Just as there are no good Nazis, there are no good Islamists. It is true that there are Islamists who use the language of superficial moderation but so were there Nazis who did. Is America right to engage with the Shara’a regime in Syria based on Realpolitik? Yes no doubt, but always be aware thatContinue reading “Islamists Cannot be Trusted”

Trump is Playing with Fire
USA President Donald J. Trump is known as an astute politician who is aware of the risks of WWIII and understands the need to avoid it. Unfortunately, US policy in recent months has served to exacerbate the risks of WWIII and therefore also the use of tactical nuclear weapons. It is abundantly clear that PresidentContinue reading “Trump is Playing with Fire”
Pivot to Asia
USA President Donald J. Trump is certainly right to put Khamenei on notice that killing protesters will lead to American intervention. In order to create a new deradicalized Middle East the Mullah monster has to be removed once and for all. Successive American presidents have sought a pivot to Asia but persisted in underestimating theContinue reading “Pivot to Asia”
Trump’s Promise to Muslim Nations is Contingent upon Full Mutual Implementation of the US Peace Plan for Gaza
USA President Donald J. Trump made a promise to leaders of some Muslim nations in the context of what became the 20 point plan for peace in Gaza. President Trump should now emphasize to those leaders that his promise to prevent Israeli application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is entirely contingent upon Hamas implementingContinue reading “Trump’s Promise to Muslim Nations is Contingent upon Full Mutual Implementation of the US Peace Plan for Gaza”
America’s Future is at Stake
All great nations e.g. Spain (post-1492) and Germany (post-1933) that have embraced Jew hatred have faced degeneration and decline. Why are pro-Jewish nations blessed and anti-Jewish nations cursed? The answer is simple. Nations that embrace irrational larger explanations such as scapegoating the Jews will inevitably suffer. The Soviet Union was not only Anti-Jewish, it embracedContinue reading “America’s Future is at Stake”
Why Hamas withholds Ran Gvili’s Body
Hamas does not want to disarm and thus seeks to prevent the next phase in the peace process by not releasing deceased hostage Ran Gvili’s body. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz today announced that Israel will establish indigenous Israeli communities in Gaza. This is what will happen unless Hamas disarms and releases Gvili’s body. ThereContinue reading “Why Hamas withholds Ran Gvili’s Body”
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”
Avoiding WWIII
The 28 point plan has its own logic and its hoped-for consequences would appear to be in some ways consistent with American interests. However, this is not so simple as it would appear from the perspective of the current American administration. Washington wants peace at literally any price and does not take European interests intoContinue reading “Avoiding WWIII”
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”
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”
The US Needs to Pressure Qatar
Is Doha really an ally of Washington? The grim answer is that Qatar behaves like an enemy of the United States of America. Qatar is a geopolitically peculiar country which houses the largest US airbase in CENTCOM and this makes the US highly dependent on Qatar to the degree that the US in the caseContinue reading “The US Needs to Pressure Qatar”
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”
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”
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”
President Trump is Very Smart but the Mullahs are Smarter
President Trump has made a life career in business from being the smartest person in the room, however this does not work when confronted with people who are even smarter. This is what happened to the Iranian file. The American negotiators are showing weakness by not understanding that the Iranian regime will outsmart any internationalContinue reading “President Trump is Very Smart but the Mullahs are Smarter”
Saving the Masalit People
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) perpetrates genocide through repeated massacres against the Masalit people in West Darfur, Sudan. People of conscience everywhere must rise to action and indeed affirm that Black lives matter. Nations that do care about the lives of Black Africans (most people obviously do not) could send forces to protect the Masalit.Continue reading “Saving the Masalit People”
The NATO Paper Tiger Doesn’t Deter Russia
European defense policy is premised on the outdated notion that NATO somehow deters Russia. NATO does not deter Russia as Russia in fact plans to invade EU countries in the years to come. It is absurd that the European Union with 450 million citizens is threatened by the Russian Federation with 140 million citizens andContinue reading “The NATO Paper Tiger Doesn’t Deter Russia”
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”
Trump Shows Europe the Way
US President Donald Trump is exhibiting some tough parenting skills vis-a-vis Europe. Although the GDP of the European Union at 20 trillion USD is not as large as the GDP of the United States at 29 trillion USD, nevertheless the population of the European Union with 450 million citizens is much larger than that ofContinue reading “Trump Shows Europe the Way”
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.
