What chance for regime change?(JPost Jun30) Several articles and much speculation has occurred since the Iranian regime was completely humiliated by Israel and the US; most centered around the possibility of regime change in Iran.

Hill-top youth
(These notes are in response to someone who asked for my comments on an article he forwarded to me defending the ‘hill-top youth’) There has been much recent controversy on this subject. It is difficult to be sure of the facts. What I do know is that there are Jews who feel very strongly thatContinue reading “Hill-top youth”
Replacing the Iranian terrorist regime
It is a given that as long as the current extremist Islamic regime remains in power in Iran there will be no peace in the Middle East and Israel will remain in danger; the Ayatollahs will not and cannot change. The regime is loathed by the vast majority of the Iranian people, but will notContinue reading “Replacing the Iranian terrorist regime”
The Guardian
Fawaz Gerges in an article in the Observer starts by talking about ‘international Law’ as though it is in any way meaningful. It is neither international nor law. If it were international it should have been applied to actions like the murder, rape and abduction of Israelis on Oct 7 by Hamas an Iranian proxy,Continue reading “The Guardian”

Regime Change in Iran (Guardian 19Jun)
The article by Martin Kettle claims that regime change in Iran is almost impossible. In line with the Guardian’s obsessive disparagement of Israel, he seems to think that Israel must continue to suffer under threats from the Ayatollahs, even though that regime has been virtually obliterated by Israel. An outcome which, no doubt, Kettle wouldContinue reading “Regime Change in Iran (Guardian 19Jun)”
French court rejects Israeli appeal..(JPost 18Jun)
Apparently the French have hidden the Israel display at the Paris Air show behind a black wall, thus hiding Israeli state of the art weapons from public view. This reminds me of my baby daughter (who is now a grandma!) who once hid under the table, saying “don’t see, don’t see!” because she was doingContinue reading “French court rejects Israeli appeal..(JPost 18Jun)”
Israel’s friends have had enough
Mick Davis claims that the current Israeli Government is alienating its friends around the world. A friend is one who supports you in need; however immediately after Oct 7, before the blood dried on the ground, before Israel reacted militarily to the Gazan atrocity, the crowds in London, in Paris, in New York, in theContinue reading “Israel’s friends have had enough”
PM: No ‘supply line’
There is no evidence of a ‘quid pro quo’ for the valuable gifts that our PM received; hence there is no proof of bribery. However it’s unseemly for any politician, especially a Prime Minister, to accept valuable gifts. In fact it should be illegal for any politician or ranking civil servant to receive any giftsContinue reading “PM: No ‘supply line’”
Breaking the grip of Israel’s oligopoly
The opening sentence of this article tells it all. ”The worst problems are those that are self-inflicted”. Nearly all are the result of Israel’s hangover from its socialist origins; exacerbated by its unworkable Breaking the grip of Israel’s oligopoly political system. Government has two major functions; it must protect itself from external foes, and mustContinue reading “Breaking the grip of Israel’s oligopoly”
