The PA (the Palestinian Authority) through Palestinian intelligence is running a global campaign to discredit Israel by means of the Anti-Semitic Apartheid libel which is premised on the Nazi idea that the multiracial Jewish nation with converts from all racial origins ostensibly is a “racial group”. This is the main purpose of the BDS (Boycott,Continue reading “The Intention behind the Apartheid Libel”

The Jews and the Left
Israel relies on bipartisan support in the United States Congress. Of course, the US-Israeli alliance would survive without congressional support since this special relationship is built upon common interests between the two nations. Saudi Arabia does not enjoy support in the US Congress and presidential candidate Joe Biden was intensely critical of Saudi Arabia. YetContinue reading “The Jews and the Left”
Indigenous Construction is not Irrational
The general international perception of the indigenous restoration project in Judea and Samaria is that it is fundamentally irrational and that demographic trends work against Israel and Zionism. The Israeli calculation was always that demography and time are on Israel’s side and that was and remains no doubt a correct assessment. This estimate has beenContinue reading “Indigenous Construction is not Irrational”
Jews must Reappropriate Intersectionality
Zionism was once championed by the political left in the West when Israel had a democratic socialist economy dominated by collectives, cooperatives and union-owned industries. Israel has since 1977 left socialism in eventually becoming the most high tech economy in the world with the Israeli high tech sector accounting for 40% of Israeli exports. YetContinue reading “Jews must Reappropriate Intersectionality”
Explaining the Next Gaza War
Why is the predominant international reaction every time Israel wages war in Gaza that 1) Israel must restrain itself, 2) there are too many civilian deaths and 3) Israel must immediately cease its operations? Israel is intensely suspicious of foreign countries and their intentions towards Israel and there are mutual suspicions against Israel. This hasContinue reading “Explaining the Next Gaza War”
Israel is too Secretive
One common error in the intelligence world is exaggerated secrecy. There is much information in intelligence archives around the world that should be declassified and made available to historians, journalists and the general public just as the East German Stasi archives were made completely public. Informational compartmentalization also creates myopia in there being few peopleContinue reading “Israel is too Secretive”
The Strategic Road Grid of Judea and Samaria
Israel has historically deliberately made the impression that the restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria were founded largely at random by religious and nationalist pioneers and independently of the defense establishment. This is not the case as those communities were all established on public lands and in strategic locations. The Israeli road network inContinue reading “The Strategic Road Grid of Judea and Samaria”
Why Insist on the Impossible?
The Biden administration is well aware that Mahmoud Abbas is no partner for the much touted two-state solution. Mahmoud Abbas is tactically pragmatic but strategically rigid and his successor will be no less strategically rigid but possibly less pragmatic. The Palestinian Authority insists on flooding Israel with millions of Anti-Zionists and the goal is toContinue reading “Why Insist on the Impossible?”
Why did Saddam Hussein not Turn Over his WMD to the UN?
Saddam Hussein is known to have had weapons of mass destruction and he used chemical weapons against his own Kurdish citizens and against the Iranian military. The pacifist myth according to which Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction was an American propaganda fabrication therefore does not hold water. There was a United Nations inspections regimeContinue reading “Why did Saddam Hussein not Turn Over his WMD to the UN?”
Demographic Implications of Median Jewish Fertility Rates
Median Jewish mass Aliyah (immigration) to Israel in the tens of millions will enable Israel to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria. The question then is at what volume of Median Jewish Aliyah will Israel realistically be able to apply sovereignty to the entire Judea and Samaria? It needs to be emphasized thatContinue reading “Demographic Implications of Median Jewish Fertility Rates”
Israel needs Prepare International Community for Annexations
With tens of millions of Median Jewish immigrants to Israel will Israel certainly be able to realize its long-term plan to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria. How long will it take before the dream of returning the descendants of the deported ten Israelite tribes to the land of Israel, will be realized?Continue reading “Israel needs Prepare International Community for Annexations”
A Most Implacable Enemy
Palestinians are the most Anti-Semitic population in the world. 93% of Palestinians in Judea/Samaria and Gaza are Anti-Semites and no less than 28% of Israeli Palestinians deny the Holocaust. The perception towards Jews is overwhelmingly hostile among Palestinians. The Palestinian narrative denies thousands of years of Jewish history in the land of Israel prior toContinue reading “A Most Implacable Enemy”
Indigenous Construction does not Thwart Two-State Solution
Recently did an anonymous Palestinian official claim that the Palestinian Authority and the US government see eye to eye on the question of restorative indigenous communities and ostensibly agree that the indigenous restoration project in Judea and Samaria is designed to thwart a two-state solution. Nothing could be further from the truth. The indigenous restorationContinue reading “Indigenous Construction does not Thwart Two-State Solution”
The Unfounded US Obsession with Indigenous Construction
US President Joe Biden is known for his long-standing opposition to the indigenous restoration project in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. His opposition to indigenous construction spans decades and is founded in genuine demographic concerns for Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state. The leftwing Zionists never had the facts on their side as theContinue reading “The Unfounded US Obsession with Indigenous Construction”
International Community Should Recognize Death of Two-State Solution
The so-called “two-state solution” is dead and was always stillborn. The international community needs to internalize that neither a “two-state solution” nor a “one-state solution” is feasible but rather what is realistic is Israel redeeming and enfranchising the entire Judea and Samaria once Israel has received at least 10 million Median Jewish immigrants. Israel’s populationContinue reading “International Community Should Recognize Death of Two-State Solution”
Will International Community Retract Partial International Recognition from Ramallah?
