The Iranian opposition in exile can be characterized as being of two types. The first type supports cultural and linguistic hegemony by the Persians, the largest ethnic minority in the country comprising 45% of the population of Iran. The majority of the population is compromised by the other ethnolinguistic minorities in Iran, large and small.Continue reading “The Iranian Opposition Needs to Unite”

The Hamas Presence in Turkey Needs to be Expelled
Although Turkey’s ruling party AKP is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood as is indeed Palestinian Hamas, the Hamas presence in Turkey is highly inappropriate by any reasonable standard and must be removed one way or another. They could be eliminated by the Mossad on Turkish territory or they could be eliminated in other countriesContinue reading “The Hamas Presence in Turkey Needs to be Expelled”
Is the Gaza Casualty Rate Really Too High?
The US government has recently with some persistence claimed that ”too many civilians have died in Gaza”, but is that really true? The number of Israeli air strikes is higher than the number of Palestinian casualties which means that the ratio of casualty per strike is less than 1,0. How on Earth can that beContinue reading “Is the Gaza Casualty Rate Really Too High?”
An Unexplored Global Diplomatic Opportunity
Morocco has over the years succeeded in partly rolling back the formerly extremely extensive international recognition of Western Sahara. As the PA continues its long diplomatic march towards universal international recognition has there been no Israeli counter-strategy for rolling back international recognition of ”Palestine”. This is peculiar and reeks of mismanagement by successive Israeli governments.Continue reading “An Unexplored Global Diplomatic Opportunity”
Tehran is Watching and May Draw its Own Conclusions
While the hostage release agreement is worthwhile from the perspective of Jewish ethics, it is also dangerous because the ruling Mullahs may view it as a sign of profound weakness. I am bringing up this possibility due to the danger that the Iranian Axis may change its military strategy towards Israel. I am not suggestingContinue reading “Tehran is Watching and May Draw its Own Conclusions”
Derin Devlet Needs to Rein in Erdogan’s Rhetoric Against Israel
The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to rein in President Erdogan’s wild rhetoric against Israel which harms the interests of both Turkey and Israel. These extreme verbal assaults must end and must not ever be repeated.
The Gaza War is Just a Foretaste of the Northern War
Foreign governments that intend to apply pressure on the government of Israel so as to impose a ceasefire between Israel and the Jihadist terrorists in Gaza, effectively in favor of an eternal cycle of conflicts simply do not understand Israel’s situation. Israel just cannot assent no matter the price because doing so would be effectiveContinue reading “The Gaza War is Just a Foretaste of the Northern War”
The Biden Administration Does not Understand the MENA Region
The Biden administration is displeased that Prime Minister Netanyahu opposes a reinstatement of the PA in Gaza. First, the US government does not understand that no Arab government is sincerely interested in committing to administering the Gaza Strip prior to the complete pacification of that territory. Second, the PA won’t really be interested in takingContinue reading “The Biden Administration Does not Understand the MENA Region”
Borrell’s Musings
Josep Borrell has decided to once more express his personal opinions on Israel’s war against genocidal Jihadism in Gaza rather than the European Union’s official standpoint. Those prejudices of his are so outrageous that they require immediate correction.
