Tehran is Watching and May Draw its Own Conclusions
While the hostage release agreement is worthwhile from the perspective of Jewish ethics, it is also dangerous because the ruling Mullahs may view it as a sign of profound weakness. I am bringing up this possibility due to the danger that the Iranian Axis may change its military strategy towards Israel. I am not suggestingContinue reading “Tehran is Watching and May Draw its Own Conclusions”
The Gaza War is Just a Foretaste of the Northern War
Foreign governments that intend to apply pressure on the government of Israel so as to impose a ceasefire between Israel and the Jihadist terrorists in Gaza, effectively in favor of an eternal cycle of conflicts simply do not understand Israel’s situation. Israel just cannot assent no matter the price because doing so would be effectiveContinue reading “The Gaza War is Just a Foretaste of the Northern War”
The Mullahs are Desperate
The strategic plans of the ruling mullahs in Tehran are falling apart due to Hamas’ severe miscalculation. Hamas is a semi-proxy of Iran and although it consults with and receives substantial aid from Tehran, it is not a full proxy like PIJ or Hezbollah. This was on full display during the October 7, 2023 pogrom.Continue reading “The Mullahs are Desperate”

How Iraq will be Drawn into the Northern War

Will Russia Stay Neutral in the Northern War?

Learn From the Past
When Israel under US pressure rerouted the Jerusalem Day Flag Parade it led to war with Hamas in Gaza; whenever the regular route was followed there was no war.

Tehran is Determined to Start the Northern War Prior to the Turkish Elections

Perceived Weakness Invites Iranian Axis to Attack
The Israeli de-escalation effort in response to the 34 Hamas rockets from Lebanon was apparently coordinated with the United States and while it could be argued that it was tactically successful, it is sending the message that Israel and the United States are weak and can be attacked and destroyed. This is not only underminingContinue reading “Perceived Weakness Invites Iranian Axis to Attack”

This Government is Democratically Suspect
A government half whose parliamentary base is made up of anti-democratic political parties cannot be trusted.

There are several more reasons for this: Israel’sContinue reading “This Government is Democratically Suspect”
The Northern War is a War of No Choice