Median Jewish Mass Aliyah (immigration) will lead to Israel redeeming and enfranching the entire Judea and Samaria and for the Jordanian monarchy to subsequently annex Gaza. This will only happen after Israel has received approximately 10 million Median Jewish immigrants. These changes of sovereignty will probably not be immediately diplomatically recognized by most of theContinue reading “Will International Community Retract Partial International Recognition from Ramallah?”
The Changing Israeli Equation in US Domestic Politics
Israel is losing support among Democratic voters, including among young assimilating Jews, a large minority of whom are who are turning Anti-Zionist. The Jewish electorate is progressively disappearing to assimilation and the only American Jews who will remain Jewish are Orthodox American Jews and American Jews in Israel. Israel is also losing much ground amongContinue reading “The Changing Israeli Equation in US Domestic Politics”
The Challenge of Absorbing Tens of Millions of Median Jews
There are tens of millions of Median Jews in the Middle East and beyond with the largest demographic concentration being in Turkey. Nearly all Median Jews live in countries that are significantly less economically developed than Israel and hence moving to Israel – one of the 20 most developed economies – will prove very attractiveContinue reading “The Challenge of Absorbing Tens of Millions of Median Jews”
Support for Two-State Solution is Support for Status Quo
There is an international consensus that supporting a so-called “two-state solution” promotes peace. However, all evidence suggests otherwise. Rather, support for a so-called “two-state solution” in practice reinforces the status quo since supporting a “two-state solution” means not resolving the conflict. It should be noted however that for the moment the status quo is theContinue reading “Support for Two-State Solution is Support for Status Quo”
Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?
Palestinian diplomats have persuaded diplomats from Europe and many nations that Palestinian negotiators are actually highly flexible. The only thing this proves is that Palestinian diplomats are highly adept at diplomatic deception. Every time there has been an attempted final status negotiation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have Palestinian negotiators demanded that Israel capitulateContinue reading “Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?”
The Two-State Solution that Never Was
It is generally assumed that a so-called “two-state solution” along the lines of a return plus-minus to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines is in the interest of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It is also claimed that if this particular version of a two-state solution (there are others) becomes impossible (it is already impossible), thenContinue reading “The Two-State Solution that Never Was”
Restorative Indigenous Construction is Rational
There has long been an assumption in the international community that the restorative indigenous construction project in Judea and Samaria is the result of excessive nationalism of politically conservative Revisionist Zionism and rightwing Modern Orthodox Religious Zionism. It has not been understood that the restorative indigenous communities were not founded at random but are aContinue reading “Restorative Indigenous Construction is Rational”
BDS is not What it Claims to Be
Proponents of BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) want to pressure the Jewish state out of existence. But what is the real purpose of the BDS movement as a product of international political action by Palestinian Authority intelligence? The PA knows perfectly well that it is not possible to pressure Israel into committing national suicide, inContinue reading “BDS is not What it Claims to Be”
Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question
The Zionist radical left in Israel and the international community entertain the idea of appeasing the official demand of the Palestinian Authority that Israel returns to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines with minor “exchanges” of territory. The Zionist radical left imagines that this would involve the deportation of at least 100 000 Jews from their homesContinue reading “Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question”
Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work
When the Israeli government initiated what became the Oslo process was it quite aware that no end-of-claims final status agreement was possible with the PLO. Yet, the opened-eyed, realistic Israeli government initiated the Oslo process with the goal of establishing a Palestinian autonomy, something that was accepted by both Likud and Labor and was anchoredContinue reading “Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work”
Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace
Why is the international community insisting on stigmatizing restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria as so-called “obstacles to peace” when the Kushner peace map proves that they are manifestly not obstacles to partition? In fact, the unpublished Israeli partition map which provided the blueprint for the establishment of the restorative indigenous communities throughout JudeaContinue reading “Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace”
There was Never a Time for a Palestinian State
