A Now or Never “window of opportunity” favorable for the partition of Iraq and Iran to establish an Independent Kurdish State
Kurdish Independence a now or never proposition. Russia tied down in Ukraine. China occupied with Taiwan and Japan + facing a domestic economic meltdown similar to Japan’s lost generation. The collapse of the Islamic revolution in Iran with a US/Israeli victory presents the best opportunity to partition Iran into an Independent Kurdish state.
A US and Israel in the region could weaken Iranian influence, potentially emboldening Kurdish movements in Iraq into a unified Kurdish Republic partitioned from these two States. The proposition of Kurdish independence as a “now or never” opportunity quite compelling.
The Kurds stand today as the largest stateless nation post WWI. Iraqi Kurdistan already has a recognized autonomous region with its own institutions. Rojava in northern Syria has had de facto self‑rule, though under constant military and diplomatic pressure. External arming of Kurdish groups in Iran is already being discussed. A unified Kurdish Republic carved from Iraq + Iran a best case scenario: a clean, US/Israel‑backed partition into a large, unified Kurdish state.
The collapse of the USSR in 1991 and the hostility of the EU during President Trump’s first term, coupled by attempts by Pelosi and Biden to bring the Ukraine into the Nato alliance opens the possibility that President Trump might strike a deal to pull the US out of Nato in return for Putin’s support for an Independent Kurdish state.
Long-standing defense treaties started under the Wilson government in the past Century. The ‘Art of the Deal’ where Russia would recognize an Independent Kurdish state in Iraq and Iran partitioned based upon the precedents of Poland partitioned. Long standing Arab/Muslim terrorism has its consequences. A new Independent Kurdish Republic would not sit directly upon any Russian border.
Iraq and Iran failed states with years of internal anarchy and political chaos following the 1st and 2nd Gulf Wars. The initial partition of Iraq and Iran would leave a buffer zone between it and the borders of Turkey. Turkey did not fight the current Israel/US war with Islamic Iran. Consequently this partition does not concern nor involves Turkey. This partition no different than the British partition which established the Independence of Kuwait. That partition deprived Iraq access to the Sea.
The comparison between U.S. membership in NATO and treaties with Indian Nations throughout the 19th century highlights important similarities in the legal framework by which the United States engages with international and domestic agreements. Article 5 of the NATO treaty commits members to collective defense, meaning an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. Post collapse of the USSR in 1991 terminates NATO based upon the collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
Treaties made with Indian Nations similar to NATO treaties, these agreements. The precedent of the US Supreme Court vs Andrew Jackson ‘Trail of Tears’ stands. An international treaty does not compare to the basic law of the US Constitution. Despite the concept of treaties addressed in Article VI of the Constitution, the American Civil War determined in the case of the Commerce Clause also part of the US Constitution, that the Federal Government could regulate intra-state trade and commerce. The classic example: the SC Roe vs Wade ruling.
Political branches can break treaties when they no longer serve strategic US interests. Only revisionist history classifies Indian nations as ‘domestic agreements’. Only later with the virtual extermination of the Indian tribes did these treaties become classified as ‘domestic agreements’.
Trump 2.0 stands upon the foundation that foreign diplomacy operates on deception. European states failure to meet their required obligations to maintain the NATO alliance in good faith, also has undermined that post WWII treaty establishe by the Truman Administration. The Nato treaty does not compare to the 10 Commandments carved in stone.
Nato a post WWII treaty that exists merely as water under the bridge. The founding Fathers opposed making entangling alliances with Europe. Native nations only treated as “domestic dependents nations” to support the US manifest destiny declarations. Indian state prior to the conquest of from Sea to Sea had their own militaries, economies, and alliances no different than do the European states – despite joining or leaving the EU alliance – today. For example: the US and Britain had a strong alliance during the two European Civil Wars euphanistically called WWI & WWII. The Soviet victory over the Nazis refers to that war as ‘the Great Patriotic War’!
