Most Democratic members of Congress and Democratic presidential hopefuls have fallen under the spell of the post-Zionist lobby group J Street which advocates for the US government coercing Israel to evacuate the strategically vital, restored indigenous communities of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem and exit the disputed territory entirely by returning to the indefensible Auschwitz lines,Continue reading “Whither the Special Relationship?”

Learning from Israel’s Experience
The international community has already exposed its colors on Israel. When Israel takes risks in the interest of peace and it predictably fails then most of the international community automatically blames Israel and condemns every action it takes to defend itself. So why should Israel ”take risks for peace” when this only leads to aggressiveContinue reading “Learning from Israel’s Experience”
A Palestinian Peace Movement
The Israeli peace movement is known for its understanding of Palestinian perspectives and selective espousal of Palestinian advocacy in the perceived interest of the Jewish state. A Palestinian peace movement would similarly be known for its understanding of Israeli perspectives and selective espousal of Israeli advocacy in the interest of a future Palestinian state. NoContinue reading “A Palestinian Peace Movement”
Anti-Zionism is Incompatible with a Two-State Solution
The term antisemitism has two valid meanings. The history of Jew-hatred exhibits three historical stages: 1) The first is Anti-Judaism which targeted Jews because of their religion and so Jews who fully opted out of Judaism also became exempt from Anti-Judaism. 2) The second is antisemitism in the narrow sense which targeted Jews because ofContinue reading “Anti-Zionism is Incompatible with a Two-State Solution”
Witkoff Plan Omits Palestinian De-Radicalization in Judea and Samaria
US envoy Steve Witkoff’s 21 point plan appears to have been written in haste, carelessly and omits the most important aspect, namely de-radicalization in Judea and Samaria and not only in the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, the PA cannot be offered a state without prior comprehensive de-radicalization, including discrediting of all Jew hatred whether Anti-Judaism (againstContinue reading “Witkoff Plan Omits Palestinian De-Radicalization in Judea and Samaria”
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”
Defending the Status Quo
There is no reason whatsoever why new Israeli police minister Itamar Ben-Gvir should not visit the Temple Mount. Will such a visit cause bloodshed? Palestinian terrorists do not need an excuse to cause bloodshed and so no peaceful act of visiting the most sacred site in Judaism can be the cause of bloodshed. It isContinue reading “Defending the Status Quo”
It’s the Consensus Stupid!
There is much international hope pinned to a future successor to Mahmoud Abbas making peace with Israel. However, to personalize this issue, to think that the problem of Palestinian rejectionism is limited to first Yasser Arafat and then Mahmoud Abbas is myopic at best. Palestinian society is thoroughly rejectionist. The Palestinian consensus states that aContinue reading “It’s the Consensus Stupid!”
Median Jews Settling in Judea and Samaria will Hasten International Recognition
Members of the international community constantly repeat that the much touted “two-state solution” will at some point expire due to continued indigenous construction in Judea and Samaria. That is certainly not something to fear, in fact that should be welcomed. Of course the particular version of the two-state solution according to the so-called “international parameters”,Continue reading “Median Jews Settling in Judea and Samaria will Hasten International Recognition”
How Long Will it Take before the International Community Recognizes Judea and Samaria as Israeli?
The first step and the present stage for Israeli diplomacy is to seek greater diplomatic understanding that Israel intends to redeem and enfranchise Judea and Samaria once a critical mass of Median Jewish immigrants have arrived in Israel. The second step and later stage will be to seek actual recognition of Israeli sovereignty after IsraelContinue reading “How Long Will it Take before the International Community Recognizes Judea and Samaria as Israeli?”
