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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
National Interests First
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a political and rhetorical genius. He has long served Israel well. However, we have in the past few year witnessed how Bibi puts his personal interests over the national interest in a way that increasingly endangers the Zionist project. First, he held the country hostage with annual elections despite theContinue reading “National Interests First”
A New Mission for Tevel
There is need for a major international operation to be organized by Tevel, the political and diplomatic arm of the Mossad. There needs to be a secret international conference in Israel involving the top religious authorities of all branches and denominations of the wider Judaism on the issue of conversion to Judaism in Israel soContinue reading “A New Mission for Tevel”
Situation, Logic and Consequence
The Supreme Court of Israel has decided to hear eight petitions against ”the unreasonableness amendment” to one of Israel’s basic laws. The prime minister has already opined that it is essentially illegitimate for the court to hold such a hearing since according to his view judicial review does not extend to basic laws. Thus ifContinue reading “Situation, Logic and Consequence”
What is a Legitimate Compromise?
A legitimate compromise needs not necessarily involve negotiations with the opposition. An acceptable compromise is one deemed legitimate by the Supreme Court of Israel. This is also relevant for the ”Anti-Reasonableness Bill”. Therefore, the government needs to discreetly consult with the Supreme Court before presenting a compromise bill to the Knesset. The Israeli Deep StateContinue reading “What is a Legitimate Compromise?”
A Legitimate Compromise Please
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims to seek a compromise instead of the current ”Anti-Reasonableness Bill”. The Israeli Deep State would be particularly well-advised to use its considerable leverage with the Prime Minister to make sure that he changes the bill into a compromise that is reasonable and acceptable to the Supreme Court and thus avoidsContinue reading “A Legitimate Compromise Please”
Israel Should Consider the Wider Druze Relationship
The issue of erecting wind turbines near Druze Golan villages has triggered riots and clashes, yet it appears that not everyone in the Israeli government is aware of the strategic implications. Israel needs to consider its future relationship with the entire Druze people, also in regions that are currently part of Syria and Lebanon, areasContinue reading “Israel Should Consider the Wider Druze Relationship”
The Red Line
The coalition is at liberty to pass any legislation it wants and the Supreme Court may nullify it. However, if the government chooses to disobey the Supreme Court, then it crosses a definitive red line. This makes the government vulnerable to a military coup d’état as ordered by Israel’s Deep State. Make no mistake, whatContinue reading “The Red Line”
The Israeli Deep State Needs to Promote a New Rabbinical Consensus on Conversion Reform
The proposal for conversion reform as suggested by the Bennett-Lapid government was insensitive to the very real social concerns of many Diaspora Orthodox rabbis who feared for the very survival of their communities. The apparent concern was that young Orthodox Jews would date and marry non-Jews and then make fictitious Aliyah for the purpose ofContinue reading “The Israeli Deep State Needs to Promote a New Rabbinical Consensus on Conversion Reform”
The Israeli Deep State Must Warn Israeli Cabinet Ministers
While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is keenly aware that a constitutional crisis would trigger a military coup d’état and that the Israeli Deep State would subsequently impose a new constitution defining Israel as a Jewish and Liberal state, most of his cabinet ministers are obviously not aware of this at all. It is absolutely imperativeContinue reading “The Israeli Deep State Must Warn Israeli Cabinet Ministers”
The Israeli Deep State Must Warn the Opposition Too
A constitutional crisis and even civil war are unacceptable outcomes and hence the failure of the present constitutional negotiations in Israel will inexorably lead to a military coup d’état, something which neither the government nor the opposition desires. While the Israeli government is keenly aware of this fact, the leaders of the opposition are notContinue reading “The Israeli Deep State Must Warn the Opposition Too”
The Israeli Deep State Must Protect and Promote Aliyah & Giyur
Considering the illiberal leanings of the present Israeli government and its apparent lack of democratic instincts, it is imperative that the Israeli Deep State consistently and timely acts to protect Israel’s liberal character under all circumstances. The impending assault on the Law of Return is specifically not about preventing people with one Jewish grandparent inContinue reading “The Israeli Deep State Must Protect and Promote Aliyah & Giyur “
What is the Ideology of the Israeli Deep State?
The approach of the Israeli Deep State is Zionist pragmatism. This means that Israeli governments of various political colors are used to realize strategic projects conceived by the Israeli Deep State which after all is responsible for Israeli long-term strategic planning. How is it possible, you may ask, that the Israeli Deep State was behindContinue reading “What is the Ideology of the Israeli Deep State?”
Israel’s Deep State
What is Israel’s reputed Deep State? Like any Deep State, it is an intelligence agency. How does it operate? It is able to pull strings, e.g. is there no question that most members of Knesset are assets of the Deep State. The Deep State is neither right nor left and appears to include both religiousContinue reading “Israel’s Deep State”
