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”
Deterrence is Incompatible with Appeasement
The Iranian leadership is determined to implement ”Death of America” at some point. They cannot be strategically deterred, only tactically so. This presents a dilemma for the United States government. What is the best means for deferring the destruction of America, appeasement or deterrence? The US government is yet to recognize that Elon Musk andContinue reading “Deterrence is Incompatible with Appeasement”
Where is the Region Heading?
There are two major wars awaiting the Middle East. The first will be the Northern War where the Israeli and Iranian armies will fight it out on Syrian soil and the second will be Iran’s attempt to conquer the MENA region. Israel’s Arab allies intend to take Assad’s side in the Northern War. It isContinue reading “Where is the Region Heading?”
Will Russia Stay Neutral in the Northern War?
Russia has already assured access through Iraqi air space for its own air force. However, the real question is whether Moscow will stay neutral in the upcoming Northern War between Israel and the Iranian Axis? One would think that Putin would be smart enough not to go to war against Israel, considering his present experienceContinue reading “Will Russia Stay Neutral in the Northern War?”
Looking Weak and Confused
The US government has once more ventured onto the hopeless, dangerous and counterproductive route of indirect negotiations with Iran. Time is something that the Iranian regime cannot afford to waste and has therefore no interest whatsoever in concluding even a tactical agreement with ’the Great Satan’. This is so because the continual progression in theContinue reading “Looking Weak and Confused”
US Deterrence Depends on Credibility
One problem with US deterrence vis-a-vis Iran is the ambiguity surrounding the question as to who will take out Iran’s nuclear weapon’s program. If Israel isn’t convinced that America will take part, then who can blame Iran for not believing America? Why is not Israel convinced that America will act militarily to neutralize the IranianContinue reading “US Deterrence Depends on Credibility”
Peculiar?
European governments are unhappy with Russia funding Communists and Nazis in their own countries but they do not seem to understand why Israel is unhappy with Europe funding Anti-Semites in Israel. Whoah? Are European governments and the European Union funding Anti-Semites in Israel? Yes, according to the EU-approved IHRA definition of Anti-Semitism and its 11Continue reading “Peculiar?”
Israeli Civil Society Should not Rely on Foreign Governments
It is very unhealthy that foreign governments on a massive scale fund Israeli NGO’s which lack popular basis in Israeli society. It is legitimate to raise funds from private organizations and individuals at home and abroad but to mostly rely on foreign governments means corrupting the very notion of ”non-governmental organization”. Are those organizations actuallyContinue reading “Israeli Civil Society Should not Rely on Foreign Governments”
A US Mideast Defense Strategy
Iran remains focused on capturing the MENA region and the current detente whereby Iran seeks to rival Israel’s intended regional integration and furthermore engage in regional intelligence infiltration is a mere phase in Tehran’s great plan for conquering the Arab world. While preparing for the Northern War against Israel, is Iran trying to compete withContinue reading “A US Mideast Defense Strategy”
Open the KRI-NES Border
The border between the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and North and East Syria (NES) has long remained closed due to pressure from Ankara on Erbil. This needs to change. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to use its leverage in Ankara to relieve pressure on Erbil soContinue reading “Open the KRI-NES Border”
Strategic Dialogue is Required
There are certain issues regarding Iran where the US and Israel do not show each other their respective cards. That may likely include the point when they consider it necessary to strike the Iranian nuclear program. They should show each other their cards. Washington and Jerusalem is like a couple who are lying to eachContinue reading “Strategic Dialogue is Required”
Jordan’s Anti-Israel Incitement is a Sign of Weakness
Why is Jordan inciting against Israel and staying out of the Negev Forum? It is not that King Abdullah has personally turned particularly anti-Israel or somehow become a pro-Palestinian activist. Rather, this is a real sign of weakness of the Hashemite regime. In the past were the Hashemites not afraid to be open about theirContinue reading “Jordan’s Anti-Israel Incitement is a Sign of Weakness”
A Joint Iran Operation is a Shared US-Israeli Interest
The US is able to deter Iran, i.e. temporarily so, but it has to be sustained over time in order to ensure homeland security from the threat of Iranian biological terrorism against major American cities. The US is right to pursue military integration with Israel as this bolsters US deterrence vis-a-vis Iran. However, this requiresContinue reading “A Joint Iran Operation is a Shared US-Israeli Interest”
The Elections Were Rigged
There has long been opinion polls in Turkey on the prospects of the 2023 presidential elections and suddenly the results were reversed between the candidates in the actual elections. It is impossible to not think that the elections were rigged. Does it really seem plausible that such a vast majority of undecided voters turned toContinue reading “The Elections Were Rigged”
The Red Line
The coalition is at liberty to pass any legislation it wants and the Supreme Court may nullify it. However, if the government chooses to disobey the Supreme Court, then it crosses a definitive red line. This makes the government vulnerable to a military coup d’état as ordered by Israel’s Deep State. Make no mistake, whatContinue reading “The Red Line”
A Military Coup D’État in Turkey
It was always clear that Erdogan would not willingly hand over power and now he has resorted to rigging the elections. Clearly this cannot be allowed to pass. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to order and organize a military coup in Turkey that would install the realContinue reading “A Military Coup D’État in Turkey”
Why the USAF Should Participate in the Northern War
There is a strong case for the US Air Force participating on Israel’s side in the Northern War without putting a single boot on the ground. For Israel is the Northern War an existential matter as it is a war of no choice, it will indeed be fought as it is only a matter ofContinue reading “Why the USAF Should Participate in the Northern War”
