It is very unhealthy that foreign governments on a massive scale fund Israeli NGO’s which lack popular basis in Israeli society. It is legitimate to raise funds from private organizations and individuals at home and abroad but to mostly rely on foreign governments means corrupting the very notion of ”non-governmental organization”. Are those organizations actuallyContinue reading “Israeli Civil Society Should not Rely on Foreign Governments”

What is the Ideology of the Israeli Deep State?
The approach of the Israeli Deep State is Zionist pragmatism. This means that Israeli governments of various political colors are used to realize strategic projects conceived by the Israeli Deep State which after all is responsible for Israeli long-term strategic planning. How is it possible, you may ask, that the Israeli Deep State was behindContinue reading “What is the Ideology of the Israeli Deep State?”
A Constitution is Required
The coming negotiations cannot merely be about achieving a watered-down version of the judicial overhaul. What is required is nothing less than a constitution that defines Israel as a Jewish and Liberal state coupled with selective authoritarianism. Anything short of that is wholly unacceptable. I would strongly recommend dual negotiation tracks, one official faux trackContinue reading “A Constitution is Required”
Understanding the Palestinians
What is the story of the Palestinians? At the end of the 19th century the Holy Land was thinly populated with a population of no more than 600 000. The Palestinian nationalist movement together with their Arab allies in the region effectively forced the British to all but shut the gates to Jewish immigration toContinue reading “Understanding the Palestinians”
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”
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”
Pretexts for Terrorism
Anti-Zionism is not merely as its etymology indicates opposed to the Zionist movement, it seeks the destruction of the restored indigenous Jewish nation state and its usually unstated agenda is the annihilation of 7 million Israeli Jews. In addition to all that Anti-Zionists maintain all kinds of pretexts such as claiming that today’s Flag paradeContinue reading “Pretexts for Terrorism”
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”
Normalization in Limbo
In the waning days of the Trump presidency was the world presented with a long list of Muslim countries waiting to normalize relations with Israel. However, once Trump had exited the White House, the process came to an abrupt end and no more Muslim countries have so far normalized relations with Israel during the BidenContinue reading “Normalization in Limbo”
Denazification of Judea and Samaria
Once a critical mass of Median Jewish immigrants have arrived in Israel will Israel redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria and the Jordanian royal family will subsequently be extremely pleased to annex Gaza. The arrival of tens of millions of Median Jewish immigrants to Israel will put an unprecedented strain on the IsraeliContinue reading “Denazification of Judea and Samaria”
Exposing and Discrediting Operation SIG
How can the vast discursive complex of Operation SIG best be exposed and discredited? If we deconstruct Operation SIG discourses, then we find that there is a consistent pattern of Anti-Jewish discursive discrimination, i.e. discrimination against Jews within discourses, mostly against the Jewish state as the collective Jew. The discourses themselves on the surface superficiallyContinue reading “Exposing and Discrediting Operation SIG”
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”
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”
Leftwing Anti-Semitism Must be Delegitimized
One key problem facing the Jewish world is the mainstreaming of leftwing Anti-Semitism. The IHRA definition of Anti-Semitism as widely endorsed by liberal democracies recognizes Anti-Zionism as constituting Anti-Semitism and some Western leaders have condemned BDS, there are however no national leaders outside of Israel speaking out against leftwing Anti-Semitism generally of which BDS ofContinue reading “Leftwing Anti-Semitism Must be Delegitimized”
Master-Slave Morality and Zionism
The case against Israel is based in Master-Slave morality in 1) falsely claiming on the basis of Slave morality that Palestinians are an oppressed group on account of Israeli counterterrorism and other self-defense and 2) wielding Master morality against Jews such as through terrorism and wars of aggression with genocidal intent while accusing Jewish self-defenseContinue reading “Master-Slave Morality and Zionism”
Jewish Critical Theory Will Win Back Progressive Jews to Zionism
Critical theory is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to studying and exposing how subconscious societal, cultural and discursive structures determine human behavior. Jewish critical theory, i.e. a) exposing and discrediting Anti-Jewish structures in discourse, b) deploying rabbinic discursive modes in all kinds of discourses and c) advocating for indigenous nations everywhere, including in the ArabContinue reading “Jewish Critical Theory Will Win Back Progressive Jews to Zionism”
