Samson Blinded: Hate is normal
“Do I not hate, O Lord, those who hate you?” Psalm 139:21 Gush Katif was lost because the defendants appealed to common sense and pity. There are no such feelings on a mass level. Masses are only capable of zealous action: it takes a lot of zeal to gl...

Samson Blinded: Righteousness, not justice
Israel's references to justice are absurd. There is no justice in international relations, but only the balance of power. What justice is there in refusing nuclear weapons to Iran? It is a sovereign state as much entitled to nukes as Britain. If anything,...

Samson Blinded: Palestinian state won’t be forever
Several Palestinian officials recently voiced support for proclaiming statehood unilaterally. In such scenario, the UN would draw Palestinian borders. Since Muslims enjoy automatic majority in the UN’s General Assembly, Palestinians presumably can get a...

Samson Blinded: New world order of rogue nukes
The most significant changes slip by imperceptibly. In our case, the dissolution of the world order started in backwater places few people can pinpoint on the map: Pakistan and North Korea. Ancient Romans similarly wondered about the Barbarians who eventu...

Samson Blinded: There is an alternative
[This a reply to an article by the UK Ambassador to Israel.]I would venture an answer to your rhetorical question, "What is the alternative if Israel is to remain a democratic state with a significant Jewish majority?"1. Judea and Samaria are core Jewish ...

Samson Blinded: Conversion for Jews
The debate over summary conversion in Israel is misplaced. The real question is not, how to make a bad Jew out of good Gentile, but how to make Jews…Jews. The common argument that Israeli Slavs became Jewish by serving in IDF is mistaken. They would hav...

Samson Blinded: The crumbling Palestinian society
Societal development requires a certain minimal density of population so that people can rub against one another, practice "an eye for an eye," and learn coexistence in the face of assured retaliation. Palestinian population in the hill area was too spars...

Samson Blinded: Don’t miss Rabin
During the First World War, Russian, German, and British monarchs exchanged friendly correspondence, addressing one another as "Dear Cousin." Similar attitudes persist among government bureaucracies. At its Bethlehem conference in 2009, Fatah proclaimed t...

Samson Blinded: Who cares what they say?
Some atheists, appalled at our religiosity, ask what is the difference between Jewish and Muslim religious zealots, especially given that both subscribe to a similar code of law and are ready to practice deadly violence. But what is the difference between...

Samson Blinded: Obama against America
Something about Obama reminded me of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact: his ear-to-ear grin and friendly hug when meeting Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Just as their countries headed toward an all-out war, the Soviet and German foreign ministers smiled to ea...

Samson Blinded: Anti-Semites are not anarchists
Classical anarchists wouldn’t have recognized the leftist hooligans who commit outrage in the West Bank as their own. Anarchy is, above all, about responsibility. Those who refuse government-imposed order have to impose order on themselves. Absence of l...

Samson Blinded: The evil Jew: Yigal Amir or Yitzhak Rabin?
People who act on their political beliefs though they face life in prison, deserve utmost respect; Yigal Amir no less than Nelson Mandela. Rabin fled a battlefield near Jerusalem during the War of Independence, abandoning his soldiers to death, and he gun...

Samson Blinded: Not every business is Jewish
I’m not a racist; I’m an isolationist. As such, I’m sensitive to other people’s desire to be left alone. Jews not only insist on living in other nations’ lands, accepting and even subsidizing Arabs in our own land; we also spearhead liberal move...

Samson Blinded: Iran or Armageddon?
In the past decades, history has continually repeated the same story with Jews, as if to teach us a lesson. First, we had a carbon copy of Exodus: the Promised Land lay open and European Jews refused to leave for it. Just as 4/5 refused to leave Egypt and...

Samson Blinded: A military solution for subjective troubles
"Let the high praises of God be in their throat and a two-edged sword in their hand—to execute vengeance upon the nations." Psalm 58 The Western desire for rational textbook explanations plays a trick on diplomats when they deal with the third world. Th...
