The PA as usual complains loudly about Israeli counter-terrorist operations in Jenin and Nablus. However, the reality is that if the PA dealt with the terrorists then Israel would not have to eliminate them. Israel tries to arrest the terrorists and when they try to kill the Israelis, they are the ones who end upContinue reading “The PA Should Act and Stop Complaining”

Arab Honor Culture and Geopolitics
Honor culture is the single most underestimated geopolitical factor in the MENA region. On the one hand does “honor” require Arab governments to officially support the PA despite detesting it and Israel being the actual ally of most Arab governments. On the other hand, confidence in America is undermined whenever the US does not standContinue reading “Arab Honor Culture and Geopolitics”
Counter-Terrorism is the Correct Paradigm in Samaria
Israel’s counter-terrorism operations in Samaria have been described by UN officials as a perceived need for stopping an ostensible “cycle of violence”. US officials on their side make the case for what is described as “de-escalation”. The problem rather is the existence of Palestinian terrorism which must be preempted by Israel. If there are noContinue reading “Counter-Terrorism is the Correct Paradigm in Samaria”
There is no Danger of Religious War
The notion that events on the Temple Mount, specifically, unexpected body movements by Jews there and more broadly hypothetical Israeli reassertion of Jewish rights on the Mount would trigger a religious war is completely baseless. This old scarecrow is complete and utter nonsense. Could anyone please describe a real and detailed realistic scenario? No oneContinue reading “There is no Danger of Religious War”
Not for Sentimental or Religious Reasons
Israeli state strategists have treated the issue of the Temple Mount as a mere sentimental and religious one. This has also been the line promoted by national-religious advocates of reappropriation of Jewish heritage and Jewish rights on the Mount. For Palestinian strategists in contrast is this a matter of immense strategic importance. For Palestinian strategistsContinue reading “Not for Sentimental or Religious Reasons”
Honor is About Self-Respect
Honor is extremely important in the cultures of the broader Middle East. What is honor? It is about self-respect and so genuine peacemaking in the region therefore takes place between mutually honorable parties. The honorable is strong and self-respecting. This is the basis of the Abraham Accords. This was never the case with the coldContinue reading “Honor is About Self-Respect”
The International Community Need not Worry About Legalization
This of course is a time when many in the international community are worried about the long overdue legalization of unauthorized outposts constructed on public lands in Area C of Judea and Samaria. These outposts lie between authorized indigenous Israeli communities. These are areas which were always intended to become part of sovereign Israel. OfContinue reading “The International Community Need not Worry About Legalization”
The State Department Does not Get It
The State Department has recently made pronouncements on the violence in Samaria, calling on “both sides” to refrain from “provocations” and “return to the peace process”. This is peculiar since the Palestinian Authority is certainly not behind the violence and the parties which are, namely the designated Jihadist terrorist organizations of Hamas and Palestinian IslamicContinue reading “The State Department Does not Get It”
The Two-State Solution is Dead on Arrival
Why is the Palestinian Authority trying to promote UN membership for the non-existent “State of Palestine” despite an assured US veto in the UN Security Council? The apparent purpose is to pressure liberal democracies into recognizing Palestinian statehood with the goal of torpedoeing peace. The PA is quite comfortable with the status quo and itsContinue reading “The Two-State Solution is Dead on Arrival”
Why the World Lost Interest in the Palestinian Issue
When will Median Jews immigrate to Israel in the tens of millions? This is only a matter of time. What is at stake is whether President Erdogan and the AKP will lose power in Turkey in the June 2023 elections and approximately 20 million Turkish Median Jews will be allowed to leave for Israel. ForContinue reading “Why the World Lost Interest in the Palestinian Issue”
What is Behind the Gaza Blood Libels?
During and after Operation Breaking Dawn in Gaza, the usual blood libels proliferated. Jews are once more accused of murdering (i.e. intentionally killing) children and Israel is accused against all evidence of targeting civilians. Some governments are simply as usual echoing the standard Anti-Semitic propaganda of the Palestinian Authority while others are making independent Anti-SemiticContinue reading “What is Behind the Gaza Blood Libels?”
