No-Win Policy: Why the ‘Victory’ You Were Promised is a Strategic Lie
To the Jewish community and the steadfast friends of Israel, the current reality often feels like a tragic series of military setbacks or unavoidable complexities. We are told by our leaders that "total victory" is just over the next ridge in Gaza, that the northern border will be "secured" through…
Three to Five Years, Forever: Thirty Years of the Iranian Nuclear ‘Deadline’ and the Strategic Utility of Perpetual Imminence
For more than three decades, Iran has been portrayed as an imminent and existential threat, perpetually on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon. This narrative of impending crisis was firmly established as early as 1992, when Binyamin Netanyahu, then a member of the Israeli Knesset, warned that Iran was…
What Should They Have Done? Power Versus Principle in Wartime Dilemmas
The history of the State of Israel is frequently presented as an endless series of "impossible choices." From the early days of the Yishuv to the current security crisis, the prevailing narrative suggests that a "nature of reality" dictated a selection between the fit and the unfit, the prominent and…
The Designated Actor: How the ‘Leave it to Bibi’ Script Became Reality
If one accepts the standard narrative, October 7th was a tragedy of incompetence—a colossal, simultaneous failure of intelligence, technology, and political oversight that caught the "Mr. Security" of Israeli politics napping. But in the world of forensic intelligence analysis, there is no such thing as a coincidence that advances a…
‘Leave it to Bibi’: A Special Investigation into the Brookings War Plan and the ‘Managed’ Destinies of Israel and Iran
The Script We Were Never Meant to Read In the cynical world of Washington policy, documents are weapons and influence is the currency. Reports from elite think tanks are not academic exercises; they are blueprints, "menus" of options presented to policymakers who will, in turn, shape global events. It is…
Twenty Minutes to Midnight in Judea and Samaria
When I wrote the "Yesha Defense Initiative" (עברית כאן) over two decades ago, I began not with a statistic, but with a scenario. It is 2:45 a.m. on a Tuesday in Israel. The streets of Judea and Samaria—our biblical heartland, Yesha—are quiet. But in the IDF war rooms, there is…
None Dare Call It Deliberate
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s career is defined by a central paradox. He is the ultimate "Mr. Security," a leader of hardline rhetoric and vows of "total victory." Yet, his political history is a trail of stunning concessions, from the Hebron Accords to the current, grinding war in Gaza. This contradiction…
Was Binyamin Netanyahu Born ‘Pregnant’?
In his 1978 memoir, In Search of Enemies, former CIA station chief John Stockwell offered a sickening insight into the agency's operational doctrine. He described a plan to compromise Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, who had publicly supported an embargo against shipping arms to Angola. The CIA's plan, Stockwell wrote, was…
Acquiescence Again: Netanyahu, the ‘Revitalized’ PA, and the Betrayal of Judea and Samaria
In the theater of Israeli politics, the script is agonizingly familiar. While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offers tedious declarations of "total victory," American officials, speaking to Ynet, detail a completely different plan. The U.S. is actively "pressing" Netanyahu on his "day after" plan, a plan Washington has already drafted: a…
