Dr. Michael Wise argues that Israel should end the military occupation of the West Bank by gradually granting permanent residency to select Arab populations, effectively annexing the territory. He posits that this gradual approach, similar to the Puerto Rico model, would be less controversial than a full declaration of sovereignty and create a more stable situation for both Israelis and Palestinians. Wise believes this strategy would ultimately lead to a peaceful and secure Israel, countering the demographic fears and political pressures that have historically hampered annexation.
This source is a commentary arguing that the ongoing conflict in Gaza is a result of Hamas's exploitation of Gazan residents, who are trapped in an "open-air prison." The author calls for the relocation of Gazan Arabs to other countries, asserting that this would prevent future conflict and undermine Hamas's power. The author criticizes international actors, including the United States, the United Nations, and the European Union, for maintaining the status quo and hindering Gazans from escaping their situation.
This opinion piece argues that Israel must finally win a war against Hamas, claiming that previous ceasefires and armistices have only emboldened the enemy. The author contends that Israel's victory in this conflict will bring about a "new Middle East," as it would deter Iran and its allies from further aggression and potentially lead to regime change in Iran. Dr. Wise emphasizes the urgency of a decisive victory, arguing that any concessions to Hamas will only lead to future violence.
This article argues that the world is driven by an irrational hatred of Israel and its success. It contends that this hatred manifests in various ways, including attempts to undermine Israel's efforts to protect itself from terrorism, demonizing Israel in the media, and advocating for the creation of a Palestinian state, which the author believes would be catastrophic for Israel's security. The author suggests that the world's animosity towards Israel stems from a deep-seated antisemitism that has persisted for centuries, and that the current obsession with "Palestinian rights" is merely a new tactic to delegitimize and ultimately destroy the Jewish state.
This op-ed argues that Israel should allow Gazans to relocate to other countries, primarily due to the oppressive rule of Hamas. The author contends that a significant portion of the Gazan population is desperate to leave and that their desire for relocation is a result of factors such as high unemployment, poverty, and the lack of a future under Hamas. The author proposes that Israel should facilitate this relocation and that other countries, particularly those in the Middle East, should accept Gazan refugees. The op-ed also claims that the world has ignored the plight of Jewish refugees from Arab countries and that these countries now have a moral obligation to provide refuge to Gazans.
The article discusses the concept of a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, arguing that this approach has repeatedly failed due to a persistent lack of Palestinian willingness to live peacefully alongside Israel as a Jewish state. The author, Dr. Michael Wise, criticizes the "conceptzia" – a preconceived notion that ignores warning signs – that has led to a series of Israeli miscalculations, including the withdrawal from Gaza, which emboldened Hamas and led to further violence. The article concludes by advocating for Israel to reject the two-state solution, assert its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and offer citizenship and equal rights to all residents, regardless of religion, thereby ending decades of conflict.
This position paper, written by Dr. Michael Wise, proposes that Israel declare sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza, granting Palestinian Arabs full civil and religious rights comparable to those enjoyed by Israeli Arabs. Wise argues that the two-state solution has failed and that creating a Palestinian state would only increase terrorism and instability. He believes that integrating Palestinian Arabs into Israeli society, while denying them voting rights in national elections, would ultimately lead to lasting peace and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians. Wise further suggests that such a move would attract more Arab countries to the Abraham Accords, promoting regional stability and economic growth.
This opinion piece argues that Israel should abandon the two-state solution and declare sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria. Wise contends that the two-state solution is a "delusion" that has led to ongoing terrorism and that a Palestinian state would be a "terrorist state" in Israel's backyard. He believes that by declaring sovereignty, Israel will undermine the terrorist agenda, provide a path to peace, and create a more secure future for its citizens.
The article argues that Israel has never been allowed to fully win a war due to external pressure from the international community and specifically, the United States. The author, Dr. Michael Wise, criticizes past ceasefires and argues that Israel needs to achieve total victory against Hamas and eradicate the group from power. He also criticizes the United States' perceived pro-Palestinian stance and emphasizes the importance of Israel's strategic alliance with Sunni Arab states in the face of Shiite Iran.
