USA President Donald J. Trump is rightfully committed to diplomatic resolution of hot conflicts around the world, but US diplomacy also needs to become visionary and preemptive in the sense as preventing future wars around the world from breaking out at all. One such risk of war breaking out in the future is between IsraelContinue reading “Ensuring Stability in the Middle East”

The Path to Palestinian Statehood
Under the current circumstances a so-called two-state solution is not possible. Delineating the path towards Palestinian statehood is however possible already at present. It is not true that a Palestinian state is the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An Israeli-Jordanian solution is in principle possible and Jordan wants it although it will not publiclyContinue reading “The Path to Palestinian Statehood”
Stability in Syria
USA President Donald J. Trump is a strong leader who rightly prioritizes stability in Syria. However, without minority rights there will be neither stability nor peaceful coexistence. Israel’s alliance with the regional majorities, ”minority” communities of Syria is as ironclad as the US alliance with Israel. The Druze and the Kurds de facto already ruleContinue reading “Stability in Syria”
The Iranian Conundrum
Iran politically resembles a Swiss cheese full of Mossad agents in its cavities both inside the regime and among the opposition. It is no exaggeration to point out that Israel is capable of unleashing a multi-generational popular revolution in Iran. Air strikes against the regime’s political and security infrastructures would undoubtedly trigger a nationwide revolution.Continue reading “The Iranian Conundrum “
The Pathway to Peace
The Twenty Point Peace Plan put Champion of Peace, USA President Donald J. Trump firmly behind Israel’s position of Strategic Victory in Gaza and it worked. The US-Israel special relationship is stronger than ever and crucially more effective than ever before. Although pundits in the media falsely and consistently claim that President Trump’s plan isContinue reading “The Pathway to Peace”
Anti-Zionism is Incompatible with a Two-State Solution
The term antisemitism has two valid meanings. The history of Jew-hatred exhibits three historical stages: 1) The first is Anti-Judaism which targeted Jews because of their religion and so Jews who fully opted out of Judaism also became exempt from Anti-Judaism. 2) The second is antisemitism in the narrow sense which targeted Jews because ofContinue reading “Anti-Zionism is Incompatible with a Two-State Solution”
After the Twenty Point Plan
How will the Hamas thug leaders react to the international peace plan as drawn up by the Trump administration? Hamas will either reject the plan altogether or demand revisions requiring Israeli capitulation as opposed to Hamas’ complete capitulation as required by the international peace plan as supported by Arab and Muslim nations. Even Fatah (surprise,Continue reading “After the Twenty Point Plan”
Witkoff Plan Omits Palestinian De-Radicalization in Judea and Samaria
US envoy Steve Witkoff’s 21 point plan appears to have been written in haste, carelessly and omits the most important aspect, namely de-radicalization in Judea and Samaria and not only in the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, the PA cannot be offered a state without prior comprehensive de-radicalization, including discrediting of all Jew hatred whether Anti-Judaism (againstContinue reading “Witkoff Plan Omits Palestinian De-Radicalization in Judea and Samaria”
The EU Imposes Master-Slave Morality & Utilitarianism on the Jews
The Zionist movement was launched in the 1890s in no insignificant part by Jewish intellectuals influenced by the pro-Jewish philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The idea was to get rid of European slave morality and chart a new route as free people in their own country without neither slave morality nor master morality. Utilitarianism is aContinue reading “The EU Imposes Master-Slave Morality & Utilitarianism on the Jews”
Saudi Arabia Needs to Rethink its Rhetoric vis-a-vis Israel
MBS needs to seriously reconsider official Saudi rhetoric towards Israel if he wants to gain support in Congress, including a two-thirds majority for a USA-KSA defense treaty in the US Senate. The US Congress is not merely pro-Israel, creating doubt about the Saudi-American-Israeli triangular relationship is myopic to say the least. It is quite understandableContinue reading “Saudi Arabia Needs to Rethink its Rhetoric vis-a-vis Israel”
Doha can’t have its Cake and Eat it Too
Qatar has long played a double game of supporting and funding Sunni Islamism such as the global Muslim Brotherhood and a wide range of Sunni Jihadist terrorist organizations around the world while maintaining excellent connections with every state in the world, including Israel, the US and Iran. The apparently successful Israeli elimination of Hamas leadersContinue reading “Doha can’t have its Cake and Eat it Too”
President Trump needs to Speak Up
Israel is under global pressure to prematurely agree to the creation of a Palestinian state even without deradicalization of Palestinian society and without defensible borders for Israel. What scenario would inevitably play out? Hamas would take over Judea and Samaria since there is no chance for survival of the Abbas regime without the Israeli militaryContinue reading “President Trump needs to Speak Up”
