When you pray, often you do it to make amends, look critically upon yourself, have a little chat with spirit, reach out for another person you may miss, or just feel the comfort of silence and rest. But a few times in your life, you really are in a deep crisis, it can be in your marriage, in conflict or in war. As politicians, who read this blog knows. The dangers are many, and the help is, in reality very scarce. The advisors your have are often more interested in their own career than in really giving you sound advice, and in the top there is often freezingly cold. But, as always, when you are in need, you still have spirit. G-d does not care whether you are rich or poor, he is always there for you if you chose to be there for him, or it.

I am lost. Basically, doing what I do is totally stupid, it does not make any sense, if you look at it from outside. Why would someone sacrifice his entire existence, the wellbeing of his family, the comfort of a steady job to help the world regain its footing? It defies logic in a way.

One of my favourite writers is the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun. He writes beautifully about love and the raptures he sings to his country is filled with all the colours of that proud and unbowing nation. He was defamed, rightully by his admission to Social Nationalism, but his writing is still superb, and I like it just for that.

When he was in the beginning of his career, he lived as a poor boheme in a derelict part of Oslo. He had a few jobs here and there, but his stomach growled louder than his thoughts sometimes. As all other artists, he tried and tried and tried for his breakthrough. At the end of the line, he sat there at his worn out desk, with only a small piece of pencil left, no money, no nothing, and the he realized, that the only way you can truly write, is by writing from where you stand yourself. You can only write with passion about what you yourself know about. So he wrote his breakthrough novel “Hunger”.

When I was once really, really sick. At the end of the line with my life, laying in my bed, looking up in the cealing, I prayed for an answer. Not just halfheartedly, but with all I had, with every ounce of my being for an answer to my predicament, I got one answer, and that was, if you fight for me, I will fight for you. This was when I was chosen as warrior of light.

I have very little, no mother, no father, no close relatives. In fact I do not even have a job. But I have one thing that other people lack; I have faith.

This faith, is all you really need, or rather, faith is a salvation if you are lost. Because it will lead you onto a better and more beautiful path. Because G-d is what is good in this world, and if we stand together united in a true faith in G-d, we will be saved, all of us.

This is why G-d chose such a lost person as me to communicate some of his viewpoints and ideas, because only through the truly lost will he be heard. Because the truly lost is ready to dedicate his everything to a cause, because he has nothing more to lose.

Think about it when you see someone in need, or you have to face something you have to overcome; if you place yourself at the mercy of spirit, humble yet strong in the action you are told to do. You will be chosen as well. We can all be chosen, because G-d will chose all those who will follow him on his path. He is open and forgiving, but never simple or superficial. He is your best friend, and your last refuge. He is there, because he needs us as much as we need him. All of us, small, strong, weak, old and young.

This is the true knowledge of spirit.

G-d bless the will to remain faithfull in the face of neglect and danger.

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 world and the islamists, is prone for ridicule and suspicion.

After mr. Barack Obama has waved the flag of sanctions of Denmark and other coalition countries that does not get their own house in order. Well what has happened? That is easy to say; absolutely nothing. A few words here and there, but on the ground absolutely nothing has changed. The support to the IS soldiers are still in effect, my isolation and the closed doors for any kind of public appearance is in effect. So both the on ground supposedly actions to be taken has not come into action, and the vilification of the democratic intellectuals remain the same.

Do the officials understand absolutely nothing? Are they deaf? Do they just think that ignoring the problems will make it go away.

One of my acquaintances posted a story on Facebook about an unprovoked attack on a young man by some who looked like islamists in broad daylight. This is what IS has threatened with, and yet no reaction from the authorities.

Are they without any kind of remorse or empathy with the citizens they put in harms way by choosing not to act?

Beats me, but I think it is about time we move from playing around, and actually doing something about it.

G-d bless the will to remain faithfull in the face of absolute neglect.

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 draw a parallel to Ukraine. Here things are the same, just with different actors. Russia sees this as a home/domestic issue, and see Americans as making conflict. In Syria, the Americans need to defend their own interests in Iraq, and needs a bit of room for that.

As I mentioned earlier. This situation therefore holds a certain room for negotiation. As Mr. Barack Obama has already signalled. In other words, he is ready, as I understand it, to loosen up sanctions, and give Russia more room of maneurability in Ukraine, if Russia gives him the same in Syria.

This of cause does not leave either Syria or Iran with any relieve over the attacks in their home turf. But there is a possibility to make amends, and have a little more room in other negotiations.

But, into equation comes two other things. One is the relationship to Israel, the other is the upcoming election in the US. The US has to make sure Israel feels a part of the negotiation regarding the descalation of arms in Iran. Obama has to have something to show in the election in the US in november.

The only way this equation can be solved, is if everybody tries to put away their immidiate fears, and tunes in for a viable solution.

G-d bless the will to make peace.

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 end, when the Treblinkas and the Birkenaus were opened, and the atrocities and inhumanity of the third Reich was exposed, well I believe Americans realized that the evil that was rooted out, was worth all the sacrifices.

All the propaganda that the Soviet Union spread in Europe still lingers here im Denmark as a bad omen from times before. So as a dane, saying that I really love American values and the American system will make me suspicious. After all, they have a bad reputation, Guantanamo, George Bush and so on.

But they are wrong, because they do not know what they are truly talking about. They have no ideas about the humanistic virtues of America, the birth as a system inspired by french revolutionary thinkers, their faith in democracy, their belief in the individual, their trust in justice, their gruesome fight to the top of that shining hill. But I know, because I do read books, and though you may call me a nerd, and a bookworm, I still believe that knowledge is the basis of choices in your life. I care to disagree.

So after all these years of trouble, war after war, each one being conclusive, where are we? We are so much more alive than all our enemies; the Nazis, the Communists, now the new enemy – the Islamist. Why? Because the survival of a system rests on its quality. A system of low quality will soon fall, a good quality system will last. As the hellenic systems we still are inspired by. Plato said he was writing for eternity, and he did, because of the quality of his writing. Or Jesus Christ, or Moses or Mohammad. All did they have something of quality to present to the world. Otherwise it would have disappeared.

Knowing this might serve as a feeling of destiny. You are not just fighting for yourself in this conflict with the caliphatists, you are fighting as servicemen in a long line of fine and good men. Giving their lives for an ideal, for a better world. If you lose your live, it should be given to something good. If men have given their lives before, for this dream that America truly is, then why cant we?

G-d bless the faith in the constitution of the United States of America.

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 and develop strategies to make peace is a lonely thing, you sit at your desk, and try to think up ways to help Israel, but it is a distant project in a way. But when young kids are going to school and the kibbutzes are teeming with life, in a way this seems real to me. Perhaps because schools are schools, wherever they are.

When you fight for peace, and not to subdue anyone, the victory you get is so much of a relief, because there is less soulsearching in regards to your motive. Fighting for peace is always an honourable task. This brings joy!

G-d bless Israel, and may it prosper beyond the ceasefire.

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 something you would traditionally understand jihadis to understand and even less use professionally. Yet they do.

The coalition cannot target IS fighters in another coalition country, because this would be absurd. It can only put pressure on the coalition country to make sure that the IS fighters are stopped and dealt with.

Obviously this is not the case in Denmark, we still hear about former IS fighters who run about given psychological help and all kinds of stupid support.

If you want to fight IS you need to target the fighters and the organization that supports them. A hundred fighters are equal to a lot of mosques, families, support organizations and so on. You have to target the entire system to stop the fighters from flowing to Iraq.

