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”
Why a Palestinian State Won’t Happen
Western international recognition of a a non-existent so-called ”Palestinian state” will have three consequences: 1) realization of Israeli sovereignty on something like 50% of Judea and Samaria, 2) Israeli government recognition of all Israeli outposts on state lands and 3) the final end of Palestinian-Israeli final status negotiations which were always a farce anyway. WhatContinue reading “Why a Palestinian State Won’t Happen”
Does the PA want a Palestinian State?
What does Fatah/PLO/PA want strategically speaking? They absolutely do not want to end the conflict and will not sign a document to that effect under any circumstances considering that their strategy is to destroy Israel in stages. So do they want a Palestinian state side by side with Israel? The answer is yes, but notContinue reading “Does the PA want a Palestinian State?”
A Shorter Intensive War or a Longer Less Intensive One?
Recently has the view come out from Washington according to which the Biden administration prefers a less intensive war in Gaza and is pressuring Israel in that direction. But does the White House realize that a less intensive war means a longer war and is that really in the interest of either the United StatesContinue reading “A Shorter Intensive War or a Longer Less Intensive One?”
What the PA Wants
Recently has the international debate been rekindled regarding what is referred to as ”the two-state solution”. But what is the real position of Fatah/PLO/PA in all this? The Palestinian side has no interest whatsoever in terminating the conflict – what Israelis refer to as ”a negotiated end of claims” and what Palestinians refer to asContinue reading “What the PA Wants”
Israel’s Severe Mistake Must be Corrected
Long before this war I advocated an IAF public war log where for every air strike in Gaza a post with extremely detailed information would be published. Every conceivable information would be provided short of compromising intelligence sources and the IAF itself and its staff. The point is to provide as much information as conceivablyContinue reading “Israel’s Severe Mistake Must be Corrected”
Palestinian Statehood will Never Happen
Why will Palestinian statehood never happen? First because neither side sincerely believes in a two-state solution. Second because it cannot be imposed for the simple reasons that the PA has no interest in ending the conflict and Israel will not sacrifice its security, defense and existence no matter the foreign pressure. The withdrawal from GazaContinue reading “Palestinian Statehood will Never Happen”
A War to Liberate 8 Million Median Jews
The US government has always wanted to ”resolve” the conflict between Israel and those who seek her destruction. Nowadays is the US focus more on the official panacea than actually ending the conflict. The problem is the following, peace is not and was never was possible with those who seek Israel’s destruction. Peace is inContinue reading “A War to Liberate 8 Million Median Jews”
It’s Always Too Many Enemy Civilian Casualties in Gaza
Israel always faces the same criticism from Western allies whenever there is an armed conflict with Hamas and/or PIJ in Gaza. ‘Too many enemy civilians die’ despite the average mortality rate per air strike in the current conflict being less than 1,0. And when the enemy civilian casualties are few that is the subject ofContinue reading “It’s Always Too Many Enemy Civilian Casualties in Gaza”
Direct Diplomatic Relations Between Derin Devlet and the Israeli Deep State
Do direct diplomatic ties between the Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet and the Israeli Deep State already exist? If they don’t, then both parties would be particularly well-advised to establish such a relationship. It is not only that they have much in common, both parties could benefit quite substantially from a direct relationship without having to goContinue reading “Direct Diplomatic Relations Between Derin Devlet and the Israeli Deep State”
The Kurds are Israel’s Partner for Peace
It has long been claimed that the terrorism-inciting Palestinian Authority is Israel’s partner for peace, however today almost no one in the international community believes in such a ”partnership”, despite this so-called ”community” almost universally paying lip service to that very misconception. The truth is rather that the Kurds are Israel’s partner for peace, notContinue reading “The Kurds are Israel’s Partner for Peace”
There Will Never be a Palestinian State
There was once a certain determinism in the international community. The widespread diplomatic recognition of the non-existent ”Palestinian state” over the past decades was to a significant degree driven by the determinist view that the establishment of a Palestinian state was somehow ”inevitable”. This is no longer so as few in the international community nowadaysContinue reading “There Will Never be a Palestinian State”
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”
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””
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

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”
