There’s only one solution. That is the solution provided for us in the Torah. Are we brave enough to follow it?

I thought Harlem was part of Manhattan.

Don’t hate the left. It is made up of youthful idealists and the cynics who use those youths for their own end. I was leftie till I realized that IT JUST DOESN’T WORK. Human nature is not that simple. Give youth a chance to learn that simple evaluations fail. The rest are corrupt. Expose them.
=
Jewsa must calculate what they want. imho that is a state that Jews can call their own. Safety from holocausts. A refuge to retreat into.
=
Borders from the Nile to the Khyber would be nice, but enforced slavery is not as efficient as wage slavery. The ancient solutions vary with circumstances.
=
Be creative. Jews need a superstate where Jews control religion et al in their portion. Non Jews have the other part, can set up theocracy or whatever they want. Non Jews want Jews to give them work, buy their tax free goods, sell them luxuries. Jews need large population to do the schlepping, buy their goods.
=
So set up a new form of democracy. Dual state of Palestine-Israel. Only Jews can vote for Israeli parliament. Likewise for Palestinian state. Free movement between states, but otherwise benign form of apartheid. Biggest problem is to distinguish who is Jewish. (Having a Jewish Mother sounds like a good policy).
=
So what if ten million Arabs come to Israel. More shekels for the innkeepers, and real estate will bubble. Israel gets too expensive? So Jews just move to Palestine, set up factory, employ cheap labour.
=
Who is so stupid they kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Purpose of a government is to provide what the people want, not dominate the world.

I’m a recent addition to your mailing list. But this has been a topic of interest for a long time. Zechariah, the Prophet–mislabled a “minor” prophet–says that Jerusalem will be divided by “all the nations.” I believe that is what is going to happen. Then the slaughter and the new world of the Messiah. The facts bear out the prophecy, as I see it.

Where’s the daily news section with commentary? That is such a great part of this excellent site!

All countries will have problems transferring the Bible knowledge in the way it is phrased in terms of international law as “God gave us Israel”. What other ethnics are to do in the various other countries, they are not mentioned in the Bible?
Whether one wants it or not this is a basic problem of international law if one wants to address rights into any nation… or land. This is why in Canada, we think the safest way and just way is by order of cultural appearance, biological rooting. All unjust people will fail to erase the various national contributions with this approach since numbers do not matter. Look at the numbers of Natives in Canada and their rights as First Nations.
Most of the dialectical problems in terms of recognition in the Middle East exist because of lack of will to apply a common vision of Rule of Law. I mean the French religious that came to Canada wanted to build a community better than the one thay had left but ,if today, Quebec’s first language is French, the Natives are still the First Nations with proportional rights. Those religious would have failed in their goal if it were not the case. The Bahais are in Israel they can grow a community too. They can root in Israel. Can they say God gave us the land to claim their rights in international law?

Karole: What are you on about? I am trying in vain to understand your post.

The issue is simple. They believe the land is theirs, they fight for it. We should do the same.

Placating the ‘Palestinians’ has worked as well as Vietnamization did for the Americans and in the end, the result will be the same, one will dominate the other. Giving land to those for whom land is not the ultimate goal will only make their goal easier to achieve. On day Israel will be forced to decide whether to exist or not. That decision will become harder and harder as time passes.

Danny, where did the news postings go. It was an excellent feature not found anywhere else. Pesach Sameach

Another excellent article that is spot on.

As a Canadian myself I do wonder what Karole is on about. I do feel the need to point out that the “Natives”/”First Nations actually have special status and rights which are denied all other Canadians. Still due to having been reduced to receiptiants of government (our tax dollars) funding for everything from housing to welfare and health care, they gave up any attempt to succeed on their own. It is the same with many Blacks in the U.S. who live generation after generation on welfare. There are certainly individual exceptions, those who left the reserves and made it on their own. In any case none of this has anything to do with Israel, any more than international law or whatever strikes your fancy.

Albert, I’m a Canadian, and I can’t figure it out either.

