Through periods of plenty and famine, exile, and conflicts, B’nei Yisrael (now referred to as Jews), looked to the Land of Israel as their homeland, promised by the Creator to a people chosen to have a special role in the history of civilization."

A. A serious lack of education—in history, culture, sociology, civics—and this is international, not in one nation alone. In almost every Western nation, young people seem to know nothing about how their nation's political system works beyond the clichés and

talk about voting. Fewer seem to understand anything about their legal systems. They know what they do not like, but they do not even know how to define why. That leaves nations open to corrupt politicians and systems.

If you want to know what is wrong with the Internet, and with Facebook, it is people posting slander—without any evidence, of course.
They do it against Trump, against Netanyahu, against Musk. Of course, you see a pattern.

Anyone who the leftist oligarchy wants to destroy or demean gets attacked with false accusations, but people believe they can attack without consequences.

The current political games in Israel have people seriously looking at some way to make the system more democratic, more accountable to the citizens, and more stable.

But I have a question. In a world where political systems tend to reflect the cultural traditions of nations, only a few, Israel among them, do not. The Israeli system is a European transplant, reflecting the politics of Eastern Europe and its Christian heritage,

This is a clip from a March 2026 Tucker Carlson interview with The Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes, where Tucker Carlson states the US must "share power with China" due to its economic scale, 1)
framing it as realistic foreign policy amid Taiwan and Iran tensions, but the it is treasonous cession to the CCP. Enabling a Russia-China-Iran axis is bot at all in America's best interest and it is America Last.

Why in the world would an American advocate that America should cede its super power status to Communist China? Further, the Chinese do not share power.

And he laid out his plans.
1)
Increase French socialist policies, including nationalization of more operations.
Oppose the USA.
Force Europe to institute a permanent total boycott against Israel in support of the Palestinians.
So, let me ask you some questions.
Should the US consider France an ally?

If France boycotts Israel, will Israel be hurt by that?
If France moves to Marxism, I would boycott France."

In the 1950s, Cuba was a thriving nation, with a fast-growing economy—an economy that exported food, from beef to fruits and sugar. Yes, the regime that controlled Cuba then was bad—very bad.
1)
And yes, the Castro regime reforms did some good in areas of education and medical care, but in every other area of governmental rule, Cuba was a gross failure, living on subsidies from the Soviet Union and more recently from Venezuela.
2)
What Cuba under Castro did not seem to realize is that collectivism does not work so well, and when owners with experience in business and operations leave, replacing them with government bureaucrats does not work so well.