On top of this, it is not in the best interest of the coalition, that intellectuals who are prodemocratic and anticaliphatists are rutinely ridiculed and held under twenty four seven suspicion. On the contrary this approach will help IS.

Now, I believe we have made a coalition we can be proud of, thanks to the wise president mr. Barack Obama, and he will be a hero of ours, not only now, but also in the story books. You could say, with a peace agreement with Iran, he would have concluded his foreign campaign with skill. A mixed dimplomatic/agressive stance with new strategic ideas and processes. Thank you Barack.

G-d bless the wise and the strong.

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, it is about following your conscience in a very difficult environment of harrasment, ridicule and outright persecution by the society at large and the civilservices in particular. The persecution is often manical and ridiculous, otherwise sober and serious persons become like children and forfeit all manners and civility. Why is it so?

Plato has this explanation that I took to heart at the beginning of my career as a philosopher. In his famous allegory of the cave he explains the relationship between man and light (truth), like this.

Man sits at the end of a cave, he are tied to the wall with strings, making sure, that they are only able to look into the end of the cavewall. Behind them is a small wall, and behind the wall is a small bonfire where machinators walk to and fro with cardboards of different shapes. The shapes casts shadows at the cavewall, so that man will see the light of the bonfire manipulated with the shapes of the machinators. Behind the bonfire and the machinators is a long tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel is an opening. Outside is the sun, and here roams the philosophers. The task of the philosopher is to bring the light into the tunnel, past the machinators, and show it to man. But, even though one would think that man would be happy for the light, after all, it is quite a work for the philosopher to get the light all the way down to man, strangely enough, man is not happy. As soon as man is projected to real truth and light, he will start trashing and try to hit the philosopher.

If we look at this allegory, we can perhaps understand what is happening in Europe right now. There are many machinators, propagandists, people who want to control man and keep man in place. Strangely enough man likes this, and is happily seduced by this and that figuremaker. Take the idea of islamophobia. This is a lie, there is no sickness in fearing Islam, in fact this is good to do, this will make you alert when it comes to understanding the dark side of Islam. But many machinators use this diagnosis on man, to make him shut up. Man is happy to remain tied to that lie, because it is an easy fix.

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 bible.

There is a story about Sodom and Gommora. A situation where all in the city are wicked and evil. No one respects anyone, everybody are greedy and cares only about themselves. In biblical language G-d send his vengeful angels and destroyed the city. This is off cause mythology and stories, but there is grain of truth in it we can use to understand the problems we face today. In Rotherham where so many young girls were treated terribly, what was the cause of this? Angst, yes, everybody was afraid of being branded a racist and lose their jobs and so on. But really, in the knowledge of all the suffering the girls had, who wouldnt want to lose their jobs to right this wrong? Well the sad answer is; no one. No one wanted to give away anything, or very few, to save the girls. Everybody were busy tending their own careers, and would not want to risk anything, a moral collapse.

Or in the case of the Danish police who sees the jihadis as volunteers, knowing very well, that they are killing and maiming Christians in Syria. Why do they do this? Because it is the easiest thing to do. By acknowledging the inhumane act, they save their own skin.

See the pattern?

We are in and out, absolutely corrupted. Not all countries, and not all intellectuals, but the mainstream is.

This is why we need to understand, that there is a consequence to our actions, G-d do live, and there is a price to pay if you do not act humanely in this life, and that is the condemnation by spirit.

G-d bless the will to remain true and ethical in the face of evil.

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 an ancient Mesopotamian idea. Basically it means civilization. That is a collection of rules and ideas that spur society onto a better path. Take the idea of the law. This idea was presented by the Babylonian king Nebuzhanezzar, and has been used ever since. It is just a part of civilization, but the Babylonians would call it a part of ME.

Then there is our form of governance, in Europe we prefer calling it democracy, but in other places and in other phases of history it was called other things. The point is, basically what we have been doing after the Babylonians and the Egyptians seized to function as progressive powers, is mixing the items of civilization around a little. In communism a Spartan priority was sought. A communal militaristic society without ownership and a strong state. But the law was still there, families still there, money, writing, science and so on. On the democratic side we have and still have ownership, a smaller state, freedom of speech, a strong focus on a positve use of science and so on. But basically all the different building blocks are the same.

Civilization remains more or less the same.

How do we then enact utopia? We do it by crafting a society where all the elements of ME are in a true balance. This is what I have been working on for some time. Making a good balance between state, religion, politics, media, law and science.

We are unbalanced. In some countries we have too much state, others a too corrupt state, some countries have too little law. But at the end of the day, it is basically all a matter of balance.

G-d bless the wisdom of the Babylonian.

I have had a dramatic increase in traffic on the blog, this is off cause good, but it has come to the point where the host is complaining about too much trafic. Today I was shut down for some time.

For now I have shut down some statistics tools and this increases the performance of the blog. But with the current rate of growth it will soon not be enough either.

So I urgently urge you to chip in and help rubicon.dk afloat. It is a non-profit blog, no one makes any money, in fact I pay the hosting myself.

To really host the blog on a secure and scalable server, the price will be much higher than what I pay now.

So please, chip in. All the money you pay to the blog, will be used at hosting, and to make it transparent, I will post how much people have payed to the blog.

Thank you very much for your help!

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 officials do about the problems, not mentioning the torture of my little girl to stop me criticizing their neo communist, pro Islamist stance?

They call the IS fighters, coming home form Syria, now brace yourself for the absurdity; volunteers!

As though a trip to Iraq killing yazidis, demolishing artifact that belong to humanity, raping young poor girls, slaughtering prisoners, is something positive!

Volunteering is going to places and helping other people, giving them relief, sharing your wealth and means, not hanging people by the rope!

So let us add all the acts of the Danish state up. First it was making a communist a minister, then it was inviting an Islamist preacher to Denmark at the 9/11, then it was torturing my little girl, now it is harbouring and supporting IS fighters. In Aarhus, where the openly IS mosque is situated, that is where they are calling IS fighters volunteers. Is that a coincidence?

I am just asking, and I am horrified that they get away with it, some partner indeed.

G-d bless the will to remain strong in fierce opposition and total moral collapse.

Sunni Muslims in general are extremely afraid of the rise of the Islamic State. It brings a lot of bad press to the Muslim community. And now it is not only the right wing, but also the left wing and centre that supports a forceful crackdown on all who are affilited with IS.

What will we do, us who are in knowing of a peaceful and humane Islam? I mean mr. al-Sisi the leader of Egypt is a kind man, he is also a sunni muslim, my uncle who builds bridges in Bangladesh and is a skilled engeneer is a muslim and a kind man, are they the same as Islamic State? Off cause not, and it will be a grave mistake to mix things up. We in the West should be able to discern between those who have gone all in on a jihadi revolutionary path, and those who accept and support a civilized and peaceful manner. In Egypt, there is a strong connection between the Copts, an ancient Christian denomination and the current president, in fact it is only due to Sisi that the Copts still exist in Egypt.

So there is another way, and we in the West should respect and support that.

G-d bless the will of spirit in its quest for humanity and peace.

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 or mosque, all afillited with the organization should be expelled. If you are caught preparing jihad in Iraq or Syria after looking at an internetpage promoting that aim, you are to loose your citizenship immediately.

This will, if the forecasts are true, stop the activity and give the remaining muslims as well as other minorities room for a good and prosperous life within the frame of our democratic rights and possibilities.

There will be hardheaded islamist organizations in the country, who will refuse to follow the orders of the municipality, they will most probably start a guerilla fight to remain, or set up a caliphate. They should be met with the armed forces, who will fight down their caliphate, and let democratic rule descend upon the place again.

