I am very lucky to be in Oxford right now, to a conference focusing on the welfare of the world. With specific focus on ecumenical work and of cause peace. The conference is in the old church of Oxford, so there is actually a lot of ambience, and even though it is old, it is […]
The election of Israel is starting, and a lot of hopeful contesters are jumping into the fray, some adamant at defending Israel, some adamant on finding peace. It revolves, right now, around two issues. One is Iran the other is Palestine. Both are actually difficult to solve right now, and will, most probably, not be […]
There is a lot of conflict within Israel, let us have a keen look on what it is all about, and to me, these conflicts are not alien, we have the same problems here in Denmark, and perhaps some of the ideas we have had here, could be used in Israel as well. After all, […]
Well there is an upcoming election in Israel, that is extremely unfortunate. There are so many conflicts in and around Israel, that an election right now is not exactly the best of times, but on the other hand, it has happened. I hope the elections will be speedy and serious, so that is may be […]
Right now Europe is fighting itself. On one hand we have an aging population, on the other hand we have a centralized government, that is so out of touch with its constituency, that Byzantine rulers would have been paragons of virtue compared to the enigmatic bureaucratic rule by Bruxelles. It is actually truly fighting its […]
Considering the fact, that there is a huge gap between the liberal part of Knesset and the conservative, I should like to ask the liberal part to understand why mr. Netanyahu is doing what he is doing. The reason why he has to give the conservative part such a huge amount of realization of projects, […]
I have been very hesitating weighing in on the conflict between mr. Netanyahu and mr. Rouhani. Why? Because so much is at stake. But, the peace that has commenced after the negotiations failed, has a lot to tell us about how the stratifications are aligned, and what we may encounter if we go this or […]
I have this friend, or rather, a friend of a friend. Here in Denmark, I am seen as a rebel and a troublemaker. This despite, that I actually, as one of the few, do have a clear and sound understanding of what Islam really is, and not a simple understanding. But, it is a dangerous […]
Seen from an Israeli point of view, the great question is; can we trust Iran? I do trust them, to a certain point. They are not evil or deceitful or unsympathetic, they are just fighting for their own point of view, as we do. Or rather our fight is only about survival, not about any […]
So the deadline we put to ourselves regarding the peace negotiations in Austria did again not reveal any progress, why? Because the real negotiations is not between the European and American diplomats and Iran, it is between Israel and Iran. As long as there is not a direct coordination between the two, a peace settlement […]
We are closing in on the possible deal with Iran. First of all, it is not about power or personal gain. It is something on a complete other level. It is about the advent of spirit on earth. Let us be honest about this. We are not totally sure what G-d may be, or how […]
Working, night and day for peace, and seeing it destroyed by people with no ethical limits to their behaviour is disgusting. Like preying on the poor Yazidis. I wholeheartedly condemn the disgusting attack on the hapless people praying in the temple in Jerusalem. This is without any respect for simple decency or humanity. Why? Why […]
There is a violent storm brewing up in the horizon, and it is only if we really stay focused, that we will avoid shedding too much blood. In Ukraine, Poreshenko is threatening with the total disengagement of the two rebel republics of Lugansk and Donetsk. As I understand it, this includes cutting electricity and power. […]
There is a lot of discussion concerning the recognition of the so called Palestinian State. So far, I have not chipped in on the discussion, because, as I see it, the discussion ended after the fall of the Oslo peace accord. I mean, if you get handed a piece of land, and you promise to […]
There is a huge debate concerning the responsability from the UK towards the EU. It has come to the extreme, that Britain considers redrawing from the European Union. What are the default lines of the discussion, and how may we elevate the discussion in a true philosophical understanding? So far the paradigm of globalization has […]
We are approaching the final draft of the Iranian deal. I have no insider information about the draft, so I cannot know anything about it. But, I know the story that has lead up to the deal, and a bit about the stakes that are invested. It all started in the first part of the […]
The Middle East is again in turmoil, this time it is the sacred birthplace of the Jewish State that is at stake, and a holy site for Muslims as well. What is really happening? To understand this you have to zoom in on the underlying parameters of the conflict. There are many players and interests […]
