Would you ever imagine that the leading American newspaper would openly advocate siding with Islamist forces in the Middle East against all of America's allies and friends, and I mean with eyes wide open and with full awareness that it sought to overthrow them? Well, the day has come. How has the argument for this strategy, which the Obama Administration, is already pursuing, being made? A New York Times July 30th editorial entitled “Egypt’s Dangerous Slide” shows a real … [Read more...]

At last we have an explanation for what has been going on with Israel-Palestinian talks. It is credible yet ridiculous. And it is very important. Here is today’s New York Times. “In recent weeks, Mr. Kerry and his aides have outlined several basic arguments for why his efforts might bear fruit. Perhaps the most important one, which Mr. Kerry advanced almost the moment he was picked for the State Department post, is that the United States does not have the luxury of staying on the … [Read more...]

By July 23, 2020
Kerry shuttle diplomacy? Ha. Let's talk about what is really going on in the Middle East: Chattanooga, Tennessee, November 25, 2020 At the assault on Lookout Mountain, the Union advance faltered against the Confederate lines high atop Missionary Ridge. Suddenly Union soldiers spontaneously advanced without orders led by six flag-bearers, one of them Arthur MacArthur, father of Douglas MacArthur. A Union officer remembered: “Each battalion assumed a triangular shape, the colors at … [Read more...]
How the Syrian Civil War and Egyptian Coup Positively Transform Israel’s Strategic Situation
By July 11, 2020
There are some subtle issues coming out of the Syrian civil war for Israel. It is clear that Israel is neutral on the war, that it isn’t going to get dragged into it, and that the longer the war goes on it doesn’t damage Israeli national security. It should be equally clear, however, that in the end Israel wants the rebels to win. Syria’s regime is supported by Hizballah, Iran, and the Assad government. These are the greater of the two evils. The coup against Egypt’s Muslim … [Read more...]
Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan Racist Against Obama; So Why Does Obama Idolize Him
By July 9, 2020
One of the key factors about revolutionary Islamism is that it is an innately ant-American and racist doctrine. Usually this is seen through antisemitism or ant-Christian views (since in the case of Islam, religion now seems to have been reintepreted as a race when convenient) but sometimes there are different, but not highly publicized examples, such as the racism employed against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Palestinian and other Arabic newspaper cartoons. Can you imagine how the … [Read more...]

Egypt: A Teachable Moment
By July 5, 2020
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 4, 2020 Egypt is an amazing story and its meaning for the region is earthshaking. The apparent tidal wave of advance for revolutionary Islamism has been flicked aside by the courage of millions of Egyptians but—let’s remember—it would have been futile if the army had not taken their side. Just as on this spot 150 years ago to the day, another such great battle ended. There are many lessons in this and here is a brief discussion. A cautionary note: … [Read more...]
Obama Administration Middle East Policy: See What I’ve Been Trying to Tell You?
By July 3, 2020
A self-interview First, I want to apologize that I have often used intemperate language to describe U.S. policy and the people making it in the last 4.5 years. Perhaps I have put off some of you who would otherwise have been persuaded that something is very wrong. Therefore, I have tried to do another version of this approach. Remember, I'm not responsible for the way the questions are phrased here. Q: How can the United States become the ally of the Muslim Brotherhood, a one-time Nazi … [Read more...]
