israel with millions of Anti-Zionists that would make sure that Israel is replacedContinue reading “Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace”
There is No Logic in Iran Returning to the JCPOA
Tehran claims that it will return to “negotiations” with the US and with the rest of the P5+1 on November 29, 2021. No one knows whether there will actually be any negotiations in Vienna and if there are then these talks will surely be devoid of any substance since Tehran’s tactic is to delay andContinue reading “There is No Logic in Iran Returning to the JCPOA”
Assad is a Traitor
Bashar al-Assad and his coterie of Alawite turncoats are now all well aware that Alawism is a form of Crypto-Judaism and that they themselves are in fact Jewish by religion, ethnicity and nationality. Yet they insist on being aligned with the Khomeinist forces of totalitarian religious imperialism against their own indigenous nation and people. SinceContinue reading “Assad is a Traitor”
How to Liberate the Alawites
What alternatives are there for Israel to liberate the 4 million Median Jews (Alawites, Druze, Yezidis and Alevis) of Syria and Lebanon? The Anti-Zionist Lebanese and Syrian regimes would not let them emigrate to Israel. The only way to allow the Alawite and Druze Median Jews to immigrate to Israel would be for Israel toContinue reading “How to Liberate the Alawites”
What are the Secrets of Sabbateanism?
Why is Sabbateanism secretive? It is no secret that Sabbateans outwardly behave like secular Muslim Turks but within their own community practice a form of Kabbalistic Judaism. What is less known however is that the Sabbateans are members of the Bektashi order, one of eight denominations of core Median Judaism and practice Bektashism along withContinue reading “What are the Secrets of Sabbateanism?”
The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake
It is often claimed the strategically located indigenous restorative communities of Judea and Samaria contravene international law, yet Judea and Samaria is terra nullius and even those who recognize the non-existent “Palestinian state” cannot deny that the area was terra nullius at least prior to 1988, the period when most of those communities were established.Continue reading “The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake”
Multiculturalism goes too far when it Tolerates Totalitarianism
Respecting other cultures and living in coexistence with others are important values, yet multiculturalism certainly goes too far when it is extended to respecting totalitarianism. Many advocates of multiculturalism deem all opposition to Islamism generally to be Islamophobic and intolerant. Theocracy which Islamists advocate is not compatible with freedom of religion, surely a cornerstone ofContinue reading “Multiculturalism goes too far when it Tolerates Totalitarianism”
What is the Derin Devlet Planning for 2023?
President Erdogan and his ruling AK party (a front organization for the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood) is widely expected to lose the June 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey due to the worsening state of the country’s economy. There is no doubt that Mr. Erdogan and the powerful clandestine Muslim Brotherhood intelligenceContinue reading “What is the Derin Devlet Planning for 2023?”
A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is a Vital US National Security Interest
Israel will destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons program and the attack will likely take place in 2023. The attack would have to be repeated after less than two years and then after less than two years again. These regular attacks would go on indefinitely with intervals of less than two years so as to preventContinue reading “A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is a Vital US National Security Interest”
Iran does not Fear Israel’s Nuclear Deterrence
There is more than one danger with the scenario of Iran developing nuclear weapons. One of course is geostrategic, Iran seeks hegemony and nuclear weapons is one of several tools in its quest for regional hegemony and global superpower status. This is dangerous enough to the region and to the world, a strategic threat noContinue reading “Iran does not Fear Israel’s Nuclear Deterrence”
If You Want Peace – Turn to Ankara
Members of the international community that are eager to resolve the Palestinian issue as soon as possible should turn their attention to Ankara. Many millions of Alevis and other Median Jews want to leave the country, yet Israel has not yet officially declared them Jewish and eligible for Aliyah (immigration) to Israel for fear thatContinue reading “If You Want Peace – Turn to Ankara”
Aliyah Now or Later?
Alevis in Turkey are fed up with Mr. Erdogan’s Crypto-Islamist dictatorship and want to leave the country, yet currently have nowhere to go. The vast majority of Median Jews in Turkey are Alevis. Will quiet Western economic diplomatic pressure succeed in convincing Mr. Erdogan not to place obstacles in the way of Alevi Aliyah (immigration)Continue reading “Aliyah Now or Later?”
