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”

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.

Palestinian autonomy wasContinue reading “Why was the Palestinian Authority Established?”

Israel’s Theocratic Threat

Israel is under severe theocratic threat. Israel’s Jewish Talibans oppose liberal democracy, modernity, gender equality and LGBTQI emancipation.