Enhancing the Prospects of Western Aliyah
Israel needs to draw up a master plan for attracting Western Aliyah (immigration) to Israel. The Israeli state needs to consider what it is that is less attractive with living in Israel as compared to countries in the Diaspora and Israel needs to plan to redesign itself into becoming supremely attractive for Western Jewish immigrants.Continue reading “Enhancing the Prospects of Western Aliyah”
Why I Oppose Messianism
Messianism is irrational since it is based on metaphysical wishful thinking. The two-state illusion is one such messianic folly which disregards that peace has to be built based on realistic expectations and not on messianic pipe dreams. While I do respect religion I reject messianic expectations according to which some irrational expectation will bring redemption.Continue reading “Why I Oppose Messianism”
The Rise of Leftwing Anti-Semitism
We are seeing a dramatic rise in leftwing Anti-Semitism primarily in the United States but also in other countries. It is essential to understand how this happened and what is driving this process. During the Cold War the left was all about economic issues. After socialist economics was discredited was there a shift within theContinue reading “The Rise of Leftwing Anti-Semitism”
Zionism Will Unite
One of the consequences of Aliyah (immigration) to Israel of tens of millions of Median Jews from the Middle East, Africa and China is that the political split in Zionism between left and right will disappear. The Zionist left certainly is not advocating for a two-state solution due to feeling sorry for the self-inflicted tragediesContinue reading “Zionism Will Unite”
Zionists Need Embrace Critical Theory
There are three historical phases to Anti-Semitism in the broader sense of the term, these are Anti-Judaism (Roman, Christian and Muslim), Anti-Semitism (in the narrow racializing sense of the word) and Anti-Zionism, the most prominent form of Anti-Jewish prejudice today. Critical theory is an excellent tool for exposing the bigoted nature of Anti-Zionism as aContinue reading “Zionists Need Embrace Critical Theory”
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?”
Indigenous Construction is not Irrational
The general international perception of the indigenous restoration project in Judea and Samaria is that it is fundamentally irrational and that demographic trends work against Israel and Zionism. The Israeli calculation was always that demography and time are on Israel’s side and that was and remains no doubt a correct assessment. This estimate has beenContinue reading “Indigenous Construction is not Irrational”
Jews must Reappropriate Intersectionality
Zionism was once championed by the political left in the West when Israel had a democratic socialist economy dominated by collectives, cooperatives and union-owned industries. Israel has since 1977 left socialism in eventually becoming the most high tech economy in the world with the Israeli high tech sector accounting for 40% of Israeli exports. YetContinue reading “Jews must Reappropriate Intersectionality”
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?”
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”
Demographic Implications of Median Jewish Fertility Rates
Median Jewish mass Aliyah (immigration) to Israel in the tens of millions will enable Israel to redeem and enfranchise the entire Judea and Samaria. The question then is at what volume of Median Jewish Aliyah will Israel realistically be able to apply sovereignty to the entire Judea and Samaria? It needs to be emphasized thatContinue reading “Demographic Implications of Median Jewish Fertility Rates”
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”
The Unfounded US Obsession with Indigenous Construction
US President Joe Biden is known for his long-standing opposition to the indigenous restoration project in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. His opposition to indigenous construction spans decades and is founded in genuine demographic concerns for Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state. The leftwing Zionists never had the facts on their side as theContinue reading “The Unfounded US Obsession with Indigenous Construction”
Will International Community Retract Partial International Recognition from Ramallah?
Median Jewish Mass Aliyah (immigration) will lead to Israel redeeming and enfranching the entire Judea and Samaria and for the Jordanian monarchy to subsequently annex Gaza. This will only happen after Israel has received approximately 10 million Median Jewish immigrants. These changes of sovereignty will probably not be immediately diplomatically recognized by most of theContinue reading “Will International Community Retract Partial International Recognition from Ramallah?”