Obadiah — Great article, once again.
===
bar — Nice to know other Leftists-in-their-youth have come to see the light. It is painful, but necessary. Excellent comment, except letting in 10 million Arabs — I think I get your point, but it really wouldn’t work with today’s Arabs. Wage slavery is more efficient than chattel slavery — that was really one of the main reasons for the American civil war: The industrial North had learned it was cheaper to give workers a “wage” than actually provide the necessaries of life, and they forced the system on the South.
===
Glad to know that the Canadians out there also find Karole so incomprehensible. I offer this explanation: Mon. du Pont believes in one world government and thinks that a good start would be for Israel to just give everything to the Arabs as a show of good will, which the Arabs, naturally, would “constitutionally” reciprocate, leading to peace and sunshine in “The land previously known as Israel / Palestine” and on the rest of the planet .

But, Obadiah, most of the Blacks of Harlem, like most of the Blacks in the US, are indeed hard working, family oriented people. It is only the Democratic Party and the race-pimps that make most of the world, and too many White Americans, believe that all the Blacks are gangsters on welfare. That is not true, but it serves the neo-Communist revolutionaries’ purpose. The current Presidential race may cure many Blacks (and others) of the delusion that the Democrats are their saviors. Lincoln was a Republican. The Democrats were the ones that fought integration. And the Democrats are the ones that tell the world that Black Americans have to depend on the government for everything. It is, and always was, a lie.

Ask Mr. Alain the Canadian how many financial settlements there were before the one of the Baie James in Quebec relative to the land use of Native lands? Aren’t all of us Non-Natives in Canada using their land? Is Quebec a Chinese word?

Mon. du Pont — Did I characterize your approach to peace correctly?

And, is not Quebec still trying to secede from Canada?

Dear Joseph:
I want the situation of the Babylonian Jews fully exposed this is justice towards them… By 1941, they were not a Museum culture read museum culture as a “mummified culture”. So for whose sake should their situation be silenced?
For the sake of perpetuating different mythologies such that Israel was necessary stritcly to host Europeans only fleeing persecution and extermination?
For the sake of avoiding Muslims to face basic questions regarding their treatment of the Oldest Jewish Diaspora community with claiming rights to Jerusalem? I mean where are their legal obligations to protecting the people of the Book? If Islam is not about protecting fully the Babylonian community, which Jewish community on earth can they be said to have obligations to protect, who are those people of the Book that transferred the Torah from one generation to another?

The Babylonian community had done no evil but could the Babylonian community just sit still and watch other Jews be exterminated? Can the Muslims sit still and watch other Muslims be exterminated?

Joseph, would you consider a people with a sick degenerate ‘thug’ based culture, an incarceration rate well above the mean, where 3/4 of all births are illegitimate, as a family-oriented people? Are all blacks like that? No, they are not. In fact, African immigrants are oftentimes family oriented and hard-working, but vis a vis American blacks, I think Obadiah is spot on in the comparison.

I hesitated to respond to Karole’s rant as it is off the topic. However the facts are the “Natives” lost their land and their rights through conquest. That the British North American Act accorded them special status and financial support by the government (understand tax payers as governments do not earn money), this was above and beyond anything required. Furthermore, contrary to the myth of the “noble savage”, the Natives themselves came from elsewhere and often migrated to different regions of North America due to war and conquest between the different groups. No, they did not live peacefully and in harmony with mother nature prior to the arrival of the evil White man. That we continue to provide them with free housing, education and health care even when they prefer dependency to self sufficiency confirms that either we are overly charitable or suckers. Take your pick.

Albert — No. You are correct that Black American culture has indeed degenerated to a horrible extent. This is largely the result of well-intentioned welfare programs that simply do not work. The only way Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” could be passed through Congress was to include the provision that a mother with children could not receive any aid if there was an able bodied man in the household. This, along with the liberalization of American culture in general, resulted in the unbelieveable level of illegitimate births the Black community now suffers. And the liberal Supreme Court allows pornography on the TV and in “music” recordings that would never have been allowed in a sane society. Nontheless, “most” Blacks in the US do go to work every day and are not criminals (except maybe smoking a little weed). The worst problems are in the inner cities. So, yeah, Obadiah’s point was well made as to Harlem, I guess. But even there, most Blacks are not thugs. Don’t want to walk down the street alone after dark there, anyway, though .

Good lord, Karole, I really do try to follow your train of thought, but I guess I’m just not up to it. What IS your point???
===
Muslims do sit still and watch other Muslims be exterminated all the time. In fact, it is most often Muslims doing the exterminating.