The PA Will Learn Neither From the Past nor From the Future
There was once upon a time when the fate of ten Assyrian-deported tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel was unknown, but no longer so, the entire international community is keenly aware of the whereabouts of the tens of millions of their endogamous descendants although this is not yet known to the general public. WhatContinue reading “The PA Will Learn Neither From the Past nor From the Future”
BDS is not a Civil Rights Movement
The BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) “movement” (a PA intelligence outfit) claims to be a civil rights movement but is this really so? BDS does not engage in any civil rights advocacy in Israel nor does it do so in Judea/Samaria and Gaza. BDS is explicitly unconcerned with the civil rights of Palestinians elsewhere inContinue reading “BDS is not a Civil Rights Movement”
The Role of Allah in Palestinian Views of the Future
Most Palestinians are convinced with absolute confidence that Israel will eventually be vanquished and that 7 million Israeli Jews will be removed from Israel. Why is this so you may wonder? 1) First there is the belief that God is on the side of the Muslims and that this is the reason for the historicalContinue reading “The Role of Allah in Palestinian Views of the Future”
Why was the Palestinian Authority Established?
Neither Israel nor the PLO signed the Oslo Accords in good faith. The PLO was founded to destroy Israel and has never abandoned its Anti-Zionist zeal to destroy the Jewish state. Israel of course was keenly aware of this fact but sought to unburden itself of military administration of millions of Palestinians. Palestinian autonomy wasContinue reading “Why was the Palestinian Authority Established?”
The Palestinian Apartheid Strategy
Since the collapse of the Oslo process in the year 2000 has the Palestinian Authority (PA) practiced a strategy of biding for time while rejecting all proposals for ending the conflict, which Palestinians describe as “the conspiracy to liquidate the Palestinian issue”. The calculus is that time is on the side of the Palestinians. TheContinue reading “The Palestinian Apartheid Strategy”
Take Anti-Zionism Seriously
There is a fundamental problem with two-state messianism and that is that it does not take the Anti-Zionism of the Palestinian Authority seriously. Why are Palestinian Authority schools teaching Palestinian children about ostensible “Jewish conspiracies”? Why are they taught that the Jews have no history in Israel? Why are they taught that the destruction ofContinue reading “Take Anti-Zionism Seriously”
The Palestinian Narrative is not Legitimate
It has often been claimed that peace requires accepting that there are two competing narratives, one Israeli and one Palestinian, but is this really true? What has not been considered is that the Palestinian narrative is Anti-Zionist, meaning opposed to peace with Israel. Therefore legitimizing the Palestinian narrative as an obstacle to peace makes peaceContinue reading “The Palestinian Narrative is not Legitimate”
Why Israel Must Keep its Options Open
There has been tremendous mistrust between the Biden administration and the Israeli government on account of Israel’s strategic intentions vis-a-vis China and America’s strategic intentions vis-a-vis Iran. Israel now understands that there will be no nuclear deal with Iran because Tehran has no interest in such an agreement. The US and Israel are jointly trainingContinue reading “Why Israel Must Keep its Options Open”
What Would Happen if Israel did as the PA Wants?
Imagine if Israel agreed to withdraw plus-minus to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines and agreed to deport hundreds of thousands of indigenous residents of Judea and Samaria? Assuming that the PA would agree to signing such an agreement which is not at all certain, this would not resolve the question of descendants of ex-refugees who wouldContinue reading “What Would Happen if Israel did as the PA Wants?”
Yes Let’s Bury the Two-State Solution
The PA “foreign minister” Riyad al-Maliki has claimed at the UN Security Council that there is a choice limited to 1) Israel withdrawing to the pre-1967 indefensible Auschwitz lines, 2) turning Israel into the world’s only non-nation state or 3) an Apartheid state. Al-Maliki seemed hysterical. The reason of course is that he falsely considersContinue reading “Yes Let’s Bury the Two-State Solution”
The Oslo Mutual Deception
What enabled the Oslo accords? Israeli intelligence with its deep penetration of Palestinian organizations of course was well aware that the PLO adhered to the Phased Plan (1974 Ten point program). Israel agreed to the idea of Palestinian autonomy in Judea/Samaria and Gaza already in the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty which means that both leftContinue reading “The Oslo Mutual Deception”
Does the PA Want a Palestinian State?
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has continued the Palestinian nationalist tradition of rejecting all peace offers for partition since 1937. The question needs therefore be asked whether the PA is at all interested in establishing a Palestinian state other than one in the place of Israel as called for in the 1964 PLO Palestinian National Covenant?Continue reading “Does the PA Want a Palestinian State?”
