I guess when you have been a victim for 3.500 years, getting used to be a powerful country, is not easy.
For so long, have we been at the mercy of the powers we stood under.
Not anymore, we have an army unrivaled in the world, our sway over the economic sphere is extremely strong.
We are not a victim anymore. We are a power to be truly recognized by the world.
It makes sense, coming from under the dark shadow of the Holocaust.
But it does change our true status in the world. From victims to a powerful nation.
However the mindset change that will eventually come with this new situation is hard. We still see ourselves as victims, but we are not victims, when we are able to wield massive armies.
Luckily we have some basic lore and experience from the last time we held Israel, preserved through time to reach us now. The ancient prophecy is, that we should be “The light upon the nations”. This is a tactic that the ancient kings of Israel used to make Israel sustainable. Sharing knowledge and helping our neighbors. We had a good relationship to Lebanon. The Phoenicians helped us build the temple.
They shared a lot of their wisdom with us as well. The Phoenicians made the alphabet, were the first traders, and a lot of other things.
To get back in that track, being a good neighbor, is very difficult. Because we have to change our mindset. But it is something we need to do. We have help from the ancient Israelites. But we need to discuss and reflect on the ancient paradigms and ideas, to use it today.
Off cause we need to defend ourselves. But we also need to be a responsible world power. That is what we are. When you have the fourth most powerful army in the world, you are not weak, you are a power to be reckoned with.
G-d bless the will for Israel to survive and evolve along the lines of the first Israel. Being “The light upon the nations”. May we prevail.
Concerning the understanding of the Israeli/Gaza war. One needs to understand this in an ethical perspective. Why? Because the aim of israel, Israel is supposed to be the light upon the Nations. Which essentially means an ideal.
So, how can we understand this idea about being the “light upon the nations”?
We should see it as a constructive as well as ethical question.
How is the structure of Israel, and how do we fare in terms of ethics.
Already Israel IS and ideal society. The democratic structure is impressive. New parties are easy to make, the law giving system really works. It’s blind to race or ethnicity. If you are an Arab citizen, you receive the same rights as anyone.
The educational system is top notch. And the social system is very good. Medical facilities are best in the world and the military is far more powerful than one would expect from such a small nation.
The religious community is extremely positive, caring for the poor and philosophizing about the ethics of the world. All fine.
Then how come we are not the ideal society for many people around the world?
Because of the ethics of the actions of Israel.
Let me explain. There is an economy to a conflict. If one does a certain evil or destructive action to someone. That other part earns points in the conflict.
Why is Israel without any sympathy in the way world. It is because the points earned after the 7th October is spent and WE are the bully.
That is the effect of keeping up the war.
We loose sympathy.
G-d bless the will to be realistic and honest in understanding of how the mechanics of the world really work. G-d bless the future of Israel.
Ok, finally we see some movement on the ground. “The civilian angle”, that seems to be the focus for now in Gaza is, essentially, a support of the peace movement in Gaza.
This is real development. If we pursue this strategy, the civilians may just be a partner we can actually work with.
But, and this is VERY important. We need to respect the forces in Gaza that wants peace. This essentially means giving them peace as well.
G-d bless the will to find Peace in Gaza, may Israel survive this war.
Well this is the situation, seen from an Israeli perspective.
Israel is isolated in terms of allies. The US is still holding on, but the trajectory is pretty clear.
As the US is trying its best to make peace and Israel continues trying to wage more war, the interest of either country is heading in each others opposite direction. Spool that ahead half a year, and the alliance is broken.
It comes down to the ethical choices of Israel. In the Torah, the story to look for is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. The twin cities that went under in a fiery abyss.
The citizens of the city states kept rejecting Lot and even rejected the angels.
As a consequence, G-d torched the cities.
I am Lot and Israel is Sodom and Gomorrah. As I am rejected, over and over. Essentially the angels are rejected, and therefor g-d concludes that Israel is not worthy to live.