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”
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”
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”
Jews are Indigenous to Judea and Samaria
What is conveniently ignored during discussions about the future of Judea and Samaria is that not only are Jews indigenous to the area but Jews hold indigenous rights in Judea and Samaria. Israel is not an occupying power in a legal sense although there is an Israeli military administration over part of the area. RestorativeContinue reading “Jews are Indigenous to Judea and Samaria”
What the Haredi World Thinks of Fellow Jews
Most Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) Jews are not Zionists. The majority however accepts the Jewish state but wants it to become a Haredi theocracy. A minority are religious Anti-Zionists who reject theocracy before the coming of the Mashiach (messiah). However, the Haredi Anti-Zionists do not vote in Israeli elections and therefore do not have any influence overContinue reading “What the Haredi World Thinks of Fellow Jews”
The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake
It is often claimed the strategically located indigenous restorative communities of Judea and Samaria contravene international law, yet Judea and Samaria is terra nullius and even those who recognize the non-existent “Palestinian state” cannot deny that the area was terra nullius at least prior to 1988, the period when most of those communities were established.Continue reading “The Indigenous Restorative Communities of Judea and Samaria were not a Mistake”
Why Israel Keeps Quiet on Median Jewry
The Israel government keeps absolutely silent on the question of core Median Jewry and core Median Judaism and some may wonder why? Most Median Jews in the Middle East would not be negatively affected by an official Israeli recognition of core Median Jewry as Jewish. However, the situation of those Median Jews who live asContinue reading “Why Israel Keeps Quiet on Median Jewry”
The X-Factor of Alevi Immigration to Israel
While Median Jewish emigration to Israel from Iran and Iraq will no doubt be rapid indeed once the gates are opened and nearly all 3-4 million Iraqi and Iranian Median Jews are highly likely to immigrate to Israel within the course of a year, Median Jewish immigration to Israel from Turkey is likely to beContinue reading “The X-Factor of Alevi Immigration to Israel”
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 Palestinians Still Want to Perpetrate a Nakba Against the Jews
Ever since the inception of Zionism in the late 19th century have Palestinians wanted to ethnically cleanse the land of Israel from Jews. in 1947 did the Palestinian movement start a war against the Yishuv (the Jewish community in the land of Israel) with the explicit purpose of evicting the Jews from their homes andContinue reading “The Palestinians Still Want to Perpetrate a Nakba Against the Jews”
Israel will not Realign with China
There is a common misconception that Israel’s alliance with the US is based upon Jewish political influence in United States domestic politics. While it is true that organized American Jewry for half a century has played a critical role in articulating American interests in the Middle East, nothing could be further from the truth. OrganizedContinue reading “Israel will not Realign with China”
Will There be Reconciliation?
How will relations be between veteran Israelis and the new Israeli citizens beyond the former green line after Israel annexes the entire Judea and Samaria? While it is true that most Palestinians in Judea and Samaria currently want to see Israel destroyed and want to see Israeli Jews deported from Israel, it is also trueContinue reading “Will There be Reconciliation?”
Erdogan Intends to Commit Genocide
It could be argued that the reason Erdogan is opposed to Median Jewish (primarily Alevi but also Alawite, Alian, Bektashi, Yarsani and Yezidi) emigration from Turkey to Israel is that Turkey would lose a large shrunk of its population and therefore also a sizeable part of its economy. However, the real reason is that ErdoganContinue reading “Erdogan Intends to Commit Genocide”
Doubling Israel’s Population
Israel annexing the Median Jewish (Alawite and Druze) regions of Syria and Lebanon which are populated by 4 million Median Jews, the immigration of 3-4 million Median Jews (Yarsanis, Yezidis, Alevis, Bektashis and Zoroastrians) from Iran and Iraq as well as the redemption and the enfranchisement of the entire Judea and Samaria with 2 millionContinue reading “Doubling Israel’s Population”
Is Judaism Authentic Without Knowledge of Esoteric Judaism?
Knowledge of Esoteric Judaism is shared by small initiated elites in Haredi Orthodox Judaism, Sabbateanism, Mandaeism, denominations of core Median Judaism and possibly Shinto (whose practitioners are not halakhically Jewish because the Japanese are also Buddhists yet practice Median Judaism). Of course Esoteric Judaism (essentially neo-Sumerianism) is very different from Rabbinic Judaism, which is merelyContinue reading “Is Judaism Authentic Without Knowledge of Esoteric Judaism?”
Will Iraq Allow its Median Jews to Depart for Israel?
There are one million Median Jews (Yezidis, Yarsanis, Alevis and Bektashis) in Iraq, many of whom live outside of the jurisdiction of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). In addition are there still 3 000 Mandaeans who are pre-Israelite Sumerian Jews. The question is will the Iraqi government let them all leave for Israel once IsraelContinue reading “Will Iraq Allow its Median Jews to Depart for Israel?”
A No-Fly Zone Will Liberate Millions of Yarsani Jews
The number of Median Jews (Yarsanis, Alevis, Yezidis and Zoroastrians) in Iran is estimated at between two and three million; there are no precise statistics available. In addition, are there 8 500 rabbinic Jews and 5 000-10 000 Mandaeans who are pre-Israelite Sumerian Jews. The only way to free most Median Jews of Iran isContinue reading “A No-Fly Zone Will Liberate Millions of Yarsani Jews”
The Zoroastrians are Jewish
Zoroastrianism is a form of Median Judaism. It is not part of core Median Judaism but as other forms of “secondary” Median Judaism is Zoroastrianism derived from core Median Judaism. Zoroastrianism has Kohanim but no Levites. Like other forms of Median Judaism beyond core Median Judaism is it highly syncretic. While it could be arguedContinue reading “The Zoroastrians are Jewish”
