Does the Israeli establishment cry ‘Wolf!’ too often?

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy EILAT, Israel — There is a serious mismatch between the enormous strength of Israel, and the situation painted by the Israeli establishment and the media. The establishment and media are always fretting and anxious about real or imagined threats to the people of Israel. For many years it has been the threat [...]

Commentary: What Germany couldn’t do militarily, it now does economically

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON –I find myself in a euphoric state of mind, and am proud to be British perhaps for the first time since Margaret Thatcher’s premiership.  So that’s 21 years  to wait, but at long last we have a Prime Minister willing to stand up for Britain’s best interests.  David Cameron, the British [...]

Commentary: Germany successful in third effort to take over Europe

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON– Europe is being convulsed by  the most remarkable and unwelcome events. The elected legitimate Prime Ministers of both Greece and Italy have been forced to resign.  They have been forced out effectively by diktat from the Germans, with France hanging on to the German coat tails in an attempt to retain some [...]

Western critics of Israeli democracy should look to their own houses

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON –Much heat has been generated  in some circles in the Jewish Diaspora in recent weeks, by the Israeli Knesset passing  laws to fight back against attempts to undermine the State.  For example, Israeli citizens who allegedly incite boycotts of their own country’s products , or who work hand in glove with [...]

Internet rumors about Kate’s Jewish roots are discounted

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON–There are erroneous reports circulating on the Internet, that Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, has Jewish roots. There is no evidence of this in any British news reports, nor in Jewish publications in Britain, that I am aware of. It is perhaps true that some of Kate’s predecessors had the surnames ”Myers” [...]

Lloyd Levy

      By Lloyd Levy        LONDON–We are witnessing  the most remarkable events across the Arab World, but  the direction of travel, and the end game, are impossible to foretell.   The situation does have many similarities with the Eevolutions that swept the Jewish World in the late 1880’s and early 1900’s.  [...]

Bin Laden was symptom of clash of civilizations

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON–The death of Osama Bin Laden had  been long in the coming, and many people celebrate that he has reaped what he has sown. Nevertheless I do believe that his portrayal in the “West” has been deliberately misleading.   Blaming something called Al-Qaida, for the world’s terrorism is a deception, a politically [...]

Wedding unified British people, strengthened the monarchy

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy   LONDON–Billions of  people around the World watched television on Friday, to witness the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton.  It was a magical occasion, which even transfixed an old cynic as myself.   I cannot however comment on any Jewish perspective, because there wasn’t one.  British Jewry was officially [...]

Israel’s military capability expands as Western Europe’s declines

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON — With all the incessant media coverage about  Israel , one easily loses sight of the broader picture. Yet I have been reading a respected annual publication called “the Military Balance.”  Not necessarily everyone’s chosen reading  material, but it throws a fascinating insight into the miracle that is today’s Israel. By [...]

Mideast future: Back to the past

Lloyd Levy

By Lloyd Levy LONDON — Events are moving rapidly in the Middle East.  Nobody knows what turn of events  are around the corner, nor in what direction the region is heading.  I am one of those people who believe that “Western” style democracy  is not possible in devoutly Muslim countries, but limited democracy may be [...]
