Mount Sodom, where it really happened. Will a comparable miracle save Israel today?

Israel: threats then and now

Why did God arrange the liberation of the Children of Israel from Egypt in the seemingly impossible manner described in the book of Exodus? Why did...

The faces of collectivism, communism, and to a lesser degree, socialism. Note Mao - because cultural upheaval is made in China. The clock is ticking. Will a descendant of these three win? The Equality Act furthers this goal.

The Humanitarian Hoax of Collectivism: Killing America With Kindness – hoax 21

Consider two sneak attacks on America, and two very different answers. The difference between them traces to another humanitarian hoax: collectivism.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel--and a man without a theory. (Has he forgotten his earlier protest against empty reciprocity with the PA?) A secular man cannot understand the real Jewish theory--the Torah. Is he being a little too (Vichy) French for his country's safety? Maybe not. He took a stand against illegal immigration recently.

The homotheism of same sex marriage

Same sex marriage, from a political perspective, is the outgrowth of egalitarianism. Egalitarianism transforms the democratic principle of equality into an ideology to which all other...

The Constitution, which sets forth the principle of rule of law, defines what is unconstitutional, and guarantees freedom of speech and other liberties of a Constitutional republic, and also describes the impeachment power. (How many know of the Jewish roots of this document?) Hypocrisy threatens Constitutional government. Could Israel use a constitution like this? More to the point: would a Convention of States save it, or destroy it? (Example: civil asset forfeiture violates the Constitution.) Quick fixes like Regulation Freedom Amendments weaken it. Furthermore: the Constitution provides for removing, and punishing, a judge who commits treason in his rulings. Furthermore, opponents who engage in lawfare against an elected President risk breaking the Constitution.

The sanity of silence: what Netanyahu knows but dares not say

Benjamin Netanyahu knows a Palestinian state in Israel means a state led by Muslims. However, for him to say the disciples of Islam have slaughtered 250...

A modified F-15 squadron of the Israel Air Force. Israel once seemed to know how to deal with enemies. Still, one cannot pursue security at the expense of the virtues that can truly bring it. Sadly, fear of losing democratic respectability, stops Israel from relying on her greatest strength. Her strength will come from a Tzadik level of statecraft.

Israel: war aims (update)

Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, written about 500 B.C.E., is the oldest military treatise in the world. After twenty-five centuries, the principles of that treatise...

God of Israel, god of war. (And a need for context.) A memorial to the last time Israel was ever on any real offensive: the Six-day War Memorial. (A Jewish Jedi warrior would be quite at home at such a time.) Calling something a Nakba doesn't make it tragic.