America Must not Allow itself to be Deterred by Iran
Iran’s actions and rhetoric recently have all been about desperately trying to deter America in order to save Hamas from destruction at the hands of Israel. What is of vital strategic importance here is that America (a.k.a. ”the Great Satan”) cannot allow itself to be deterred by the Empire of Terrorism. Washington must deter Tehran,Continue reading “America Must not Allow itself to be Deterred by Iran”
Too Early to Decide on Post-War Arrangements
The US government has pushed the Israeli government to come up with an arrangement for the post-war situation in Gaza. Let’s look at the different options: Qatar is an international sponsor of Islamism and Jihadism (including Hamas) and can therefore not be relied on for governing Gaza. The Palestinian Authority is a terrible option consideringContinue reading “Too Early to Decide on Post-War Arrangements”
The Mullahs are Desperate
The strategic plans of the ruling mullahs in Tehran are falling apart due to Hamas’ severe miscalculation. Hamas is a semi-proxy of Iran and although it consults with and receives substantial aid from Tehran, it is not a full proxy like PIJ or Hezbollah. This was on full display during the October 7, 2023 pogrom.Continue reading “The Mullahs are Desperate”
Iran is Bluffing
Iran is desperate over Israel’s response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023; pogrom, the strategy of ”unification of fronts” is falling apart in front of their eyes. Iran’s threats and the present limited conflict on the Israel-Lebanon border is specifically intended to pressure the Biden administration into coercing Israel into a ceasefire as in May 2021.Continue reading “Iran is Bluffing”
Hamas is Going it Alone
It is becoming increasingly apparent that Hamas in launching its genocidal invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, did not act upon instructions from Tehran. After the May 2021 conflict when the US forced Israel to accept a premature ceasefire after only eleven days of hostilities did Hamas calculate that President Biden would actContinue reading “Hamas is Going it Alone”
How to Explain to the Media that Israel Doesn’t Target Civilians in Gaza
The al-Jazeera blood libel according to which the Jewish state is targeting civilians in Gaza is spreading in the international media. How should this be countered? Simply by explaining to journalists that the number of air strikes in Gaza is higher than the death toll in Gaza, i.e. on average less than 1,0 deaths perContinue reading “How to Explain to the Media that Israel Doesn’t Target Civilians in Gaza”
Assessing Gaza
In May 2021 there was an eleven-day long conflict between Israel and Gaza. The conflict was put an end to very early by US president Joe Biden who pressured Israel into a premature ceasefire. At the time I did not believe that 11 days of pounding terrorist infrastructure was enough to create sufficient deterrence soContinue reading “Assessing Gaza”
Turkey Needs to Fulfill its Obligations Regarding the Euphrates River
Turkey is taking almost all water from the Euphrates River in leaving virtually nothing for Iraq and Syria (including NES). According to the 1987 trilateral agreement between Syria, Iraq and Turkey is Syria’s share of the Euphrates River 500 cubic meter per second. Instead, the Euphrates has been reduced to a toxic swamp. The Sabbatean-controlledContinue reading “Turkey Needs to Fulfill its Obligations Regarding the Euphrates River”
Biden Administration Should Stop Wasting Time
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud in a recent interview with Fox News clarified that he expects Israel to ease the lives of the Palestinians. This is a most reasonable demand and should I add a very realistic one. Palestinians in Judea and Samaria suffer greatly under the gruesome bureaucratic apparatus of Israel’s Civil Administration.Continue reading “Biden Administration Should Stop Wasting Time”
Biden Administration Needs to Rethink its Public Strategy on Saudi Deal
The Biden administration has made three mistakes relating to the ongoing negotiations with Saudi diplomats. The first mistake was to presume that Saudi diplomats’ demands for major Israeli concessions to the Palestinian Authority accurately reflect the personal attitude of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The second mistake was to raise expectations among progressives in CongressContinue reading “Biden Administration Needs to Rethink its Public Strategy on Saudi Deal”
Understanding the ”Ongoing Nakba”
Palestinians ahistorically refer to Israel’s 1947-49 War of Independence as ”the Nakba”. The historical fact is that tens of millions of people were permanently displaced around the world in the 1945-50 period (especially in South Asia and Eastern Europe) of whom less than a million were displaced Palestinian Arabs and less than a million JewsContinue reading “Understanding the ”Ongoing Nakba””
The US Should Use its Leverage over the KRG
The KRG is desperately calling on the US to use its leverage over the Iranian-influenced Iraqi government to promote reconciliation between Erbil and Baghdad. The US however is in no hurry to do so with an anonymous US official reportedly pointing out that the PUK and KDP statelets cannot even integrate between themselves. The USContinue reading “The US Should Use its Leverage over the KRG”
What the ADL Should Tell Elon Musk
Elon Musk has blamed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for the 60% decline in advertisement revenues since he took over X (formerly Twitter). While this vastly overstates the influence and reach of the ADL and smacks of Anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, the ADL would be particularly well-advised to use this moment to foment a constructive discussion withContinue reading “What the ADL Should Tell Elon Musk”
Reading a Peculiar Situation
Recently on the same day, North and East Syria (NES) was attacked from two directions. In the Deir ez-Zor region was the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) attacked by pro-regime tribal forces and on the very same day was the SDF attacked in the Manbij region by Islamist militia forces supported by the AKP regime. TheContinue reading “Reading a Peculiar Situation”
It is Unacceptable to Try to Intimidate the Supreme Court