EU representative in Ramallah Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff claims that “time is running out on the two-state solution” as if a two-state solution was ever possible. He peddles false claims according to which the building of Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem prevents a Palestinian state as if Israel would ever agree to redivide Jerusalem. The KushnerContinue reading “There was Never a Time for a Palestinian State”
Jews are NOT a Race
The anti-Jewish Apartheid libel is based on the notion that the Jews of Israel are a racial group that oppresses the Palestinians who ostensibly also are “a racial group”. It is of course complete nonsense to claim that Jews and Palestinians are different racial groups. Various Palestinian local communities have different origins but the majorityContinue reading “Jews are NOT a Race”
Jordan and Gaza
The elected Jordanian government officially claims that there is no alternative to establishing a Palestinian state despite this being entirely unfeasible. However, the real decision-making in Jordan lies with the monarchy and there is no doubt that the Jordanian monarchy would be extremely happy to annex Gaza which would give Jordan a coastline along theContinue reading “Jordan and Gaza”
Imposing a No-Fly Zone over Iran
President Joe Biden continues the Trump administration policy of disengaging from Islamdom and outsourcing its superpower responsibilities to Israel by promoting Israeli normalization with nations of Islamdom. The US is engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts to persuade nations of Islamdom to normalize relations with Israel. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has already in principleContinue reading “Imposing a No-Fly Zone over Iran”
Ein Brira
There is a Hebrew expression for a situation in which Israel has no choice but to wage war no matter the cost. That expression is ein brira which literally means “no choice”. The advanced development of the Iranian nuclear weapons program means that Israel will face a number of wholly predictable, yet inevitable situations ofContinue reading “Ein Brira”
Why the Palestinian Nakba Happened
In 1947 the Palestinian movement started an unprovoked war against the Yishuv, the Jewish population in the land of Israel. The explicit goal was to displace the Jewish population and prevent further Jewish refugees from arriving. It is entirely unclear to where the displaced Jewish population would be deported and the likely outcome had theContinue reading “Why the Palestinian Nakba Happened”
Censuring Indigenous Construction is not an American Interest
The US has a long and unsuccessful policy spanning decades of censuring indigenous construction in Judea and Samaria. Indigenous construction in Judea and Samaria is a vital Israeli national security interest as it prevents return to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines within which Israel could only defend itself through a preemptive offensive attack and effectively forceContinue reading “Censuring Indigenous Construction is not an American Interest”
The Demographics of Median Jewry
What are the demographics of core Median Jewry? There are up to 25 million Median Jews in Turkey although the number could be lower since no statistics exist. There are 7-8 million Median Jews in the rest of the Middle East. There are hundreds of thousands of Median Jews in the Balkans, primarily in Albania.Continue reading “The Demographics of Median Jewry”
Jews are Indigenous to Judea and Samaria
What is conveniently ignored during discussions about the future of Judea and Samaria is that not only are Jews indigenous to the area but Jews hold indigenous rights in Judea and Samaria. Israel is not an occupying power in a legal sense although there is an Israeli military administration over part of the area. RestorativeContinue reading “Jews are Indigenous to Judea and Samaria”
The Palestinian Authority does not Want to End the Conflict
The official “negotiation position” of the Palestinian Authority is that of endless demands leading to the dismantlement of the Jewish state without being interested in offering anything in return. Not only does the Palestinian Authority refuse to negotiate with Israel but it is officially commiitted to its Anti-Zionist ideology of ending the Jewish state. TheContinue reading “The Palestinian Authority does not Want to End the Conflict”
Expecting a Jewish Nakba
The Kushner peace map was not drawn up by Israelis and the Israeli government when officially accepting the Kushner peace plan of course knew that it would be rejected by the Palestinian Authority. The Kushner peace map has its flaws and does not represent the Israeli partition map. What is the Israeli partition map? TheContinue reading “Expecting a Jewish Nakba”
The Future of Metropolitan Jerusalem lies in the Judean Desert
Jerusalem is the largest city in Israel with 900 000 inhabitants. Due to the predominantly religious nature of the Jewish population of Jerusalem, Jewish Jerusalemites have a high natural growth rate. While it will be possible to accommodate some of the population growth by building skyscrapers in the place of current buildings, it is clearContinue reading “The Future of Metropolitan Jerusalem lies in the Judean Desert”
Resolving the Problem is What Matters