Europe is heading the wrong way. Economically it is surely going the wrong way, and culturally it is definitely going the wrong way. We have been some bravehearts who have seen this development for a long time, and often tried, sometimes in vain, sometimes with some sucess, to do something about it. Mind you, the […]
The Middle East is waiting for the negotiations between Mr. Obama, Mr. Putin, his highness Rouhani and the Iranian parliament to conclude. There is a huge turmoil in Israel right now, because of the land annexation in the West Bank and in Jerusalem. But there will be no conclusion on these conflicts before the negotiations are […]
Conservatives often refer to Mr. Winston Churchill a warrior of G-ds grace, and a very intelligent man. In the liberal press he is often not that positively mentioned, but everybody agrees that stopping the Nazi killing machine was a good thing. So how are we to understand this dividing and yet prominent and positive figure. […]
When we look upon the three world religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We see an image of war and conflict. For a long time it has been Christianity against Judaism, a conflict that is luckily almost over. Now it is Islam against Judaism and Christianity, a conflict I believe is difficult to solve, but at […]
When we hear about fear, angst, tragedies, we know that someone are hurt, feel threatened and afraid. This is human, and if we do not accept human insecurtiy, it will often turn into war. Right now, Palestinians are rioting, why? Because they are afraid. Why do they show rage or anger? Because they are afraid, […]
The relationship between mr. Barack Obama and mr. Binyamin Netanyahu is very bad. I understand, but I hope that we can see it as something else than personal disagreement, and see it for what it really is; politics. Mr. Netanyahu needs to underpin the conservative part of his voterbase. Why? Because they got really angry […]
The East and the West is in confrontation, but the hand of peace is outstretched, and can be taken and shaken. As I understand the latest development. Mr. Putin is ready to recognize the Ukrainian independent state, including the elections that was predominantly won by pro western parties. This is an outstretched hand, and should […]
It has been a while since I thought about Sweden. But all of a sudden, Sweden is all over the news here in Denmark, and somehow we as Danes have a sort of helping role in the intellectual development of Sweden. Please let me explain with a little story. I have this amazing friend. He […]
It has been a while since I have been in company with a Jew. Not that I do not follow things in Israel on the net, but just having friends who are jews, sharing time together, has been a long time. I am not one of those too enthusiastic converts who wants to do everything […]
There has been another attack on allied ground on a central governmental institution. The war against IS has been domesticated, and the fatwa that the leader of IS gave has been heard and followed up upon. The war between the Phoenician and the Roman empire has taken yet another turn for the worse. As in […]
Due to a personal ruin, and too much stress on the family front, I have not really had the energy to support you Barack in this election. I would have wanted to do it, but when you have to rise 6 o clock in the morning just to get the most important written, it is […]
When I walked on the Camino, a pilgrimage from north east Spain to the sea of the Atlantic I changed my course. As they say, those who have walked the Camino, your walk will not start before you get home. At that time, I thought my walk would give me a place in the world […]
When we try to understand the problems we are in, we often reflect them in earlier times, and try to understand them in the light of the foregone. A popular parallel between today and other historical events is Rome. Some see us as a corrupt and falling superpower. A power that has seen better times, […]
We hear a lot about the presumption, that there is no ultimate goal to the fight against the Islamic State. Well there is; to beat the Islamic State. The way to that goal is however extremely difficult, basically because it is a very complicated work we are doing, and have been doing for a long […]
When we look at the problems we face with IS fighters in Denmark, we need to realize that we are in a war with them. Not just in Iraq and Syria, but also in Denmark. We try to be delusional about it, but when the IS supporters believe that the war also encompasses Denmark, and […]
The order of the European Union is slowly falling apart. The southern Euro countries are suffering under a fiscal policy they cannot sustain. The open borders are wrecking havoc in the Northern countries. The antinational propaganda is creating generations of citizens without any relationship to their home country or anything at all. Well, this is […]