The message recently from the Israeli government has been one of intimidation towards the Supreme Court of Israel. The notion that the current extremist Israeli government can shield any piece of legislation from judicial review by making it part of a quasi-constitutional basic law is infuriating. The notion that the Supreme Court is responsible forContinue reading “It is Unacceptable to Try to Intimidate the Supreme Court”
My AI Dream
As a second generation Holocaust survivor, it is my dream that super-intelligent AI will at some point invent two advanced machines, one a replicator which can make identical living copies of living organisms, including humans and second a time machine which would allow us to observe the past on a screen without traveling to theContinue reading “My AI Dream”
Gazing into the Abyss
“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” Friedrich Nietzsche The Israeli government needs to very extremely carefully consider that it will become unseated by the Israeli Deep State in a military coup d’état in order toContinue reading “Gazing into the Abyss”
How Iraq will be Drawn into the Northern War
It’s virtually inevitable that Iraq will be drawn into the Northern War. First, the Iranian army will pass over Iraqi territory on the way to Syria. Second, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) will enthusiastically fight on the Syrian front. Third, all remaining Iranian and Iranian-aligned forces in the region will retreat into Iraq after havingContinue reading “How Iraq will be Drawn into the Northern War”
Derin Devlet Needs to Put an End to Drone Attacks Against AANES Territories
It is essential to ultimately achieve full normalization between AANES and Ankara as has already long since been established between Ankara and Erbil. However, in order to attain that it is vital to first permanently cease all Turkish drone attacks against AANES territories. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularlyContinue reading “Derin Devlet Needs to Put an End to Drone Attacks Against AANES Territories”
The KSA and the USA Need a Grand Deal Far More Than Israel Does
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently told Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer that Israel is misreading the situation if it thinks that it can get the US-Saudi-Israeli deal without significant Israeli concessions to the Palestinian Authority. However, this is not what the Saudis are telling the Israelis. For the USA and theContinue reading “The KSA and the USA Need a Grand Deal Far More Than Israel Does”
It is a US National Security Interest to Strengthen the KRG
Iran’s continued efforts to economically strangle the KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government) by deferring the resumption of oil exports through Turkey constitute a challenge against US interests in the region as Tehran seeks to subordinate the pro-American KRI (Kurdistan Region of Iraq) to Iran’s neo-imperialist agenda. It is essential that Washington exerts strong and sustained pressureContinue reading “It is a US National Security Interest to Strengthen the KRG”
Victory on Israeli Terms is Insufficient
Israel nowadays defines victory as having reached the specific, predetermined Israeli goals of a major military operation. This is problematic, insufficient and even strategically counterproductive since this permits the enemy to simultaneously claiming victory as well. It is true that Israel exists in a region with a highly peculiar political culture based on honor andContinue reading “Victory on Israeli Terms is Insufficient”
How Israel’s Sovereignty Map will Look Like
How is Israel’s sovereignty map different from the map of the Kushner peace plan? There will be no Israeli enclaves but there will be a number of fairly large Palestinian enclaves connected with other Palestinian enclaves and other Palestinian territory through tunnels. The Palestinian enclaves will be situated on the Western side of the SamariaContinue reading “How Israel’s Sovereignty Map will Look Like”
Pacifying Iran
Victory in the Northern War is critical for preventing the Iran-MENA front of WWIII, the other front being between Russia and NATO in Europe. Israel and Iran imagine completely different outcomes of the Northern War. Iran imagines that the outcome of the Northern War will be the destruction of Israel. Israel in contrast plans toContinue reading “Pacifying Iran”
National Interests First
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a political and rhetorical genius. He has long served Israel well. However, we have in the past few year witnessed how Bibi puts his personal interests over the national interest in a way that increasingly endangers the Zionist project. First, he held the country hostage with annual elections despite theContinue reading “National Interests First”
A New Mission for Tevel
There is need for a major international operation to be organized by Tevel, the political and diplomatic arm of the Mossad. There needs to be a secret international conference in Israel involving the top religious authorities of all branches and denominations of the wider Judaism on the issue of conversion to Judaism in Israel soContinue reading “A New Mission for Tevel”
Situation, Logic and Consequence
The Supreme Court of Israel has decided to hear eight petitions against ”the unreasonableness amendment” to one of Israel’s basic laws. The prime minister has already opined that it is essentially illegitimate for the court to hold such a hearing since according to his view judicial review does not extend to basic laws. Thus ifContinue reading “Situation, Logic and Consequence”
The Saudis are no Fools
The Biden administration is enthusiastically, albeit extremely naively so, hoping to somehow magically transform the rightwing Likud into the leftwing Meretz by dangling the prospect of normalization with the KSA. The sophisticated MBS-led Saudi government however isn’t exactly stupid, they know that the rightwing Israeli government can only deliver something symbolic. MBS knows perfectly wellContinue reading “The Saudis are no Fools”
Alea Iacta Est
The die is cast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu it appears has sealed his political fate. The course that he has entered will inevitably lead to a constitutional crisis and subsequently a military coup d’état in Israel. A better course would be for the secular Zionist majority in the Knesset to agree to transform Israel intoContinue reading “Alea Iacta Est”
What is a Legitimate Compromise?
