1)
Ultimately we need to understand that the Palestinian Movement, while originally they were a tool of the Arabs that wanted to use them to defeat Israel and rid the area of the West,
2)
since the early 1960’s the movement was a creature of the ambitions of the Soviet Union (Russia) that financed and trained Palestinian leaders, and with the fall of the USSR, it became a creature of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Ayatollahs of Iran.
3)
Disposing of Hamas and Hezbollah leadership will never be enough without a way to force regime change in Iran and end the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and its sponsors.
4)
That can only happen if (1) There is massive regional change, based on something like the Abraham Accords, that will create regional cooperation and provide opportunity for Palestinian Arabs to be part of other places and not just dreaming about replacing the Jews, or
5)
(2). Eventually finding a place for so-called Palestinian Arabs to immigrate to that will offer them opportunity.
6)
The teaching of hate, motivated by religious fervor, of Palestinian Arabs will not magically go away, especially not when antisemitism in Europe and elsewhere reinforces it, so the only solutions that can work, can eliminate terrorism,
7)
that can create regional stability and prosperity is to drop the idiocy of 2-state solutions or bi-national states that have never succeeded in world history even when two sides were not hostile to one another,
8)
and understand something the Poles understood after World War II, when they expelled all Germans from lands that became Poland, designating them as an existential danger to the Polish culture and people.
9)
So start thinking of rational solutions. Because just another period of quiet is not realistic."

WE WILL HAVE TO STUDY THAT. WE WILL FORM A COMMITTEE TO STUDY THAT ISSUE.
1)
WE WILL CALL FOR A CONFERENCE TO STUDY THE ISSUE AND CONSIDER SOLUTIONS.
Let’s be blunt. This means the politician either has no answer or refuses to state his or her position on the issue.
2)
Of course committees are fun. Good extra money, free travel. Great meals, and someone will be appointed to write some meaningless report saying virtually nothing - or maybe get some staffer or lobbyist to write it.

We are told that Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles or in some translations the Festival of Booths, & known also as the Feast of Ingathering, is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 7th month, Tishrei.
1)
We are also told that it started as an agricultural festival, celebrating a bountiful harvest and offering sacrifices of thanks for the harvest.
2)
We are also told that we are to be reminded of the shelters we lived in in the desert under the guidance of Moshe Rabbeinu for our 40 years of wandering.

1)
When asked what their objection is to a "Jewish State" they answer that “they have no problem with a "Jewish State", but they have a problem with any “ethnic based state anywhere”.
Think about that.
They object to a Jewish State because it is an ethnic based state.
2)
But where is their objection to all the other ethnic based states in the world, which is a majority of the world - from China to Germany to France to Italy, to Zimbabwe and Algeria?

@rlefraim We have had these hurricanes before, it is just, back then the population was so much smaller, especially on the coasts.
