Gabe Ende - Israel It's the "Conceptzia", Idiot!
Gabe Ende – Israel It’s the “Conceptzia”, Idiot! Every political figure in Israel since the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973 has severely warned of the consequences of “conseptziyot” –adherence to entrenched conceptions—in our political and military strategy. More than half a century and several wars later, however, this universally discredited phenomenon exhibits miraculous staying…
Gabe Ende - It's All Greek to Me
Gabe Ende – It’s All Greek to Me I was recently in the Greek island of Kos, where my attention was captured by a solitary monument that appeared from ten feet or so like an identical facsimile of a well-known sculpture in Yad Vashem. Upon approaching and reading the accompanying explanation, I realized that it was indeed a holocaust memorial—but of one preceding the Shoah by approximately twenty…
Gabe Ende: We Dare Not Lose Our Vision
Gabe Ende: We Dare Not Lose Our Vision The insufferable excesses of Israeli television have brought me closer to Netflix– more precisely, to the historical dramas offered by the network. They are a wonderful diversion from the commercial, “reality” and blah-blah-blah-heavy shows which have become our staple. The two most recent films under my belt are “New York Gangs”, dealing with the…
Gabe Ende: Israel-What has Happened to Us?
Gabe Ende: Israel-What has Happened to Us? Who could have imagined that cries of “genocide” would be stridently directed at the Jewish state only “four score years” after the Holocaust? That not a few young Jews would be among the accusers? And that our people over here would be so slow in providing insight into what was and is currently happening in the Israeli soul beyond the usual polemics?…
Gabe Ende: Intensified Fighting in Gaza may Boomerang on Us
Rockets are fired toward Israel from the Gaza Strip, Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. (AP Photo/Fatima Shbair) Gabe Ende: Intensified Fighting in Gaza may Boomerang on Us According to the government, the IDF is on the verge of a “maneuver” in Gaza which will lead us to “total victory”, including the dismantling of Hamas. Smotrich and his friends are elated, sensing an opportunity for settlement, annexation…
Gabe Ende: Bibi's Speech to the Nation
Gabe Ende: Bibi’s Speech to the Nation Like many others, I was not moved by the “dramatic announcement” that the Prime Minister made in the “Broadcast to the Nation” on Saturday. The man’s media advisors simply shouted “wolf” excessively… But that’s not the point. In his words, the Prime Minister gave a fairly convincing defense of his decision to order the IDF to fight Hamas “until victory.”…
Gabe Ende: Israel - Slogans Aside: Optimal Goals are the Answer
wodstar.com Gabe Ende: Israel – Slogans Aside: Optimal Goals are the Answer Ever since Binyamin Netanyahu began to address the goals of Operation Iron Swords, he spoke—often in opposition to the military leadership — of the need for no less than “total victory”. His supporters argue his position as such: “We dare not relinquish this historic opportunity to destroy the Hamas and Hezbollah and…
Gabe Ende: Settler Colonialism and all that Shit…
Gabe Ende: Settler Colonialism and all that Shit… Living in Israel has placed me at a distance from the polemic concerning “settler colonialism” and I am still trying to comprehend its difference from the classical variety held in utter disrepute when I was an activist on liberal campuses in the Sixties. It appears that there are two salient features in the “settler” category: it seeks to replace…