This article argues that the international community's calls for a ceasefire in Gaza are hypocritical and unfair. It criticizes the United Nations for demanding a ceasefire in Gaza while ignoring or downplaying conflicts and violence in other parts of the world. The author emphasizes the ongoing violence in various countries, including Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, and Myanmar, and argues that Israel should be treated no differently than any other nation facing a threat to its existence. The article concludes that Israel has no choice but to defend itself against Hamas and that the world should not dictate how Israel should preserve its own security.
This editorial advocates for the unconditional surrender of Hamas as the only way to resolve the current conflict in Gaza. The author argues that Hamas's use of civilians as human shields is a war crime and that Israel has a moral obligation to dismantle the terrorist organization. The author emphasizes that Israel's response to Hamas's attacks will be forceful and decisive and that a surrender now would save the lives of many Gazans. The editorial suggests that a successful surrender would potentially allow Gaza to become a prosperous and peaceful region.
This opinion piece argues that the number of Arabs living in Gaza is significantly lower than what is often reported in the media and by Palestinian authorities. The author, Michael Wise, claims that Palestinian demographic data is unreliable and that the actual population is closer to 1.7 million. He challenges the claims of experts who relied on Palestinian data, highlighting their lack of independent research. Wise asserts that the number of Gazans has likely decreased due to emigration and suggests that knowing the accurate population is important for Israeli policy decisions and international understanding.
This op-ed argues that Israel should declare sovereignty over Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and establish a model similar to the U.S. territories, where Arab residents would be granted full civil and religious rights but would not have voting rights in the Knesset. The author contends that a two-state solution is no longer feasible and that granting full voting rights to Arabs would be risky given the ongoing conflict with Palestinian groups that seek Israel’s destruction. The op-ed proposes that Arab residents become "HOLDERS" with blue Israeli ID cards and elect representatives who would participate in the Knesset but not have voting rights, drawing a comparison to the six U.S. territories represented in Congress. The piece concludes by arguing that Israel’s sovereignty declaration would create a more secure and prosperous future for the region.
This article argues against the creation of a Palestinian state and advocates for Israel's annexation of the West Bank, known as Judea and Samaria in the text. The author claims that a Palestinian state would be used as a base for terrorism and ultimately lead to the destruction of Israel. He suggests that Israel's continued military occupation of the West Bank is harmful to both Israelis and Palestinians and that declaring sovereignty over the area would be the best way to end the conflict.
This op-ed argues that the region commonly known as the "West Bank" should be referred to as "Judea," with the northern section specifically called "Northern Judea." The author contends that the term "Samaria" is misleading and historically inaccurate, as the historical region of Samaria was much larger and encompassed areas now within Israel. The op-ed critiques the use of terms like "occupied territories" and "disputed territories," asserting that Judea has historically been part of Israel. The author provides a detailed historical analysis to support this claim, emphasizing the historical Jewish presence in the area and the lack of a legitimate claim by any other group. The piece advocates for the use of the name "Judea" in official discourse, arguing that doing so will help to correct historical inaccuracies and advance the understanding of the region's rightful ownership.
Dr. Michael Wise, a Jewish Palestinian refugee, argues that UNRWA, a UN agency providing aid to Palestinian refugees, has perpetuated the refugee status of Palestinians for political gain. He claims that UNRWA has been used to incite hatred of Israel and that its funds have been misappropriated. In contrast, Wise details the historical plight of Jewish refugees, highlighting the lack of international aid and the absorption of Jewish refugees into Israel. He asserts that the narrative surrounding Palestinian refugees distorts the history of the region, emphasizing the long-standing Jewish presence in Palestine and the Arab immigration to the region. Wise concludes by calling for the dismantling of UNRWA and the acceptance of Palestinian refugees by their Arab brethren as a step toward Middle East peace.
Dr. Michael L. Wise, a Jewish man with a family history deeply rooted in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem, argues that the claims of Israeli "Judaization" in Sheikh Jarrah are false. He presents historical evidence demonstrating the Jewish presence in the area, dating back to the 19th century, and details how Jewish families were forced out during the 1948 war and subsequent Jordanian occupation. Wise uses his personal family history as a counter-narrative to the accusations of Israeli land theft and argues that the legal battles over land ownership are rooted in the rightful return of property to Jewish families who were originally dispossessed.
