The U.S. Should Announce It Favors a Palestinian State in Gaza
Last updated on: November 10, 2023 at 1:12 pm By Kermit Zarley
I believe the U.S. should now announce that it favors the creation of a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip after this Israel-Hamas War there is finished. But it would only be the beginning of a Palestinian state that later would receive added territory. On Wednesday, both U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Council and White House spokesman John Kirby made very significant statements about the future of the Gaza Strip that represent a significant and...

Blinken Announcement May Lead to a Gaza Palestinian State
Last updated on: November 8, 2023 at 11:32 pm By Kermit Zarley
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is in Tokyo this week meeting with the Group of Seven, which are the largest financial-industrial nations in the world. Besides financial matters, they probably are discussing ongoing conflicts in the world as well. Due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, Blinken made some statements today which I think could become very profound regarding the future of the Gaza Strip in that they may lead to the development...

Implement Israel’s Proclamation of Independence–Now
Last updated on: November 7, 2023 at 6:00 am By Kermit Zarley
I’ve been saying this for perhaps forty years now. The modern State of Israel exists on the sole foundation of its two-page Proclamation of Independence since it does not have a constitution like the U.S. does. This document declares that Jews have a “right” to “the Land of Israel,” “Eretz Yisrael,” which it defines as “their ancestral land.” But it was obvious that this document, which immediately ignited Israel’s War of Independence (1948-1949), could not achieve that result due to...

Can Israel Win this War Against Hamas?
Last updated on: November 3, 2023 at 12:01 pm By Kermit Zarley
It doesn’t look like it to me. The main reason may be international public opinion. Hamas started this war by invading Israel and killing 1,400 Jews–mostly civilians and some soldiers. Then they captured about 230 hostages and took them back to Gaza. These hostages supposedly are being kept in the massive, underground, tunnel network that Hamas has created, mostly in northern Gaza. These combined tunnels are about 300 miles in length. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel... Read more

Is My Prediction about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Happening?
Last updated on: October 31, 2023 at 1:32 pm By Kermit Zarley
The current Israel-Gaza War is threatening to spread in the region. Israel is pummeling Gaza City with bombs, resulting in many thousands of civilians reportedly being killed, including thousands of children. Israel is determined to uproot the governing Hamas, which the U.S. and other nations designate as “a terrorist organization,” so that it can never govern the Gaza Strip anymore. Hamas started this war on October 7th when, in about 24 hours, its armed invaders entered Israel, killed about 1,400... Read more

Christian Zionism Is Hurting the USA
Last updated on: October 26, 2023 at 9:19 am By Kermit Zarley
Yesterday, the Republican-dominated US House of Representatives elected its party member Mike Johnson, a 51-year old lawyer from Louisiana, as its Speaker of the House. Johnson is a strong evangelical Christian. He and his wife, who have four children together, have a podcast in which they broadcast their religious and political views. It includes Christian Zionism. So, Johnson has made it clear that US financial and military aid to Israel is a top priority for him. My book, Palestine Is... Read more

Lanier Library Lectures with John Lennox in Houston, Texas

My friend David Capes of Houston, Texas, has been trying to get me to attend a lecture series at The Lanier Theological Library, where he is the director. I finally did. Thanks, David. It is located quite close to Champions Golf Club, where I have played many a round of golf, including many times in the PGA Tour’s Houston Open and once in the U.S. Open.

U.S. Looks Bad Regarding Israel-Hamas War
Last updated on: October 25, 2023 at 12:47 am By Kermit Zarley
The US and other nations rightly identify the Palestinian political party Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, as a “terrorist organization.” And its recent attack against Israel, which resulted in reportedly 1,400 Jews dead, was most deplorable. Israel has been bombing Gaza ever since and preparing for a ground war to root out and kill the Hamas leadership so that it can never govern the Gaza Strip again. Soon after this Israel-Hamas War got started, US President Joe Biden issued... Read more

The U.S. Should Have Tied Its Foreign Aid to Israel to the Peace Process
Last updated on: October 20, 2023 at 6:13 am By Kermit Zarley
I believe the U.S. has been making a big mistake for many years by not connecting its huge foreign aid package of $3 billion per year (for decades and now more) to Israel with a requirement that Israel stay committed to the peace process regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There have been many Israeli leaders who were against Israel being involved in such a peace process because they were against any future creation of a Palestinian state. Talk about selfish. That...

Unbalanced American Statements about the Israel-Gaza War
Last updated on: October 18, 2023 at 11:41 am By Kermit Zarley
U.S. President Biden went to Israel and met yesterday with its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amidst this Israel-Gaza War that erupted on October 7th when Palestinian militants from Hamas that governs the Palestinian Gaza Strip broke through the boundary fence barrier that separates Gaza from Israel and killed an estimated 1,300 Jews within about 24 hours and took about 200 Jewish hostages back to Gaza. It was the largest number of Jews that have been killed in one day since... Read more
