David M Friedman -A few thoughts on President Trump's Gaza plan, after the benefit of a little sleep:

1) those screaming about a "forced evacuation" obviously don't understand the landscape. I know, from many direct conversations, that most people in Gaza wanted to leave even before 10/7, but no one would take them in. Now, the issue is both amplified and academic: there simply is no physical option to remain in Gaza.

2) assuming civilians agree to leave but Hamas sympathizers and terrorists do not, Hamas will be deprived of its most strategic weapon — human shields — and its eradication will be accelerated.

3) the potential for Gaza is off the charts — 25 miles of sunset-facing Mediterranean beachfront. Assuming an average of 1000 feet of frontage per project, that would permit 132 major multi-hundred million dollar developments along the beach. Between construction, management and service jobs, that's enough economic horsepower to employ hundreds of thousands of people. Sounds like a perfect investment for America's new Sovereign Wealth Fund — makes the US rich and the MidEast safe!

4) Hamas' defeat as a so-called "ideology" comes when everyone sees how much better life is after it loses its territory. New Gaza will be a perpetual monument to the defeat of radical Islamism.

What a day for America and Israel!

Jerusalem light rail to suspend service for five days

Beginning on Sunday, Jerusalem's light rail will not operate for five days, to allow for upgrades and tests ahead of the line's extension.

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.