Peace on Israel’s Terms
Israeli governments have historically created a pattern where they were ready to cede and indeed expected to cede the optimum in negotiations with Arab interlocutors for negotiation. This created excessive, indeed optimal expectations among those negotiating with Israel. The question that needs to be asked is who needs peace the most, Israel or Arab governments? Continue reading “Peace on Israel’s Terms”
There is still no Palestinian Partner for Peace Yet
Mahmoud Abbas the dictator and his international allies demand to unconditionally receive a Palestinian state at the Israeli-Jordanian 1949 armistice lines, an agreement which specifically specified that these should not be misconstrued as borders. US president Donald J. Trump is right and justified to not issue American entry visas to the Palestinian Authority delegation forContinue reading “There is still no Palestinian Partner for Peace Yet”
Washington and Jerusalem need a Joint Iran Strategy
Israel and America’s 12-day war against the Mullah regime was very successful yet will have to be repeated two years from now against Iran’s rebuilt nuclear weapons program. President Donald J. Trump needs to carefully reconsider his opposition to helping unseat the totalitarian clerical tyranny. What would happen in Iran if there were a successfulContinue reading “Washington and Jerusalem need a Joint Iran Strategy”
Israel Applying Sovereignty will Bring Lasting Peace
According to a poll in recent months, 50% of the population of the strip wish to leave Gaza and emigrate to another country. It is highly likely that the humanitarian crisis means that most of the other half of the population wish to emigrate as well to avoid further suffering. Champion of peace, US presidentContinue reading “Israel Applying Sovereignty will Bring Lasting Peace”
Israel Promotes American Interests in the Middle East
There is a growing view in Europe among leaders and diplomats, particularly in France that Israel has become too strong and victorious and ”must be put in its proper place”, meaning the weak and dead Jews rather than free and strong and in pursuit of joint American-Israeli interests. Europeans should be told in no uncertainContinue reading “Israel Promotes American Interests in the Middle East”
No to Forever Wars in Gaza
Why has the Gaza war gone on as long as it has? Israel was under pressure from the Biden administration which long prevented an Israeli victory. Israel must liberate the entire Gaza region from Hamas thugs and thus stabilize the area. Will this end the conflict? Not quite. However concentrating Gazans to the Rafah areaContinue reading “No to Forever Wars in Gaza”
Washington Should Threaten the EU with Consequences
It is a key US interest that Israel wins the Gaza war, ends the Hamas terrorist regime, safely relocates those Gazans who wish to relocate to yet other countries, establishes peace in the area and that Israel remains prosperous and strong. This is the way to end the current suffering and insecurity. The alternative asContinue reading “Washington Should Threaten the EU with Consequences”
Remove MENA Category
The intention behind the 2024 Biden administration decision to officially categorize Americans from the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) as a distinct statistical category separate from ”whites” was antisemitic in intention. The decision was the result of extensive pressure on the Biden administration by the Islamist lobby such as the Muslim Brotherhood outfitContinue reading “Remove MENA Category”
America First Means Bombing Fordow
The US can not tolerate the Mullah regime acquiring nuclear weapons and so the US must take out the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant with MOABs since this is beyond Israel’s capacity as Jerusalem has neither B2 aircraft nor MOABs. Iran means what it says when it calls the US the ”Great Satan” and chant ”DeathContinue reading “America First Means Bombing Fordow”
Rejecting Divide and Rule
Erdogan the tyrant feels truly threatened by Israel’s alliance with the Kurds and hence his recent gambit to break up this alliance through divide and rule. Deals with the Devil cannot be trusted as the Kurds know well and Erdogan and MHP surely plan to abandon the Kurds and deprive them of rights once moreContinue reading “Rejecting Divide and Rule”
Restoring Liberal Democracy in Israel
The nation of Israel faces a looming political war between two democratically illegitimate entities. One which has almost destroyed democracy and turned it into puppet theater and one that seeks to destroy what is left through ”Hungarization”. Neither of the two camps are the good guys. Nor is the opposition in the Knesset good guysContinue reading “Restoring Liberal Democracy in Israel”
Understanding Israel’s Deep State
Israel’s Deep State is run by Modern Orthodox Religious Zionists but to say that the Deep State is rightwing would be a misstatement. Israel’s Deep State represent what they understand as the deeper national interest and is extremely active in all streams of Zionism. The Deep State rightly believes that it is a national interestContinue reading “Understanding Israel’s Deep State”
What is the Palestinian Interest?
