such as France and Germany, both of which currently have shrinking populations, lots of resources, fertile land, and an abundance of space.
4. Like it or not, we need to be realistic. Gaza rebuilt for its current population will still, within a very short time,
11)
be “Hamastan,” with a population motivated to repeat October 7. And the population of Judea and Samaria that openly demonstrated its agreement with Hamas’ massacre—as soon as they can, they will be planning another massacre, not just in Gaza but from Samaria,
12)
with thousands coming out of Tulkarem and Qalqilia into the center of Israel.
And do not expect help from those you think are friends when the next wave of terrorists comes. Remember October 7, 2023, when for 24 hours the world said it was horrible, and
13)
yet 24 more hours later the Western press was blaming Israel for being bad to the poor Palestinians before Israel had a plan to retaliate.”

1)
Here are the real choices, like it or not, and there’s no room for wishful thinking, nor for being pushed into deals that several years in the future will mean more terrorism and more Jewish deaths.
So, let’s set parameters of what goals should be set.
2)
1. No nation can tolerate vulnerability to existential threats. Poland and Czechoslovakia after WWII deported Germans who had lived in their territories for generations, declaring them to be an ‘existential security and cultural risk.’

The USA is still different than the rest of the world, and here are a few reasons:
1)
1. That has as its basic belief, that all men are created equal, and that no man is the subject of a leader, a government, a king, or any other human being.
2)
2. The only nation that has incorporated into its basic laws (the US Constitution) a list of rights that the individual citizen has that government cannot take away — 'The Bill of Rights.'

This is a sad Parsha in many ways. In this Torah portion, God instructs Moses and Aaron regarding the red heifer. Miriam, who is the sister of Moses and Aaron, dies. 1)
Moses hits a rock to bring forth water rather than speaking to it. At the end of the parsha, Aaron dies.
Of course, there is more to it.
After years of wandering through the desert, the people arrive in the wilderness of Zin. Miriam dies, and
2)
the people thirst for water. G‑d tells Moses to speak to a rock and command it to give water. Moses gets angry at the complaining people and strikes the stone. Water flows, but Moses is told by G‑d that neither he nor Aaron will enter the Promised Land.

Regime change in Iran would solve many of the most serious problems facing the Middle East. It would remove what many consider the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, cutting off the regime's financial and military support for Hamas, 1)
Hezbol!ah, the Houthis, and other Iranian-backed proxy groups.
It would also fulfill the promise President Trump made to the Irqnian people when he expressed support for their struggle against the Islamic Republic.

Many Iranians interpreted his message as encouragement to continue seeking freedom despite the risks. According to figures cited by commentators such as Goldie Ghamari and Mayar Tousi, between 40,000 and 50,000 Ir@nians—including protesters, women, children, and

The JD Vance MOU, if carried through successfully, risks handing the Islamic Republic of Iran a strategic lifeline that directly undermines the expansion of the Abraham Accords.
1)
The likely end state is not regional stability, but a recalibration in which Iran regains economic and geopolitical breathing room and rebuilds while Gulf states grow more hesitant to align openly with Israel.
2)
Even under nominal compliance, Ir@n has a long track record of testing boundaries—probing how far “compliance” can be stretched while preserving its long-term strategic goals.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (born 1961) is a terrorist in a suit and is far from the moderate he is being painted at this time by the Trump administration. He was the IRGC brigadier general who has served as the Speaker of the Parliament of Ir@n since 2020.
1)
The United States designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on April 15, 2019. The designation was made by the Trump administration under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, citing the IRGC's support for proxy militias and

destabilizing activities across the Middle East. The United States cannot make a deal with the IRGC because of this designation. However, as he is now the Speaker of the Parliament that evidently magically changes who he is according to the Trump administration.
