welcome home

I went out with a couple of family members join Am Yisrael and to line the streets as returned-hostage Eitan Mor made his way home after being released from the hospital. Mor was in a hospital in Central Israel, and living in Kiryat Arba means he would pass Bet Shemesh on his way home. Bet Shemesh residents lined the road to welcome him home and show love... 










I did this several times over the past two years for the processions of local hero soldiers being taken for burial after falling in the war, it is nice to do it in a more celebratory fashion for the celebration of a returned hostage...

everlasting peace

I like how President Trump keeps calling our situation things like "everlasting peace in the Middle East" while here in Israel it is a barely tenuous ceasefire. 

If not for all the "Bibisitting" the US administration is doing to make sure we dont go back to war, the ceasefire might well have already been ended...yet to Trump this is everlasting peace. 

Lu Yehi, as they say... let it be.. who knew we could achieve everlasting peace just like that...

If Saudia Arabia says they will offer normalization fo relations in exchange for a Palestinian State - no thank you. They can continue riding on donkeys while we will continue to develop.

gerrymandering the threshold

Coalition members are worried by polls that show in the upcoming elections, whenever they will be held, would likely see some parties not crossing the minimum threshold. Specifically the coalition is worried about Betzalel Smotritch's party and care less about other parties in a similar situation. To avoid those votes being wasted should Hatzionut Hadatit not cross the threshold, they are considering lowering the threshold to ensure this won't be a problem.

If they do this a couple parties on the Left will owe them a debt of gratitude as well.

In essence this is the Israeli form of gerrymandering. they dont care what is or isnt good for the country (and I am not saying it is bad, but they arent doing it because of idealistic reasons based on research and thought of what an ethical electoral system looks like but because he doesnt want to lose numbers of votes).

Anyway, in my opinion, Smotritch doesnt need to be saved as he will run as a bloc, presumably with Ben Gvir like last time. After elections they can split off to function and operate separately, as they did last time. On the left the parties at risk will be too haughty and stupid to make such arrangements, but if there is any real risk to Smotritch they will make deals to make sure he and his get in. The coalition would actually likely be better off not lowering the threshold as Netanyahu will push them to run together even if they dont want to, ensuring those votes are not wasted, while on the Left it is highly likely such parties will not make similar deals and votes will be wasted...

Hamas makes no sense

you can always count on Hamas to break a ceasefire arrangement and give Israel an excuse to fight. You can also count on Israel only responding mildly until they are forced to respond harshly, upsetting people at both ends of that.

this situation is slightly different in that Hamas broke the agreement so quickly it makes you wonder why they gave bac all the hostages so quickly leaving themselves with little to no leverage. Thank God they did, but being prepared to break the deal so fast makes no sense after giving up the living hostages.

I always think an open conversation and sharing of ideas is a good idea.. I do think this is mostly an attempt to ride the Charlie Kirk wave and take one out of his playbook, but open conversations are a good idea regardless
