Pivotal article by Dr. Martin Sherman.
The question of the Joint List Arab party is explained, discussed and resolved.
Basic Law: The Knesset (Article 7A). It stipulated that:
A candidates’ list shall not participate in elections to the Knesset, and a person shall not be a candidate for election to the Knesset, if the objects or actions of the list or the actions of the person, expressly or by implication, include one of the following:
- negation of the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state;
- incitement to racism;
- support of armed struggle, by a hostile state or a terrorist organization, against the State of Israel.
If you wonder what underlines the rage of the Democrat Party and the leftist Democrat Establishment vis-a-vis President Donald trump, this article will resolve your wonder.
The promoters of these unconventional policies, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, are both despised by their respective establishments and under constant threat of removal by their livid political opponents.
Yet they both have transformed their respective countries. Their policies remind us that it is sometimes preferable to be respected rather than just be liked — and that when a nation is strong and does not beg for help, it often finds more than it needs.
Where did the idea that we can "divorce" the Palestinians come from? Commanders for Israel's Security – an Israeli movement founded by former senior security officials and military generals – is responsible for coining this concept. But military generals, as high up as they were, may be good at orchestrating military operations but they are obviously not so good at foreseeing the future or analyzing history.
A recent article that appeared in the March 28 Wall Street Journal, “The Two Americas Have Grown Much Fiercer”, by Peggy Noonan, is part of an editorial trend of late decrying the divided state of America in these times. As is typical in these pieces, the author does not place the onus for our fractured state on one side or the other, but instead promotes a theme of “Can’t we all just get along?” From the point of view of the “Trumpian” camp, this writer is here to reply with a resounding “no”, at least not until the core issue that motivates the tens of millions of Americans who support our sitting President is addressed
A successful pursuit of peace is preconditioned upon the predominance of reality over well-intentioned eagerness to produce peace. The latter is frequently tainted by oversimplification, short-term considerations and wishful-thinking.