A week ago or so I had an interesting discussion with a Palestinian friend of mine and we exchanged pleasantries in Arabic before continuing in Swedish. My friend believes that a two-state solution will bring peace. So I humbly explained to him that this was not the Palestinian interest. First this is not how PalestinianContinue reading “What is the Palestinian Interest?”
Rethinking Israel’s Deep State
The purpose and mandate of the Israeli Deep State as apparently established by Menachem Begin in the late 1970s is to protect the Jewish and democratic nature of the State of Israel through covert action in Israeli society. Israel’s Deep State is contrary to general belief run by an elite unit of national religious intelligenceContinue reading “Rethinking Israel’s Deep State”
It’s All About China Stupid!
For three decades the West mismanaged the Russia file. By expanding NATO and the EU eastwards without considering making Russia a candidate for membership in either organization, the West effectively created a monster in Moscow. The only real threat against Russia does not come from Europe and America but rather from China which in aContinue reading “It’s All About China Stupid!”
The Arabs Missed Another Opportunity to Make Themselves Relevant
Egypt’ Gaza reconstruction plan is a sophisticated piece of propaganda that completely ignores the presence of Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip. There is no mention of demilitarization, permanent settlement of descendant of refugees and Arab forces to replace the Jihadists or any ideas about how to prevent Hamas from resuming theContinue reading “The Arabs Missed Another Opportunity to Make Themselves Relevant”
Facing the Truth About Egypt
Egypt is planning to destroy Israel. From cold peace partner Egypt has transitioned into an existential enemy of Israel. Egypt is building offensive bases in north Sinai in contravention of the peace treaty between the two nations and Egypt actively supports Hamas. Jerusalem would be particularly well-advised to communicate to Cairo that not only willContinue reading “Facing the Truth About Egypt”
A Strong Israel Makes America Great
America’s policy towards Israel for most of the past half century has been based on reining in Israel’s political power while enhancing only Israel’s military power in terms of purchase of American military hardware. President Trump made great strides towards changing this policy during his first administration and his second term offers the opportunity toContinue reading “A Strong Israel Makes America Great”
Trump is Right
Palestinians in Gaza, indeed Palestinians in Judea and Samaria as well, should be offered the option of immigrating to Arab countries. This must be a strictly voluntary option albeit an economically and civically attractive one. This is in no way contrary to international law and could indeed facilitate a one-state solution.
Preserving Turkish-Israeli Relations
The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to to make sure that President Erdogan does not break/suspend/cut diplomatic ties with Israel and also does not withdraw international international recognition of Israel.
Heine’s Dilemma Once More
Contemporary Diaspora Jews face the dilemma of renouncing the territorial part of their Jewish identity and heritage or else face bullying and ostracism. This is quite similar to what Jews faced in Heinrich Heine’s time when Jews had to leave their entire Jewish identity and heritage for Christianity in order to as Heine put itContinue reading “Heine’s Dilemma Once More”
Universal Jurisdiction – the Crime of Antisemitism
The State of Israel, the only contemporary Jewish state among the community of sovereign nations needs to make a bold move to counter the most prominent manifestations of antisemitism around the world. A permanent independent tribunal needs to be set up in Israel to prosecute the crime of antisemitism with universal jurisdiction under Israeli law.Continue reading “Universal Jurisdiction – the Crime of Antisemitism”
Israel’s War on Terror
Israel is engaged in its own War on Terror which it needs to win despite innumerable diplomatic attempts by the Biden administration to impede Israeli victory. Hamas, PIJ and Hezbollah must be annihilated and Israel is able to do the job. In fact, this is a United States national interest so it is completely bizarreContinue reading “Israel’s War on Terror”
The Time War
The conventional understanding of the war in Gaza is that it takes place exclusively in a spatial place, yet its temporal dimension is yet to be investigated. A temporal analysis offer much different results than a spatial one in the Gaza theater.