Mr. Alain:
The fact remains that the first known inhabitants of North America are the Natives so is the case in Canada. Now as far ar your Conquest theories go… they were not simply conquered… they died quite in numerous numbers from the diseases the Europeans brought with them and also from the biologial warfare the British led on them.

Karole — Europeans came to America and killed most of the natives, either on purpose or not. Sounds exactly like conquest to me.

No, Joseph. It is nothing at all like conquest. In conquest, a certain group invades lands inhabited by another group, kills many of them, and takes the lands.
While the Europeans came to America, killed most of the (Previous) Americans, and took the lands.
Don’t you see the difference?

Oh, wow. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before! Thanks for clearing that up for me, Erick .

No problem. I’m always glad to help

NO WATER-PIPES PLAN by Barry Chamish

In late July, Israel will stop receiving water from Lake Kinneret (Sea Of Galilee) which supplies 70% of the national supply and the country will fall into deep thirst. The ignorant pundits think this is because of weather:

ISRAEL FACING “UNPRECEDENTED” DROUGHT
http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2428

KINNERET DROPS BY 6 C.M. OVER PESSAH
by JPost Staff
April 27, 2008
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1208870499312&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

The water level in the Sea of Galilee, Israel’s largest reservoir and freshwater source, has dropped by six centimeters (2.36 inches) over the Passover holiday, the Water Authority announced.
In July the level is expected to drop below the “Black Line,” the absolute lower limit below which no more water can be pumped from the lake.
Experts predict Israel to experience a drought of potentially unprecedented proportions because of a relatively dry winter that follows on the heels of several dry years. The Black Line is met when water levels drop to a point so low that the openings of the pumps are exposed and further pumping becomes simply impossible.
The truth is that the Kinneret is drying up from the activities of the “peacemakers.” I should know. In 1994, I interviewed the chief Israeli negotiator of the Water Treaty between Jordan and Israel. Back then I was the Israeli correspondent for a London company called the Gemini News Service. Thanks to them, my work was published widely throughout Third World newspapers. I noticed a newspaper quote about the water negotiations from Yaacov Tsemach of the national water company, Tahal. It caught my eye because a Yaacov Tsemach was my really good, longtime army buddy. I admired his sharp wit and, a rarity among Israelis, great sense of humor. So I called Tahal and to my total delight, it was my buddy on the line.
We arranged to meet and got along like old times. He was assistant to the chief negotiator of the water sections of the then-building, Israeli-Jordanian Peace Treaty. I asked if I could interview the negotiator and he said he’d put in a good word for me. Well, a good word from Yaacov did the trick. If I agreed to keep the negotiator’s name anonymous, he would meet with me within the week.
We met at a Tel Aviv restaurant and he began, like all good bureaucrats, handing me graphs and surveys. In retrospect, I’ve wondered why I brought out so many sources, but the truth must be, the rest of the media were selling “peace” and I was looking where they chose not to enter. The bar graphs showed a lot of blue above the “red” line of the lake over 30 odd years before the Treaty, then it sunk after the proposed “peace” agreement. I, naturally, asked what happened.
The negotiator ordered a drink, then shortly after, another. And he became teary.
“I sure hope our leaders know what they’re doing,” he said. “Because if they’re wrong, the Kinneret will disappear in a generation. Within twenty years, it will be nearly useless for our water needs.”
I asked what he meant. He then gave me the title of my Gemini article, “Giving Away Dream Water.”
“The government is going to give away 50 million cubic meters of lake water a year and they ordered me to find it. I’m giving away dream water.”
The negotiator told me where he went looking for the water. “There are brackish streams on the west of the lake. We’ll give that away. We’ll dam the Yarmuk and give that water away. But it was supposed to flow into the system anyway. There is no water to give away. Not even 5 million cubic meters. The government is so anxious to sign the Treaty with Jordan that it’s accepting all their arguments. The truth is the Kinneret is our lake. They have no claim on it.”
The seriousness of the man’s dilemma became more obvious as I walked him to his car. “You think 50 million cubic meters is nothing. And it is in one year, provided it’s replenished the following year. But 50 million compounded year after year will suck the lake dry in one generation, after staying stable for millennia. Just don’t write that I killed our lake.”
And still, the writers from Israel report on dry winters and hot springs as the cause of the upcoming disaster. One of the real killers of the lake is currently President of the State. Remember him with deep emotion when your tap runs dry.

