Biden—The First Frightful Month
The apparent inability of the US electorate to distinguish between policy and personality risks driving America to the cusp of third world status and imperils the very Union, which it comprises Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it […]
Has the Democrats’ push to depose Biden begun?
The contour lines of an approaching scenario in which Biden, exposed as both frail and mendacious, is forced to step down & concede the presidency to his radical Vice President, are gradually coming into focus. A significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted…Once again, […]
Targeted Killings: The Legality vs. The Morality
Arguably, the most galling reaction to the targeted killing of Iranian nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, came from John Brennan, Director of the CIA under the Obama administration. Startling evidence that members of the former Obama administration simply inhabit a parallel universe over Iran has been revealed in their reaction to the assassination last Friday of […]
The GOP—Still Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight
Republicans need to urgently hone their skills in waging political warfare—especially with the upcoming runoffs in Georgia that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate I’ve been active in the Republican party for a very long time. So I think I can say with some knowledge: Republicans play badminton; Democrats play pro football—Former Speaker […]
U.S. and Israeli Jews Deeply Divided on Life and Death Issues
The policy preferences of much of US Jewy seem even more paradoxically perverse—as they are undeniably lending support to political regimes that comprise the diametric opposite of the enlightened liberal values the purport to cherish. The dichotomy over the US elections between Jews in America and Jews in Israel is stark and startling. While over […]
Indicting Netanyahu—The unintended consequences
The recent release of taped telephone conversations underscores the bitter irony that the politically motivated initiative to indict Netanyahu on contrived charges will end up by undermining precisely those who launched it & were complicit in conducting it. There is something sick in the State Prosecutor’s Office; Shai Nitzan is not fit to be the […]
Replacing RBG with ACB – Delinquent Democrats Deserve No Quarter
There is a bitter & infuriating irony in the fact that it was the Democrats themselves, who committed the very transgressions they endeavored to attribute to their Republican adversaries. … it is necessary for a prince, wishing to hold his own, to know how to do wrong…he need not make himself uneasy at incurring a […]
Oslo as Political Kryptonite
For the Labor Party, the fall from the heights of political hegemony to the depth of political oblivion is a fitting fate for the perpetration of the Oslo Accords, which ran counter to every prevailing Zionist norm of the time Kryptonite: Something that can seriously weaken or harm a particular person or thing – Oxford […]
Why the “Right” Insists on Bringing Knives to Gunfights
Although it has ostensibly been in power for much of the post Oslowian era, it is clear that the “Right” has not internalized the exigencies of political warfare. To bring a knife to a gunfight: To enter into a confrontation…without being adequately equipped or prepared. — Phrases.com One of the most perplexing conundrums in Israeli […]

De-Americanizing America
Inconceivably, ever greater circles of Americans seem swept up in a movement bent on jettisoning a paradigm that brought resounding success, while enthusiastically embracing one that wrought failure and deprivation wherever implemented Africa has the fastest-growing number of immigrants in the United States, according to …US Census Bureau data…The number of African migrants grew at […]
The Iranian presence in Syrian and the George Floyd factor
Will a tragic incident on a Minneapolis curbside determine the fate of the political order in Tehran—and its military deployment across the ravaged realms of Syria? Recent media reports of a series of air attacks on Iranian-related targets in Syria—widely attributed to Israel—have once again raised the question of whether such attacks will eventually convince […]
Duma-Guilt by conjecture?
Perhaps the most disturbing issue, raised by the cloud of doubt, enveloping the Duma-related legal proceedings, is the tangible possibility that the real perpetrators of the gruesome murders may still be roaming around free—secure in the knowledge that someone else will pay for the atrocity they committed. Terror is terror. Whether it comes from Arabs […]
[a] The Imperative to Annex; [b] The Irrelevance of Innocence
Preamble: The somewhat misleading headline This week (May 17-23) provided a particularly rich array of fresh newsworthy topics on which to focus: The opening of PM Netanyahu’s unashamedly choreographed trial, the disruptive cyber-attack on the southern Iranian port, Shahid Rajaee, widely attributed to Israel; the formation of the outsized and grotesquely hybridized government that the […]