In this fight we can use our experience from the fight in Israel. The weakest spot of the islamists is their ledership. So we focus on the leaders, using hightech weaponry as drones and other mechanized arms. So again we need to wrap up R&D in small arms robotry.

War will pit the two sides against each other, so that the populace wil be divided into a democratic front as well as a caliphatist front. The war will continue for many years to come, and we will have to conduct it as humanely as possible. We therefor have to ensure, that all cases of prosecution should be done within the frame of our legal system. Islamists will have the right to defend themselves, and prove their innocence. If they lose their citizenship and have little material possensions, the states should help them economically with their new life in their old country. Again islamists who are not newcomers to the country cannot lose their citizenship, since they have, through their families, earned extra credit.

G-d bless the willingness to remain fair in a difficult situation.

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 at an early stage. We both have close connection to Muslims through family, so I believe we share a sound understanding of what Islam can also be in terms of sound family values and just people. Add to this a first hand knowledge of the strategies that was conducted early on, you could say we were ideological avantgarde. Now we are not avantgarde anymore, now we are mainstream.

Through the last seven years some of the critical stances we have had fell of deaf ears, because it came too early. But we have to use the ideas anyway, and though I hate repeating myself, I will do it anyway.

If we look at the domestic challenge with islamists, we should realize, that the problem is so large, that it will take some time to solve it. It will also cost a lot of money, resources and so on. But right now the situation is so critical, that we have no choice.

The numbers are also extremely scary. One openmouthed mosque here in Denmark openly supports Islamic State, and the really scary part is the fact, that no of the other mosques reject them. So we are in fact looking at a islamist penetration of around 100% in the sunni mosques. I have heard other numbers as 80% penetration and so on, and it is probably right. So the fighters that travel to Iraq and kill our journalists, are just the tiny tip of the iceberg. They are just the symptom not the real problem. The real problem is the huge number of Muslims in Europe that support them, and make it possible for them to move forward.

So what has happened? Well, we have been too naive, and known very little about Islam. On top of this, we have been weak due to the second world war and all the self esteem and pride we lost there.

At the end of the line, we are facing an existential threat. If we do nothing, with the birthrate of the muslim immigrants, they will have taken over our territory within the next twenty to thirty years.

So what do we do? Well first of all we have to work upon our own self worth. We have to rekindle the faith in democracy, in Christianity, in Judaism, and off cause support a humane Islam.

We are heading for another round against the islamists. Here on 9/11 it is probably a good thing to walk down memory lane a bit.

9/11 was the first wake up call. In this confrontation we realized, that there was a new enemy out there, and mr. George Bush chose to enter into two wars to try and fight it. It did some good, but also some bad. But all in all, it was a spell for us to wake up from. For too long had we just chosen to ignore the fact that a radical islamic movement was forming and gaining strength worldwide.

I think Mr. George Bush got too little credit for his first try on beating Al-Queda. I believe in hindsight he will be given the honors that he is really entitled too. Instead of cawing in, he showed spirit, and though the rest of the world did not want to acknowledge the threat, he did, and almost fought single handedly with Osama bin Laden. This really laid out the groundwork that we are building on today.

So what was really the next step in the ongoing controversy between the West and the radical Sunnis, and some Shia? It was the Mohammed cartoon Crisis. In this crisis Denmark was really put on the front of international media, and mr. Anders Fogh also made quite a show of defending western values as freedom of speech. In this fight he also showed a lot of strength and intelligence. He will be commented for this in the history books as well. In btw. this was also the scene upon which I and my organization Stop Islamization of Denmark (together with mr. Anders Gravers) entered world politics. What was really the outcome of this crisis? It was a renewed focus on the ideological matters. In the Bush era, there was not much of ideology in the fight. Bush was a neocon, but at the end of the day, he just fought for his country, and had a feeling for the urgency of the task.

The ideological extension on the same war, was, in all humility my job. In SIAD I tried to analyze the confrontation, and ended up concluding, that we had a fight between two basic political ideologies. One the idea of a Muslim caliphate, two Democracy.

This really fueled the beginning of mr. Barack Obamas presidency, and was the ideological motor in the Libyan war. Remember? How they wielded the reflection of the tricolore? How the french fighter bombers went in without cover to land the first few bombs? It was a war for glory, as back two hundred years ago. It really strung a cord for both Americans and French gendameries.

So now we are here. The entire West has focused on the task at hand. But to the horror of the West, we realize, that they are not only in the Middle East, they are here among us. And that at a degree we have never though possible. 1000 British citizens fighting in Iraq. You have to add all the infrastructure, all the mosques, all the families in Britain that are backing the IS fighters, to really get a grip of the magnitude of the threat in Europe, to really realize the current threat.

The fact is, it has moved from a foreign problem, to a domestic problem. We have to come to grips with this reality, sooner or later, preferably sooner.

They are all over, they are raping our kids, and we havent even begun to do something about it.

Only rushing into Iraq, without a plan on the domestic situation, will just leave our kids in harms way. We should realize this.

G-d bless the will to see straight and be swift in action.

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 as a nation.

Ukraine has been caught up in the tensions between the old cold war players. And though Ukraine just wanted to be a happier place with less corruption, in the end it ended up in ethnic conflicts, though the etnicities are not that far from each other.

I tried my best to find a solution, making a compromise. In the end, it materialized as I envisioned it.

So please let me explain my motives for my council. First of all, as the days went past, and the Maidan revolution gained momentum, there was a breaking point, where there were no way back. It was either a diplomatic break or a break in terms of warshed.

In this situation, there was no way Ukriane could be held together. There was no way a solution could have been reached through a diplomatic deal. All there was left to do, was to try and land a solution without tearing all of Europe into pieces, this was the stakes.

In this proces, the selfesteem, of Ukraine has suffered, and the national basis has been hurt. Not to mention the hate and animosity that has been built up between the warring factions.

In conflict and war, you cannot always find a solution, where all are happy, sometimes you just have to find a solution where people do not kill each other.

I am sorry, I truly wished for a solution that was more joyful for all, but you got caught up in the big game, and that is a very dangerous place to be.

I now hope, that you may settle down, find peace, and realize, that in the end, it was just a stupid war. Perhaps in a generation or two, you will be good friends again.

May you have peace.

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 Rakel has not been saved, she still lives at the mercy of the disgusting prime minister of Denmark Thorning-Schmidt. But at least Schmidt has been ostrasized by the rest of the Western world.

I must say however, this is not the case with ms. Angela Merkel. She has done all a people could have asked of a true leader, and through her conduct given peace to Europe. This could not have been done without the wise conduct of mr. Putin, who steered through the entire crisis with an eye of peace, and an eye on the welthfare of the Russian people. He will rightfully be inscribed in the history books as the greatest leader of Russia in modern times. Turning a tidal wave so strong it seemed impossible, and giving the right amount of help to Russians in need of support. I salute you mr. Putin, may your legacy live to be praised by the people of Russia.

All there is left is me, and I must say, I have been the true looser in the sense of getting to a better place for me and my small family. Nothing has changed. My opponent in the face of the child torturing Thorning has been ostrasized, but Rakel is still at the mercy of the PET. An organization that has shunned all responsibility of the rise of IS here in Denmark, in fact it has just installed a homecoming cometee of psychologists to take care of the poor soldiers chopping of heads of Americans. Imagine the arrogance!

But, G-d willing this nightmare will end soon, one way or another.

G-d bless the will of the strong as he protects the weak.

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 given habitat, but also of a greater scale with ideologies and different groups against each other.