***

And now the Disengagement of Judea and Samaria is on. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will be abandoning 40 villages, leaving in its place, rent-a-cops. And ten villages won’t even get private guards. They are on their own. Don’t ask why the residents pay taxes for protection. It’s gone. And for this we can thank the Pipes Plan of ‘05. Why use the army to pull the Jews out of Gaza when all the army has to do is leave?

http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/287
Should the [Israeli] government go ahead with the forcible removal of Jewish residents of Gaza, intra-Israeli violence appears to be a distinct possibility. Which in turn makes me wonder why the Israeli authorities do not take quite a different track and merely stop providing security for them.
Faced with the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli residents of Gaza can make up their own minds about what to do. Presumably, they will peacefully leave their
houses. This should be done with much advance notice: “On some date in 2005, the IDF will be withdrawn from Gaza. Make your decisions accordingly.”

The author of the ghastly plan is Daniel Pipes, a neo-con member of the Council On Foreign Relations, who got his money and influence not through any talent, he has little enough of that, but because his daddy Richard was head of the CIA’s Soviet Office.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125978

In the latest in a series of decisions making Jewish life in Judea and Samaria more difficult, the army is leaving 40 towns.

The IDF is transferring the responsibility for protecting 40 Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) to private firms, and withdrawing protection altogether from ten others. The Yesha Council’s Security Officer, Shlomo Vaknin, says, “The government is privatizing our security.”

Recent decisions affecting the personal and communal safety in Yesha towns include the following:
Cancellation of Mivtzar program, in which a local emergency response team is trained by the army, to be utilized in case of a terrorist infiltration or other such crisis. “Mivtzar was the ideal response to the threat on our towns,” Vaknin explains. “The fighters know the area, are well-trained, and their presence here was permanent and binding. The towns near Gaza and in the north want to copy this program - yet here the army is cancelling it…”
Collection of weapons from the communities. The army explains that weapons had been stolen from residents, and that any trained resident who wishes to obtain a gun can do so.
Cancellation of subsidies for enforcing private cars’ windows from rock attacks.
Withdrawal of National Service girls from security headquarters in the towns.
Cancellation of budgeted funding for protecting school buses for special-education and handicapped children against shooting attacks. “We will not be able to open the school year next year if a solution is not found,” Vaknin warns.
Cancellation of budgeted funding for running security vehicles. “Some towns simply cannot use their security vehicles anymore,” Vaknin says.
Of the neo-con agenda, Israelis were given a one evening course of their deranged thinking by one John Loftus in ‘03. Loftus was a member of the board of the Root And Branch Association, I add, my favorite lecturing ground in Jerusalem. And when he was scheduled to speak, chairman Arye Gallin invited me to watch his speech and present Loftus with my books. I did this but I wouldn’t sign the books.
I used to be a top drawer, getting up to 100 for my speeches. One DVD I sell, The Vatican’s New Campaign For Jerusalem, was recorded at Root And Branch. But for Loftus, the crowds were around the block outside the building. Close to 300 were there for him.
And did he disappoint!
He began well, giving an overview of the oil cabal he described in the book co-written with Mark Aarons, The Secret War Against The Jews. The villains were the likes of J.D. Rockefeller, Prescott Bush, the Dulles brothers, John Foster and Allen, etc. When I asked him why he just didn’t say that ALL his secret warriors were initial members of the CFR, he turned flush with anger and said, “Anyone who associates the CFR with the oil cartel is nuts. The President is his own man and takes no advice from his father.”
And then he added, “The Oslo Accord was good for you and you should not retaliate for attacks against it.”
Finally, the audience awoke. “Not retaliate?” one asked. “We’ve suffered 2,000 casualties since Oslo.” I add, it’s past 10,000 now.
“Don’t worry,” he added. “WE have everything in control. Saddam Hussein snuck out his weapons of mass destruction at night by truck when our satellites couldn’t see them, into the Bekaa Valley of Syria. After Iraq, we’ll take them from Syria.”
Stunned crowd! Sitting next to me is Gemma Blech, the photographer of my book Bye Bye Gaza. She observes, “He’s giving away the New World Order plan.”
And then, continued Loftus, “We’ll sweep into Iran and polish them off.”
Loftus returned to America and to his commentator job at Fox-News. Twelve of the audience met at a Kosher Italian restaurant down the street to digest the insanity we had heard. We agreed, this was the Bush, neo-con battle plan. And whatever you may think of the Iraqi resistance, without out it, the Pipes-Loftus-Cheney-Rumsfield et al gang would have had their way with ease.
But back in Israel today, the water will be a trickle by late July and the IDF is taking Pipes at his word.

