Where can I place a bet on the way this war ends?
It might be the Third World War. Or not. It might lead to a new Great Depression. Or not. Iran might be destroyed in four weeks. Or maybe Israel will…
Even the algorithm wants peace!
As I was wandering on YouTube, “the algorithm” brought this video to my attention: Rick Steves’ Iran (2009). From the description: Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and…
În care Dragoș Pătraru face pe istoricul
În decembrie, vă băgasem un episod de istorie povestit de Mircea Badea. Mă rog, varianta lui. De data asta, Dragoș Pătraru avu niscai opinii referitoare la războiul din Iran. Din…
Today, I cannot take sides
Donald Trump's administration began “major combat operations” against Iran, allegedly to disable “imminent threats” to the United States. Bibi Netanyahu's regime doubled down with “preemptive strikes” against Iran, also citing…
Understanding Israel, Trump, and the “negotiations with Iran”
The 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), defines and designates as nuclear-weapon states those that have built and tested a nuclear explosive device…
Thoughts about BRICS+, China, and Europe—and the US
I'm by no means an analyst of any kind, but I happen to have had a few thoughts, and I decided to put them down. They're not phrased that well,…
Bibi + Donald + Iran = 💣
I initially wanted to update my previous short post, Israel is the land of love, either at its end, or through comments, but I decided to behave more traditionally and…
Israel is the land of love
Two terrorist countries, Iran and Israel, are playing the “your mother is a whore” game (مادر جنده). Iran doesn't recognize Israel's right to existence, and Israel doesn't recognize Iran's right…
The Three Shitheads (and us)
We, Europeans, are cocksuckers. We sucked Putin’s dick (and we still do, as the EU still imports some gas from Russia). We suck Netanyahu’s dick, because criticizing Israel is seen…
King Trump 2.0’s first batch of Executive Orders: a mixed bag
Once you get over the introductory video of the second coming of Messiah (this one), the White House's website (which is a WordPress site) gives you access to the Executive…
Yes, you can be both anti-Putin and anti-Israel!
Cocksuckers are 100% pro-Israel, no matter what Netanyahu does. Because if you care, you are pro-Hamas. But one can be anti-Putin and anti-Bibi at the same time. That's now the…
Trump vs. Dems vs. Israel: not taking sides, just quoting
You know what he said: I’m not saying they’re eating cats and dogs, I’m just repeating what was reported. I also might have a bridge to sell, if you’re interested.…
Disturbing reads on disturbing facts (I): Israel
Every morning, I read a bunch of news reports, helped by a couple of news aggregators as Android apps. Global and local news, that is. The quality of the news…
Norm Finkelstein, the reasonable Jew
Reasonable, as in “the voice of reason”; because very few of the prominent Jewish voices are honest enough intellectually as to criticize the actions of the state of Israel in…
Yanis and the “Zionism Über Alles” Germany
Yes, I know it's not kosher to compare Israel to Nazi Germany. But I also know that Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing since 1948 (Nakba), and of apartheid at…
This is how I fell out of love with Yanis Varoufakis
Yanis Varoufakis, together with DiEM25 and MERA25 activists, recently took part in an anti-war rally in Munich, Germany. This speech is likely to have taken place on February 17, 2024:…
I decided to ignore the upcoming Apocalypse—life is too short as it is
This is not the first time I promise myself to stop writing about politics and whatever I believe to be completely wrong in the society. This time, I hope, I'll…
Israel’s Defense at the International Court of Justice is Disgusting
South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice is, without any doubt, not a sincere one. South Africa has its own domestic issues, and it's siding with…
The Human Shield mantra about Gaza
If you look at my posts tagged Israel, you'll notice how my stance has gradually changed in these 6 weeks of war in Gaza. To explain it, I'll quote a…
Some more thoughts about Palestine
Analysts, journalists, TV hosts, almost everyone mainstream in Europe has now decided that whoever objects to Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Gaza must be an adept of one or more of…