Trump Derangement Syndrome started with Russia-gate and the inside traitor Nancy Pelosi attempts to impeach the President. But a lot of water has flown under the bridge following the two assassination attempts upon the life of Trump. Trump 2016 faced a divided GOP with a very strong Neo Con “opposition”. Trump 2.0 leads the GOP. Power and interest ultimately decide whether Treaties endure or collapse. The U.S. has a long history of breaking solemn commitments when it chooses. Bottom line: post WWI the Allies failed to establish Kurdish Independence.
Remember insider traitor thief Nancy Pelosi

Wow What Flying
Purim War News: Each nation-state stands as their own God. This Torah revelation explains why only Israel accepted the local tribal god of Sinai. A world view which fundamentally rejects Xtian and Muslim Monotheism as puke. The פרט-specifics below serve as serve as illustrations – that strong national leaders shape the destiny of a nation like Mao and Stalin worshipped as ‘Cults of Personality’ during their lifetimes כלל – General Thesis. HaShem judges the Gods of Moav, Edom, Philistines, Ammon, Syria etc no different than the 10 plagues judged the Gods of Egypt. T’shuva does not mean repent any more that brit means covenant.
Mesechta Avoda Zarah specifically instructs that only Israel accepts the Torah. Hence the דיוק – the god of Sinai only a local tribal god. Clearly the god who delivered Israel out of Egypt not the God of Egypt. בראשית ברא אלהים introduces Av tohor wisdom commandments taught through the משל of the world created in six days. The נמשל introduces time-oriented Av Torah commandments which creates the chosen Cohen people in all generations through the sanctification of time-oriented commandments. Hence Torah commands mussar. Torah does not teach history. T’NaCH & Talmud, Siddur & Midrashim establish the culture, customs, practices and identities of the chosen Cohen people. Just that simple, no fancy dancing.
The god of Israel judged the Egyptian Gods. The concept of as above so below. The god of Israel vs. the Gods of Egypt serve as the eternal model of a Court-room trial. The Goyim world view which reads their Bible or Koran as Egypt’s Gods either false or subordinate means nothing. Goyim never accepted the Blessing/Curse brit of Sinai. Just as Goyim aliens do not determine the k’vanna of the mitzva of Moshiach so too Goyim do not determine the god of Israel.
The curse of g’lut: Jews do not do mitzvot לשמה – based upon the first Sinai commandment. Egypt לאו דוקא. The temple of Shlomo – av tuma avoda zara made by a fool. The Book of Kings makes satire by referring to Shlomo as the “wisest of all men”. The god of Israel binds only Israel because only Israel accepts the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
The Nicene Creed which equates Jesus as God, perhaps the strongest proof; international law a myth of propaganda morality, not a binding authority. Political conflicts throughout history falsely classified by some as a failure of diplomacy. But casting this political rhetoric upon the dust bin of history, political conflicts express a natural clash of sovereign “Gods.” Restated: A nation‑state — a functional “God.” Theological Universal Monotheism\tawhid, often called “international law” by UN member states who oppose Israel, attempt to override national sovereignty through religio/political rhetoric. But history provokes-proves that nations create their own sacred narratives. Universal monotheism directly resembles Great Power imperialism. The revelation of the Torah at Sinai establishes faith as judicial Sanhedrin court justice limited to the bnai brit people alone.
Other nations never bound to the 7 mitvot other than Ger Toshav. Why? These mitzvot make a required הבדלה which separates ger toshav from na’creeim. The Talmud always remains within the judicial boundaries which the Written Torah determines. Post sealing of the Shas Bavli all opinions made by scholars compare to US Supreme Court rulings which later Courts can overturn.
The Blessing/Curse Torah oath brit faith never presumes any conclusion that g’lut applies to HaShem as its applies to Israel. Any reading that attempts to teach this metaphor – it taken literally – merely a טיפש פשט. For example: among the Reshonim, only Rambam ruled halacha from aggadic sources. His Universal Monotheistic God permits Jews to daven in av tuma avoda zara Mosques.