Understanding Hamas
Why is Hamas acting the way it does in the war in Gaza and why does it behave it does in the indirect negotiations with Israel? Hamas has prepared for this war for two decades and has a fixed long-term strategy with long beforehand decided-on military tactics. Hamas is well-prepared and has for many yearsContinue reading “Understanding Hamas”
European Hysteria
Josep Borrell’s recent initiative to sanction Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich is clearly in reaction to the Jewish prostrations and loud Jewish prayers on the Eastern side of the Temple Mount. What then about the status quo? The truth is that the status quo has been continually evolving, including the construction in recent years ofContinue reading “European Hysteria”
No Southern Adventure
War between the Iranian Axis and Israel is inevitable at some point and the development of the Iranian nuclear weapons programs is a determinative factor. Regional war prior to the neutralization of Iran’s nuke program is highly unlikely due to neither side wishing it. Israel still has work to do in Gaza considering that notContinue reading “No Southern Adventure”
Reining in Erdogan
It is not the first time that President Erdogan has entertained delusions of grandeur about invading Gaza. Turkey’s Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to timely and firmly so block any Turkish plan to invade or attack Israel and/or Gaza, Judea and Samaria.
Ramallah’s Grand Diplomatic Strategy
International recognition of the hypothetical Palestinian state is becoming increasingly universal. Israel has for decades anticipated that universal or near-universal diplomatic recognition appears inevitable and will happen one day. Israel’s strategy is to apply de facto sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria in anticipation of that day and has long prepared for that momentContinue reading “Ramallah’s Grand Diplomatic Strategy”
Who Wants What and When?
There is some confusion in Washington these days as to the belligerent intentions of the Iranian Axis. Does Tehran believe that it is effectively deterring Jerusalem and Washington from neutralizing Iran’s nuclear weapons program? The answer is yes in the affirmative. Still Iran does not discount the possibility of a preemptive attack against its nuclearContinue reading “Who Wants What and When?”
How the US Prevents Peace in the Middle East
Israel’s peace agreements with Arab and Muslim countries were all achieved through the victory paradigm. Israel’s former foes realized that the Jewish state could not be defeated, is here to stay and they began to act accordingly. Israel however has not decisively won an armed conflict since 1967 and this non-victory state of things hasContinue reading “How the US Prevents Peace in the Middle East”
Understanding Hamas
Why is Hamas engaging in never-ending indirect negotiations with Israel through international mediators, i.e. the US, Qatar and Egypt? The answer is simple: Hamas gains international legitimacy. Hamas is absolutely serious about not releasing the hostages unless Israel withdraws from Gaza and the way Hamas sees it, the international community supports Hamas and opposes Israel.Continue reading “Understanding Hamas”
The Turkish Trade Embargo Against Israel Should be Rescinded
Early reports inform us that President Erdogan is aiming to impose a total trade embargo against Israel. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus should move speedily to rescind this embargo which harms both Turkey and Israel.
Calling the US Bluff
What is the US policy on war and peace in the Middle East? Contrary to the common perception of US policy, the US seeks to weaken Israel so as to maintain Israel in a client position as weak and dependent. The US does not want Israel to emerge as a great power in the regionContinue reading “Calling the US Bluff”
The Evacuation of Rafah
The US has long objected to Israeli plans for the evacuation of civilians from Rafah, including describing some as ”unviable”. In order to act constructively and maintain influence over the Israeli decision-making process, the US government should instead come up with its own ”viable” plan for the evacuation of civilians from Rafah and propose thisContinue reading “The Evacuation of Rafah”
Rebuttal of Senator Schumer’s Biden Surrogate Speech
Let’s be clear, I have no ideological problem with a Palestinian state next to Israel. However, creating a Palestinian state either through consent or coercion just is not possible and it is not desirable for either side for reasons that I will elaborate below. Israel experimented with creating a Palestinian state in Gaza and weContinue reading “Rebuttal of Senator Schumer’s Biden Surrogate Speech”
Israeli Victory is an American Interest
The US generally supports Israel in its wars but as a rule seek to prevent Israeli victory. This has been a general pattern since 1973. This is rather strange since Israeli victory is conducive to peaceful outcomes. The US needs to reassess its own unproductive behavior which perpetuates instability. Yes, it is true that RafahContinue reading “Israeli Victory is an American Interest”
It’s Anti-Semitism Stupid
Why is a Jewish state an absolute necessity? Because of antisemitism, including among Palestinians and Arabs. Why is an end-of-claims final status agreement not possible? It is true that Palestinians have real grievances and material claims but the conflict against Israel is fueled and motivated by antisemitism considering that Palestinians are the most antisemitic peopleContinue reading “It’s Anti-Semitism Stupid”
