Okay, what is it that is happening right now, and how does it reflect on Jewish understanding and identity? We ar the arch rebels. We have been living, essentially, underground for three thousand years. That is world class intelligence, a world spanning network, and some VERY capable secret fighters. We are the best at this. […]
Let’s do the math. On one hand, Mr. Netanyahu and the current leadership of Israel, has been itching for a direct confrontation with Iran for many years. At the other hand, Iran has been trying to avoid the confrontation, by alliances with the western powers. There is a lot of discussion between the US and […]
These are my initial response to the Iranian attack. It happened, no one was hurt, so even though it was scary, it really underscores the weakness of these attacks. Long distance rockets make a lot of fuss and noise, but they are ineffective. Does that make it a retaliatory issue? No, but it can be […]
When we attack Lebanon, it will not be the first time, that we have been in contact with the Lebanese, and it has the potential to be a very, very, very enlightened and positive relationship. When the first Jews, the tribe of Dan, came to the Middle East, it was, according to my Danish sources, […]
Guys, the land invasion. Have anyone considered the fact, that it is a trap? If the only way Hezbollah can mount a defense, is by sucking Israel in with ground troops, thereby using their superior defense position in the much larger tunnel network in Lebanon than in Gaza. How would they accomplish this? By faking […]
Ok, I hear you on the left. You are into unity. It’s what we are supposed to do. Fighting to get the moral high ground is about choosing our actions. What do we do. Do we seek to keep our own path clean, or do we focus on the actions of those we fight. Having […]
We have to be VERY careful for the current development to be happening with the regard to the goals of the wars. The goals are, to keep Israel safe. We have the ability to fight Hezbollah down, yet, we still have to be clear about the strategy and how we think it can help Israel […]
All right, what is it in the American election, that keeps people from focusing on peace and unity. Evil works in this way; good people are connived and fooled into believing that other very nice people, are evil. This then serves as a rationale to beat these good people up in all kinds of evil […]
According to Danish philosopher K.E. Løgstrup, the philosopher behind Niels Bohr and his fight for an open world, 80% of all conflicts are misunderstandings. He was a leading figure in the Danish resistance against the Nazi occupation. So he had a lot of experience with war and peace. This dynamic is really what drives the […]
The war has changed its dynamics. Israel is on a winning streak, and the Shia led opposition to Israel is really, really weak. If we look some months forward, there is a chance that local powers in Lebanon will destroy Hezbollah and make a regime change. Arab spring style. So time is on Israel’s side […]
So, we are at a kind of escalation/deescaltion point. Either Israel continues the aggression all the way to Iran, or Israel deescalates the tension. Let’s see if we can figure out the different elements/forces at play. First of all the Arab western leaning nations, primarily among them Saudi Arabia, that is willing to start engaging […]
You know, if this whole Hezbollah offensive and not giving in to Mr. Sinwar is all about image, then we have to discuss what gives Israel this or that image. You know the people of the Middle East are nice people, essentially. This is the place of ancient Egypt and their soft hearts, Cyrus the […]
Ok, what does the new evolvement in Iran really imply? It implies, that RUSSIA is pro a peace deal, and therefore puts pressure on Iran. Just as the US is putting pressure on Israel. In this conflict the US and Russia are in agreement. There is really no reason to make a massive Middle East […]
Ok, there seems to be the conception, that because there will be a new president in the US soon, and mr. Biden is exiting, then we can’t make a deal. Just to make this clear, the American leadership and the leadership of the world does not take breaks. People are dying getting misplaced and that […]
This is really, really, really good news. Iran, effectively, drawing out of the war. There may be a lot of discussion on the Israeli side as to what this means, if the Iranians are faking, and so on. This is my experience. First of all, I fought Ahmadinejad, and was instrumental in the power shift […]