My last piece of the Wermacht pope rabbi host Arthur Schneier received lots of correspondence:

Did you forget that Shneier was the namesake for the new CFR center at Yeshiva University? He’s the CFR’s symbol for the infiltration and destruction of Torah Judaism.

http://www.freeread.com/archives/664.php :UN’s Alliance Of Civilization Initiative. I’ve been watching this freak for some time now, if you don’t think they have a peace plan for all united, then think again. This freak is a central part in the puzzle of pride and rebellion against YHWH.

sent you information on Rabbi Schneier and his Appeal to Conscience Foundation, along with how he was as someone who was useless in representing the Jewish community where the AOC was concerned. I sent you this information over a year ago. FYI, his Foundation is not based on Jewish ideals. It is more a leftist sell-out conglomeration. http://www.appealofconscience.org/officers-trustees.cfm He likes being important more than he likes being Jewish. Although I can’t easily find the link, those who attended his dinner didn’t represent the Jewish community in any way.

http://www.yu.edu/schneier_center/
although for some reason when I tried it, the link was down (presumably temporarily). When I saw it last time I noticed that Richard Haas and a host of other CFR members were on advisory council.

The subjects I was asked to comment on include Gush Katif, Sharansky, The Transfer Agreement, The Second Lebanon War, Rabin, etc., in short, my history of modern Israel. Within, I kid at times, am philosophical occasionally, but the core is very real. I outline practical, desperate steps needed to oust the ruling establishment and replace it with a government determined to save the state from ruination.
You’ve all seen the trailer of the DVD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBt-LxzXllA
Now I’m determined to spread the message. I’ll be sending it to anyone who has bought my DVDs or books, for free, if you so desire. I’ll add another DVD free if you order now for $10.
And I’ll make a package of 4 DVDS for $15. TAKING BACK ISRAEL and any three of the others:

The Best Of Barry 2007 - A brand new MP3 with 124 radio shows from 2007. A week of me on one disc.
Preventing The Israeli Holocaust - Recorded in Denver last year, I outline the Israeli political disaster as it exists at this moment, complete with missiles.
The Vatican’s New Crusade For Jerusalem - Recorded in Jerusalem and filled with expert guests, I explore the history, then and now, of the Vatican’s covert fight to make Jerusalem its capital.
The Secret War Against The Settlers - How the Israeli ruling establishment works with the CFR to eliminate Judea and Samaria.
Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin And Wayne Owens - Recorded in Salt Lake City, the first half is the complete Rabin assassination, followed by how the same gang did the same thing to Utah Congressman Wayne Owens.

Barry Chamish — Very disturbing about the Sea of Galilee, as well as your other points. An awful lot to digest. Just one criticism, though: You use the term “neo-con” (short for neo-conservative) several times. As an experienced journalist, you should know that in the US that is a code-word for “Jew” or “the Jewish (pro-Israel) lobby”. The ones you are calling “neo-con” are clearly NOT pro-Israel, so I would suggest using another term to avoid confusing Americans any more than they already are.

According to Wikipedia, desalination costs about $3.06 per thousand gallons which (unless I got the math wrong) is about 75 cents per cubic meter (=1000 liters).
+
So 50 million cubic meters is worth around $40 million at today’s energy prices.
+
Sounds like cheap peace to me.

I’m glad that Bar is ready to donate us 40$ dollars. Those Australians are such greats fellas.

We’ll take it in cash, thank you very much.

As far as I understand, 50 mil cub.m. is an extra, not the entire consumption by Jordan.
You desalination cost estimate is ballpark correct, though oil price increase probably doubled that figure recently.

