Trump‘s Peace Plan
So I’ve just spent the last hour listening to Norman Finkelstein talk about Trump‘s peace plan and what it means for the people of Gaza. Essentially what he is stating is that this is no peace plan at all based upon prior experiences with peace plans in the past. I have to agree. The Israeli …

Sea Change
We must change our attitude toward Iran. We must see Iran as a friend instead of an enemy. We must also encourage our friend Israel to do likewise. There is no natural enmity between Jews and Muslims. It simply doesn’t exist. Jews and Muslims have long coexisted in peace. As Abraham Lincoln, the spiritual father…

The Kemp Doctrine
I have a novel idea of how we can achieve peace in Israel. I call it the Kemp doctrine. It is named after Jack Kemp, who believed in peace through strength, and, of course, the 600 ship Navy (never the 625 ship Navy). The idea behind this is that if we build up our military,…

Premeditated Destruction
There are many critics of Israel’s policy regarding Gaza. Frequently they praise the supposed sneak attack that Hamas undertook on October 7 against various Israeli kibbutzim. I’m not sure why these critics go down this pathway. Maybe they look at this attack by Hamas as an indication of Israel’s weakness. Or maybe they view this…

Shame at Columbia
Well, those young people at Columbia University and the other schools sure are giving it to the establishment, aren’t they? They are giving these preening fat cats a lecture on American democracy. They are telling them in no uncertain terms, if the establishment would only listen, what this country is about. Our leaders, the people…

The Right to Exist
From time to time, we will hear the media talk about Israel’s right to exist. This will often be mentioned within the context of a supposed Jew-hater saying that Israel has no right to exist. What does it mean to have a right to exist? Does any nation have the right to exist? I would…

True Protest
The other day Congressman, Rick Allen, lectured the president of Columbia University, Minouche Shafik. He asked her whether she knew a particular verse in the scriptures: Genesis 12:3. “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you…” The verse relates to God giving Israel to the Jews. He then asks the…

Welcome to the War
Welcome to the dog and pony show known as the upcoming Middle East war. It will be a totally unnecessary war. It only exist to make the wealthy Harvard and Ivy League educated elite – who own and run our corporations – wealthier. As I have stated, previously, all corporations benefit off war, because when…

Bibi’s Big Joke
This is what Benjamin Netanyahu said just the other day. It was printed in the Wall Street Journal. “Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Palestinian society must be deradicalized. These are the three prerequisites for peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors in Gaza.” Who is Netanyahu kidding? We could say the…

Turning Off the Light Switch
How should Israel resolve the Palestinian problem? By giving Palestinians a stake in the game. Israelis, have to make the counterintuitive move by giving Palestinians full rights within Israeli society. A one state solution is the solution. Muslims and Jews do not represent an existential threat to each other. Meir Kahane is wrong. The hardline…