Why Hezbollah will Strike Israeli Cities with Chemical Weapons
Tehran is well aware that a successful Israeli attack against the Iranian nuclear weapons program would have to be repeated in less than two years time unless a no-fly zone is imposed over Iran that would allow intermittent US airstrikes against the Iranian nuclear weapons program, something which would prevent the program from ever recovering.Continue reading “Why Hezbollah will Strike Israeli Cities with Chemical Weapons”
A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is Absolutely Necessary
An Israeli series of strikes against the Iranian nuclear weapons program will only set back the Iranian nuclear weapons program one to two years since no one can take away the acquired know-how from the Iranian nuclear scientists. Therefore would it be necessary for Israel to repeat the operation every two years or so. However,Continue reading “A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is Absolutely Necessary”
Iran’s Nuclear Calculus
Iran faces a dilemma; if it continues to accelerate its nuclear weapons program, it will be destroyed by Israel from the air in late 2022 or early 2023. If Tehran reenters the JCPOA then it will have to give up the immense advances it has made in the past year of uranium enrichment. That ofContinue reading “Iran’s Nuclear Calculus”
Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue
Many governments around the world are understandably sincerely eager to resolve the protracted Palestinian issue, yet creating a Palestinian state is not within the realm of the possible due to the contradictory demand of the Palestinian side that Israel be demographically flooded with millions of Anti-Zionists, something which if actually realized would turn any two-stateContinue reading “Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue”
Why Israel Keeps Quiet on Median Jewry
The Israel government keeps absolutely silent on the question of core Median Jewry and core Median Judaism and some may wonder why? Most Median Jews in the Middle East would not be negatively affected by an official Israeli recognition of core Median Jewry as Jewish. However, the situation of those Median Jews who live asContinue reading “Why Israel Keeps Quiet on Median Jewry”
Iran is Playing for Time
The Iranian regime claims that it will return to the Vienna indirect “negotiations” on November 29, 2021. It is entirely unclear whether it will do so. What is clear however is that it has likely prepared an elaborate diplomatic arsenal to be able to play for time so as to avoid UN sanctions and willContinue reading “Iran is Playing for Time”
Palestinians of Judea and Samaria will Be Loyal Citizens of Israel
Once the Arab residents of Judea and Samaria have been granted Israeli citizenship and the Israeli government has proven that it is also loyal to them will the Arab population there also be loyal to Israel. It is now often conveniently forgotten that the Arabs of Israel lived under Israeli military rule until 1966 yetContinue reading “Palestinians of Judea and Samaria will Be Loyal Citizens of Israel”
The Garden Suburbs in Judea and Samaria
The majority of the strategically located indigenous restorative communities of Judea and Samaria are designed to be garden suburbs of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Beersheba and Haifa. There is not much economy in those communities as most residents commute to the metropolitan areas inside Israel. Contrary to the libelous claims of being designed to be “obstaclesContinue reading “The Garden Suburbs in Judea and Samaria”
Most Alevis Want to Leave Turkey
Erdogan has created a climate in Turkey whereby Alevis (who make up the vast majority of Turkey’s Median Jews) no longer feel welcome in the country. Yet, most Alevis still have nowhere to go as the gates of Median Aliyah (immigration to Israel) are yet to be opened and Median Jews for geopolitical reasons areContinue reading “Most Alevis Want to Leave Turkey”
The US Should Rescind its Plans to Reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem
The Israeli government has clearly made it known that it is opposed to the reopening of the US consulate in Jerusalem which according to US law is the capital of Israel and the capital of Israel alone. Yet, Secretary Blinken has announced plans to reopen the consulate contrary to the will of the host nation,Continue reading “The US Should Rescind its Plans to Reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem”
The Derin Devlet Should not Allow Further Invasions
The Erdogan regime is currently spreading rumors that the TAF (Turkish Armed Forces) is planning to invade further border areas of the AANES. It is essential that the Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus puts down the foot and does not allow further Jihadist destabilization in NES (North and East Syria). This isContinue reading “The Derin Devlet Should not Allow Further Invasions”
Arming the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Strengthens Israel
The AANES (Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) is effectively for all practical purposes in geostrategic terms an outpost of Israel. While the relationship between the AANES and Israel is covert and not officially acknowledged, the AANES always relies on advocacy by the organized Jewish community in the United States to get its messageContinue reading “Arming the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Strengthens Israel”
An Independent Aram Will be a Robust Ally of the West
Only Israel can liberate Aram, the majority Aramean Mount Lebanon region of northern Lebanon. Aram will be officially bilingual in Aramaic and Arabic while education should be in Aramaic only with Arabic taught as a second language. The State of Aram will of course be a natural ally of Israel but will also be anContinue reading “An Independent Aram Will be a Robust Ally of the West”
Israel Faces Calamity and Tehran Openly Declares so
Tehran openly states that Israel faces disaster and most Israelis do not seem to believe the Iranians. As of writing, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) is publicly training for a scenario where Hezbollah will unleash 2 000 projectiles a day for several weeks and where Hezbollah will commit chemical weapons attacks along the Israeli-Lebanese border.Continue reading “Israel Faces Calamity and Tehran Openly Declares so”
The X-Factor of Alevi Immigration to Israel
While Median Jewish emigration to Israel from Iran and Iraq will no doubt be rapid indeed once the gates are opened and nearly all 3-4 million Iraqi and Iranian Median Jews are highly likely to immigrate to Israel within the course of a year, Median Jewish immigration to Israel from Turkey is likely to beContinue reading “The X-Factor of Alevi Immigration to Israel”
Only Israel can Liberate Aram
The indigenous Aramean people of the Middle East has often suffered terrible persecution and oppression by Muslim rulers and their proxies. There is one region in the Middle East where the Arameans still make up the majority and that is the Mount Lebanon region of Lebanon. The Aramean people once lived throughout the Fertile CrescentContinue reading “Only Israel can Liberate Aram”
From Conceptzia to Victory
The term “conceptzia” (literally “conception”) in Israeli military history refers to the overarching Israeli strategic misconception about Israel’s enemies on the eve of the 1973 Yom Kippur War that they were weak and would not dare to attack Israel. For years have Israeli strategists been hostages to another “conceptzia” about the Jihadist terrorists on Israel’sContinue reading “From Conceptzia to Victory”
Why Tehran Hates America
All forms of Islamism (a modern totalitarian political ideology) are intensely Anti-Semitic and believe in Anti-Jewish conspiracy theories about Jewish world domination. The Iranian regime is no exception. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is notorious for having disseminated the so-called “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. Islamists believe that the Jews rule the world through AmericaContinue reading “Why Tehran Hates America”
Is Khamenei Becoming Mildly Senile or is he Just Dangerous?