Spurn the Messiah, and what is the point of Israel anyway?
I am not saying this to get my way, I can survive. Lot survived. But as a fair warning to Israel.
If you continue to reject the leadership of Hashem, Hashem will abandon you. It’s as simple as that.
G-d bless the will to make the Jews see the path forward and avoid destruction.
Peace is hard to make. War is often the most opportune.
Our peace efforts have seen a lot of back and forth. On the good side, the Sunnis are actually really engaged, and are working on the prosperity of all Sunnis.
This tied to American lead innovation is actually a very big thing. Something we will see the effect of in generations to come. Spirit makes its mark on the Sunnis.
But, in Iran, Israel and Ukraine/Russia peace is still not making any progress.
It comes down to the interests of the different players.
Iran wants to further its reach, Russia wants to solidify its hold of Donbass and Luhansk, Israel wants to weaken its enemies even more.
All interests.
What do we do in this situation. We make new strategies.
I have to think about how we may do some new strategic thinking in relation to the different conflicts.
Now also between India and Pakistan.
G-d bless the peace we CAN find. May the human race be at peace.
Dear King Frederik the X, happy birthday.
A birthday is one of those days, where family and friends gather to celebrate.
I know, that apart from my second book, that I did with the crown Marshall, my relationship to the house of Lyksborg has been mostly through inspiration.
However, I have ALWAYS had the most real respect for the Danish kingly institution. It is a potential relief of the negative sides of democracy. As democracy is drawn to the darker side, royalty is there to keep up the ethics. Protect the people, be it by inspiration or example.
In this way the balance between royalty and democracy lives in a positive and constructive relationship.
This tradition is upheld by the Danish royal tradition, often by fine and discreet communication and always with an impeccable style.
I see the impressive new things on the agenda with the new kingship. Climate change and interest in finding a new path.
This is very impressive and makes the institution relevant also in these days.
G-d bless the long life of the Danish house of Lyksborg. May it prevail.
In a way, we are living in this reality where the advent of the Messiah IS a possibility. I know, that it may sound otherworldly and the angels are quite clear, that the probability is very little, that I may be that person.
Though I have made peace all over the world except in Israel, the fact that Israel does not want to find peace, but continues down the path of war, makes it impossible for the crowning of the Messiah.
Then one may ask oneself, how is it, that the rest of the world opts for peace. We have even had a the supreme luck, to have a pope that puts this as his main goal, together with unity. The most powerful man in the world, president Trumps calls for peace. The Sunnis are there as well, with an unforeseen force, almost inspired by the angels and spirit?
But the Jews, no, we want war.
Why is this so?
It comes down to the mechanics of the Jewish society, I think. Judaism is based on reflection and the ability to think for oneself. There is no one truth. There are always a range of truths.
How is the Jews supposed to agree on anything? Not to mention that a single person is the Messiah?
There will always be one Jew, who will disagree.
There are no believers in Judaism, there are a plethora of philosophers and deep thinkers. Who each see things from their own unique perspective.
That is good for the world. Because the world needs thinkers. However, when the conclusion is war and not peace, when the option for a king arrives. One may say that the reflection is troubled, at least.
G-d bless the will to find peace in world. May Israel prevail.
I don’t know what is happening with my connection to Israel. But as the fortunes of Israel is good or bad, my life automatically follows on.
I have this weird, deep and profound connection to the ups and downs of Israel.
So, I guess maybe the angels want to protect me and get another job than king of Israel, because the future of that project seems less and less probable.
But on a deep level, the connection is still there. If Israel goes down, it will be extremely difficult for me to avoid going down with Israel.
That is a scary place to be, when you have so little control of what is going on, and the things that are going on, just pulls Israel deeper down in the mud.
I hope that I survive the fall, it it comes. But I am extremely worried about it, to tell the truth.
As long as Israel is at war, peace in the rest of the world, has little true consequence for my own life.
G-d bless the will to finally find peace in Israel. And may we both survive.
