International diplomacy is a game. When we remember that war is a tool of politics, and diplomacy is the language of politics we get a better understanding of how peace comes through chaos.
In 1981 Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear rector at Osirak ending its nuclear ambitions. In 2007 Israel bombed Syria’s nuclear reactor at Al Kibar ending its nuclear ambitions. In 2010 Israel and the United States destroyed the Iranian centrifuges at Natanz with a computer virus crippling its nuclear ambitions. No protests. Why?
Until the money is taken out of “Palestinianism”—the business where people protest for a Free Palestine but never want one because the money is too good protesting for it—we will never have Mideast peace. – © 2024 Adam Parker.
I am noticing a danger on X, a definite shift in the algorithm towards batching posts recent and past to form misleading narratives.

Terror Update December 28 2023—Some Things to Know: Yesterday an Australian husband and his visa-approved wife were killed in an Israeli air raid targeting the Islamic terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

While the West pauses tomorrow November 11 2023 in remembrance of the day 105 years ago that the guns fell silent in World War 1, the Islamist terror group Hamas has ordered its followers to march.

Yesterday the Israel-Hamas War took a turn whose nuance was missed by the global media and it represents the most serious geo-dynamic shift we’ve seen in world politics since the end of the Cold War.
Sunday October 22 2023—I know that many people around the world who value freedom and peace are scared tonight by the rise in anti-Semitism and of blatant militant Islam sweeping the globe coinciding with the Hamas attack on Israel just two Saturdays ago.

Ten years ago, when I wrote a perspective on the fortieth anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, I noted that between Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran roughly 60,000 missiles lay hidden waiting to be launched at Israel. I also observed the military threat that Iran posed to Israel conventionally and by weapons of mass destruction. This week marked the fiftieth anniversary of that war.