That later Goyim, such as Hobbs, Schmitt, or modern nationalism “influenced” by the Torah does not invert this Torah “Nation-State as Functional God” as post Talmudic. Based upon the Torah premise: the chicken created and later laid eggs. Church rejection of the פרדס Oral Torah combined with their Jesus God invalidates its literalist reading of the Creation story. Just as Muhammad’s equal redefinition of prophets as persons sent to all nations invalidates the revelation of the Torah first commandment. Allah simply a Golden Calf word substitution.
Rambam’s universalist Noahide framework only a philosophical systematization, and it does not appear explicitly in the Talmud or Tanakh as a normative precedent. Hilchot Melachim 8–10, expresses a foreign philosophy — a Greek-influenced natural law perspective. The Talmud does not frame non-Jews as bound by a universal law in a systematic, Greek-like sense. Rambam abstracts from Talmudic rulings to a universal ethical schema — a philosophical move. There is no canonical Talmudic or Tanakh precedent for universalist moral obligations like Rambam imposes.
T’NaCH prophetic sources such as found Isaiah 13-14, 40-48 directed toward the failure of Israel to do t’shuva and remember the Sinai oath brit. Never to Goyim who never accepted this Sinai oath brit obligation. Same applies to Yonah sent to Nineveh. Repentance made by Goyim shares nothing with the Torah mitzva of t’shuva. Because t’shuva centers upon remembering the oaths sworn by our fore-fathers; repentance refers to regret made over personal sins.

Ukraine has captured more territory than Russia has taken in recent months, particularly during February 2026, highlighting a shift in momentum. However, these figures vary by source, with some analysts noting that winter conditions and troop morale play significant roles.
U.S. government social media post regarding the death of activist Quentin Deranque during political clashes in Lyon, France has limited the access of U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner to senior officials. His death has sparked significant outrage in France, leading to accusations and heightened tensions between political factions, particularly between far-left and far-right groups. The recent diplomatic spat involving Charles Kushner, the U.S. Ambassador to France, revolves around his failure to attend a summons from the French Foreign Ministry concerning the comments made by the U.S. in the wake of the tragic death of Quentin Deranque, a 23 year old far-right activist who suffered a suffered a fatal brain injury. In the aftermath, eleven suspects have been detained, with several under investigation for murder. Among those arrested were two parliamentary aides linked to La France Insoumise (LFI), a significant left-wing political party in France. Raphaël Arnault, a party member, faced significant backlash due to his connections to groups blamed for the violence. Despite being forewarned about the protest, local police failed to prevent or even timely respond to this political murder. This failure raises serious concerns about public safety and the police’s ability to manage politically charged situations.
Spain’s political landscape with the US, terminated after Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez refusal to support U.S. military actions in Iran, and denounced U.S. intervention in Venezuela. Spanish officials have voiced their “concerns” about the consequences of Sanchez’s defiance, including possible restrictions on Spanish shipping to the U.S. stemming from the refusal to allow weapon transport for Israel.
Trump’s “America First” policy aligns with Washington’s ideals by advocating for reduced military engagements abroad and questioning the utility of longstanding alliances with European nations, particularly Britain, France and Spain. The Trump Administration during its first term highly critical of NATO countries funding structures, framing NATO allies’ lack of investment as a drain on U.S. resources.
The Gaza Board of Peace excludes England France and the UN and Spain. But includes regional players like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, aiming for a “balanced” approach without traditional Western intermediaries. Trump’s “America First” policy aligns with Washington’s ideals by advocating for reduced military engagements abroad and questioning the utility of longstanding alliances with European nations, particularly Britain, France and Spain. The Trump Administration during its first term highly critical of NATO countries funding structures, framing NATO allies’ lack of investment as a drain on U.S. resources.
President Trump’s foreign policy echoes strategies reminiscent of those instituted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower following the Suez Crisis of 1956. This reflects a significant historical context regarding U.S. relations with European powers and the Middle East. The establishment of NATO in 1949 was a direct outcome of Truman’s support for European nations. No critic of Eisenhower ever once referred to his slap to both London and France as ‘Great Powers’ in Middle East diplomacy commonly referred to as ‘sharing the balance of power’ as US pre WWII Isolationism. Truman’s pivot, prioritized containing communism over long-term decolonization, fostering global disillusionment with U.S. foreign policy.