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”
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”
An Opportunity to Renew Confidence with Gulf Allies
After OPEC decided to decrease oil production quotas, the Biden administration determined to conduct a formal reassessment of the US relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. America in effect has no choice but to defend Gulf oil fields against Iran irrespective of what MBS does domestically and internationally and MBS knows it because theContinue reading “An Opportunity to Renew Confidence with Gulf Allies”
Biden has to Choose Between Iran and Saudi Arabia
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has had enough, he does not trust the United States in general and President Biden in particular and for good reasons. Three US presidents (Obama, Trump and Biden) have pursued American disengagement from the Middle East. Trump refrained from defending Saudi Arabia when it was attacked by Iran and MBSContinue reading “Biden has to Choose Between Iran and Saudi Arabia”
The US is to Blame for Failed Mideast Policy
Islamdom is America’s weak spot. George W. Bush tried to democratize Islamdom only to find out that the majority of the electorate in many Muslim nations votes Islamist, meaning that there are no prospects for democratization in many Muslim nations because the majority of the people wants totalitarianism. Yet, Bush’s democratization campaign resulted in theContinue reading “The US is to Blame for Failed Mideast Policy”
Biden Needs to Reassess US Mideast Policy
President Biden is continuing his policy of indefinite nuclear talks with Tehran, refusing to activate Plan B until the very last moment, refusing to impose a no-fly zone in support of the emerging Iranian rebellion while failing or refusing to conclude a defense pact with Saudi Arabia. While visiting Jeddah did Biden claim that itContinue reading “Biden Needs to Reassess US Mideast Policy”
A Colossal Intelligence Failure
The Western intelligence community operates on the assumption that Iran is interested in returning to the JCPOA. Yet, no matter how many times this false belief has been discredited by persistent Iranian rejectionism, the Western intelligence community has clung to this patently false belief. If Iran was motivated primarily by economic imperatives then surely notContinue reading “A Colossal Intelligence Failure”
Nothing Except Military Action Will Stop Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program
There was a disagreement during the meeting in Israel between President Biden and Prime Minister Lapid on the question of Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Prime Minister Lapid insisted that only deterrence would persuade Iran to sign a nuclear agreement while President Biden insisted that diplomacy was still the best way forward. Both are wrong sinceContinue reading “Nothing Except Military Action Will Stop Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program”
President Biden Should Hire Jared Kushner
While it is certainly legitimate to be critical of the Trump administration, what is indisputable is Jared Kushner’s vital role in advancing normalization between Israel and Muslim nations. Jared Kushner gained tremendous trust in the Muslim world, including in Riyadh and when the Biden administration came into office the wave of normalization came to anContinue reading “President Biden Should Hire Jared Kushner”
America, Israel and Iran – A Reality Check
The reality that most do not want to acknowledge is that the Khomeinist leadership in Iran for their own reasons simply do not want to return to the JCPOA and they are not interested in any alternative agreement either. Any viable agreement would have to have bipartisan support and be acceptable to Israel and itsContinue reading “America, Israel and Iran – A Reality Check”
The US Needs to Provide Incentives to Saudi Arabia
In 2021 Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman al-Saud made a generous offer to US National Security Advisory Jake Sullivan. MBS offered to normalize relations with Israel in return for a list of demands for so-called “incentives” (i.e. security guarantees and weapons sales). The Americans not only inexplicably turned down the generous offer but apparently rudelyContinue reading “The US Needs to Provide Incentives to Saudi Arabia”
Saudi Arabia is Indispensable to the New Regional Security Architecture
Iran is engaged in a concerted military expansion of its military assets in the Middle East, including missiles and drones. The State of Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are the two most important pillars in the emerging new regional security architecture in the Middle East in particular and in Islamdom at large. Yet,Continue reading “Saudi Arabia is Indispensable to the New Regional Security Architecture”
Who is Right on Iran?
What are Iran’s intentions in Vienna? Non-Iranian intelligence agencies do not appear to know. Many weeks ago there was a flood of Israeli predictions of an imminent deal in Vienna but those fears have certainly not materialized and now even the Americans appear skeptical at the feasibility of a return to the JCPOA. I haveContinue reading “Who is Right on Iran?”
