Interview conducted by Niram Ferretti. Italian original at ” Intervista: ‘La politica di Israele dovrebbe essere la vittoria’. ” L’Informale : The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to a new phenomenon: widespread riots by Israel’s Arab citizens. Do you agree with Israeli historian Benny Morris’ 2004 assessment that Israeli Arabs are a “time bomb”?
Daniel Pipes : Very much so. I have written on Israeli Arabs since 1986 and argued since 2006 that they represent Israel’s ” final enemy ” and an ” existential danger .” After foreign states and external Palestinians are neutralized, the Arab citizens of Israel remain as the enemy that cannot be defeated but must be integrated, a far more difficult task.
L’Informale : Has the current fighting permitted Hamas to reach its long-time goal of replacing Fatah as the main organization for Palestinians to eliminate Israel?
DP : I doubt it. Fatah and its related organizations (the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority) enjoy a legitimacy with Israelis and internationally that Hamas lacks, giving it access to money and other support unavailable to Hamas. Hamas can obstruct Fatah but cannot replace it. Hamas (as represented here by Ismail Haniya on the left) is stronger than the Palestinian Authority (represented by Mahmoud Abbas) but cannot replace it. L’Informale : It appears that the current battle with Hamas, like past ones, will end with a ceasefire. Is this inevitable or is there another possible exit?
DP : This being Israel’s fourth major confrontation with Hamas (prior ones were in 2008-09, 2012, and 2014), many Israelis are determined not to repeat the “mowing the lawn” scenario of 1. a ceasefire, 2. Hamas preparing for a next round, and 3. renewed fighting.
The major alternative is a ground invasion enabling Israeli forces to retake and rule Gaza. This, however, poses the same intractable problems as in 2003, when Ariel Sharon decided on withdrawing unilaterally from the territory: Gazans will inflict pain that Israelis want to avoid.
Other schemes also bring major problems from Israel’s point of view: repeated incursions would lead to massive international and even domestic […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
