Bibi (2022 10-17):
"I support the people of Iran who are standing up to real terror"

It looks like Bibi will be Israel's PM again. And he expressed a specific Strategy for an Israeli Victory. He points out that the Palestinians are only 0.01% of the Arab population. And that we need to make peace with this cohort first. So now Israel is a peace already with the 2 + 4 - the 4 are the ones that Trump won over.

Israel, a Parliamentary Democracy, has 120 seats, and Bibi, it seems, is one seat short of the 61 he needs to re-gain his premiership. When he does he may wait for the results of our (USA) elections (Republican Congress) and begin his quest for peace.

As Bibi says, the Settlements are not the problem - the Palestinians want Peace without Israel; the do not want Israel to be a Jewish state; the want a state with a Palestinian majority.

The issue of Jewish Settlements in the West Banks is really Palestinian Apartheid and "Racism against Jews" (as these words are used by the majority speakers, mostly on the left. Palestinians are the true "Colonialists" in the land of the Jews. And to understand better this dynamic one needs to know the history of Italy and France in the 19th century. In particular, consider the words "Irredentism" and "Revanchism." The latter relates to Italy demanding a Redemption of the Italian states absorbed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, while "Revanchism" was the demand for the return of Alsace-Loraine ("black spot") from the German Empire formed about 1871 (which humiliated France).

Perhaps now, the EU & NATO, experiencing the Irredentism and Revanchism of Putin's Russian World in Ukraine, and the rise of Civilizational Parties opposed to the wave of primarily Arab Muslim immigration, a greater sympathy from Europe for Jewish Israel will emerge. What's wrong with Jewish Irredentism and Revanchism? Ironically, so far the Arabs have been more sympathetic to Jews and Israelis that the liberals and progressive of Europe and the United States; it's all about demographic cohorts, yes. Will the Women's Revolution rid Iran of its Muslim Theocracy? If and when it does, will Iran return to being Persia as it was under its Shah and re-establish the good, peaceful, relations it had 43 years ago? There is a chance it will, even before Russia learns to live at peace with a sovereign Ukraine. For example, the France is land of the (German) Franks; the United Kingdom is the land of the Anglo-Saxons (Germans). But Hitler did not succeed in absorbing these countries into the German (Third) Reich. At some point, languages split up, and new, but related, states emerge. History shows us that to be a fact.

There are Culture-Zone vacancies all around Israel to absorb educated Palestinians who do not with to live with Jews as neighbors in a Greater Israel: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, etc. And Jews, especially in Ukraine and Russia are again forced to abandon their homes and flee to live in safety in Israel. Those who fail to understand and sympathize with the needs of these Jews are primarily and simply Antisemites.
