Cold War II or WW III?

A new axis of evil has arisen that is actively threatening Western civilization. It is ominous, imminent, active, serious, and deadly. This enemy of Western Civilization is comprised of Russia (and its proxy, the Wagner Group), China, Iran (and...

Why did I write a book about Revolutions?

While Jews have dealt with antisemitism for centuries, if not millennia, the accusations have varied. Jews are rich, poor, capitalists, communists, and even Christ-killers. Therefore, Jews needed to be stopped, converted, exiled, or maybe just killed (pogroms). The latter...

Time for Hatikvah to Recognize the Israeli Soul.

Israel is Unique Among Nations. Here is Another Reason Why.

The definition of “unique,” is markedly different from “unusual,” “rare,” or even “uncommon.” Unique means: ‘one of a kind.’ There is no other. Something unique stands, and falls, alone. A quick internet search shows that practically no other country (except...

Did Pharaoh Know the Way to Palestine?

The not-so-subtle use of the words “Syria” and “Palestine” is misleading and historically incorrect. She seems to be implying that “Palestine,” and therefore, “Palestinians” date back to at least this ancient period. As an Egyptologist and expert in cultural...
