Great things beckon Israel, Part 1

The Druze living within the borders of Israel saved themselves from jihad by making a deal with the Jewish state. The Christians chose the path of capitulation, the end result of which is all too evident today.

The bitter harvest of decades of Israeli moral capitulation

When the most fundamental right Israel claims is only "the right to defend ourselves," she immediately concedes that everyone has the right to attack her. All else follows from this, all the way to the right of the ICC, a court that has no jurisdiction, to issue arrest warrants against her leaders.

The ICC attacks, J Street demands capitulation, others call for escalation dominance

Instead of the old hasbara approach of explaining why the Prime Minister is not guilty of war crimes, Dr Lerner and several politicians urge for the exact opposite approach: using the ICC's move to dominate its escalation. Dr Lerner's intervention is enormously encouraging.

Extraordinary opportunities call for extraordinary acts. Everything else is squander

Utter destruction must be the fates of Hezbollah, the IRGC, the Supreme Leader, and the religious institutions in Qom. That would be adequate to the difference between a spectacular Trump election victory, and “an extraordinary opportunity that we were granted by the grace of God.”

The war within the war: the witch-hunt against Netanyahu, Part 3

"It is incredible what political simpletons Jews are. They shut their eyes to one of the most elementary rules of life, that you must not 'meet halfway' those who do not want to meet you." — Ze'ev Jabotinsky

The war within the war: the witch-hunt against Netanyahu, Part 2

How Israel defines victory is irrelevant. Never mind what we think of as victory. What matters is what they, i.e., Hamas, Palestinians, Arab Muslims, think is victory, and hence, defeat. They determine what we have to do to bring about their defeat, and so our victory.

Reflections on Tisha B'Av, by a wannabe Jew, Part 2

Let us not mention the thousands of Palestinian civilians who scrambled to beat, to taunt and to humiliate the captured Jews. Let us say nothing of how they imprisoned us in their homes. Let us only whisper of "the horrific events" of October 7, for we are a people destined to suffer.

Reflections on Tisha B'Av, by a wannabe Jew, Part 1

"The eastern and western winds" obscures a time bomb at the very heart of Zionism, for the descendants of Labour Zionism are ideological, and will not reconcile themselves to the end of exile. Their project all along has been to make a Diaspora out of Israel, and they will never give that up.

Gadi Taub and necessary wars

Israel’s war against Iran is as necessary as the Allies’ war against Nazi Germany and Kokka-Shinto Japan to expunge from those nations their barbaric ideologies. Anyone other than Jews defeating Islam in Iran, while Islam is in crisis, will not have the effect.

Netanyahu's address to the Joint Houses of Congress, 25 July 2024, in context. Part 2

As the longest-serving Prime Minister of Israel, no fewer than sixteen years and counting, there is much that Benjamin Netanyahu could have accomplished that no other Prime Minister stood a chance at.

Answering my critics, Part 2

Let us, first of all, be crystal clear about one thing: if I could become Jewish and Israeli tomorrow, I would seize the opportunity with both hands.

Muslims are “scum and rubbish,” said Muhammad. The Simchat Torah massacre proves him right.

The IDF is launching an investigation into the failings leading up to the Simchat Torah massacre, to be led by Shaul Mofaz. The insensitivity of this move is stunning. Minister of Defence at the time of the “Disengagement,” Mofaz is “proud” of the monumental cock-up that set the wheels in motion.

Muslims are “scum and rubbish,” said Muhammad. The Simchat Torah massacre proves him right.

Contrary to the ruling orthodoxy, the Palestinians are not a nation without a land, but a nation without a people. In place of the positive principle of a people preserving their kind, they can only boast the negative principle of annihilating another people.

Give the Qur'an to Jews!

The cause of Jew-killing has nothing to do with being Jewish and everything to do with Jew-hatred. To say otherwise is to say that Jews would still be killed, even if there were no Jew-hatred.

Give the Qur’an to Jews!

"In Hamas’s eyes, Paris and Rome are the next targets, in their view there is no place for either Jews or Christians in the Islamic caliphate that will be established, and you will be condemned to either convert to Islam or be slaughtered."

Aliyah Featured

If ever there was a time to make Aliyah, that time is NOW

Palestinians have cut the ground from under their own feet as well as those of their Jewish sympathisers in more senses than one, and may just have done Zionism at least two enormous favours.

Israel inching towards the i-word, sort of

If the message is still not getting through, Israel cannot be a normal country because in no normal country does seventy-four percent of the population go around with a price on their head.

Israel inching towards the i-word, sort of

Denying jihad means denying Islam, which means denying Muslims, which means denying the war in which 1.6 billion are religiously obligated to exterminate 15 million. Thus did hasbara aid Soviet/Palestinian propaganda in exchanging Goliath for David.

If Jews learn only one thing from the Simchat Torah Massacre, let it be that Muslims will only think of the massacre as a mistake, if they see the Jews commit even greater brutality on them. Anything less and the Muslims will proclaim victory.

"Enemy POWs"

This IDF Colonel obviously has no intention of wiping out Hamas, even after its killing “hundreds and hundreds,” because, at least, we hope, some Jews will survive. In that case, forgive me for asking, but what then, was the problem with the Holocaust?

The electors had resolved that the heartland, along with all who dwell within it, shall assume its rightful place at the heart of the affairs of the land. Perhaps a great reckoning is finally at hand.

Whatever happened to Israeli escalation dominance?

Furthermore, and relevant to Israel, Ukraine achieved escalation dominance not with Western weapons, but with weapons she produces herself. Are we to understand that Israel, the tech wonder of the world, is incapable of producing her own weapons independently of the US?

Why I joined Professors for a Strong Israel

Professors for a Strong Israel stands as a reminder to academics and students everywhere of what it means to be in control of your own mind, and of just how precarious a privilege that is.

Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 5

I find it very hard to believe that Ze'ev Jabotinsky was not aware of the Führer's deference toward Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, especially after the end of WWI. The link between Islam and the predicament facing the Jews must have been coming at Jabotinsky from all sides.

Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 4

The Arab Riots focussed Jabotinsky's attention on the practical urgency of saving European Jews from being murdered and securing for them their national home. The Helsingfors Programme was immediately to hand. If it was good enough to understand Russia, it was good enough to understand Palestine