The Danger of Messianism
The Jewish nation has a long history of failed messianisms, with usually profoundly tragic consequences for the Jews. The two-state illusion is different from the previous messianist movements in that the false messiah is not a person but an enemy government. The Palestinian Authority is not only Anti-Zionism incarnate but it is the most Anti-SemiticContinue reading “The Danger of Messianism”
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”
Implement the IHRA Definition
“Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.” Example from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of Anti-Semitism Many governments (including the European Union) have formally affirmed and endorsed the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of Anti-Semitism. Yet mostContinue reading “Implement the IHRA Definition”
Israel needs to Campaign for Peace
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid was certainly right in revealing that there is an organized campaign underway planned for this year that seeks to smear Israel with the Anti-Semitic Apartheid libel at international institutions. However, an Israeli diplomatic counter campaign is of essence.The international campaign to delegitimize Israel with the Anti-Semitic Apartheid libel needs toContinue reading “Israel needs to Campaign for Peace”
The Intention behind the Apartheid Libel
The PA (the Palestinian Authority) through Palestinian intelligence is running a global campaign to discredit Israel by means of the Anti-Semitic Apartheid libel which is premised on the Nazi idea that the multiracial Jewish nation with converts from all racial origins ostensibly is a “racial group”. This is the main purpose of the BDS (Boycott,Continue reading “The Intention behind the Apartheid Libel”
Why Insist on the Impossible?
The Biden administration is well aware that Mahmoud Abbas is no partner for the much touted two-state solution. Mahmoud Abbas is tactically pragmatic but strategically rigid and his successor will be no less strategically rigid but possibly less pragmatic. The Palestinian Authority insists on flooding Israel with millions of Anti-Zionists and the goal is toContinue reading “Why Insist on the Impossible?”
Why did Saddam Hussein not Turn Over his WMD to the UN?
Saddam Hussein is known to have had weapons of mass destruction and he used chemical weapons against his own Kurdish citizens and against the Iranian military. The pacifist myth according to which Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction was an American propaganda fabrication therefore does not hold water. There was a United Nations inspections regimeContinue reading “Why did Saddam Hussein not Turn Over his WMD to the UN?”
A Most Implacable Enemy
Palestinians are the most Anti-Semitic population in the world. 93% of Palestinians in Judea/Samaria and Gaza are Anti-Semites and no less than 28% of Israeli Palestinians deny the Holocaust. The perception towards Jews is overwhelmingly hostile among Palestinians. The Palestinian narrative denies thousands of years of Jewish history in the land of Israel prior toContinue reading “A Most Implacable Enemy”
Indigenous Construction does not Thwart Two-State Solution
Recently did an anonymous Palestinian official claim that the Palestinian Authority and the US government see eye to eye on the question of restorative indigenous communities and ostensibly agree that the indigenous restoration project in Judea and Samaria is designed to thwart a two-state solution. Nothing could be further from the truth. The indigenous restorationContinue reading “Indigenous Construction does not Thwart Two-State Solution”
Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?
Palestinian diplomats have persuaded diplomats from Europe and many nations that Palestinian negotiators are actually highly flexible. The only thing this proves is that Palestinian diplomats are highly adept at diplomatic deception. Every time there has been an attempted final status negotiation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have Palestinian negotiators demanded that Israel capitulateContinue reading “Are Palestinian Negotiators Flexible?”
The Two-State Solution that Never Was
It is generally assumed that a so-called “two-state solution” along the lines of a return plus-minus to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines is in the interest of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It is also claimed that if this particular version of a two-state solution (there are others) becomes impossible (it is already impossible), thenContinue reading “The Two-State Solution that Never Was”
BDS is not What it Claims to Be
Proponents of BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) want to pressure the Jewish state out of existence. But what is the real purpose of the BDS movement as a product of international political action by Palestinian Authority intelligence? The PA knows perfectly well that it is not possible to pressure Israel into committing national suicide, inContinue reading “BDS is not What it Claims to Be”
Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question
The Zionist radical left in Israel and the international community entertain the idea of appeasing the official demand of the Palestinian Authority that Israel returns to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines with minor “exchanges” of territory. The Zionist radical left imagines that this would involve the deportation of at least 100 000 Jews from their homesContinue reading “Returning to the Auschwitz Lines is out of Question”
Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work
When the Israeli government initiated what became the Oslo process was it quite aware that no end-of-claims final status agreement was possible with the PLO. Yet, the opened-eyed, realistic Israeli government initiated the Oslo process with the goal of establishing a Palestinian autonomy, something that was accepted by both Likud and Labor and was anchoredContinue reading “Appeasing the Palestinian Movement does not Work”
Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace
Why is the international community insisting on stigmatizing restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria as so-called “obstacles to peace” when the Kushner peace map proves that they are manifestly not obstacles to partition? In fact, the unpublished Israeli partition map which provided the blueprint for the establishment of the restorative indigenous communities throughout JudeaContinue reading “Why Restorative Indigenous Communities are Branded as Obstacles to Peace”
Censuring Indigenous Construction is not an American Interest
The US has a long and unsuccessful policy spanning decades of censuring indigenous construction in Judea and Samaria. Indigenous construction in Judea and Samaria is a vital Israeli national security interest as it prevents return to the pre-1967 Auschwitz lines within which Israel could only defend itself through a preemptive offensive attack and effectively forceContinue reading “Censuring Indigenous Construction is not an American Interest”
The Palestinian Authority does not Want to End the Conflict
The official “negotiation position” of the Palestinian Authority is that of endless demands leading to the dismantlement of the Jewish state without being interested in offering anything in return. Not only does the Palestinian Authority refuse to negotiate with Israel but it is officially commiitted to its Anti-Zionist ideology of ending the Jewish state. TheContinue reading “The Palestinian Authority does not Want to End the Conflict”
Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace
A Palestinian state cannot be established through an end-of-claims final status agreement between Israel and the PLO for the simple reason that there is a consensus in Palestinian society never to resolve the issue of descendants of ex-refugees other than by inundating Israel with millions of Anti-Zionists that would make sure that Israel is replacedContinue reading “Why a Palestinian State Would not Lead to Peace”
Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue
Many governments around the world are understandably sincerely eager to resolve the protracted Palestinian issue, yet creating a Palestinian state is not within the realm of the possible due to the contradictory demand of the Palestinian side that Israel be demographically flooded with millions of Anti-Zionists, something which if actually realized would turn any two-stateContinue reading “Jewish Demography will Resolve the Palestinian Issue”
The So-Called “Refugee Question” is at the Core of the Conflict
It is popular to claim that the strategically located restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria are obstacles to peace when the Kushner peace map proves that those indigenous communities are perfectly compatible with a two-state solution and would all become part of Israel under that peace plan. Rather, anyone who has spent time criticallyContinue reading “The So-Called “Refugee Question” is at the Core of the Conflict”
The “Two-State Solution” is Dead and Always was
The 2020 United States Peace Plan as created by Jared Kushner and his team conclusively proves that the restorative indigenous communities of Judea and Samaria are no obstacles to peace. According to the Kushner peace plan the restorative indigenous communities would all become part of sovereign Israel. The indigenous restorative communities are therefore no obstaclesContinue reading “The “Two-State Solution” is Dead and Always was”
Indigenous Restoration in Judea and Samaria is a Vital National Security Interest
Israel has since the 1970s invested vast sums in the indigenous restoration project of Judea and Samaria. This is not as is sometimes claimed motivated by irrational nationalist or religious sentiments but rather by clearheaded long-term strategic thinking. The mountain ridge of Judea and Samaria overlooks central Israel and an overwhelming military assault by enemyContinue reading “Indigenous Restoration in Judea and Samaria is a Vital National Security Interest”
A Palestinian State is Impossible and Dangerous
The so-called “two-state solution” was always stillborn with no chance of taking off because the Palestinian side always demanded that millions of Anti-Zionists be allowed to immigrate to Israel in dooming the Jewish state and hence also the two-state solution. There are no peaceful intentions on the Palestinians side. The Palestinian Authority is currently pacifiedContinue reading “A Palestinian State is Impossible and Dangerous”
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”
Indigenous Construction in Judea and Samaria does not Cause Terrorism
Contrary to what the State Department implies is there absolutely no causal connection whatsoever between terrorism and indigenous restorative construction in Judea and Samaria. Not even Palestinian terrorists claim to commit acts of terror because of Israeli construction. Rather the future lies in integration and coexistence between the peoples in Judea and Samaria. Many PalestiniansContinue reading “Indigenous Construction in Judea and Samaria does not Cause Terrorism”
Abolishing the Palestinian Authority
There are tens of millions of Median Jews around the world, the largest concentration is in Turkey but millions more are found in the Middle East and in countries around the world. The historical rediscovery of core Median Jewry (Alawism, Alevism, Alianism, Bektashism, Druzism, Yarsanism and Yezidism) which provides the missing link between Rabbinic JewsContinue reading “Abolishing the Palestinian Authority”
Retract International Recognition of Palestinian Statehood
A joint IDF-SDF campaign to liberate Syria and Lebanon following a massive Hezbollah missile assault on the city of Tel Aviv will enable Israel to annex the Median Jewish (Alawite and Druze) regions of Syria and Lebanon. This will add 4 million Median Jews to Israel’s demographics and with immigration of 1 million Yezidi andContinue reading “Retract International Recognition of Palestinian Statehood”