We try to dampen this mechanism of the nature by putting in law, and protect the weak, but at the large scale usually this will do little. We have the UN, but it is also corrupted, and only if the guardians of the peace are truly strong in terms of wisdom and justice, will the mechanism actually work.

This is what Israel is supposed to do, and I hope we will improve this institution by constant vigilance and a sincere care for the world and its inhabitants.

We have just been through an enormous war in and around Israel, and I hope that all the participants feel that at least here from rubicon.dk we have been fair to all. Off cause I have to defend Israel, but it should always be with an eye on justice and honour.

This honour that is given to enemies and fighters is not something you can buy or change into material gains. It is a ressource that is gained as esteem in the eyes of the world.

This is what Hamas and Islamic jihad has actually reached.

On the other hand, Israel has reached peace.

This is a close as we get to a conclusion of the war with all parts feeling that their right has been obtained.

G-d bless the peace of humanity and the fairness that is the product of Israel.

Now there has been a lot of talk about strategy towards IS, everybody knows it is almost impossible to stop them, because they are already living amongst us. Recently a hapless old lady was killed in cold blood, just because she was in the way of a Muslim on a rampage.

But just because it is difficult does not mean we should not do anything. We, of cause have to solve the problem.

If we look at the underlying problem. We must realize, that the greatest problem is the fact that the Islamists use our own best principles to their advantage. We are not prone to cast people out of the country, because we feel sorry for them, we will protect their human rights and so on.

So we have tied our hands, ourselves. This we have to do away with. We will have to do what is necessary, like expelling people who are living in our countries, if they are criminal, are Islamists or in other ways threaten our society.

Things are heating up in Europe, the terrible, terrible scandal of the grooming of all the hapless girls of Rotherham is a warning for all who are defined as protectors of Europe.

The reason why I have been excluded from the Danish society, in btw., is because if criticized some of the same behavior here in Denmark five years ago.

Now, if we look upon who are with and who are against the Islamic state here in Europe, first of all we should notice, that very few places have they actually claimed presence. They are there, but not really in the open.

Except for Denmark! One of the more radical Sunni mosques in a city called Aarhus has openly supported IS, making small badges available for their followers! In a total mockery of our Danish forces, they made a copy of a small badge we put on our cars to support our troops. Just a black one with an IS logo on it.

And you know what? Nobody reacted, only after two weeks did the police do something. Talk about being unprepared. Or when you think of it. It is not a matter being unprepared. They know, that is the infamous PET, they know they are there, they just choose to ignore it. Using all their resources to quell all critical stances towards their disgusting conduct.

So is Denmark a victim? Well you choose yourself whether you support this or that party in a conflict. If you choose to support IS, being well aware that they have just killed two American journalists in cold blood, well which side are you on?

If you add the fact that they have tortured a little Jewish girl, that the Jewish school in Copenhagen was recently attacked and no condemnation was heard by the authorities, except for a few minor politicians.

So what does this add up to?

If you look at it with open eyes, and with all rationality. It ads up to the fact, that Denmark, shelters and cooperates with IS supporters maybe even central parts of the IS leadership.

At the same time Denmark persecuted and tortures Jews, and is unresponsive to attacks on Jewish schools.

Shame on Denmark. Coming from a position in the Second World War where Denmark supported its Jews, to a position where it collaborates with the filth of the earth.

Beats me why they do it, but all who have just a bit of sense, should either see Denmark as an enemy, or at least put a great gap between themselves and Denmark in terms of diplomacy. Until they start protecting the Jews and stop the Islamic State.

G-d bless the will to be free.

To understand an enemy, you need to understand his mindset and his way of fighting. This I have done with Hamas and Islamic jihad, as a consequence they are falling apart. When lord Nelson bombed Copenhagen, he won but he did it with little honor.

So a victory can be honorful or dishonest. Hamas, Islamic jihad and behind them Iran have sued for peace. Let us give them that peace that let them keep their honor.

You do not win peace by dishonoring your opponent, you do it by giving him respect.

If we wish to keep the peace we have obtained, we should see that the deal we make will let our opponent keep his honor.

Why? Because this fight was not a fight to crush Hamas, it was a fight to stop the bombings of the south.

Most Arabs and Persians in the Middle East truly believe we are evil. We are not evil, and we should act with honesty and respect towards all, including our enemies. Only in this way will we truly win the peace. Because if our enemies see that we act according to ethical conduct, they will stop attacking us, because they know that we are not that threat they need to fight.

So I really recommend a peace deal that will give Hamas and Islamic jihad an honourable deal.

Victory will then not be a crushing of our enemy, but a deal that will make it possible for our children to go to school.

So what happens if Hamas reearms? Well, we control all traffic to Gaza, and Islamic state will soon reunite all of the world against them. So they will be the bad boy on the block. Hamas and Islamic jihad will be more or less small, small players not posing any threat to anybody.

G-d bless the benevolence of a true kind person.

Well, mr. Barack Obama have been criticized for not delivering a comprehensive strategy to counter the threat of the Islamic state. Well, having worked on this problem for a very long time, and having listened and worked with my friend mr. Barack Obama, I dare to disagree.

First of all, it is not that simple, we are confronting an enemy we created ourselves, and the difficult challenge is in fact not facing the enemy with weapons or send marines after them. The difficult challenge is to change ourselves.

How did we end up here holed up in our own back yard with marauders laughing at us at they cut our throats and raped our daughters? We ended up here, because the last generation; the 68 put us here.

They preached love, forgiveness, tolerance by laying down our weapons and sing kumbaya. So we tried that, we reined in our military involvement to some extent, we tried to dissuade our military to do anything, we sang songs of peace, and hoped that the communist utopia with no boundaries, no ownership and total brotherhood would be the answer.

Well, here we are. Instead of giving us brotherhood it gave us a nightmare beyond belief.

In Europe the 68 have built up a strong system to enforce their ideology. Whenever someone dares to critisize their legacy a bit, they persecute that individual with all the tools of the state, and take away their honour by calling them racist. “Tolerance” has became a system of disgusting repression, taking away our freedom. Some countries are more hit than other with Sweden taking the lead.

What is wrong with this, apart from the absurd hypocracy? The problem is simply the quality of the ideas.

Many thousand years ago, a Viking with the name of Beowulf, Bee wolf, hit the shores of ancient England. There an unimaginable force of deceit and evil was upon the scared ancient Englishmen. A horror called Grendel.

Yet again England looks upon its roots for salvation. Yet again the fair men of England is beset with a monster of evil and deceit, yet again the fear of the monster is what drives the English to loose their courage.

I urge you to look back into your history and remember the heroes of battles won in earlier generations. What was it, that gave them victory? What was it that saved the day for the green islands of beauty?

When lord Nelson faced the threat of he lumbering armada, slowly nearing the shores of England. What did he do with his able ships? He fought, day and night, through storm and stillwater, through dangers and horrors. And when he had his enemy at his will. He went in with a ferocious power. An old seaman indeed. Not afraid of being called this or that. But a fighter, so eager to finally meet his enemy, that he tore the Frenchmen to pieces.

This is England, unafraid of the dangers ahead, fighters at the grace of G-d.

Once again this spirit of England has to be awakened, to protect the maidens of England, so much at danger in every corner of England. How will they prevail, if they are not protected by the strong hand of her knight in shining armor? How will she keep her self esteem, her grace and due beauty.

All hands on deck! This would be the commandment of lord Nelson.

And so it shall sound again. Once again England is beset with another Grendel, once again will the freedom be attained only by the unity and bravery off all who call themselves English.

G-d bless the fair islands of the people of England.

