The alleged goal of Palestinian 'self-determination' is founded on an intended crime – that is, total “removal” of the Jewish state by attrition and annihilation.

A Palestinian state would impact the continuously changing balance of power between Israel and Iran and its proxies.

Israel will need to reassess its operational options, deciding between the current nuclear posture and shifting to “selective nuclear disclosure.”

'The political existence of the state,' indicates the Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1934), 'is independent of recognition by the other states.'

The crimes perpetrated against Ukraine are even worse than the objective facts suggest, leaving observers with just a superficial understanding of cumulative harms.

Above all, Israel should do whatever is needed to upgrade and enhance its nuclear deterrence posture.

Israel's war in Gaza is necessary to national survival, and its associated military actions impact Palestinian civilians because of Palestinian perfidy.

The many-sided threat of Palestinian statehood is part of a much larger and more portentous enemy threat.

Foreseeable intersections between “egocentric ideals” and nuclear arsenals could spark humankind’s “final pandemic.”

To deal successfully with jihadist enemies that seek “power over death,” Israel’s only prudential strategy should be based on a deeper understanding of the enemy's anti-reason.