Well, even though there is no real chance of realizing the prophetic dreams of Isaiah, I still try and support Israel.
What is the problem, from a Jewish perspective? It’s the fright of antisemitism.
I just did an interview with an antisemite here in Denmark. I have been a part of the criticism of the hard handedness of the current government, so I have had a lot of connections to other freedom fighters and so on.
In fact using my little tv station TV Freedom (TV Frihed) to give the rebels a platform to get their messages out on, was a great support.
But, as any underground movements there is a lot of flack. So there is a tendency to talk Jews into monsters, and blame the Jews for the coronavirus hardhandedness.
There is only one thing, I am a Jew, and I was a great support.
So, what to do? Well, through an interview, I know that I set the rumors in a more truthful perspective, thereby serving Jews in general and truth and so on. Humanity.
Because I earned their trust, through my moral standing. I sacrificed my little tv station (it was closed by the government, on some bogus charges), in the interest of truth and dialogue.
In other ways, being a light upon the Nation, sharing truth and honesty, supporting the rebels, bought me some credit, a credit I can use to show that Jews are not evil.
I truly believe, that this is a good template to use in the Middle East too. Be honest and try to be humane.
Peace can be reached through dialogue, based on true power of cause. But diplomacy and real interest in finding a solution is possible. We just have to be honest, and do our best.
G-d bless the will to be truthbringers and honest men and women.
Well, things are shaping up. The first 100 days are over, and we can focus on implementing the issues that has been kind of boiling. The fact that the Suidlanders are supported is a great boon to the cause.
I have had a lot of communication with them, and the atrocities that had been going on is horrendous.
It’s not about color, it’s about human dignity. Any kind of persecution is wrong.
So, at least from my perspective having been a long standing supporter of the Suidlanders, I REALLY thank you for the support Mr. President.
G-d bless the will to protect those in harms way, be it black or white.
There is something I need to relay. The angels speaks, often in the dreams. It is always right in some sense. Lately the angels have been less enthused with my role in the protection of Israel.
To be honest, they have told me to get on with my life, and try something else than the kingship of Israel.
So that is what I am doing.
I really don’t know what this entails for Israel. But at least from my perspective, i am kind of finished with the attempt at making a new temple.
In the current political environment, this will not happen and I have to plan accordingly.
This does not mean, that I will abandon Israel, it only means, that I will not be king.
Maybe, and hopefully someone else will come and do the job.
G-d bless the will to be honest in action and word.
You know, Elon and I have been friends for many years. Back in the Obama years, the Twitter buying and now with the new Trump administration.
A new thing is, that Donald is a friend. Thanks again Donald for the current support. It’s really a life saver. The libtards are on my back, with a vengeance
This is, for me, deeper than just something that is convenient. For me, friendship is about the MEANING of the relationship. What is it that we DO together. When friendship is based on a shared mission, it gets real.
And then it also is more “brothers in arms”. Supporting each other in the flames of politics. Having each others six.
This makes a positive development, because we try our best to see what we can give instead of what is in it for us.
This again builds trust.
I think Elon formulates it beautifully. This is essentially about the survival of the western civilization.
We are all essentially Kennedy liberals in a sense. Space, peace but also the AMBITION. Kennedys ambition was so amazing. He wanted to go to the stars, and see a world without war. He was honest and dynamic.
That generation of liberals was healthy and ambitious.
Still I truly believe that what I have contributed to the liberal cause is also healthy. At least this has been my ambition. To make better more beautiful and advanced world.
We can do this, make political ambitions as Kennedy. Find our own frontiers and make them good.
Thanks friends for the support. You were a life saver in a dark patch of my life. I will try to pay back, being just as good a friend.
G-d bless the American dream, and may the United States of America find its best frontiers. May we prevail.
In the middle of this elation we have of religion finding its roots. Maybe we should take a step back, and see it for what it is.
