Here's my answer.
I will never ask for an apology from Guy Peleg.
1)
Why? Because an apology is not enough to absolve for the harm caused to the nation and the Jewish people as a whole, In Israel and in the world, which he did deliberately.
2)
Apologies are for accidents, for mistakes. Peleg didn't make an accident, nor did he make any small mistake. He has intentionally violated every ethical value of journalism and of Judaism (although he sees the latter as irrelevant) in order to defame the army, and
3)
indirectly falsely defame the government, and worse, defame the Jewish people. Is he in some competition with other haters like Yair Golan, who seems to have despised most of the Jews?
4)
No, friends, people like Peleg and Golan should be treated the way our ancestors treated those who have become an existential danger to Jewish survival — boycott, and maybe some serious lawsuits for fraud and extortion."

No, I am not going to write about the Sacrifices ordered for the Tabernacle (Mishkan) and then taken to the Temple in Jerusalem.
2)
I have three observations regarding the “sacrifices” (Korbonot). 1. They were abolished periodically for 1400 years. 2. After the destruction of the Second Temple, they were discontinued, and our Sages replaced them with prayer.

Joe Kent, who was fine with Trump’s policy on Iran until suddenly—after supporting it for months—he changed his opinion 100%.
1)
His claim: the war is because of Israel and the Jews, and that Iran was not a threat to the USA.
The problem is that just before, he claimed the opposite.
2)
A short time ago, Joe Kent said that Iran needs to be hit hard, that its missiles and nuclear facilities have to be destroyed. He stated that Iran’s goal on October 7, 2023, was an Iranian show to destabilize movement toward the inclusion of more states in the Abraham Accords.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “I wonder if we need more laws dealing with elections in the USA.
Three things are in the Constitution of the USA dealing with voting:
1. Only citizens of the USA can vote in federal elections.
1)
2. The state legislatures are to decide how the voting process should be conducted.
3. All voting for federal offices must comply with federal law regarding age qualification, non-discrimination, etc., as covered by the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
2)
Now, keeping the above in mind…
A. Should the federal government enact laws that remove the responsibility for how the vote should be held from state legislatures?

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “The case for judicial reform in the State of Israel?
Reposting this after receiving a lot of questions from both Israelis and Diaspora Jews. It seems there are many people who simply do not understand the issue. So, here it goes.
1)
The real question that has never been fully answered in Israel is what the role of the High Court should be in a Jewish and democratic republic, which the State of Israel was intended to be.
2)
In a democratic republic, the legislature—in Israel, the Knesset—is supposed to represent the will of the people and enact their laws, the collective opinion of the voting public, limited only by a system of Basic Law, in the form of a written constitution...

1)
a serious attempt to liberate the State of Israel from a judicial system that has, in his view, become more like a Stalinist court protecting a corrupt leftist elite than a court worthy of treating every person equally before the law.
2)
Unfortunately, Professor Moshe Cohen Elia, who was not previously known for such actions, has been forced to speak out publicly against corrupt political actors who continue to pursue their agendas even during wartime—something many would consider treason.”

Listening to a commentary on one Arabic language program, I noted something interesting, called “the Vietnam syndrome” متلازمة فيتنام.
1)
In short, it works like this: when dealing with the USA, Europe, or Israel, all one has to do is be willing to take casualties, which in Islam means accepting, even celebrating, the creating of “shahidin” (martyrs), and
2)
to keep it up long enough that the American, European, or Israeli left, for political advantage, undermines their nations’ war efforts by crying about casualties or cost or whatever hysterical line they can adopt, and