Stable dictatorships & kingdoms do not want war. By going to war they put their regime at risk. Hence Jordan, Syria & Egypt are not likely to attack Israel.
+
otoh Saudi Arabia looks very unstable. The royal family appears to be sitting on a powder keg with a smoldering fuse. If the situation starts to stew, the appearance of an attack on Israel might prove politically popular.
+
The trend for the price of desalination is downwards. Solar energy could readily replace oil or coal or nuclear power. Global warming is moving weather patterns towards the poles. France, Spain & Italy have reduced rainfall. So will Israel. Israel should build excess capacity, and sell the surplus water to Jordan, Syria & Lebanon.

There you go, Danny. Straight from Kangaroo land. We have our orders. Better get to it. Rally all the Jews and let’s make water for the Arabs.

LOL! Erick your biting wit is brilliant, and, very Israeli.

As for the water situation, kick the 5th column out, drive the Palestinians into Jordan and the water situation will take care of itself. Consumption will decrease, and the savings from supporting Arabs can be used to build desalination plants for Jews and no one else.

The solution is so simple. It is relatively easy to control Arabs, look at Hama or Black September. Look further back, to the methods of the Romans and the Mongols! The fact that we do not have the spine to terrorize our enemies shows the poison in the Jewish civilization.

Kahane Tzadak.

Albert:
Indeed, if the Jordanian rulers (Hashemim? I forgot their clan name) could maintain control over 80%-90% Palestinian population, then anyone can. Well, not leftists, because they can’t even control their children.
Also, about the water - Let them build their OWN desalination plants. They have access to the red sea. If they need access to the Mediterranean, well, there should be a price attached to it. Or we can just flood Gaza and let them draw water from there.
I’m still waiting to see a desalination plant for our own people who live in the south, for our crops, for our deserts.
It is true that we need to utilize this technology - but not to help our enemies.

Absolutely. As I said, only for Jews and, perhaps, righteous gentiles.

I think the name of the clan is the Hashemites, though I could be wrong. The Arab is used to being subjugated, over the centuries many have conquered them. It takes a particular breed of incompetence and weakness to have the problems America and Israel are having today.

When Yehudah HaMakabi, Caesar, Genghis Khan, the Assyrians…etc could have solved “Palestine” in a few days, and we cannot–then there is a problem.

Well, Bar, there are a few problems with your argument.
Stable dictatorships do wage wars, and a lot. Consider the Soviets under Stalin or Nazis, or Nasser’s Egypt.
Then, Egypt and Jordan are anything but stable. Muslim Brotherhood won every election in Egypt, and in Jordan Palestinian majority isn’t fond of the Bedouin minority rule.
And solar energy cannot replace oil, really. As a matter of fact, it takes more oil-derived energy to manufacture a solar water heater than it ever collects from the sun.

Danny,
+
Stalin waged a defensive war. Germany was a democracy & Adolph was democratically elected. Egypt thought the new boys on the block would be a pushover. From what I have heard of the Bedouin, it wouldn’t need too many to subjugate the Palestinians for their King.
+
Oil is not the only mineral energy source. Coal is more commonly used for electricity generation. Present technology solar cells produce less electricity than is required for their manufacture, although indications are that imbalance will change. I am dubious of the proposition that a solar hot water heater takes more energy to manufacture than “it ever collects from the sun”. Wikipedia suggests that 50% - 75% of household water heating can be provided in suitable (clear sky tropical & sub tropical) regions by solar hot water systems. Given that electric hot water systems typically consume several KWH per day per person, one year of that energy saving should exceed the refining, transport and manufacturing energy budget for a solar hot water heater.

Stalin, actually, waged an offensive war and Germans preempted. If you care, read Victor Suvorov on the subject.
The Soviets and Nazi Germany were equally “democratic”: both held nominal single-party elections. Not that democracies are immune from war.

When I read it, Hitler gained large minority of delegates in a democracy. He then gained power legally by arresting Communists, which left the Nazi party as a majority in Reichstag. (That loophole has been closed in most democracies by making legislators immune to arrest for most crimes.)
+
Why Hitler lost WWII in Russia has been variously ascribed to Churchill’s intransigent refusal to sign a peace treaty or Mussolini’s Balkan adventure. An alternative to Suvorov would be that Stalin read Mein Kampf and prepared for the foretold war.