The original British empire policy coined as “maintaining the balance of power” in a region of interest, emerged as the US rejection of European colonialism and imperialism throughout history. FDR publicly denounced Paris colonialism in Vietnam. Alas Truman rejected this FDR anti-colonial policy and employed US ships to return the French back to Vietnam. That failure of leadership resulted in the Korean and Vietnam wars – a horrible disaster for the American people.
Truman’s abandonment of FDR’s anti-colonial stance exemplifies a critical failure of leadership, where short-term geopolitical interests overshadowed the long-term implications of supporting colonial powers. This pivot fostered continued conflict and disillusionment with U.S. foreign policy. President Trump seeks to make America Great Again, not based upon a Hoover isolation policy but rather a rejection of past Presidential incompetence and betrayal of the American manifest destiny vision first established by the Framers who established the American Republic and not the American Democracy as developed post Civil War. Dismantling the Federal bureaucracies and returning State economic autonomy back to the States as first laid down by the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution and Jefferson’s 10 Amendment, will this policy define Trump 2.0?
Will Trump 2.0 restrict all bills presented in either Houses of Congress to maintain the priority status that Congress persons in Washington serve as “ambassadors” of State legislatures. Only State Legislatures can introduces bills to their Congressional representatives sitting in Congress. Outlawing Corporate lobbies which currently dominate the Federal legislative process. Restricting corporate lobbying to the States would greatly enhance the prestige of State legislative governments. Limiting corporate lobbies to the states, acknowledges Washington DC not a separate state within the Union Republic. Openly rejects the false notion that frames Corporations as people. The Bill of Rights extends only to citizens but not business corporations.
As the Trump SC over-ruled Roe vs. Wade so too and how much more so may this Court negate the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) perversion. This Obamo-watch abomination stands upon several Post Civil War judgments which began with the notion that States do not have the Right to secede from the Union, and then elevated the privileges of Robber Baron monopolies. The 2010 Supreme Court ruling equates corporate political spending with free speech. However, based upon the simple principle: Guns do not kill, it takes a person to pull the trigger — business corporate interests do not qualify as people any more than guns kill.
Happy Purim Bless the leadership in both the US and Israel on Purim this year. Contrast the hostility of Mr. 2334 vs. Bibi’s speech before the full Congress warning against a nuclear Iran.
Turkey has strongly condemned the recent military actions taken by the United States and Israel against Iran. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan publicly criticized the strikes launched on February 28, 2026, expressing his sorrow over the loss of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and emphasizing Turkey’s desire for a diplomatic resolution instead of escalation.
Purim S’maach
The Megillah the only Book in the literature of the T’NaCH that has no שם השם. The Vilna Gaon (Gra) taught the word המלך functions as a word within a word רמז of the שם השם. How? The yetzer ha-rah “blackens the faces” of Israel (Megillah 11a). Post Sinai the Shekina רוח הקודש שם השם לשמה lives within the Yatzir Ha-Tov Hearts by means of dedicated/korban tohor middot Spirits.
Opposed by tuma middot spirits as expressed through the דיוק Yatzir ha-rah; the word המלך has the same numerical value as המן, just as the טיפש פשט of המלך refers to Achashverosh. The עיין טוב מידה של חנון – Mordechai, opposed by the Evil Eye of המן, these opposing “enemies” – express the Torah commandment to war against Amalek as an eternal commandment. This Torah middah dedication of חנון by way of עיין טוב vs. עיין רע – succinctly defines the opposing tuma Yatzir spirit – within the bnai brit hearts.
Therefore the word המלך understood as a wisdom commandment which understands (possesses the skill required to discern like from like) the tohor spirit middah of חנון – עיין טוב juxtaposed to צר עיין tuma middah spirit of לשון הרע. Herein defines the time-oriented mitzva of Purim דאורייתא which sanctifies the spirit tohor middah of חנון as the k’vanna of המלך and abhors the tuma direction of המן likewise within our hearts.
