My thoughts on politics.
A recent report by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) looks at the purpose of the JCPOA as it was originally, and as it is today. The report tells us that only around one-fifth of the original Iran deal dealt with nuclear issues, with the rest detailing payments to Iran for “nuclear concessions.” This …
The NY Times last week reported that an anonymous US official said Israel was behind the Red Sea operation against the Saviz, the Iranian IRGC Navy reconnaissance vessel and floating military base. According to the report, the attack was tit for tat for recent Iranian attack on an Israeli cargo ship. The NY Times report even …
Iranian dissidents are protesting President Joe Biden’s top nominee for undersecretary of defense, Colin Kahl. The dissidents say that Kahl has close ties to Iran lobbyists that act as a go-between to arrange meetings between political bigwigs and Iranian officials. Kahl has spoken at a number of events for the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). …
Israel sent an official message from the Prime Minister’s office last Thursday night, warning the United States against ending the sanctions on Iran and rejoining the 2015 JCPOA. “Israel remains committed to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons and its position on the nuclear agreement has not changed,” said the official statement, adding that “Israel …
President Joe Biden hasn’t called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though the new president has been in office now for over three weeks. Biden has spoken to a flurry of world leaders, including Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Chinese president Xi Jinping. But no call to Bibi, which makes Biden the first president in 40 …

US Special Representative to Iran Brian Hook, told Israel’s i24 News, that if Biden attempts to restart Obama’s appeasement tack with Iran, Israel can kiss any more Middle East peace deals goodbye. “If the Biden administration pursue a policy of accommodating Iran and alienating our partners in the region, there will be no more peace …
Perhaps by the time you read this, we’ll know how things will play out. Some, including the right-wing media, think they know: Biden is certified by the state electors, and is sworn in as president as January. But at least one Facebookian still holds out hope that Trump can still overturn the election results. From …
While many continue to hope that President Trump will expose massive election fraud and be declared the winner of the 2020 election, most are trying to come to terms with a bad situation: an apparent win for Joe Biden. None of Trump’s supporters believe Joe won fair and square, but proving malfeasance is something else. …
Now that Fox News has apparently turned, Trump supporters are finding it difficult to find unbiased, professional news reportage on the issues they care about, for instance the Hunter Biden scandal and election/voter fraud. Some have turned to Newsmax or OANN, but both these sources offer very little hard information, and they feel second-rate in …
