(The Abraham Accords were the greatest foreign policy accomplishment of U.S. President Donald Trump’s first administration; he has made it clear that his new administration will seek expanding them- Forbes, March 8, 2025.) “I wish to underscore our support for President Trump’s vision and efforts to promote peace . . . including in our region. We also share common values. . .
Iran — State Disintegration, Not Regime Change - Dr. Rich Swier
Israel cannot rely on regime change to ensure its security. It must aim at dismantling Iran into separate ethnic entities to ensure that, in the future, it will not become the grave menace that it was in the past. Despite the uneasy and artificial “peace” agreement, imposed recently (and arguably prematurely) by Donald Trump, the debate still rages, and speculation still swirls around the Iran-Israel conflict—particularly over the irksome question as to how it will play out in the long run.
Israel on the cusp of civil war?
The only way to prevent a civil war in Israel is to acknowledge its impending outbreak, so that steps can be taken to forestall it. Israel is on the brink of civil war. An irreconcilable rift is beginning to open up between rival segments of Israeli society, which no amount of unilateral goodwill can amicably bridge. The tectonic fault lines, threatening to split the nation’s societal fabric asunder, center on Benjamin Netanyahu’s tenacious hold on power, despite multiple attempts to pry it loose.
Azerbaijan: Augmenting the Abraham Accords
Two recent media reports underscored the emerging international stature of the Caucasian republic of Azerbaijan and its ties to Israel. The first related to the growing involvement of Azerbaijan’s State Oil Company (SOCAR) in Israel’s energy sector, entailing SOCAR's first drilling operations outside of Azerbaijan. The second related to a visit by senior Trump envoy Steve Witkoff in Azerbaijan. This took place after endorsement by both PM Netanyahu and a group of prominent rabbis.
Putin Attacks Ukraine, China Approaching Taiwan, While The West Continues Its Retreat
We are living in a momentous time in world history. No one doubts that. The real question is how do we properly understand the changing world order so we can better equip ourselves for the future. Let me start by saying that those of us who remember the fall of the Soviet Union and its aftermath that was Russia under Boris Yeltsin, have been blind sided by resurgence of what seems like the West’s most useful foe.
Letting The Negativity Go
Watch the first class on the Exchanged Children We all want to be set free – to move on from our quagmire of doubt. But how do we leave our exile when the negativity of our past keeps haunting us holding us back? The key is to let go of the faults and hangups from our past and move forward to real self awareness.

Why The Captivity of Three Jewish Filmmakers In Nigeria Maybe Connected To The Redemption
A few years ago I attended a high level meeting of pro Igbo Jewish activists, Rabbinic leaders, and political connectors in Jerusalem to discuss how real the Igbo claim of Israelite heritage and if so what was there to do about it. No real press was allowed at the meeting and in many ways, although we reached some fascinating conclusions and a desire to help – nothing came of it. There are approximately 30 million Igbo in southeastern Nigeria.
If We Want To Leave Mitzrayim - We Must Have Faith
There are times when we feel low and other times when we know that the exit from the darkness is just around the corner.
Can Israel Stop "Palestinian" Thieves From Stealing Its Land?
According to the website of the Jordan based NGO APNature masks itself as a environmental social justice organization,“concerned with the protection of the environment and the natural resources of Arab countries against all hazards, including the destructive impacts of wars and foreign occupations.” APNature has taken upon itself to take over Area C, the area allotted to Israel according to the Oslo Accords and where very little Arabs presently live.
TRUMP'S FINAL GIFT? Israel's Massive Strike On Syria's Iraqi Border Came With US Help
With days to go until the Biden administration officially takes over at the White House, Israel launched another air attack on Iranian forces in Syria. While an attack on Syria by the IAF has become standard in the remaining days of the Trump administration, this time the IAF struck closer to the Iraqi border in Eastern Syria. The attack targeted at least 15 installations housing Iranian weapons and acted as the main transit hub for the IRCG into Western Syria.
Pelosi's Coup Attempt Is About Protecting China and Iran
As we all know now according to a NY Timesreport, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attempted to get General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut President Trump out of the chain of command, which is effectively a coup. The NY Times report says as follows: “In a phone call to the chairman, Gen. Mark A. Milley, Ms. Pelosi appeared to be seeking to have the Pentagon leadership essentially remove Mr. Trump from his authorities as the commander in chief.