Who stands as the “hidden sage”? The Rabbi Shimon Kayyara\\B’HaG, author of Halachot Gedolot instructs a radical chiddush understanding — that the תרי”ג mitzvot inclusive of rabbinic commandments, when a scholar affixes Prophetic mussar defined tohor middot as the k’vanna of halachot – this elevates Talmudic mitzvot unto Av tohor Torah commandments. In this specific case the 5th Oral Torah middah of חנון interpreted to mean: עיין טוב.
The common denominator of the B’HaG chiddush: making an aliya of positive commandments which lack k’vanna to wisdom commandments which absolutely require the dedication of tohor middot spirits from within the Yatzir Tov heart. The Sefer Ha’Mitzvot of the Rambam/המן reads the Torah through a צר עיין טיפש פשט – comparable to how Xtian literalists fervently believe the World created in 6 days. The Rambam derided the B’HaG mitzva of tefillah as דאורייתא yet his 5th positive commandment rules Shemone Esrei a mitzva from the Torah. The opening Mishna/Gemara of ברכות instructs that קריא שמע הוא תפילה דאורייתא. The Rambam has no shame.
For instance, a rabbinic halacha like mishloach manot on Purim becomes elevated when its kavanah as a wisdom commandment sanctifies the tohor middah חנון עיין טוב. Just as korbanot a wisdom commandment so too tefillah a wisdom commandment. Just as korbanot requires שם ומלכות in order to swear a Torah oath so too tefillah requires שם ומלכות to swear a Torah oath. תרי”ג מצוות לאו דוקא. A korban without k’vaana no different than Cain’s korban. K’vaana – the wisdom of sanctifying tohor Oral Torah middot which Moshe Rabbeinu heard at Horev. The wisdom of Talmud study of entact sugyot begins with an עיין טוב which discerns the middot D’rabbanon sequence as akin to a morse code concealed communication – similar to the wisdom to read a Sefer Torah which has no sans trop (cantillation) indicators.
Rabbi Gamliel attributed with the Order of :ברכת המזון – עיין ברכות מח. This blessing – instituted by Rabban Gamliel and the sages of Yavneh following the Bar Kochba revolt’s aftermath, specifically commemorating the miracle where the bodies of the martyrs of ביתר did not decompose despite years of exposure, allowing proper burial. The forth blessing דרבנן if a wisdom commandment which dedicates a tohor middah Oral Torah spirit לשמה, another example that mitzvot דרבנן can become mitzvot דאורייתא. Rabbinic middot stand on the foundation of Oral Torah middot. They elevate reading books to the study of logical middot organization as the means to communicate “Oral Torah”.
No Statute Dogma Belief System changes the status of a Goy to that of a Jew. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion reveal the corruption of Goyim who promote counterfeit ‘belief systems’/slander as gospel.
Who is a Jew, halacha requires a Jewish mother or ger tzeddik. Who is not a Jew? Neither Xtians nor Muslims nor Hindus nor Japanese nor Koreans etc are Jewish. The framers of the Talmud wrote a “model” for Jewish courts within the borders the oath sworn land of the Jewish people. Torah defines faith, based upon the 1st commandment as the righteous pursuit of justice.
G’lut Jews during the horrors of the Dark Ages desperately required a simple fix to maintain their cultural identity. Hence Jewish scholars made the Talmud into a simplified religious code, different from Catholic dogmatism but achieving the same purpose. Catholics stand distinctly apart from Protestants. Just as Mormons unique from the other two Xtian faiths. No different than Jews during the Middle Ages who converted Talmudic court room legal models unto religions belief systems amount only to foreign statute law.
Such “Ger Toshav” codes have no equality with T’NaCH and Talmudic mandated judicial common law courts. למשל – a “Ger Toshav” no more Jewish, any more than a camel kosher but a pig treif. The false prophet Muhammed cannot make a silk purse from a camel milk; Napoleon has no power to convene a Sanhedrin court in France.
