When the State Department is Picking on Israel
The Arabists at the State Department have a long history of trying to extract concessions from Jerusalem against Israel’s best interests with the intention of extracting ever more concessions in order to harm and undermine the Jewish state. This goes back all the way to when the US tried to force Israel to withdraw fromContinue reading “When the State Department is Picking on Israel”
Will the International Community Bestow Recognition upon the Peace?
There is now widespread understanding in the international community that the two-state solution was always stillborn and no one likes being fooled a thousand times. International leaders and diplomats still pay lip service to the “two-state solution” and hypothetical “Palestinian statehood”, yet few informed people in the international community sincerely believe in those things nowadays.Continue reading “Will the International Community Bestow Recognition upon the Peace?”
Israel Too Wants to Survive
Last year an Anti-Semite was elected president of Chile. The same thing could happen in the United States. Gone are the days when it was assured that it would always be a moderate who would be elected president of the United States. Support for Israel is declining dangerously among young Americans, including among young RepublicansContinue reading “Israel Too Wants to Survive”
The Palestinian Interest
What is the Palestinian interest? There are two perspectives to this. The first perspective assumes that the Palestinian interest lies in fighting the Jewish state until the entire Jewish population in accordance with the Palestinian consensus has been “removed” from the land, i.e. exterminated since there is nowhere to deport the Jews. Palestinians have beenContinue reading “The Palestinian Interest”
The Death of Anti-Zionism
What will happen to Anti-Zionism when tens of millions of Median Jewish immigrants arrive in the land of Israel? Israel’s population will triple or quadruple and Israel will redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria while Jordan subsequently will annex Gaza. Israel will annex Median Jewish (Alawite and Druze) regions of Syria and LebanonContinue reading “The Death of Anti-Zionism”
Where Will Median Jews Settle?
The influx of tens of millions of Median Jewish immigrants to Israel offers an opportunity to populate the Negev desert in southern Israel. It is also a unique opportunity to bring millions of Median Jews to reside in Judea and Samaria. Millions of Median Jewish immigrants will no doubt also settle in expanded existing citiesContinue reading “Where Will Median Jews Settle?”
How Quickly Will Median Jews Emigrate to Israel?
How fast will Median Jews immigrate to Israel? Once the gates are opened up will African Median Jews from Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania as well as Middle Eastern Median Jews of Iran and Iraq immigrate to Israel as fast as they can irrespective of conditions on arrival in Israel. There are 4 million Median JewsContinue reading “How Quickly Will Median Jews Emigrate to Israel?”
Does King Abdullah II Want to Annex Gaza?
Israel is ready to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria once a critical mass of Median Jewish immigrants have arrived in Israel and Jordan will subsequently annex Gaza. Meanwhile, the Jordanian government officially insists that “a two-state solution” in the version that would involve Israel retreating to the indefensible Auschwitz lines, is theContinue reading “Does King Abdullah II Want to Annex Gaza?”
Israel’s Challenge of Mass Immigration
There are tens of millions of Median Jews in the Middle East and beyond. Israel will face an unprecedented challenge in public planning in tripling or quadrupling its population through Median Jewish mass Aliyah (immigration). Israel will not only vastly expand its existing cities but will no doubt build entirely new cities, towns and villagesContinue reading “Israel’s Challenge of Mass Immigration”
Populating the Negev
Israel will face an influx of tens of millions of Median Jewish immigrants in the coming decade or two. Israel’s population will triple or quadruple and the question is where will the immigrants live? It would of course be possible to triple or quadruple the size of current cities but another option is to buildContinue reading “Populating the Negev”
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”
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”
Decades of Failed Pressure
Successive US administrations have for decades applied varying degrees of diplomatic pressure on Israeli governments to refrain from indigenous restorative strategic construction in Judea and Samaria. Yet the fact is that Israeli governments of all political colors have built in Judea and Samaria since the late 1970s because it is rightly seen as a vitalContinue reading “Decades of Failed Pressure”
The New Equation for Middle East Peace
Israel should formally agree to the resolution of most aspects of the Palestinian question in return for the West’s diplomatic assistance with Israel’s full reunification with Median Jewry as Israel cannot open the gates to Median Jewish emigration to Israel on its own. This requires sustained Western diplomatic economic pressure on Turkey to not placeContinue reading “The New Equation for Middle East Peace”
The Palestinians of Judea and Samaria Have a Better Future With Israel
Those in the international community who still sincerely believe in Palestinian statehood do not seem to have considered the best interests of the Palestinians themselves. Palestinians of Judea and Samaria currently live under a corrupt, autocratic, nepotistic and kleptocratic dictatorship which certainly does not have the best interests of its population at heart. It isContinue reading “The Palestinians of Judea and Samaria Have a Better Future With Israel”
Resolving Gaza
Israeli annexation of Median Jewish (Alawite and Druze) regions of Syria and Lebanon following a joint IDF-SDF campaign will add 4 million Jewish citizens to the population of Israel, something which will demographically permit Israel to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria. What then about Gaza? Should Gaza become a claustrophobic Palestinian mini-state?Continue reading “Resolving Gaza”
The Idea of a Palestinian State is Outdated
Israel always counted on increasingly falling Palestinian fertility rates and the Haredi population explosion (there will be 5 million Haredi Israelis in three decades time) to resolve the Palestinian dispute. Then came the historical rediscovery of core Median Jewry as deus ex machina. Israeli annexation of 4 million Syrian and Lebanese Median Jews (Alawites andContinue reading “The Idea of a Palestinian State is Outdated”
A Hopeless Cause
The Palestinian cause is a hopeless case because they universally make completely impossible demands. They literally require that Israel self-destruct by 1) accepting unlimited immigration of millions of Anti-Zionist descendants of Palestinian ex-refugeees thus dooming any hypothetical “two-state solution” into a transitional fiction, 2) requiring Israel to accept indefensible boundaries within which Israel could notContinue reading “A Hopeless Cause”