MBS is Awaiting the Return of Trump
American-Saudi relations are in a state of deep freeze. Riyadh refuses to heed Washington’s appeals for increased oil production and MBS refuses to speak with Biden after the president recently ended his yearlong boycott against the crown prince. MBS has apparently concluded that Biden is an enemy of Saudi Arabia in all but name andContinue reading “MBS is Awaiting the Return of Trump”
It’s not About Ukraine – It’s About Europe
Russian propaganda has been successful in spreading the misconception that the current conflict is about Ukraine. Baltic governments have been consistently warning that the invasion of Ukraine is merely the opening salvo of WWIII. This is a classical war of imperial conquest. Russian propaganda claims that Europe is interested in conquering Russian wealth but thisContinue reading “It’s not About Ukraine – It’s About Europe”
Inside the Mind of Vladimir Putin
There has been a wide range of attempts to pathologize Russian president Vladimir Putin to explain the Ukraine war. It is surprising that otherwise rational and highly educated observers assume that the Russian system suddenly operates without an elaborate strategy. Putin’s Russia has always been similar in its geostrategic behavior to the former Soviet Union,Continue reading “Inside the Mind of Vladimir Putin”
Normalization in Limbo
In the waning days of the Trump presidency was the world presented with a long list of Muslim countries waiting to normalize relations with Israel. However, once Trump had exited the White House, the process came to an abrupt end and no more Muslim countries have so far normalized relations with Israel during the BidenContinue reading “Normalization in Limbo”
It’s not About the Money
Israeli officials are somewhat hysterical in anticipation of a nuclear agreement materializing in Vienna. This of course is profoundly understandable since the JCPOA and an even worse hypothetical follow-up agreement are disastrous for Israeli security and are completely worthless as an insurance for Israeli survival. The question is however whether there will be an agreementContinue reading “It’s not About the Money”
Finland and Sweden Should Join NATO While They Still Can
The case of Ukraine clearly shows that staying out of NATO is not a safe option for European nations. Finland and Sweden have always opted to stay out of NATO for reasons of military strategy. An invasion of Finland and Sweden would essentially offer a detour and diversion for the Russian forces and would lengthenContinue reading “Finland and Sweden Should Join NATO While They Still Can”
The Death of the Liberal World Order
The US project of imposing a liberal world order has a long pedigree going back to US president Woodrow Wilson a century ago. The pro-democracy efforts by US President George W. Bush resulted in the Arab spring years later but failed to establish liberal democracy other than in Tunisia where it did not last. WithContinue reading “The Death of the Liberal World Order”
China or Russia cannot Substitute America’s Role in Islamdom
Why did the Biden administration discontinue the Trump administration policy of intending to devolve most of America’s superpower duties in Islamdom to Israel? There is only one answer: Suspicion that Israel will realign with China. The US nightmare scenario is that Washington would hand over most of its superpower duties in Islamdom to Jerusalem andContinue reading “China or Russia cannot Substitute America’s Role in Islamdom”
Muslim Nations are Hedging Their Bets
The Trump administration was exceptionally successful in generating normalization between Israel and Muslim nations due to the Trump policy of intending to devolve much of America’s superpower duties in Islamdom to Israel. This idea is immensely popular among governments of Islamdom for two reasons. 1) The Mossad is extremely trusted as a partner in theContinue reading “Muslim Nations are Hedging Their Bets”
Tehran’s Intention to “Annihilate America”
On January 4, 2022; Ali Fadavi, the deputy head of the IRGC explicitly threatened on Hezbollah’s al-Manar television station to “annihilate America”. The threat of extermination has long been reserved for the “Small Satan” and now Iran reveals that it plans to exterminate the “Great Satan” as well. Is this a serious threat or isContinue reading “Tehran’s Intention to “Annihilate America””
Is America Planning to Disengage from Islamdom?
Middle Eastern governments are convinced that the Biden administration is intent on continuing the Trump administration policy of disengagement from Islamdom, yet the US government denies this. Who should we believe? Assuming that the governments of the region are correct in their unanimous assessment of US intentions, a plausible explanation would then be that theContinue reading “Is America Planning to Disengage from Islamdom?”