Sanhedrin courts only exist during times of Jewish Independence, no different than the Yovel. No Yovel prevailed throughout the entire period of the second temple. In like manner the Sanhedrin courts during foreign rule, despite their physical shadow/form existence did not have the נמשל/substance to actually exist; akin to a dead body which lacks a living soul. King Shlomo built a Temple but never established Federal Sanhedrin common law courts. Therefore, Shlomo’s construction of his copy-cat Cathedral/Temple, a treif precedent which fails to grasp the mitzva of Moshiach; on par with the Koran calling camel halal.
The Mesechta Chullin tells an aggada of a bird whose kashrut status esteemed in doubt; akin to the Shomronim, Tzeddukim, Karaim etc, who “converted” from fear of lions or some other inquisition torture. The Talmud refers to such doubtful Jews as Canaanim, based upon the Torah precedent which separates ger toshav Goyim from na’creeim/Shomronim who declare themselves as the real inheritors to the Torah chosen Cohen people. Substitute theology, like defines the Pauline grafted opinion.
The Talmudic term “Canaani” has nothing to do with the extinct Canaanites. The Book of Ezra clearly separated the Shomronim/Canaani from the Jewish people who returned from the g’lut of Bavil. Post sealing of the Shas Reshon opinion which equates 7 mitzvot (Gemara language) “bnai noach” as applicable to all Goyim in all lands, equal to saying the (Gemara language) “Canaani” refers to the extinct Canaanits.
The Torah in the Book of D’varim identifies two types of Goyim living in the land of Canaan: Ger Toshav and Na’Creeim. The Talmudic 7 mitzvot affixes to the ger toshav, permitting them the right to sue a Jew for damages in a court of law. Whereas NaCree refers to the Canaani in the Mishna of Baba Kama; stateless refugees enjoy no legal rights any more than wet-back illegals protected by the American Bill of Rights. Only Israel accepts the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Canaani do not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
The famous post sealing of the Shas Bavli Reshon opinion who declares gere toshav expansive to Goyim living in all lands fails to grasp that the aggadic story of Noach instructs the mussar of g’lut. Furthermore his error likewise fails to make the former expansive to equally include Canaani inclusive of both Xtians and Muslims. Just as the first Sinai commandment excludes the Golden Calf, so too both Allah and Jesus profane the 2nd Sinai commandment.
This: Who is a Jew question, therefore only addresses doubtful cases not obvious cases; don’t need a dog to sniff drug with a pound of dope spread exposed upon an open table. Herein the נמשל of the aggadic story touching the doubtful kosher bird. In the modern Jewish State, 1948 Arabs awarded citizenship, despite being not Jewish. Whereas post ’67 Palestinians not recognized as citizens because they behave like the classic Shomronim/Canaani who substitute themselves as the ‘Real Jew’. All peoples who duplicate this duplicity throughout the Ages – not Jewish.
Talmud not a religious text. Middle Ages need for a simplified code no more “Oral Torah” than the gospels or Koran. As the Protocols of the Elders of Zion – historically documented forgeries used to promote antisemitism, and they do not reflect Jewish thought or halacha … neither does the NT nor Koran.
The Talmud a codification of 13 tohor middot as “codified” in the Torah and Naviim, 7,10,13 middot applicable to halacha while the 32 middot affixed to the far more complex aggada drosh precedents which search the T’NaCH for common law mussar precedents. This revelation of middot defines the revelation of Oral Torah פרדס inductive logic, akin to morse code communicates ideas through dots and dashes. Statute halachic codes do not stand on these middot “morris code” system which defines Talmudic common law inductive NOT deductive logic.
Moshe orally heard ה’ ה’ אל רחום וחנון וכו middot. The Hillel Akiva Yishmael and Yossi set of middot – dispersed in a morris code like sequence in each and every sugya of Gemara communicate a logic language akin to staw required to make brick under the tyrrany of Par’o. The Torah commanment: remember Egypt.
Just as Israel received the Torah in g’lut wilderness, to establish this Torah as the Constitution of the conquerred Canaan Republic which mandates Federal Sanhedrin lateral common law courts across all tribes of the Republic; today post ’48 and ’67 no different.