So, we are around one month from destruction day in Europe, and two months from destruction day in the US. According to Saudi Arabia, the first attacks on European soil will come in a month, the US will be hit in two months.

So are we ready for this? Yes and no. Ideologically we have seen a huge shift in the mindset of the West. Coming from a locked down situation where the socialist hated the conservatives. We have actually found a huge middle ground in the fight against the Islamists.

Especially the conservatives have developed new ideas in Europe, and especially the liberals have developed new ideas in the US.

The common ground we have, is the fight for democracy against a destructive ideology called Islamism. In fact it is basically the radical part of Sunni Islam that is targeting everything that is not Sunni. I mean everybody. They do not discriminate. Either you are against them, or for them.

Now we can chose to underestimate them, or we can recognize the force or their challenge. They are numerous and the they are well armed. Europe is in a true danger of being toppled, not all of Europe, but Islamists will try to carve out their caliphates in a range of countries across Europe, the weakest states will be the first targets, then we each chose our destiny.

How do you counter a radical revolutionary ideology that have no boundaries to their conduct, and are entrenched in your own society?

You do it by rekindling your own values, and fight for what you believe in. They fight for the caliphate and control over all of the world. We fight for democracy, and our freedom.

We need to wrap up research and development in technical tools to counter the threat. It will be a small arms fight in many local areas in Europe. So we need technical solutions for a savage guerrilla warfare. Robots, exoskeleton suits and everything that will give us the edge over the Islamists.

In many countries the entire political as well as bureaucratical system is infiltrated, so the process of cleaning our systems, will be very painful and difficult. But there is no way around it. If the Islamists are in the system, we need to get them out, otherwise they will use their positions to gain advantage in terms of media coverage, ressources, physical backing (some places they have even infiltrated the police ), political support and so on.

But, warfare tends to sort out these things by itself, the public pressure on the allies of the Islamists in the system will be so forceful, that it will have to change. I mean, after a hundred Lee Rigby cases, people will get tired of the Scotland Yard trying to kill and silence the Tommy Robinsons.

I for one hope for a humane and responsible conduct. Remember we are only fighting people, who have homes, wifes, hopes for their children too. They are inhuman in their methods, but they are also humans themselves. An enemy is often just your enemy, because you stand in his way. He will try to take what is yours, because there is no room for both of you. He will use what tools is to his availability, in this case tools of unimaginable terror and horror, but evil is only his actions not necessarily his values.

G-d bless the will to remain human in a situation where all humanity disappear.

So the aftermath of the war against Hamas and Islamic jihad is starting. We are entering a period of reflection and soul searching. Did we do it right, was mr. Netanyahu wrong in this way or the other way. Let me be absolutely clear about this. Mr. Netanyahu did what he was recommended, and he did what he though was the right action at the right time. In the beginning he followed the advice of mr. Lieberman, after he recognized the fact, that a ground invasion was going in the wrong direction, I had the honor of his ear.

Fighting Cold War style is extremely difficult if you are strong in arms, and weak in the media. This was the odds we faced, we were weak in media and strong in arms. So the obvious strategy was to pound Hamas with all our strength, thereby giving Hamas all it could in terms of victory in the media, forcing Israel to a defeat through the intervention of the international community.

We however came out as a victor, because we saw through the plot, and held back at a critical time. This gave the scene to the Islamic State in international media, and we therefor put the fight to a slow halt.

As of now. There are many alliances that have actually shifted. Europe is behind Israel again, because we can see that the trouble Israel is facing is the same trouble we are facing, and this on scale unimaginable to Europeans. We have been living in peace for long, now we have to gear up to savage warfare in our own back yard. The Arabs nation is also behind us now. So the alliances we used to have have shifted tremendously to our favor.

This itself is a huge victory.

Hamas is a very small player internationally, we are one of the main players. So we should keep things in perspective. We are not fighting Hamas, we are fighting for our own survival in an international community where we are often fighting with our backs against the wall.

Looking ahead a few years, the strengths we have are more usable. The Islamic state have gotten a very bad start, and the entire world are actually fighting them. We are living right beside them, and we will be the spearhead of the West against them.

Thereby turning from a villain to a hero. That is a much healthier place.

So we need to keep things in perspective, and not be too harsh on each other. In a war there are rarely any true victors. All lose a lot, and it is only if we are warm at hearth and stop the belief that our enemies are evil, we will truly prevail, and keep a cool head.

But so far, I believe that we should applaud mr. Netanyahu for his courageous and wise leadership, he has won the day, and he should be treated as our finest hero in this time of need.

G-d bless our tiny world, with a flickering light to lead the world to unity and peace.

To determine who won the war between Israel and Hamas/Islamic Jihad, one needs to discuss what the criteria for a victory was. The thing is, both parties actually won. Hamas came from being totally out maneuvered to actually have some friends, and therefor has a serious comeback.

Israel went into the war to secure its southern flank, and stop the rockets from flying, this is exactly what has happened. We still need to see the ceasefire to be working. But if it works, it will have met the criteria for a victory for Israel as well. I did not intend this, in fact from the beginning of the war, I wanted Hamas to lose. But Hamas really won their own honor back, fighting pretty well.

We still need to see the peace deal settle, but with some serious diplomacy, it will hold. After all. If the war continues, Israel is set on a course of eliminating Hamas with the new tactics of going after the leadership in direct hits backed by the secret service.

Hamas can now choose which side it will support; the humane side or the neo caliphate side. It is up to them. If they choose peace and humanity, we will help in rebuilding Gaza, and hopefully maintain a lasting peace. If Hamas choose Islamic state, we will fight them. Not that it will be easy in any way, but this is what we do; defend the poor, the weak and those in need of support of a strong and warm hand.

G-d bless the will to meet peace.

The alliances are shifting these days, the official Sunni leadership have renounced the support to Hamas, due to the fact, that Hamas supported the Muslim Brotherhood. Loyalty matters.

I however hope, that Hamas finally finds themselves ready to make a peace deal. The thing is, it is over. There are no more support for Cold War style fighting. The entire system is finished, and the fight that is now commencing will put people into two camps, those against the destructive caliphate, and those for a humane and peaceful world.

There will be no tones of political affiliation in between, this is war, this is how war works.

It is almost last call, so unless Hamas finally gets serious about this, the war of attrition, that is taking its toll on the leadership of Hamas, will be continued to its final conclusion, that is the disbandment of Hamas, and the solution of peace that is possible with Fatah commenced.

You fought well, you deserve a good deal, but if you do not accept any deal, we are forced to continue the fighting. Not in a immoral way, but in a precise and focused way, targeting the leaders who are responsible.

G-d bless the peace we can find.

The conflict in Ukraine is slowly finding a new mode. Not just an ever increasing war of mutual animosity, but due to the personal involvement by Ms. Merkel, have the conflict been turned around. This is it, serious and constructive leadership that aim at a peaceful solution. It should be possible, this conflict is not about ideological conflicts, but about a regional stubbornness when it comes to sharing and giving.

What is wrong with accepting that some slavs have another language? What is wrong with plurality in a state? Why can a federalization not be a possible path.

I hereby give my hundred percent support to the efforts of Ms. Merkel in her attempt to create peace in Ukraine. A nation can have different languages, as long as the basic virtues of the state is respected and supported by the entire body of citizens.

This calls for reconciliation and understanding, not meaningless conflict.

G-d bless the will to make peace.

In the current war with the radical part of Sunni Islam, we have won one very important victory; the sympathy of the media. It was almost tipped over in the Gaza/Israel war, and had we lost the sympathy of the media, we would have lost the war on a greater scale.

