After just 71 years, in Israel this is the latest cutting-edge development in clean energy with the smallest possible environmental footprint. All paid for by Israeli enterprise and developed by Israeli innovation. Meanwhile in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority, which in the same 71 years have received more international aid than the entire post-war Marshall […]

The Swedish Intifada in Israel
This article originally appeared in my blog, The Sweden-Israel Conundrum, at the Jerusalem Post on November 17, 2014. On October 30 Sweden decided to abrogate the agreed-upon Oslo Accords by granting “Palestine” recognition without the Palestinian regime having to fulfill a single one of its many obligations. These legally binding obligations include: Cessation of racist […]
Hamas for Dummies
Truth be told, the title of this piece should instead be “Hamas are Dummies”. Here’s why. All the intel indicates that the three Israeli Jewish schoolboys kidnapped on June 12 were abducted by Hamas. Almost a week later, their whereabouts are still not known. Palestinian Arab society erupted into paroxysms of joy, public celebration and calls for more kidnappings. And […]
The invisible, non-existent threat that nobody will talk about
Sunni Muslim terrorists are battling Shia Muslim terrorists in Lebanon. Sunni Muslim ISIL terrorists are attacking Shia Muslim terrorists in Syria. Sunni Muslim ISIS terrorists are fighting Shia Muslim civilians in Iraq. Sunni Muslim ISIS terrorists are threatening Kurdish Peshmerga forces. Al Shabab Muslim terrorists have just attacked civilian Christian Kenyans. Boko Haram Muslim terrorists […]
Palestine: a study in uncontrolled addiction
This article was first published in “The Times of Israel” on December 2, 2013. Palestinian Arabs want a country of their own. They want to call it Palestine. Many people find this offensive. Which is strange. When the Palestinian Jews declared the independent Jewish state of Israel in 1948, with the backing of the majority […]
The expensive joke that is the UN
The UN is one of the most underrated – and expensive – comedy shows ever. UN member state the Philippines has been devasted by a recent typhoon, with huge loss of life and the eradication of many communities and population centres. UN member state Syria increasingly resembles an apocalyptic graveyard. UN member state Lebanon is […]
The Arab world is aflame – but the US, EU and UN focus on Israel
Here’s a question: Why is it that there are no less than THREE Palestines? Three Palestines whose official policy is ethnic cleansing of Jews from their nascent territory. Firstly there’s Palestine 1/aka Jordan, capital Amman, built on roughly 77 percent of the British Mandate area – the territory earmarked to be returned to the Jewish […]
Obsession is the new sanity
Let’s see now: The mad-dog regime of North Korea detonates an underground nuclear device in direct contravention of global opinion – while extorting food aid from the nations of the world. Yawn from the UN and EU. The brutal regime of Assad has breached the 100,000 mark in the number of Syrian citizens murdered by […]
The Islamist onslaught on Israel has ended – for now
Hostilities between Gaza’s Islamist Hamas regime and the Jewish state ended as they began. With Hamas dictating the pace. Hamas started the conflict by raining missiles on Israeli civilians. And after the ceasefire went into effect, Hamas fired up to 20 missiles at Ashkelon, Sderot, Sha’ar Ha’Negev, Kiryat Malachi and Ashdod. That’s the latest “ceasefire” […]
Egypt's Dilemma
Until a week ago, the question in everyone’s mind bearing in mind Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions was “When will Israel attack Iran?” Well, Iran surprised everyone by instead attacking Israel, using Iranian rockets assembled in Gaza and fired by Hamas. Now the question is what is Israel’s most powerful neighbour, Egypt, likely to do? To […]
