Will Tehran persuade Hamas and Islamic Jihad to open a southern front against Israel in the upcoming war between Hezbollah and Israel? While it could be argued that Hezbollah has enough missiles themselves and don’t need the participation of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, it could nevertheless be useful from the perspective of Hezbollah to divertContinue reading “Will there be a Southern Front?”

Diversity of Median Judaism
All Jewish peoples have their own distinctive form of Judaism and it would not be intellectually honest to claim that Median Judaism is a single religion. There has been so much divergence, developments and geographic separation since the Assyrian deportations 27 centuries ago. Median Judaism is truly a world religion or rather a series ofContinue reading “Diversity of Median Judaism”
The International Community is Finally Waking Up
The international community is finally showing some signs of waking up. There is not yet full realization that Iran has long since strategically decided to ditch the JCPOA, yet the reality is beginning to seep in. France speaks of “diplomatic escalation”, yet it is unclear however if this includes snapback sanctions for this is aContinue reading “The International Community is Finally Waking Up”
Uniting the Peoples of Israel
The Jewish people is ethnically, culturally, linguistically, racially, genetically and religiously diverse yet it is one people living in many countries around the world, albeit once more centred in the land of Israel. The existence of the small Samaritan people has always been known to rabbinic Jews but the rediscovery of Median Jewry and MedianContinue reading “Uniting the Peoples of Israel”
What is Israel’s Strategy on Median Jewry?
The State of Israel has known about the existence of Median Jewry for half a decade now, yet has remained quiet on the subject so as not to antagonize the Erdogan regime in Ankara considering that the vast majority of Median Jews in the Middle East live within the boundaries of the Republic of Turkey.Continue reading “What is Israel’s Strategy on Median Jewry?”

These are Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki and Shafi’i. In addition are there the heterodox Sunni Ahmadiyya who believe that the expected Mahdi (messiah) has already arrived. Ahmadiyya are neverthelessContinue reading “Median Jews are not Muslims”
The False Choice between a Two-State Solution and a One-State Solution
It is commonly presented that Israel somehow “has to choose” between a so-called “two state solution” (that would calamitously endanger Israeli security) and a so-called “one-state solution” (that would endanger the very existence of the Jewish people). This is a patently false choice. A so-called “two-state solution” is impossible because a wall-to-wall consensus in PalestinianContinue reading “The False Choice between a Two-State Solution and a One-State Solution”
Harming Israel does not help the Palestinians
For 73 years have Palestinian nationalists and other Anti-Zionists worldwide peddled the ingrained myth that harming Israel militarily, security-wise, politically, economically, culturally and academically will somehow help the Palestinians. It just does not work that way. No effort at harming Israel has ever helped the Palestinians. It has been tried over and over again forContinue reading “Harming Israel does not help the Palestinians”
Israel’s Haredi Dilemma
Israel’s Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) population explosion poses multiple dilemmas to Israeli long-term planners. One thing that is clear is that Israeli liberal democracy will not be able to survive and in its stead there will need to be a system of liberal guided democracy. It will still be a democracy but not a liberal democracy. ThereContinue reading “Israel’s Haredi Dilemma”