In practice what has happened is a shift of tactics by the radical Sunnis. Before they used Cold War techniques as infiltration, media manipulation, propaganda and academic infiltration. It did them no good this time, because the bloggers of the world have become a counterpart to media, so that it is not possible to manipulate the entire populace of the west. Bottom line, all the Israeli/Gazan war has accomplished is a huge turnout in terms of support for IS.

IS does not play the Cold War game, it plays by the natural rules of conquest; kill or be killed, scare your enemy into submission, con him if you can. These tactics are as old as mankind, and have a certain effect on the weak minded as France who have succumbed to the threats of the IS, and bought back their prisoners.

In this kind of fight, what is needed is courage and stamina. There is no compromise, and if you succumb to the will of your enemy, he will see it as a sign of weakness, and he will, naturally target you as the next target, because theses savages will work according to the basic principle of nature; the rule of the strong.

So in the end, it ends up being much more a phychological game than only a game of military logistics.

When we pray for something, we are the little guys, humble, listening to what spirit might have to tell us. We try to be honest to what path spirit may have chosen for us. These indication are always right, they always brings us onto a better place. Sometimes in the small matters, sometimes in the large matters. But, always, if we are humble and listen, will the ideas of spirit leads us to the right place.

So we know, that there is something that is protecting us, guiding us. And we know therefor, that there is hope. This is a lesson we should hold onto in these difficult times, where we are confronted with horrors, challenges, hardships. We need to listen to spirit. Because he has a plan, and we need to follow that plan. The goals are, and must be, as he knows; peace, justice, joy for mankind. Not sacrilege and pain.

Sometimes when war is upon us, we forget to listen to G-d, we are all inflamed by the moment, and we are doing things rashly and without the thought of what comes after the war. The tradegy and pain we give to others, will untimately have to be repented. Because the wounds we give to others do not disappear, it will be our own faults that we somehow have to seek forgiveness of when everything is finished.

So we need to understand, that what we do at the spur of the moment, will we have to go back to at a later stage of our lives, and try to undo.

There is no faults in protection. We should not accept being slaughtered, because also that is a crime. Suicide will not hold us free from blame. The difficult balance is the balance between protection and aggression. This calls for a reflective process, where we, all the time try to understand the consequences of what we do, see it from the perspective of our enemies as well, and seek a path, that is both forceful in defense, and meek in destruction. This is why the precision is paramount. We need to destroy as little as possible. Keep innocents from harm, and try to keep the final bill of the war as small as possible.

This is important, otherwise we are just dragged down to the same level as our enemies, and they would love that, but that would be a sin. We are not sinners, we are defenders of the weak. Strong in ideas, strong in arms, but not weak in conscience.

G-d bless the wise in battle and the strong in applying the adequate force.

One thing is sure, the Islamic State are direct. Now they have threatened to kill one journalist, and have already killed one. The bargain is clear; we will kill more, if you do not do as we say.

The language is simple, rule or be ruled. The rule of the strongest. This language will be the language we will talk for the rest of the conflict. There will be no pardon given, no result of any talks, just a huge war of attrition. The Gaza conflict will look like a picnic in the Central Park compared to this war that is coming.

For the western leaders, we should realize, that there is no room of negotiation, no way we can make a deal. We can try, but it will be upturned the day after. The direct aim of the caliphatists is clear, they want to rule the entire world, not just Iraq. They will either be stopped or succeed. Is is this a realistic idea? Well what did people think about Alexander the Great when he started conquering Persia with 50.000 men, and Persia had the ressources of 2 million men? Or when Hitler did the same with a book he wrote in prison? To when Lenin made his first attempts on revolution? Never underestimate an idealist. Few men can change the world with dedication and sacrifice.

So the challenge is real.

Winston Churchill was an adamant criticizer of the rise of Nazi Germany. Many, especially the Americans did not really understand why they should get involved in yet another devastating war in Europe, until they opened the gates of Birkenau and Auswitch.

Had we listened to Churchill at an earlier time, things would not have gotten so much out of hand, perhaps Hitler could have been stopped at the gates of Poland, and remained a very positive figure. But because Europe was so war weary, we did not react until it was almost too late.

This lesson is important to remember these days where the Islamic state is on a rampage in the Middle East. We should not be naiv, they are coming to our world sooner or later. In a few years it will not be yazidis who are hanging on crosses but Christians and Jews, in Europe.

If you act in a timely manner, with intelligence and humanity, you can avoid the atrocities that would happen if you ignore the problems.

So, it is time to realize the threat and act on it. But, never indulge in hate and all out war. Because there are many Muslims who wish for a progressive and humane world.

Our task should be to always keep the upper moral ground, never get lost in a reactive tit for tat. This has served us very well in the first phase of the conflict, we should consider this method to be the basis on witch we plan out strategies. Keep our heads clear and act according to the best strategy, not just what we might feel and what angers us.

My father was a very, very wonderful person. I loved him with all a boy could love with. He was a Muslim. He was always an example to me, a wise and strong person. Therefor I know all Muslim are not just evil persons. Muslims are like everybody else, fighting for their spot in the sun, trying to make a better world for their children than what they had themselves. But the ideology of the Islamic state is horrendous. It is as simple as that.

To be a humanist, a Mahathma Ghandhi a Nelson Mandela a Winston Churchill, a Martin Luther King, a Christian X, one has to be honest to the values of a nation. We did inherit these values from exactly the place that is under the dark banner of the Islamists; Mesopotamia, Uruk, Babylon.

We should call for a true vision of these values again. Stop the slaughter, be true to the spiritual calling of G-d. We are just here to bring the harmony between men, not to elevate ourselves to the level of G-ds ourselves. We should be humble and respect life as the gift it is, not just slaughter innocent people, be it monotheist or polytheists.

G-d bless the peace we will win, if we look through the veils of confusion and fear.

We are getting closer to a solution in the Israeli/Gazan conflict. Still there are many principles to turn and understand. But hopefully we will reach a conclusion within the next one or two months.

A lot of prestige is invested in the deal. World powers are convening, local men of great strength are a part of the discussion. Some are winners some are losers, but the overall trend is, that all of the great powers are actually winning, one way or the other.

It seems to me, that the Americans have been sidelined a bit in the current negotiations. First the process Kerry initiated went wrong, then there was the negotiations with Quatar and Turkey that went wrong as well. Now we have an alliance of the Arab Nations, Israel, Iran and Russia.

If we get closer to a real deal, I really advice getting the Americans in as well. They are key players in the region, and if they get in, areas in other parts of the world could be included in the negotiations. Friendship and goodwill won in one area could perhaps we shared in another area.

I know things are difficult sometimes, but we are all in the same boat, and if Mr. Barack Obama gets some of the credit of the deal, he will be in a much better mood when it comes to make good deals elsewhere.

G-d bless the deals that eventually will lead to peace.

Jews fleeing persecution is not something that has happened once, or twice, or a hundred times. It happens, as we speak in Europe again. Sixty years after the last time.

Sometimes music can express things more clearly than words.

Some years back, I went on the Camino. That is a Christian route of pilgrimage to the beautiful church of Santiago de Compostella. That tour was, in many ways, changing for me. I took great leaps of progress with myself, and I met many young people from all around Europe. One of the persons I met, was this young German. He was bended, and searching for something. He seemed to have lost his soul. He was on a mission to refind it. This gave me a feeling for the German loss and the tragedy that the second world war was for Germans. They simply lost their soul. The economy is very good, thanks to the Americans, but the feeling of being German and being proud of that identity is still not really possible.

