Seriously one would think the universities that top the list are those that most effectively prepare their students for the world,
1)
that produce students that know how to think creatively, logically, and be a person who seeks fact.
If one believes that, one would be mistaken these days.
2)
In reality today, the “best” universities tend to be those that have become like clubs with members holding that degree having a best chance of entrance into the world of wealth.
To a great degree, “best” is a better of “seeming to be” over “being”.
3)
The period after the October 7 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, educational standards and informational standards were informally exposed at some of the so-called best Universities in the US and Europe. When students at Harvard and

Columbia and Georgetown carrying signs that said “From the River to the Sea”, were asked what river, what sea, and were unable to answer such a simple question,

one might start asking questions about both the educational standards of the school and the intellectual curiosity of the students."

It seems this is now a current issue, with both certain personalities on the Left, and perhaps the Democratic Party leadership, and
1)
some people on the Right have asserted that the USA should not be aiding Israel for whatever reasons that they find interesting today.
So, what is the agreement?
Briefly, the agreement has several parts.
2)
(A) The USA budgets an annual expense of some $3 Billion for Israel. 85% of the $3 Billion must be spent in the USA. (This is unique among all US Aid programs as no other program has such a provision).

This means Barack & Michelle Obama and the Democrat super-donors that run Netflix will now own a monopoly on children’s entertainment.
2)
- The Obamas already have a nine-figure Netflix production deal
- They’ve released 17 propaganda titles focused on children, fatherhood, BLM, and trans ideology.
- Obama insider Susan Rice sits on Netflix’s board 3)
It is axiomatic that if one refuses to recognize a problem, one cannot find its solution. JD Vance is gaslighting and pandering to the Jewish community.
Look at how he distinguishes antisemitism from racism and for what purpose.
1)
The Woke Right or Woke Reich as some call them is real and their ideas are being mainstreamed by J.D. Vance's close friend Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others.
2)
In fact, Kevin Roberts, the President of the Heritage Foundation has come under fire for his support for Tucker Carlson and Pat Buchanan and the scandal has damaged the reputation of both himself and the Heritage Foundation with employees and

The Palestinian movement didn’t emerge from some noble dream of “liberation”. It grew out of the 20th-century pan-Islamist and pan-Arab projects - the same old attempt to restore a civilizational empire, dressed up as modern resistance.
2)
The Muslim Brotherhood spread its ideology from Egypt in the 1930s, built its networks in Gaza and Jerusalem, and by 1987 Hamas simply became its Palestinian franchise. This was never about founding a state; it was about reviving an Islamic sphere of control.

I hate to say it and many will object to my doing so, but reading the drama of this parsha, it sounds sort of like a soap opera or a Latin American telenovela. 1)
Jacob, now very rich after being away in Haran for 20 years, returns to the land of his Isaac and Abraham with all his family and wealth. After all the years away, he is concerned about how he will be received back in the region by his brother and his clan.
2)
So he sends ahead hundreds of cattle and sheep to appease his brother and to avoid conflict.
But on the night before meeting Esau and confronting a possible problem, Jacob has an interesting experience, one some call a dream, one others call an actual event.

Perhaps some of these people who pretend to know what the law actually is should learn a bit before they spread lies.
1)
The Geneva Conventions, five of them, intentionally have omitted terrorism, terrorists, and terrorism’s sponsors from any considering or benefits otherwise due, under international law, to combatants in war.
2)
If one kills terrorists in the act of facilitating or doing terrorist acts, it cannot be a crime under international law.
What may be a crime, a moral crime, is acting to support terrorists and terrorism."