There has long been an international fixation on Palestinian statehood and a so-called “two-state solution”. This was ostensibly “the only solution” to the Palestinian problem. Nothing could be more false. The international community has tried to achieve a two-state solution since 1937 and has only seen failure. The international community needs to internalize that whatContinue reading “Resolving the Problem is What Matters”
The Danger of Return to the Auschwitz Lines
Israel has built in Judea and Samaria since the 1970s with the dual strategic goals of 1) preventing a return to what former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban (1915-2002) described as “the Auschwitz lines” from which Israel would only be able to defend itself through preemptive war and 2) eventually redeeming and enfranchising the entireContinue reading “The Danger of Return to the Auschwitz Lines”
Dual Tracks for Alevi Freedom
Israel fears officially recognizing Alevis and other Median Jews as Jewish and eligible for immigration to Israel due the concern that the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Crypto-Islamist AKP regime will impose severe obstacles to Alevi and other Median Jewish Aliyah (immigration) to Israel. This is a well-founded fear as Erdogan does not want Alevis and other MedianContinue reading “Dual Tracks for Alevi Freedom”
Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace
A Palestinian state cannot be established through an end-of-claims final status agreement between Israel and the PLO for the simple reason that there is a consensus in Palestinian society never to resolve the issue of descendants of ex-refugees other than by inundating Israel with millions of Anti-Zionists that would make sure that Israel is replacedContinue reading “Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace”
How to Liberate the Alawites
What alternatives are there for Israel to liberate the 4 million Median Jews (Alawites, Druze, Yezidis and Alevis) of Syria and Lebanon? The Anti-Zionist Lebanese and Syrian regimes would not let them emigrate to Israel. The only way to allow the Alawite and Druze Median Jews to immigrate to Israel would be for Israel toContinue reading “How to Liberate the Alawites”
The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake
It is often claimed the strategically located indigenous restorative communities of Judea and Samaria contravene international law, yet Judea and Samaria is terra nullius and even those who recognize the non-existent “Palestinian state” cannot deny that the area was terra nullius at least prior to 1988, the period when most of those communities were established.Continue reading “The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake”
A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is a Vital US National Security Interest
Israel will destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons program and the attack will likely take place in 2023. The attack would have to be repeated after less than two years and then after less than two years again. These regular attacks would go on indefinitely with intervals of less than two years so as to preventContinue reading “A No-Fly Zone Over Iran is a Vital US National Security Interest”
If You Want Peace – Turn to Ankara
Members of the international community that are eager to resolve the Palestinian issue as soon as possible should turn their attention to Ankara. Many millions of Alevis and other Median Jews want to leave the country, yet Israel has not yet officially declared them Jewish and eligible for Aliyah (immigration) to Israel for fear thatContinue reading “If You Want Peace – Turn to Ankara”
Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue
Many governments around the world are understandably sincerely eager to resolve the protracted Palestinian issue, yet creating a Palestinian state is not within the realm of the possible due to the contradictory demand of the Palestinian side that Israel be demographically flooded with millions of Anti-Zionists, something which if actually realized would turn any two-stateContinue reading “Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue”
Palestinians of Judea and Samaria will Be Loyal Citizens of Israel
Once the Arab residents of Judea and Samaria have been granted Israeli citizenship and the Israeli government has proven that it is also loyal to them will the Arab population there also be loyal to Israel. It is now often conveniently forgotten that the Arabs of Israel lived under Israeli military rule until 1966 yetContinue reading “Palestinians of Judea and Samaria will Be Loyal Citizens of Israel”
The Garden Suburbs in Judea and Samaria
The majority of the strategically located indigenous restorative communities of Judea and Samaria are designed to be garden suburbs of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Beersheba and Haifa. There is not much economy in those communities as most residents commute to the metropolitan areas inside Israel. Contrary to the libelous claims of being designed to be “obstaclesContinue reading “The Garden Suburbs in Judea and Samaria”
Doubling Israel’s Jewish Population
What increase in Israel’s Jewish population is required for Israel to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria? From the Israeli government’s perspective what is probably required is the preservation of the demographic balance between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority. This requires doubling the country’s Jewish population. This could have been achievedContinue reading “Doubling Israel’s Jewish Population”