The first commandment understands the g’lut of Egypt as לאו דוקא. The blessing/curse Life\Death first and second commandments define the whole of the Torah revelation at Sinai. Jews in g’lut curse incapable to keep mitzvot לשמה. Just as g’lut Jews lack the power to establish Sanhedrin Capital Crime courts while living under foreign rule in the land. Hence during the entire Beit Shnee period the Yovel never kept דאורייתא. Israel received the revelation of the Torah at Sinai not Egypt. In similar vein the בראשית Divine Names אל שדי אלהים אל האל וכו validate HaShem in the Heavens whereas the revelation of the Torah at Sinai לא בשמים היא. The Mishkan/Shekinah a matter of the heart through the dedication of tohor middot to shape and mature social behavior with our people in order to pursue righteous justice as our brit faith within the sworn land inheritance. The Avot brit to the land of Canaan not inclusive of the lands of Esau לאו דוקא.
A ברכה day and night different than a תהלים שבח. To make a Torah blessing requires שם ומלכות. Blowing the shofar the model for שם, dedication of tohor middot the model for מלכות. To swear a brit learns from ברית אש. The fire of the brit – Torah oaths with dedicate/korban\ Torah middot לשמה.
Shem = shofar model … how? The רוח הקודש שם השם not a Golden Calf word translation substitute. Hence Abba Shaul taught that a person who pronounces the Name according to the grammer of its letters has no portion in the world to come. False oaths the cause of the floods in the days of Noach. נמשל the Ark instructs the din of g’lut just as the expulsion of Adam from the garden and Israel in Egypt etc. Bottom line: if Jews cannot solve the “riddle” and discern the k’vanna of אל מן רחום מן חנון וכו then Jews cannot but only follow the Yatzir Ha’Ra within their hearts.
The הבדלה between air blown from the lungs and Yatzir Ha-Tov tohor spirits from the heart as different than מלאכה from עבודה. Religious Jews fail to grasp that the Torah commands not to do מלאכה on the day of Shabbat in order to dedicate doing מלאכה on the 6 Days of shabbat. Shabbat not simply one day but every day of the week. Mussar development requires growing the k’vaana of torah rebukes within one’s heart making these ideas original chiddushim rather than in one ear and out the other.
מלאכה means time-oriented wisdom commandments which require k’vanna -prophetic mussar. עבודה means precedent toldot commandments which do not require k’vanna but when learned as Tora precedent in order to define the k’vanna of a tohor midda then this משנה תורה common law raises both Torah toldot commandments together with Talmudic halachot unto Av tohor wisdom time-oriented commandments דאורייתא. Herein explains how the B’HaG learns.
Time only a משל, its the נמשל of Torah wisdom upon this axis alone does the “top” spin. מלאכה affixed to tohor middot. Hence the Talmud “morris code” employs rabbinic middot to interpret דאורייתא middot k’vanna by arranging them in a unique sequence of middot, no different than does morris code.
Why I love Bibi as Prime Minister.
Bibi first entered the stage of Israeli theatrics during the Shamir government. He served as the spokes person for the Israeli government during the 1st grass-roots Intifada revolt which exploded inside Israeli Samaria following PM Begin’s invasion of Lebanon to expel Arafat’s PLO from that country in an attempt to restore the shattered balance of power in Lebanon obliterated after the ‘Black September’ expulsion of the PLO from Jordan in 1970. And under the Sharon government Bibi revolutionized the Israeli economy away from Ben Gurion’s socialist policies. This makes Bibi a true successor of M. Begin.
A bit of Lebanese history: post WWI France received as its spoils of war of the dismembered Ottoman Empire’s ‘Greater Syria’ portion – which included the territories of both Lebanon and Syria; while Britain digested the League of Nations division of spoils known as the “Palestine Mandated territories” which based itself primarily upon the 1917 Balfour Declaration. The League of Nations division of Lebanon and Syria ‘Greater Syria’ based itself upon the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 –which secretly delineated British and French spheres of influence in the Middle East. President Woodrow Wilson publicly opposed secret treaties and advocated for self-determination, which conflicted with the arrangements laid out in the Sykes-Picot Agreement. Tend to agree with both London’s and Paris’s disdain for Wilson.