Biden Should Quash Abbas's Newest Offensive
(Republished with author’s permission from the Algemeiner news website) In December both Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Vladimir Putin each called for the Quartet on the Middle East to be the sponsor of future negotiations. But why? The Quartet was established in Madrid in 2002 and is comprised of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia.
We Must Descend Into Darkness Before The Light Can Be Revealed
When our souls descend into this world we find ourselves in a state of “klipot, layers.” These layers are the cognitive distortions we are meant to spend a life time breaking through. Growth always starts within darkness, confusion, and illusion. We move up and we fall, move up and fall. In chassidut and deeper lessons connected to the Torah this process is analogous to leaving “Mitzrayim, Egypt,” the place of constricted G-D consciousness.
Qatar-Saudi Deal A Pushback Against Iran-Chinese Dominance
The recently concluded Qatar-Saudi deal to end the blockade on Qatar has once again changed the equation and calibration of peace in the Middle East. There are those naysayers who believe the deal was concluded in time for a potential Biden administration, but that is improbable. Remember the embargo on Qatar was led by Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States precisely because of Qatar’s connections to Iran and its funding of the Muslim Brotherhood.
A NATION IN PROTEST: Breaking The Illusion and The Need For A New Israeli Ethos
More than 15 years ago I was dragged out of the Neve Dekalim Synagogue by four soldiers and then bussed out of Gush Katif. In those moments I wondered why and where the protest movement to stop one of the largest injustices brought upon Israeli citizens by their own government had gone wrong. The fact is, up until that point and including the Oslo protests headed by Moshe Feiglin, all of the nationalist protests had a sectoral feel to them.
Yemen, Iran, and The Coming Attack On Israel
The new alliance between Israel and the UAE as well as Bahrain has upended the Middle East in many ways. From technology and innovation partnerships to military drills and intelligence sharing, the Abraham Accords has made the countries involved the most powerful the region has seen. None of this has been lost on the Iranians, who understand that despite Biden’s desire to jump back into the nuclear deal, there will be little he can do about the growing strength of the Sunni-Israel alliance.
China Will Be Determining US Middle East Policy Under Biden
With the establishment of the Abraham Accords, President Trump has made the impossible happen in the Middle East. The accords brought a series of peace and normalization agreements between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, and even Sudan; along with increased interaction and dialogue with Saudi Arabia. The question arises, given the potential for an incoming Biden administration – will they continue to support the Abraham Accords?
Germany Approves €1 Billion Deal to Lease Israeli Drones
Despite small protests outside Germany’s Bundestag, the German parliament approved a €1 billion deal for leasing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). These UAVs are capable of carrying payloads of weapons. For Germany, this is important and carrying out attack missions in the German army’s theaters of operation in Mali and Afghanistan.
After North Korea Comes Iran
Prime Minister Netanyahu said the following after President Trump’s historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “I commend US President Donald Trump on the historic summit in Singapore. This is an important step in the effort to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons. President Trump has also taken a strong stand against Iran’s efforts to arm itself with nuclear weapons and against its aggression in the Middle East. This is already affecting the Iranian economy.
Israel and Latin America: Continuing Its Growing Partnership
Prime Minister Netanyahu met with a delegation of chairpersons of foreign affairs committees of Latin American parliaments and noted he is due to fly to Guatemala this November for a regional meeting. This meeting continues the growing partnerships Israel has in Latin America. Evidence of this was on full display as Guatemala and Paraguay both moved their embassies to Jerusalem after the USA became the first country to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Will Latin America Be Israel’s New Africa?
Israel Approves 30 Million Shekels for Digital Health Innovation Pilots
Two months after the Israeli government approved a one-billion-shekel national digital health program as a means of improving public health and as an engine of growth for the economy, the Digital Israel Initiative at the Israeli Ministry for Social Equality, the Israeli Health Ministry, and the Israel Innovation Authority have announced the launch of a new pilot program to be carried out in healthcare organizations across Israel.
