Israel 2022: The New Security Environment

At the international global level, the greater impact on Israel?s security has been the change of Administration in the US. It is not only a replacement of the Republican administration by a Democrat one, but a whole recalibration of policies after the 4 years term of President Trump.

Working Paper 58

Exposing the Lie of Israel Apartheid

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18094/israel-apartheid The lie of "Israeli apartheid" was dreamt up in Moscow during the Cold War and driven home by a relentless Soviet propaganda campaign until it took hold in the UN and across the Middle East and the West. This included the repeated comparison of Israel with South Africa in the Soviet media and in books such as "Zionism and Apartheid", an official state publication of Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union.

The International Criminal Court Threatens Middle East Peace

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17051/international-criminal-court-threatens-peace The ICC's design against Israel is the latest in a long history of endeavours to subjugate and scourge unwilling Jewish people deemed incapable of regulating themselves.

Educational Ethnic Cleansing