Democratic Senator Huey P. Long from Louisiana did indeed oppose the Senate’s confirmation of the treaty for the United States to join the League of Nations. He expressed concerns that the League could entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts and undermine national sovereignty. His opposition was emblematic of a wider resistance among various senators, reflecting apprehensions about international commitments that could lead to involvement in overseas conflicts contrary to American interests. Hence I particularly support Trump’s Gaza Peace Board which excludes the UN Britain France and Russia ‘Quartet’, whose post Six Day War imperialism has so dominated the Middle East balance of power. Both IKE and Stalen reduced the ‘Great Power’ status of London and Paris following their attempt to seize the Suez Canal from Nassers’ Egypt.
Hence “neutral Paris and London” prior to the 6 day war jumped at the chance to write the UN SC Resolution 242, because it restored their ‘Great Power’ status/domination of the Balance of Power across the Middle East by framing “Land for Peace” Two-State Solution. This disgusting imperialism treated Israel as if it had never won its National Independence not in 1948 nor again in 1967. Both Wars Arab leaders swore they would throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah. 242 framed the Arab/Israeli War simply as a land dispute. It ignored pre-State UN GA Resolution 181, (Introduced by an enraged Britain following the Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on July 22, 1946.), on November 29, 1947. All recently Independent Arab countries from British and French colonialism opposed UN GA 181. Egypt effectively secured Independence from British control in 1922. Both Iraq and Kuwait – administered by Britain but managed separately from the territories of the Palestine Mandate. Iraq gained Independence in 1932. Britain aimed to secure its influence in the Persian Gulf, especially in light of the oil resources discovered in the region. Controlling Kuwait allowed Britain to maintain supremely strategic naval routes, which were essential for its empire and trade networks.
I moved to Israel prior to the outbreak of the first Gulf War, where Saddam – the former Client State of the US during the Iran/Iraq War – sought to restore Kuwait as part of its original territory. British Great Power imperialism loved the ‘two state solution’. It employed this divide and conquer policy in the division of India from Pakistan. Similarities between Truman’s “Containment Policy” and Britain’s “divide and conquer” strategy in terms of maintaining influence and balance of power. The British did indeed promote tensions in the Arab-Jewish conflict over Palestine and likewise maintained influence by separating Kuwait from Iraq, whose imperialism President Bush both 1 and 2 supported. Post-WWII, the U.S. supported the United Nations Partition Plan (UN Resolution 181) for a two-state solution in Palestine. And promoted the political rhetoric that reflected a strange mutant strategic interest, in its vision of how best to foster stability, and establishing Israel as a democratic ally in the region, rather than solely employing the classic “divide and conquer” to dominate the balance of power.
The U.S. support for resolutions like UN 242 and UN 338, which aimed to address the Arab-Israeli conflict, (compare & contrast – alongside the leadership positions established through President Trump’s Abraham Accords – exposes and reveals a complex evolution in U.S. foreign policy rather than a slavish Bush 1 & 2 slavish ‘Cat N’ the Hat’ adherence to earlier British models like UN 181. UN Resolution 242 called for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied during the conflict. LBJ tied down in Vietnam, permitted British and French to write this divide and conquer Resolution which sharply contrasts with the Ike/Stalin expulsion of London as a Great Power in the Middle East after 1956. Both London and France frantically have attempted to promote revisionist history and shove the released “Jewish genie” back into its pre-Shoah g’lut refugee status.
Ben Gurion regarded British policies, particularly the 2nd White Paper, as a significant factor that not only betrayed the Jewish community’s aspirations but also undermined their safety during a critical period. He emphasized that this betrayal fostered deep distrust of British intentions in the region. He criticized how various European governments failed to oppose Nazi policies or intervene effectively, thereby enabling the horrors of the Shoah.