A legitimate compromise needs not necessarily involve negotiations with the opposition. An acceptable compromise is one deemed legitimate by the Supreme Court of Israel. This is also relevant for the ”Anti-Reasonableness Bill”. Therefore, the government needs to discreetly consult with the Supreme Court before presenting a compromise bill to the Knesset. The Israeli Deep StateContinue reading “What is a Legitimate Compromise?”
A Legitimate Compromise Please
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims to seek a compromise instead of the current ”Anti-Reasonableness Bill”. The Israeli Deep State would be particularly well-advised to use its considerable leverage with the Prime Minister to make sure that he changes the bill into a compromise that is reasonable and acceptable to the Supreme Court and thus avoidsContinue reading “A Legitimate Compromise Please”
An Outline of the Northern War
The government of Israel is highly uninterested in fighting war during this turbulent period in Israeli political history. For Iran and Hezbollah however does it appear to be a perfect time for war. Indeed, the Iranian Axis is itching for war. The long series of provocations along Israel’s northern borders take place precisely because JafariContinue reading “An Outline of the Northern War”
Regime Change in Turkey is Imperative
The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to engineer a military coup d’état in Turkey. Regime change is absolutely necessary so as to ensure that Median Jewry in Turkey and Iraq are allowed to immigrate to Israel.
The New Defeatist Narrative
There is in international discourse dissemination of a new narrative according to which Israeli counter-terrorism operations do not prevent terrorism but are actually the cause of terrorism in something falsely described as ”the cycle of violence”. This of course is utter nonsense, the more terrorists Israel jails or kills the less terrorist attacks. Many hundredsContinue reading “The New Defeatist Narrative”
Applying Israeli Sovereignty to Parts of Judea and Samaria is Imperative
Nobody knows the outcome of the November 2024 presidential elections in the United States. However, eventually at some point a member of the GOP will become resident of the White House. Hence the question of whether a future Republican president will recognize Israeli sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria is an essential one indeed.Continue reading “Applying Israeli Sovereignty to Parts of Judea and Samaria is Imperative”
A Major Operation is Required in Northern Samaria
The situation in northern Samaria is not about to improve, the opposite is true, Iran is determined to further destabilize the area. Contrary to what is claimed by some naive Westerners is Palestinian terrorism not triggered by construction in indigenous Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. Rather, what annoys Palestinian terrorists the most is theContinue reading “A Major Operation is Required in Northern Samaria”
Staggering American Naivety
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has recently claimed that violence in northern Samaria makes normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia impossible or near impossible. Interestingly, the Saudis are not making demands on the Palestinian issue from the Israelis but from the Americans! The Saudis sense that they have leverage over the Americans on Judea/Samaria issuesContinue reading “Staggering American Naivety”
MBS’ Diplomatic Game
The reality is that America and Israel are absolutely indispensable to Saudi Arabia militarily speaking. The Saudi military could not defeat the Houthis in Yemen and so how could it for all its advanced American weaponry defend itself against Iran? So why is MBS playing the infidelity game with Iran (towards Israel) and with ChinaContinue reading “MBS’ Diplomatic Game”
Israel Should Consider the Wider Druze Relationship
The issue of erecting wind turbines near Druze Golan villages has triggered riots and clashes, yet it appears that not everyone in the Israeli government is aware of the strategic implications. Israel needs to consider its future relationship with the entire Druze people, also in regions that are currently part of Syria and Lebanon, areasContinue reading “Israel Should Consider the Wider Druze Relationship”
Cancel Erdogan’s Plot Against Imamoglu
President Erdogan sees Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu as a major threat for the 2028 presidential elections and has therefore concocted false accusations against him as intended to incarcerate Imamoglu for seven years so that he cannot run for president. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet Deep State domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to act toContinue reading “Cancel Erdogan’s Plot Against Imamoglu”
Release Turkey’s Imprisoned Journalists
Turkey is infamous for its large number of incarcerated journalists and this is precisely the right time to change this sad state of things. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to engineer a political process whereby all journalists are gradually released from prison within a reasonable period ofContinue reading “Release Turkey’s Imprisoned Journalists”
