Parsha Chukat
numbers 19:1–22:1

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.

We hear constantly about what they call a "Two-State Solution" to the conflict between Israel and so-called Palestinians,

I predict that without regime change, without ending the Islamic Republic, within 4 years, there will be another war, and within 4-6 years, there will be a nuclear Iran.

Tucker Carlson is a dangerous kook. Dropping the bomb ended WW2 much faster and gave the allies the win. It actually saved lives. He must stop trying to rewrite WW2 history. It is also where we later learned to use the bomb as a form of deterrence.

Israel contributes to U.S. military and national security in several significant ways:

Intelligence Cooperation: Israel and the U.S. share intelligence on common security threats, collaborate on technology development, & coordinate efforts in areas such as counterterrorism.
1) This cooperation enhances both nations' abilities to address regional and global security challenges.

Missile Defense Technology: Israel has developed advanced missile defense systems like the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Iron Beam.
