Samson Blinded: Assimilation is death
The assimilation of American Jews is irreversible, and there is no point in expending great resources to counter it. Even if the intermarriage rate were to be brought down miraculously to 30% from the current figure of 70-95% among atheists, in three gene...

Samson Blinded: Separate them out
“May Your enemies swiftly be cut down. May You uproot, crush, cast down and humble the kingdom of arrogance swiftly in our days.” – Amidah prayer Inherently insecure, Israelis look for protection and partners. They embraced the monster ...

Samson Blinded: Fashionable outcasts
In important aspects, Israeli Arabs are similar to American blacks. For decades, the establishment kept the blacks prominent with its human rights agenda. Political advertising is advertising like any other, and the blacks became popular, fashionable. The...

Samson Blinded: House of lies
Nation states have abandoned all pretense of representing their publics, or even any ideology. Lenin violated a fundamental Marxian precept that a society should pass through a stage of developed capitalism before jumping into socialism. Later he abandone...

Samson Blinded: Israeli religious future
Orthodox and Haredi Jews make up a growing proportion of Israeli Jewish society. With the birth rate among them two and four times, respectively, the national average, their share of the population is poised to triple within a single generation. The relat...

Samson Blinded: Jews, overregulated
Just like any other system of formal regulation, rabbinical Judaism has a fundamental leaning toward prohibitions. In a secular analogy, it is impossible to prove that someone did not kill someone else, but only possible to prove that at the time he was p...

Samson Blinded: Palestine should be allowed militancy
Netanyahu’s demand for a demilitarized Palestinian state spells trouble for Israel. The demand paints Israel as an unreasonable bully: surely, no state can be demilitarized. Germany and Japan accepted great limits on their armaments in return for Americ...

Samson Blinded: Government: from rags to riches
It is absurd to speak about petty corruption by officials when institutionalized corruption persists on a mammoth scale. The government bribes the opposition with portfolios. The ruling party bribes influential local figures with sinecures. Minorities are...

Samson Blinded: How honest is Quartet?
Why does Israel need a mediator, either to deal with the Quartet or in negotiations with terrorist organizations? Because her leaders are cowardly. Often a mediator is employed because parties are willing to accept an offer coming from a neutral person rb...

Samson Blinded: Israel’s real founding myths
Am I the only one sick of being lied to constantly, of living in a forest of myths? Moshe Dayan, a legendary warrior, was a simple defense minister in 1967, which is largely an administrative role. Far from saving Israel, he stopped the Arabs fleeing fro...

Samson Blinded: Golan Heights and Umm al Fahm
Israeli negotiations with Syria pose an interesting legal question: can a state legitimately cede a part of its territory? Minor border adjustments are common worldwide, but the question of the Golan Heights is different with respect to size and unilater...

Samson Blinded: A state is Jewish, so what?
For Israel to demand that the Palestinians recognize our state as Jewish is counterproductive. It supposedly erects a major hurdle before the PLO, which it staunchly refuses to overcome. Recognizing Israel as a Jewish state is actually insignificant to Pa...

Samson Blinded: Schizophrenia
Good Jews suffer from split identity: they are good, but also Jews. Despite striving for proper Jewish objectives they retain camaraderie with their supposedly fellow Jews, who viciously sabotage those objectives, whether of their own volition or on the o...

Samson Blinded: Peaceful eviction

Samson Blinded: Israel’s Goldstone report: not so good
Israel’s legal system is extremely tilted against the army. Direct oversight of military prosecution by the pro-Oslo Supreme Court ensures indictment for the slightest transgressions. After the Supreme Court orders the Military Attorney General to i...
