Europe Backs Arabs’ Reconstruction Plan for Gaza

Last updated on: March 8, 2025 at 7:11 pm By Kermit Zarley

Riviera of the Middle East Recent Middle Eastern events are making my proposal for an alternative, two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more plausible. It is that something happened today that likely renders U.S. Donald Trump’s delusional announcement last week another dead-on-arrival solution. The real estate mogul proposed that when the war in the Gaza Strip, between Israel and Hamas, comes to an end, that the U.S. take ownership of Gaza, remove all Palestinians from it, and make it the...

AI Chatbot Grok Says Trump Likely Is a Russian Asset

Monday, I blogged “Is Donald Trump a Russian Asset?” Why? Three former Soviet KGB agents—not associated with each other and living in three different countries outside of Russia, with one living in Washington, DC—have now come forward to allege that the Soviet Union and then Russia have been cultivating Donald Trump as a propaganda tool for them for over forty years. I wrote a book about Trump, and I was always thinking that him being so pro-Putin, pro-Russia and... Read more

Does Vance Affirm Trump’s Illegal Authority Due to a Papacy?

Vice President J. D. Vance is a Catholic who is advocating a very unhealthy fealty to authoritarianism and applying it to President Donald Trump. We’ve been here before. I suspect it is due to the Catholic papacy. Barr’s Shabby Handling of The Mueller Report When Donald Trump served his first term as U.S. president, in 2017-2021, he made lawyer William Barr, a Catholic, his attorney general. At first, Attorney General Barr walked lock-step with President Trump on controversial matters that... Read more

Is Donald Trump a Russian Asset?

For me, last Friday’s meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J. D. Vance with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office of the White House was most disturbing, to say the least. Trump and Vance berated this Ukraine president whose nation has been attacked by Russia that is destroying it for three years. They repeatedly accused Zelenskyy of having a bad attitude in not expressing his thanks to the U.S. for its military support of Ukraine,... Read more

Hockey is the #1 sport in Canada. Former pro hockey player Wayne Gretzky is rightly recognized as the G.O.A.T: Greatest Of All Time. (Former PGA Tour star Dustin Johnson—who has won the U.S. Open and 24 PGA Tour tournaments, is married to Wayne Gretzky’s daughter.) Wayne Gretzky Is Ruining His Reputation But in my opinion, Wayne Gretzky is ruining his reputation because he has become a big fan of U.S. President Donald Trump. Gretzky, because he has not said anything... Read more

Trump’s Seventy Executive Orders the First Week President Donald Trump accomplished his “America First” agenda during his first week in office by signing, thus issuing, some seventy executive orders. And that’s just in one week. During Trump’s previous four years as president, he issued 210 executive orders. These current ones include forcing Columbia to accept returned immigrants. And he has threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, to be imposed on April 1. He even said Canada should... Read more

[This article is post #5 of Dr. Richard Bauckham’s book, “Son of Man:” Volume 1: Early Jewish Literature. Click here to see post #1.] In Bauckham’s book that we are reviewing, “Son 0f Man,” he shows from early Jewish literature that Jews understood the Son of Man in Daniel 7:13-14 as no more than a man. Yet Bauckham is a Trinitarian and therefore has always believed this Son of Man refers to Jesus of Nazareth and that he is not... Read more

Trump Calls Courageous Zelenskyy “a Dictator”

First-time, official talks about the war in Ukraine began yesterday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between the U.S. and Russia, with Ukraine being excluded. The U.S. is involved because it has furnished the most military support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion and attack against its country three years ago. To set the tone, U.S. President Donald Trump, who is not attending the discussions, made disparaging and false remarks about Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. U.S. President Donald...