Seen from a perspective of peace, the latest developments in the Middle East region has gone the wrong way. We did reach a solution in the Gaza/Israel war, that ended up in a situation where our kids can go to school, and the Gazans did not get totally destroyed, a winning scenario for both. But […]
Sometimes when you are ruling, you also become pretty isolated. You end up in that gilded tower, powerful but in want of some good friend to pup by and drink a glass of vodka or just have a friendly talk. I as one feel this often, being a blogger isolated, and having very few friend […]
So the fight against the IS has entered a new stage, the coalition is more or less in place. The western world has come together to meet this new threat to democracy and freedom. There is however just one problem, and that is the fact, that we have a huge part of the population in […]
There are many things that seem to change in this world; how we see the conflicts, the situation in and around Israel, global peacemaking, the role of religion. There is however one thing that seems to be put in stone. That the very philosopher who is, by now, leading, intellectually, the confrontation between the democratic […]
I believe that there is a certain turmoil in the relationship between the Russians and the Americans. To me it seems as a conflict over turf. Syria is the turf of the Russian led Shia side, and Americans and Saudis bombing there seems to be an affront. Well, to put things in perspective, we could […]
In all the wars the US has officially participated in, and there have been many, seldom has the very core of the US been invested. In the second world war, Americans went over to Europe, got killed on the beaches, and, honestly, did not really know what was the cause of the conflict. In the […]
It fills my heart with joy, when I read about the kids going to school in the south of Israel. In my own school where I work, the atrocities and the fear is far away, so it is difficult to imagine living under constant threat and running for your life all the time. Making plans […]
We are now entering another phase in the war, we have realized, that halfhearted allies are worse than enemies. A lot of the propaganda that is initiated and produced by the IS fighters bear a distinct European touch. It is professional, it is modern, and it could only be made with modern computer tools, not […]
In the current climate of opression when it comes to the truth of some of the atrocitites that is happening in Europe, one needs a strategy to try to counter the gag there is in effect on all who dare to critisize the problems of Rotherham and the like. At the end of the day, […]
The current situation in Europe, where right is wrong, and wrong is right is not something new, it is the sure signs of a civilization in decay. Take the ancient Sumerian civilization that hosted such cities as Babylon, Ur and Uruk. They had the same problem, and you can actually read about in in the […]
When we trive for peace, we strive for utopia, because peace will only happen if we are so perfect in our ideas and organization, that all the best tools are put to use. Is it possible to make utopia here on earth? To do that, you have to use ME. What is ME, ME is […]
Another chapter in the never ending story of Danish crawing and sucking up to the Islamic State has just been revealed. Everybody else in the world are horrified by the brutality and the human callousness of the Islamic State. Even Muslims are appalled by the absurd conduct by the Islamists. So what do the Danish […]
Now the system and tool of loosing your citizenship if you are involved in islamist activity, has been accepted by mainstream politics. It works like this; if you are, in any way caught supporting IS, you are to loose the citizenship of that given country. If it is an organization, be it a charity ngo […]
We are finally coming around to the fact, that our entire societies are infiltrated by islamists, and we have to do something about it. Well, this is basically a result of some of the work I started with Anders Gravers in SIAD. Both Anders and I had a clear idea about the threat of Islam […]
Well I forgot one player in the conflict in Europe this night, I am sorry about that. The crux of the conflict in Europe; Ukraine itself. Ukraine wanted a liberation, some wanted to be part of The European Union others wanted to be part of Russia, and yet others just wanted Ukraine to be strong […]
It has come to a conclusion in the current conflict between The European Union, the US and Russia. Many atrocities has been done on each side. Absurd theaters on the european side, with the Eurovision show and the bearded lady/man as the so called savior of Europe as the height of stupidity and folly. Poor […]
The world is always in turmoil, then this side rises and challenges the other side, then it is the Romans against the Phoenicians, the Goths against the Romans, the Islamists against the Goths and the Danes. The world changes in this way, so that the strongest survive. Not only on a small scale in a […]
