If you look up the definition of “enemy in disguise,” you won’t find it in the lexicon of Western diplomats – but you will find it in reality, with a burgundy flag and a curved sword in the middle. It’s called Qatar.
It’s not that they are heroes despite what they were taught. They are heroes because of what they were taught — love of country, tradition, responsibility, honor. Values that are considered social shame today in the West, here they are the entry ticket to life itself.
The Druze don’t need us to cheer them on Memorial Day or when a Druze officer falls in battle.
They need – like every citizen – to be treated with respect even when it’s unpleasant, even when there are no cameras, and even when there is a planning and building committee.
If you think that tourist trips to the tombs of the righteous began in the 1980s with rabbis caressing friends and handing out dollar bills, you’re probably right. But long before that, in 1867, a slightly different type arrived in Jerusalem, armed with a wide-brimmed hat, a sharp pencil, and capable of describing the high school in a way that would make even a guide from the “Antiquities Department” sweat.
His name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but everyone knows him as… Mark Twain.
Before our eyes, a strange, disturbing and sometimes pathetic alliance is being forged between the radical left in the West and fundamentalist Islamist movements. They call it the red-green alliance – red like the blood from the communist revolution, green like the flags of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. And this is not science fiction, this is the reality in which universities, the media and, rather disturbingly, quite a few European politicians live.
The continent that once stood up to empires, crossed oceans and brought Western culture — stands up to nothing today. Not even itself. It chose to give up: identity, borders, national pride, intellectual freedom.
Israel is the opposite of Europe: a young, lively, stressed, cynical, armed, and quite self-confident people. And even if we sometimes think we are crazy — at least we are not committing suicide in the name of tolerance.
When you hear the word “occupation,” everyone imagines a machine gun, checkpoints, fences, and an army on every corner.
But it turns out that this occupation? It’s less “occupation” and more “VIP customer service” – with an invoice to the Home Front Command.
In a world where terrorists hide in caves, stir up dust, and run websites from broken keyboards, there is also Qatar.
A sleazy emirate in the Persian Gulf with grand ambitions – to become the nerve center of global political Islam. Or to be precise: the octopus head of global jihad.
A Jewish and democratic state – or a state of the High Court and the Land?
It is impossible to preserve a democracy in which judges judge the people – instead of the people electing their leaders. It is impossible to continue in a reality in which every national initiative, every conservative reform, every law with a Jewish character – is immediately passed through a sieve of consultants, lawyers, and in the end – 15 people who feel like a grand jury of a country in which they do not even have a flag.
There are relationships that after a certain time stop being romantic and become a bit… suffocating.
You’re no longer sure if you’re in a relationship – or in foster care . . . and that’s more or less the situation between Israel and the United States.
