Realizing the Visions of the Prophets
Time for a New Saudi Strategy on Yemen
The KSA appears to be repeating its old failed strategy on Yemen, i.e. providing air support to Yemeni so-called ”government forces” militias and then hoping for the best. Instead what Riyadh needs to do is to invade the Red Sea coastal plain area in Yemen. The population is Sunni so they will welcome the Saudi…
Derin Devlet Should Protect the LGBTQI Community in Turkey
The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence machinery would be particularly well-advised to protect the Turkish LGBTQI community against Erdogan’s recent campaign of anti-LGBTQI persecution. LGBTQI emancipation and women’s rights are important elements in secularism and Erdogan’s reach needs to be constrained and eventually curtailed. LGBTQI rights and freedoms need to be an important…
Saudi Regional Policy Needs to Return to Clarity
MBS originally had a clear Mideast policy, opposition to Islamists everywhere domestically and internationally based on the correct insight that all Islamist entities and organizations have interests that are diametrically opposed to those of the Kingdom under MBS. There was clarity in policy, oppose Islamism everywhere and align with the adversaries of Islamism everywhere. Then…
On Kemalism
It is becoming increasingly clear that the AKP regime in Turkey is an emerging existential threat against the Jewish state. It is also clear that the AKP regime plans to take over the full sponsorship of Hamas and Hezbollah when the Khomeinist regime falls. This makes the question of Kemalism once more very relevant. The…
A Vision of Stability in the Middle East
Israel’s strategic goals for the region will generate peace; great and lasting stability throughout the Middle East and are all intertwined with letting Median Jews immigrate to Israel. Israel’s dilemma is that prematurely officially declaring Median Jews as Jews with full immigration rights to Israel will expose them to potentially severe persecution and even genocide…
Why not Consider the Consequences?
Critics in Israel have long questioned the peace industry’s projects such the failed Oslo process, the disastrously failed Disengagement from Gaza and immensely dangerous unconditional Palestinian statehood. They are part of a larger pattern of Palestinian dystopian project. The Palestinians also launched civil wars in both Jordan and Lebanon. Wherever the Palestinian movement creates a…
A Palestinian Peace Movement
The Israeli peace movement is known for its understanding of Palestinian perspectives and selective espousal of Palestinian advocacy in the perceived interest of the Jewish state. A Palestinian peace movement would similarly be known for its understanding of Israeli perspectives and selective espousal of Israeli advocacy in the interest of a future Palestinian state. No…
The Equation
I have in this diplomatic blog recently suggested a different two-state solution than the conventional one usually implied whereby Israel is reduced to the indefensible Jordanian-Israeli 1949 armistice lines. The latter will never happen for a number of reasons. 1) It is not in the interest of Israel’s survival to be reduced to the Auschwitz…
MBS’ Failure
Imagine if there had been an established regional defense alliance involving Israel, the countries of the Arabian peninsula and other Arab states threatened by Iran and its proxies in the Middle East before the outbreak of the 2026 Iran war? Any attack on one member state would be construed as an attack on all member…
Deconstructing a Failed European Paradigm
The prevailing European assumption is that Jerusalem decides whether there will be a Palestinian state while Ramallah determines its borders. They have not considered whether the reverse is true, meaning that Palestinians could well have a state if they de-radicalized (the vast majority of Israelis would support it and it is thus an exclusively Palestinian…
