My opinion was formed from living in Israel, witnessing the horror of terror, reading the misinformation and downright lies perpetrated by the Western media, seen the incompetence of Israeli leaders to project the facts. My website comes from a particularly personal perspective. The articles may be controversial and provocative. For whatever strikes Israel today will surely visit you tomorrow.

Lies Palestinians Tell at Christmas

Lies Palestinians Tell at Christmas

When Israel relinquished control of Bethlehem to Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority as part of the Oslo Accord agreement in 1995, 85% of this prosperous town were middle class Christians. Business and life was good when it was part of Israel.

By Christmas 2019, Christians are less than 10% of the population in an economically stricken town.

How did this come about?

Pompeo’s Declaration May Have Launched a New Reality in the Middle East

Pompeo, Middle East, IsraelUS Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced on November 18, that he was reversing a longstanding and offensive State Department legal opinion that Israelis living in Judea & Samaria were there illegally. A brief historical review of US policy on the legality of what are called “settlements” has, according to Pompeo, “been inconsistent over decades.” In 1978, the Carter administration decided that the establishment of Jewish civilian homes was inconsistent with international law but, three years later, President Reagan reversed that stance.

Ahead of the Trump peace plan, some hard truths.

Ahead of the Trump peace plan, some hard truthsTo any dispassionate observer of the Middle East, it is crystal clear that a so-called “Two-State Solution” between a once-complaint, democratic, Israel and the violent, rejectionist, two-headed Palestinian hydra is impossible. Those who say there is no other sensible solution to this intractable problem between Arab and Jew have not been paying attention, or have rejected, numerous sensible alternatives that have been offered by various Israeli sources.

Does anyone tell the truth anymore?

Does anyone tell the truth anymore?As an outsider, I have been witnessing the weaponizing of the intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the United States to try and fraudulently win an election, and then attempt to stage a political coup against a duly elected president. Begun under the Obama Administration, we have seen the CIA (under John Brennan), the National Security apparatus (under James Clapper), the FBI (under James Comey), the Department of Justice (under Loretta Lynch), bring a fraudulent dossier to the secret government FISA court, for permission to engage in espionage against, conduct illegal unmaskings of American citizens, spy on anyone connected with their political rival, and set the top level personnel in the FBI and DOJ on a prolonged campaign to indict a sitting president on the fake charge of Russian Collusion, a charge, it transpires, that they themselves were guilt of.

The Israeli Election and Liberman’s Conditions

The Israeli Election and Liberman’s ConditionsThe Israeli elections on September 18, 2019 proved one thing. Not only is Israel the only democracy in the Middle East, it is also a global democracy on steroids. The elections results showed the benefits--but mainly the faults of a multi-party electoral system. The race started with 31 hopeful parties. At the end of the voting process Israel was left with nine political parties winning seats in the 22nd Knesset.

Has Ilhan Omar imported the ideology of a Somali dictator into America?

Has Ilhan Omar imported the ideology of a Somali dictator into America?Studying the political ideology of Ilhan Omar I am struck by how similar they are to that of the brutal dictator, Siad Barre, who governed Somalia with an iron fist when she was young girl in that country. When Barre seized power in a coup d’etat in 1969, following the assassination of the president, Ali Shermarke, he built a new political order, a one-party regime built on a mix of Communism and a local form of political Islam.

Terrorists target Israeli civilians. Israel targets terrorists

Terrorists target Israeli civilians. Israel targets terroristsAccuracy is essential when reporting claims of Palestinian casualties during Palestinian-induced wars. But accuracy is always the missing ingredient in the mainstream media when covering Palestinian wars against Israel. Instead they offer bland reporting damaging to Israel such recent reporting of 20 Palestinian killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza including women and babies, which leaves the readers with a totally wrong impression.

Anti-Semitism, and the "Different Experience" in the use of words

Anti-Semitism, and the Different Experience, in the use of wordsNancy Pelosi tried to offset the storm of criticism against new Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar's succession of anti-Semitic remarks by claiming "I don't think Ilhan Omar is Anti-Semitic. She has a different experience in her use of words, and she doesn't understand that some of them are fraught with meaning she doesn't realize."

Democrats and CNN Collude to Rig Elections

Democrats and CNN Collude to Rig ElectionsAs an outside observer it has been distressing to see the extent to which the American mainstream media has colluded with the Democratic Party in a two year campaign to impeach a duly elected president on patently false charges of colluding with the Russians to win the 2016 Presidential Campaign.

UNWRA is a racist obscenity

UNWRA is a racist obscenity Through UNWRA, the Palestinians have received 25 times more aid per capita than did the whole of Europe to rebuild their shattered countries after World War Two. And yet, many decades later, Palestinians still use the victimhood card of poverty and statelessness, even though massive funding flows through the hands of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.

Walls Save Lives. Israel Has Proof A huge political row is going on in America over a security wall between the United States and Mexico.
