One Choice: Fight to Win
Present Israeli deterrence is at its lowest point in years, and any US-brokered compromises with Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran, will be disastrous to us.
Do We Have an Ally in America? Or Something Else?
In April, Iran launched an aerial attack. Israel should have responded with conviction to ensure Iran would never dare try it again. Instead, to maintain US support we made only a symbolic gesture, by bombing a radar station. And now here we are again.
The Villa in the Jungle
The ancient Hebrews fought the Canaanites without mercy. There was no possibility of a two-state solution; for one tribe to live here, the others had to go. When Amalek attacked the people of Israel on their way to their land, bribing them to stop murdering us was not considered.
Winning the World’s Hearts and Minds
How can Israel use the consequences of human and societal evolution to help her overcome the massive propaganda assault, both in the West and in the Middle East?
Israel Waits on the Edge of War
Those in Israel who see the removal of Netanyahu as PM as a higher priority than the defeat of her enemies are idiots at best and traitors at worst.
How to End the New War of Attrition
We are in a bad spot, but there is one strategy that might succeed: that is to strike a massive blow at the Iranian regime and Iran’s infrastructure,
Do We Have What it Takes to Live in the Middle East?
All these threats against Israel are real.
Now What?
Our actual duty is to face the truth, which is that the price of a deal is far too high and endangers the existence of the state. The only option is to increase the military pressure.
An Excess of Democracy
Israel’s political, intelligence, and military elites have shown themselves incompetent. They failed to foresee, prevent, or even effectively react to the invasion of 7 October. They have turned the military successes of the war into what appears to be a surrender to all of Hamas’ demands.
Confrontation with Iran: Who Won?
Israel can’t continue on the path of subservience to the US, because American objectives in the region are inconsistent with the continued existence of a Jewish state.
How Israel Lost the Information War
In short, Israel has been and continues to be outgunned in the realm of information warfare.
America Takes the Side of Hamas
It is with great sorrow – and trepidation – that I observe America taking the side of Hamas in what is nothing less than...
The Forward Revives the Massacre That Never Happened
Allowing this hit job on Israel and the IDF to be published was no less than editorial malpractice.
Biden’s Bear Hug
Has the “bear hug” already squeezed the freedom and sovereignty out of Israel?
The American Front
What is the greatest danger facing Israel today? You may be very, very surprised...
We Forgot
The generals and the politicians forgot that we are not a large Western democracy, but rather a small country in the Middle East. They forgot that our enemies are not stupid. They forgot that honor and deterrence go together. They forgot that the more complicated a system, the more weak points it has, and that technology can fail.
Tribal Warfare
We have a message to send to Hamas and to all our enemies: we can and will fight as brutally as necessary.
When We Said “Never Again,” We Meant It
his is our last chance, after the disasters of Oslo, the withdrawal from Gaza, the Second Lebanon War, the Shalit trade, the ongoing loss of Area C, and countless other losses and humiliations, to end our slide to destruction.
Yes, it’s a Coup
There are ad hoc groups of former security officials, etc.--and then there is Ehud Barak.
Palestinianism: Ideology and Identity
Palestinianism as an ideology is in a certain way like Marxism or Scientology. When Palestinianists are confronted with clear-cut facts, they nevertheless find it possible to deny or ignore them
Managing the Unmanageable
Our conflict is a struggle between peoples for territorial dominance. Although we find it tremendously difficult to face the fact, it is a zero-sum game. One side will win, and the other will disappear from the region.
Why Israel Should Not Talk to the PA
If we draw Venn diagrams of the minimum demands made by the PA and the maximum concessions that Israel could afford to make (and vice versa), the intersections will be empty. There is no “creative” way to solve this problem.
A Long Collection of Short Topics
An overview of the top issues confronting us
Dear Europe, …
I welcome the idea that Israel will be able to help the Europeans in their time of need... So I have prepared a draft of a letter that our government COULD send to the EU in order to get the ball rolling.
Shireen abu Akleh’s Blood is on Palestinian Hands
Her blood is on the hands of the terrorists, along with that of the Israelis they murdered.
Israel Must Become an Unaligned Nation
Israel cannot endure as a satellite of a country whose regime opposes our survival as a Jewish state. Biden’s policies are no different than those we struggled against during the Obama presidency.
Summer Arrives in Israel
Along with the heat and the haze come incitement and terrorism, which will very likely develop – as it did last year at this time – into war and insurrection.
How to Survive in the Middle East
After the recent terrorist attack in Beer Sheva that took four lives, I (rhetorically) asked our leadership if they had a plan to deal...
What’s the Plan?
I have a question for the Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, his cabinet, and indeed every member of the Knesset: What is your long-range plan to deal with Palestinian Arab terrorism, both by Palestinians from the territories and Israeli Arabs?
The Czechoslovakian Option
What the US gets out of an agreement with Iran is not certain. Biden can declare “peace in our time” while waving the new, even worse, version of Obama’s JCPOA. But I think that the main motivation is to continue a policy, going back to the 1970s, to reverse the outcome of the 1967 war.