We as Jews were at the end of that brutal war machine that Nazi Germany was. My own great grandmother had to flee in a small fishing boat over the Øresund. So I have no illusions about the course of the Nazi regime, or the depravity and sheer evil that was in Nazisms. In fact I have met some Nazis here in Denmark, and the coldness, and the emptiness of their gaze really chills me. They are squeezed out of society, and a regime fallen is always a sad sight, but evil will not rest if it is given too much space to roam.

The negotiations are coming to an end, so much prestige is invested, so much is hinged upon this little peace deal.

These are my reflections.

First of all, things are actually shaping up for the better of Israel. New machines to detect the tunnels are under development, the iron dome defense system is improving. So, if the current development is continued, in a year or two, Israel will actually have used science to protect itself. So that is good news.

In the political sphere, the politicians, seem to have widened up their game. The realization that Gaza is just the symptom and not the cause, will help a lot. We are in a position to make peace with the Arab nation, and if mr. Barack Obama makes peace with Iran, we have peace with both sides, giving us the ability to invest time and money in a plan to enhance this peace deal. How do we do that? We do it by contributing, positively, to the spiritual and material development of our new friends. Both iran and the Arab nation is in want of development, but on their own terms. They see India, Brazil, China and many more countries developing, and they want to be part of this new progress. This is what we can help them with, we have the knowledge and the tech to ensure a peaceful progress.

Add to this the development of the intellectual basis of the Middle East, and in ten to twenty years, the constant fighting could be changed into peace and prosperity.

Now, focusing back on Gaza. There are different demands that should be balanced off. First of all, Hamas wants an airport and a seaport. Well, as I see it, these are good things for all. As long as Israel can monitor the freight, so that no weapons of a certain size can be imported. Then I can’t see the problem. Right now, most things are brought into Gaza through the tunnels, but that will not last, because the tunnels are being destructed. So they need somewhere to import things. If we can monitor it, we will actually have a better chance at securing what goes in and out of Gaza than before.

The next problem is then the disarmament of Hamas. They refuse. Well, I understand that, they need to be ready for some of the clashes that might arise with other groups. At the other hand Israel needs to be safe from the rockets. So my proposal is, that Hamas should hand over its rockets, and destroy the production facilities. They are not of much anyway. As the Iron dome develops, they are slowly getting obsolete. They can the keep all the other armament as small arms, RPGs and so on.

Hamas needs to act now to reach a deal. If Hamas remains as the top power broker in Gaza, it can actually decide whether it wants to join the Arab nation in the peace process and be a central player in this development, or just remain in Gaza as the defender of the city. But it needs to act fast, because IS is moving in on them, and taking all the attention.

G-d bless the peace we can make.

So the conflicts are slowly spilling into Europe. Cries of antisemitism, that we forsworn never to hear again is heard in Berlin, in Copenhagen. IS is the new game in town, so much more radical than Hamas.

When we look on war, according to the classical historian Thucydides it works like this; the problems are not the fighting or the killing. It is the conflicts that run in between friends and family. The entire society is torn asunder between the Spartans or the Athenians. Between democracy and spartanism, between democracy and communism, between democracy and islamism.

When people fight, the longer the fighting the more hatred and animosity towards your opponent will come. This we should bear in mind in Europe. The fighting has just been upped a notch. The niceties of propaganda and caring about media has been abandoned, and now we are casting away the masks, and fight as we are. This was also the way it happened in the second world war, in the end, there were nothing that held the russians back when they entered Berlin, and nothing that kept the RAF bombing picturesque German cities. The slaughter just intensified.

Wheel the current development forward ten years, and what have we got? With the rate of escalation, and the feelings frayed and the anger.

We thought the third world war would be between Russia and the US. We actually avoided that, but in the fighting we sowed and now we reap. The enemy is not the Russians, it is the islamists.

To really understand the situation in Israel now, we have to see it in a greater perspective. As of now, there are several warring factions in Gaza, and new ones come into the game right now.

Gaza reflects the changing tides of politics in the world and in the Middle East, when socialism was strong, the rebels or fighters were socialists. When the Muslim brotherhood were strong, the rebels were a faction of the Muslim brotherhood.

Now, the new fighter is IS. In reality this player is outwards strong and successful, but in the great game they are quite weak. They have a few halfhearted friends, but none really strong. So far they have funded themselves more or less.

If you compare this to Hamas, who had and still has a strong support in especially socialist political environments in Europe, they are weak. Hamas has been able to whip up support in western media, this is not the case with IS, on the contrary, they have done all the wrong things. So in a way, it is a sign of weakness.

In Gaza Hamas is on its way out, and IS is on its way in. This means, that within half a year, we are dealing with an opponent, that is much weaker in terms of support, in fact we will have help from all around the world beating IS. So, if we can keep our calm, and negotiate with an eye on what is actually happening in and around Israel, we can pull a good deal.

Hamas is not done yet, and in fact, I hope we reach a deal. Hamas seem pretty scared of IS, I would be too, if I lived right besides them, so if I were them, I would make that deal and start defending.

G-d bless the fact that we are still working for peace in an environment that is increasingly hostile to that.

When we are fighting the first thing we lose is our priority. We often end up in our feelings, and start fighting for survival or because we are very, very scared. It is as it is with us humans, after all, when we are threatened with our own extinction, we fight to survive. Me too, for a long time, I fought with the Danish system to survive, so I know the feeling.

But, really, what we fight for, is to win the peace.

In Egypt, there are amazing traditions that we today, in the West, know as humanism. It started in Egypt. In this tradition, each person is a human. We do not act to enrich ourselves, but because we, as shepherds of the world, care for nature, and we do this by seeing the miracles that is all around us, in the buzzing of the bee, and the rays through the water as it travels through fish and waves. In this tradition, we understand the light as the truth. We are true to ourselves, and to all around us. We can either choose the light of the moon, as Osiris or the light of the sun as Ra. The light of the moon to gently give our listeners a path to a better world. The light of the sun, to wield the might of the blazing sun, so that corruption is removed.

This is a lesson that is good to remember these days, when all are scrambling for a victory. The victor will be the true. Because the untrue will have been corrupted on his way to power.

The Middle East is changing rapidly, I hope that the lightbringers of all kind, will be able to be honest, and humble in the face of the misery they see, and act in the interest of humanity. As the great Heliopolitan sages decreed.

G-d bless the wisdom of the Egyptians.

In the world, right now, muslims in general, and Sunni muslims in particular, have received some incredibly bad press. It is as though, that all the negative stories that have been floating around in the mass social media, the right wing and on enlightening blogs suddenly come into focus, and people start saying; well maybe all the scarecrows were right.

I have been, and still am to some extent, scarecrow number one. From the beginning of my political career, I have enlightened people about the negative potential of Islam. Read the Koran, and you realize the depth of misery Islam can bring. But then again, it does not have to be like that. When the conquistadors were in South America, they did exactly the same as the IS, just in the name of Christianity.

There is a choice, you can either choose that verse, or the other verse.

Here, we have a faith with the potential of horror and murder, but as all other monotheistic religions founded by Abraham, we have the love option as well.

As of now, it seems to me, that Sunni islam is converging into two separate factions, the very renaissance oriented Sunni rebels, and the modern oriented Arab faction.

One wants to go back to the roots, the other to mix Islam with humanistic ideals. Egypt has gone down this path, Saud i Arabia is going down the path, and many other Arab nations do as well.

This is really the situation. As of now, I believe it is extremely important, that we fight one faction with intelligence and precision, and support the other faction with affection and open-mindedness.