The provided sources from Israel National News focus on the issue of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party, specifically within the context of the "intersectionality" movement. The first source argues that the intersectionality movement, which advocates for the rights of marginalized groups, has been hijacked by anti-Israel and anti-Semitic forces who are using it to promote their own agendas. This source cites examples of Democratic politicians who have expressed anti-Israel views and defends Israel as a progressive society that respects universal human rights. The second source provides a personal narrative about the history of Jewish presence in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem, challenging the claim that Israel is "Judaizing" the neighborhood. The author traces his family’s history back generations, demonstrating that Jewish presence in Sheikh Jarrah dates back centuries. Both articles present a counter-narrative to prevailing narratives about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and argue that the history and experiences of Jewish people in Israel are being unjustly ignored.
The provided text from Arutz Sheva argues that certain individuals who identify as Jewish are not "real" Jews because they criticize Israel and its policies. The author labels these individuals "FAKE" JEWS and accuses them of actively seeking to harm Israel and the Jewish people. The author also cites numerous examples of Jewish individuals and organizations that the author deems "FAKE" JEWS, including academics, political activists, and religious leaders. The author suggests these individuals are part of a wider movement to undermine Israel's legitimacy and ultimately cause its demise.
The article from Algemeiner.com argues that the two-state solution is not the answer to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Instead, the author, Michael L. Wise, contends that declaring Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria could be the “deal of the century” that leads to peace, as it would encourage Palestinian Arabs to become part of a thriving Israeli society. Wise claims that demographic predictions that support the two-state solution are inaccurate and that the success of Jewish minorities throughout history shows that Israel will not lose its Jewish character due to a large Arab population. He argues that the Palestinian leadership has fostered hostility by telling their people that an Arab state will be created in Israel's backyard, and that this narrative must be abandoned for peace to prevail.
The article argues that Israel should not grant immediate full citizenship to all West Bank Palestinians because doing so would risk undermining its security, considering the ongoing conflicts with Hamas and other militant groups. The author claims that while Israel should aim for regional peace and eventual citizenship for all Palestinians, it cannot do so while facing violence and calls for its destruction. The article further challenges the notion that Israel would become an apartheid state by granting limited rights to West Bank Palestinians in the interim, arguing that the world should not dictate Israel's internal affairs and that Israel has a diverse population with genuine freedoms.
The author argues that the “religion of peace” has been hijacked by extremist groups and that this has led to widespread violence and instability in the Muslim world. Wise contends that a reformation of Islam is needed to bring genuine peace to the region and to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He suggests that global communications and social networks can be used to accelerate this reformation.
The article argues against the characterization of Israel as an apartheid state. The author asserts that Israel’s Declaration of Independence guarantees equal civil and religious rights to all citizens, regardless of religion, and points to the diverse population of Israel, including Arab citizens and Ethiopian Jews, as evidence. He also contrasts the freedoms enjoyed by non-Jews in Israel with the treatment of Jews, Christians, and Hindus in many Muslim-majority countries. Wise contends that the security measures implemented by Israel in the West Bank are not intended to oppress Palestinians but to protect the state from terrorism. He criticizes the Palestinian Authority for its own discriminatory policies towards Jews and argues that the term "apartheid" more accurately applies to their actions.
This article claims that the idea that Israel is facing an imminent demographic threat from growing Arab populations is based on flawed demographic data. The author argues that certain prominent Israeli demographers have relied on inaccurate Palestinian Authority statistics and promoted the idea of a demographic catastrophe. They assert that Jewish fertility rates are actually very high and that Arab birth rates have declined significantly, challenging the notion of a future Arab majority. The article concludes that, based on accurate data, Israel does not face a serious demographic threat and can confidently move forward without being constrained by this false narrative.
The article argues that a two-state solution with Palestinian Authority control over the West Bank poses a significant demographic threat to Israel. The author contends that a Palestinian state would attract millions of Palestinian refugees, resulting in a substantial Arab population increase in the region. This demographic shift could lead to increased pressure on Israel, including demands for equal rights and territory concessions, ultimately endangering Israel's existence as a Jewish state. The author suggests that the demographic shift could even lead to the exodus of Israeli Jews and weaken Israel's political and economic standing.