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the person in charge of the Islamic Republic of Iran who makes all the major strategic decisions. There is no doubt that he is the one who made the decision to ditch the JCPOA and race towards the bomb knowing full well that Israel will destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program. HeContinue reading “Is Khamenei Becoming Mildly Senile or is he Just Dangerous?”
Naivety About Totalitarianism is Inexcusable
For every wave of totalitarianism there has also been the “useful idiots”, prominent intellectuals who were ready to stand up as apologists for totalitarian regimes and totalitarian movements. Communism probably had more useful idiots than any other form of totalitarianism, yet Nazism also had its share of useful idiots who would e.g. claim that HitlerContinue reading “Naivety About Totalitarianism is Inexcusable”
Qom Risks Annihilation
Khamenei plans to use chemical weapons against Israel in the massive rocket and missile war that Hezbollah will wage on Israel following Israel’s destruction of the Iranian nuclear weapons program in late 2022 or early 2023. Israel has no choice but to annihilate the clerical city of Qom in Iran as a matter of deterrenceContinue reading “Qom Risks Annihilation”
The AANES Needs to Reach the Sea
The Israeli-allied AANES (Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) finds itself in a constant conflict situation with Erdogan who no doubt would want to occupy the entire AANES-held territory, yet he cannot because the TAF (Turkish Armed Forces) are held back by the Israeli-allied Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus. This mustContinue reading “The AANES Needs to Reach the Sea”
Doubling Israel’s Jewish Population
What increase in Israel’s Jewish population is required for Israel to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria? From the Israeli government’s perspective what is probably required is the preservation of the demographic balance between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority. This requires doubling the country’s Jewish population. This could have been achievedContinue reading “Doubling Israel’s Jewish Population”
Decades of Failed Pressure
Successive US administrations have for decades applied varying degrees of diplomatic pressure on Israeli governments to refrain from indigenous restorative strategic construction in Judea and Samaria. Yet the fact is that Israeli governments of all political colors have built in Judea and Samaria since the late 1970s because it is rightly seen as a vitalContinue reading “Decades of Failed Pressure”
The Palestinians Still Want to Perpetrate a Nakba Against the Jews
Ever since the inception of Zionism in the late 19th century have Palestinians wanted to ethnically cleanse the land of Israel from Jews. in 1947 did the Palestinian movement start a war against the Yishuv (the Jewish community in the land of Israel) with the explicit purpose of evicting the Jews from their homes andContinue reading “The Palestinians Still Want to Perpetrate a Nakba Against the Jews”
The New Equation for Middle East Peace
Israel should formally agree to the resolution of most aspects of the Palestinian question in return for the West’s diplomatic assistance with Israel’s full reunification with Median Jewry as Israel cannot open the gates to Median Jewish emigration to Israel on its own. This requires sustained Western diplomatic economic pressure on Turkey to not placeContinue reading “The New Equation for Middle East Peace”
Mass Expulsions are Inhumane and are No Basis for Peace
The predominant conception of Palestinian statehood is premised on the idea of expelling up to 600 000 indigenous Jews from their homes. This is inhumane and furthermore unrealistic. This is an indigenous population that has restored its ancient residence and that cannot once more be revoked by cruel deportation as was done by the Romans.Continue reading “Mass Expulsions are Inhumane and are No Basis for Peace”
The International Community was Wrong About Judea and Samaria
Sometimes it takes an effort to admit that you were in the wrong. Sometimes it is very difficult, especially if it is an entrenched political position, so let’s examine the issue of Judea and Samaria. If you want a Palestinian state then a solution along the lines of the Kushner peace plan is the onlyContinue reading “The International Community was Wrong About Judea and Samaria”
Erdogan will not Go Willingly
As the Turkish economy is no longer in an attractive condition with high inflation, many in Turkey predict that Erdogan and the AKP will lose the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections. Turkey is the only dictatorship in the world with free and fair elections despite Erdogan’s total control over the country’s domestic media, yet Erdogan’sContinue reading “Erdogan will not Go Willingly”
The So-Called “Refugee Question” is at the Core of the Conflict
It is popular to claim that the strategically located restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria are obstacles to peace when the Kushner peace map proves that those indigenous communities are perfectly compatible with a two-state solution and would all become part of Israel under that peace plan. Rather, anyone who has spent time criticallyContinue reading “The So-Called “Refugee Question” is at the Core of the Conflict”