One is our very dangerous and courageous enemy, the other our good friend.

G-d bless the friends we have, and the good deeds we can do when we are duly in understanding and dialogue.

When we entering another phase in the ongoing feud in the Middle East, we should always remember why we do this. I mean, we should always remember that we fight to win the peace, not to extradite judgement on anyone. If we think we are better or have a higher worth than everybody else, well this very thought, brings us to be the lowest of worths. Humility in the face of danger is paramount. Otherwise we misjudge the situation and take false decisions.

My good friend David and I, are working on a plan to realize the interfaith plans of Israel, to contribute to a bridge between all faiths.

This is how we ultimately win the peace, by true understanding, and by having a common ground to stand on.

This task will include the reach out for Muslims as well as Christians.

Peace is not won through military action alone, it is won through dialogue as well. But we need somewhere to meet, where all parts are respected.

G-d bless the will to understand and ultimately listen to one another.

Isil, or rather neo conservative antisemitic Sunni Muslims have gone on a rampage in Iraq. It is absolutely disgusting, and the level of inhumanity is over the top.

Should we engage? We have no choice, they are our dedicated enemies, they are going after us. As long as they have a stronghold with all the ressources they have secured, as long will they contribute to the calamity of the world.

At 9/11 we realized we had an enemy, but it is not until now we realize the depravity of that enemy. It was like when we engaged the nazis, we did not really know how depraved they were, until after we opened the gates of Treblinka and Auswitch.

In the negotiations with Hamas and Islamic jihad. We should be absolutely realistic, analyze the leverage and aim for a deal on this basis. We have the upper hand, because we did show restraint in the final phase. Add to this a new set of alliances, and the Gazans have a very bad hand.

So let them come, be cool and get the best deal in the situation. This deal should be monitor able, be in place for many years, and leave the honor of Hamas and Islamic jihad intact.

G-d bless the peace.

Congrats! Mr. Barack Obama leader of the free world, a particular friend of mine, a valiant fighter for the good. Number one organizer in action, protector of the weak, and yes, then again. My good friend :). I would have made the congratulation yesterday, but my blog is hard pressed by all the visitors there. Good thing for my messages, but a bad thing for uploading new texts.

Anyway, friendships are hard to come by, and in international politics, it is also a kind of an alliance. But for me, I have no country to think about, it is real. Sometimes I realize that having friends over the internet that you never meet, is a stupid thing. I mean, how far have we come in this internet age, that your friends are someone you communicate with over the net, and you do not see.

But, Aristotle claims that, the best friendship are those you have with someone, because you, together have an ethical mission. You are friends in the service of good. I believe, my friendship with you Barack is one of those kinds. We are not perfect, and we have a truckloads of enemies, but at the end of the day, we do what we do to make a difference, to make a better world.

I hope we win, so far, the goals the first term have been met. The economy is in recovery. The second term goals of peace in the Middle East, seem, if you look at them from outside as far away. But if you look at the alignments within the Middle East, they are still good. There will be another fight with Isil, but we are good friends with all the rest.

I hope this will give you the victory you need in the second term.

Anyway, my friend. There is still hope, and we have not forsaken the democratic anti racist ideology of Change. We are still working, and we will continue until we are no more, or someone kills us. This is it, congratulations, may we have that energy to reach our final goals.

G-d bless you my friend, happy birthday. 🙂

The liberal part of Israel has changed. I read that Amos Oz actually argued for a certain defense. Because as he said, what if someone attacks you with his own child in his lap? This obviously is not an enemy you can reason with, the stupidity and the absurdity of this way of fighting is so far removed from a standard civilized way of doing things, that it just make sense to fight it. Everything else is sheer madness.

But there is a moral aspect to the defense of a civilized nation, and that is, if you do the same as the stupid adversary, he will have dragged you down on his own level.

This calls for a golden middle way. A stance where you defend yourself, but not with excessive means.

You restrain yourself from being dragged down, and you keep your goals clear, that is peace and security. We do not fight to crush out enemy, we fight to win the peace.

This new stand of the peaceniks will hopefully help the right, so that they will see, that we are a serious partner, and are realistic towards the challenges that confront Israel. After all, if we are united, we will stand. If we are divided we will fall.

G-d bless Israel.

Thank you, thank you, thank you mr. Benjamin Netanyahu. The dream of an Israel that will continue to inspire and bring peace to mankind still lives. I had given it up, but still there is hope.

I hear that the conservatives are all for fighting. This is understandable taking the sacrifices and tolls on the Israeli public into consideration. But, hopefully they will see, that a more careful, and more precise way of fighting will bring victory. At the end of the day, victory is all that matters. You will not be remembered for one or the other act in the war, but mostly on the result of the war. Hannibal won all the confrontations with Rome, but the Phoenician civilization is still not remembered while as Roman civilization is the one that has based all of today.

It will take time, and a prolonged conflict will take its toll. But in the end, the winning scenario will be if Hamas and the other Islamist organizations will stop their shelling of the Israeli public. This is all that it is about for Israel.

On a larger scale however, the fall out of the conflict will be determining the course of Europe. Your win, will, hopefully strengthen the rising criticism of the all out nazi conduct by Islamists here. We are in this together. If we save Israel, we safe the European continent as well.

Again, thank you. The western civilization, that Israel is a product of also. Just got a reprieve, a reprieve we will try to use to rebound.

We are yours indebted.

G-d bless Israel, and all it’s valiant fighters.

When we discuss the advent of the current crisis in Israel and related to its surroundings, we need to understand how war works in an international society.

Before the advent of the internet, you could not know what they thought in Israel if you lived in Iran, or the other way around. Today, you can just click on a newspaper or a blog, and you will know.

This calls for a renewal of tactics when it comes to war.

In the old paradigm, the Soviet Union were experts in manipulating the western media. It all started with the Vietnam war, and has been used ever since. How did the psycho ops team work their methods?

They did it, by presenting the media with stories that the media just could not resist. As the poor little girl that ran away from a napalm attack. This picture won the war for the Vietnamese.

There was a certain point in history, when we went from being savages and turning into civilized citizens.

One of the most determining factors of this progress was the advent of writing, but politics, law, democracy, science, metaphysics. All these items of civilization items actually was invented at a certain time in specific places.

One of the great turning points was when the central temple societies ruled by clericacy lost its sway over the minions of Mesopotamia, and everything just fell apart.

At this point of history all just seemed like a whirlwind sucking up everything and just leaving behind destruction. The specific problem was state controlled farming. State controlled farming simply ruined all the arable land, due to salinization.

Some historian ask themselves, how could the destruction be so widely successive, and not just happen in small areas?

Because when the people loose faith in a political system, it implodes. This may be the answer to the riddle why the great Meso American civilizations that gave us the incredible pyramid structures just imploded. They lost faith.

Concerning the abduction of the Israeli serviceman, one thing is the implication of the leverage the palestinians get, another thing is the push the Israeli side get from the action in terms of pro Israeli sentiment, a third thing is the strategical considerations.

First I think it is, as everything the Palestinians do, avoid of all ethics. It is disgusting. Secondly, they just gave us a deprive from the set backs we recently got from the ground invasion. Thirdly, we should not change tactics. Tech is still our best card.

We will win if we continue the assault, precisely, with tech and at the same time keep resources from flowing into Gaza.

They basically just handed us the victory, if we play our cards with skill.

Continue the demolition of the tunnels, and ferret them out of their hideaway with drones and Shin Bet.

In a few weeks they will probably get so desperate they hand us the victory with some stupid mistake.

G-d bless Israel.
