This is Part 3 of my series on “What’s the Plan to Save America?” You can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here. I suggest reading them in order as they build on each other.
As I said earlier, I believe that President Trump’s Plan to Save America involves ENDING THE FEDERAL RESERVE and GIVING BACK control of America’s money to the people
T. Belman. Sherman gives a post mortem on “the documented lack of judgment of many among the senior Israeli leadership” in the lead up to the Gaza Disengagement of 2005.
The same lack of judgement that gave us Oslo and Arafat, I might add.
It would appear that that same lack of judgement is leading us to yet another debacle, namely, the withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor, that they, with some notable exceptions, are advocating.
Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
HISTORY IS ABOUT TO REPEAT ITSELF.
The nation’s leaders have proved bereft of foresight – or hindsight for that matter. Can a dangerous ‘trust deficit’ be avoided?

The nightmare stories of the Likud are well known. After all, they promised Katyusha rockets from Gaza as well. For a year, Gaza has been largely under the rule of the Palestinian Authority. There has not been a single Katyusha rocket. Nor will there be any Katyushas. – Yitzhak Rabin, radio interview, July 24, 1995
I am firmly convinced and truly believe that this disengagement… will be appreciated by those near and far, reduce animosity, break through boycotts and sieges and advance us along the path of peace with the Palestinians and our other neighbors.

This could be Netanyahu’s great and historic hour. His entire life up to now, his entire career, all the mistakes he had to learn from, are now culminating in a peak.
If he withstands the pressure and does what is required of him, which he knows well, he will go down in history alongside Churchill, because not only Israel’s fate against Islam is now on the line but also the fate of the Western world that is struggling against the same enemy.
I have a long list of accusations against Netanyahu. He is not to blame for the surprise attack of October 7, but he is to blame for the situation we have reached that day, with only half of the army remaining, which was reduced during his term, and without ammunition for the remaining half. In short, scrolling back through my feed provides a long list of his failures and mistakes. Read more…

In the 1st Sep 24 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:
With some viewing Kamala Harris as supportive and others skeptical of her alignment with the increasingly left-leaning Democratic Party, it is essential to consider deeper issues at play.

The range of Jewish attitudes toward presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris is mesmerizing.
There are those who cringe at her continued obeisance to the increasingly left-wing coterie that is setting the tone and texture of the Democratic Party, and wonder what, if any, support she would provide to Israel and the US Jewish community.
Security establishment shifts strategy amid rising tensions and recent attacks. “The Jenin operation is just the beginning,” security officials emphasize.

Recent events have triggered a major policy shift in Israel’s approach to the West Bank, Israel Hayom has learned. Previously designated as a “secondary arena” requiring stable maintenance since the war’s onset, recent attacks have convinced top officials that this stance is no longer tenable. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) now operate under a new paradigm, viewing the West Bank as the second most critical front, immediately after Gaza.
While this directive is still in its initial stages, with substantial changes on the ground expected to take time, a series of operations across the West Bank are imminent. “The Jenin operation is just the beginning,” security officials emphasize.
Peloni: Mike Benz explains how Deep State operators were able to so quickly align its allies in the press to execute sweeping censorship tactics to muzzle its opposition. In doing so, he walks us thru how the Neocon failures in Ukraine led to the need to completely silence opposition forces by weaponizing the press and pressuring compliance from social media companies to silence all dissenting voices, including those voices of pro-Trump supporters and vaccine injured/opponents.

Not a right to defend itself. A right to win.
Daniel Greenfield | Sept 3, 2024
“Israel has a right to defend itself,” Kamala told CNN. And then insisted that the “war must end.”
What Kamala was really saying was that Israel has a right to defend itself against an attack, but it doesn’t have a right to win.
Democrats and some Republicans have offered the same formulaic responses since Oct 7.
And long before that.
Israel now faces new strategic choices. It is seeking to cement its defeat of Hamas in Gaza and retain control of the southern Gaza Philadelphi corridor along the border with Egypt. It hopes to blunt terror attacks in the West Bank and Hezbollah’s attacks in Lebanon. At the same time, it faces Iranian-backed attacks from militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, as well as Iran’s own threats to carry out more attacks.
September 1, 2024
To: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Members of the Security Cabinet
For the sake of the hostages and for Israel’s security, Israel must retain control of the Philadelphi Corridor and Rafah Crossing areas while balancing all political considerations.
The IDSF expresses its deep shock at the cold-blooded murder of our abducted citizens by Hamas. Above all else, we commend and appreciate the IDF combatants and all the security services for their dedication, courage, and professionalism, and their confidence in the justice of the cause that brought them to the battlefield in this existential war. We also wish the speedy homecoming of all of our hostages.
This was an exceptionally important press conference in which Bibi laid out in finite detail that he would not abandon the Philadelphia Corridor and explicitly walked thru his reasons for doing so.

JENIN REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank — Troops have been operating in Jenin, considered by Israel to be one of the West Bank’s major terror hotspots, since early Wednesday, making it the longest operation in the territory in over 20 years.
The operation — internally dubbed “Summer Camps” by the army — began with simultaneous raids on Jenin, Tulkarem, and the Far’a camp near Tubas, with the goal of dismantling Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror networks in the three areas of the northern West Bank.
The entire policy of Israel’s elite after 7.10 boils down to twisting the government’s arm and preventing victory over Hamas. Before 7.10, it threatened to destroy the country from within. And what about 7.10 itself?

According to Hegel’s dialectics, at a certain stage of development “quantity inevitably turns into quality.” This is what happened to the ruling class of Israel.
For 30 years, the Israeli establishment (judicial, military, political, Academy and media) played with the destinies and lives of its people cynically and unceremoniously in favor of its interests and ideological preferences. The Shamir-Arens government was the last one allowed to be guided by the responsibility for the country’s future. Then the games began: gambling and bloody.
Here they are – the elite “Hunger Games”:
Looking back to see who else got it wrong is important – not because of the I-told-you-so opportunity, but because so many of those people are today still in positions of influence, or are still being quoted by the major news media as “experts.”

T. Belman. I do not think we should give up our goal of victory as emphasized by Netanyahu many times. These protestors would have you believe that there are enough hostages alive to warrant giving into their demands. I think otherwise.
A majority of Israelis support the goal of victory. Over 700 IDF soldiers have lost their lives to the cause of winning. We must not let them down.
Israel’s survival depends on it.
The vice president came off as fragile, evasive and inarticulate.

Tim Walz, enjoy music by members of the marching band at Liberty County High School in Hinesville, Georgia, Aug. 28, 2024, as they travel across Georgia for a two-day campaign bus tour.

The outpouring of fawning media narratives (they can’t even be described as stories), the hundreds of millions spent building an insta-cult of personality through social media and the joy-themed DNC were meant to transform Vice President Kamala Harris from an unpopular number two into Obama number two.