I mean, I am frustrated, because Israel seems to be going 180 degrees the other way than me. It’s getting a little better, but still.
What is it that we are witnessing.
As I see it, we are seeing a basic shift from Schopenhauer/Nietzcshe to a Trier orientation towards g-d, where Schopenhauer killed G-d, and Nietzsche formulated the destruction, I have given g-d a rebirth.
You can see it in all three monotheistic religions. The faith, the realization, the sheer power that is surging through all three religions will realize a rebirth.
Just have a look at the Catholic Church, its gong ho, has a true holy believer as its head. The same is in the Anglican Church, the potential is there to be unleashed.
In Islam. Here we also see the foundation being laid, and the sheer will to be a part of a renaissance within religion.
Even Judaism is itching.
We are witnessing a comeback for religion.
Imagine that.
That is a very huge and potentially world changing event.
It comes down to German/Danish philosophical tradition.
We Danes have always been the true believers in this tradition, paramount among the thinkers is Kierkegaard.
So it is really no wonder, that it is be the DANISH tradition that the shift has come.
But if we take a step back, we can see the momentous development.
Add to this my mixed heritage, having a Muslim father and Jewish mother. Things are equally as transcending as things can be.
Me, why is it, that I am not satisfied with this?
It’s because we have to make an Israel that is working and will not disappear.
Israel needs to survive.
G-d bless the will to make Israel survive.
Listen Hamza, your eminence of the UAE.
You are ambitious. That is all well and good. Making a sustainable future for the UAE is a necessary goal.
However industrialization has its caveats as well. Among them pollution and a very mechanical world.
Looking back to your grandfather and his vision of a blooming desert. This is so important too.
Making the desert bloom.
My point is, you have to find a way to keep yourself into the loop. Don’t forget your own qualities.
Industrialization is the key to power, yet it can have a destructive impact as well.
In other words it’s a very delicate balance. Still dreaming about a green desert, lush and abundant, while as the industrial might of the kingdom is enhanced.
And just for the record. We are still best friends 👍😊
G-d bless the will to make a beautiful UAE based on the dreams of the old sheik, yet pulled into the 21 century. May the Arab world grow and be strong. May we prevail.
Elon, you are really getting a kind of comeback after the initial barrage of media attacks after you started with Donald.
Listen, politics is a bloodsport without rules. There are supposed to be no friends in politics.
So everybody is fighting dirty. That is just how it is.
You have to be prepared for this. It’s a horrible game. You do get to do good, but at the end of the day, it’s a brawl.
Having your own visions is beautiful, yet it doesn’t change the fact, that it’s a dog eat dog world. Right now you are taking a lot of privileges away from people who are not used to that.
It’s very necessary, and it’s good.
But listen. Use your visionary thought WITHIN politics. Instead of just destroying all corruption, make a JUST world. Start dreaming with Americans. Make that perfect system, without any corruption and so on. JUST! Barack and I worked a lot on that; the American dream, the soul of the people. The perfect system.
Dream with the Americans, that is their soft spot.
And by the way, well done man. This has been hard, but you have done really well 👍😊
G-d bless the will to make people dream again. May America be strong and wise.
The new pope is just brilliant. Intelligent, serving and a good guy.
Here is an advice I have noticed working with young people.
Young people are on fire, they are idealistic.
If you want to make them go to church, give them a show, a fire starter. Someone whom they can relate to.
Use their platforms. Support a ministry of tic toc, YouTube and instagram. Show them the love of the almighty.
And most important of all, give them philosophy. Today young people are deprived of deep thought and profound thinking. Something the church is good at.
Give them reflection and understanding of the world. Give them health and insight.
Make them believe.
G-d bless the will to make a better world. May our youth find peace.
Well, let’s have a look at the current trajectory of the Israeli political priorities.
First of all, fast forward the current development two years, and Israel will be so isolated and outgunned, that just one small provocation will set up a Middle East wide attack on Israel, and that is that. No more Israel.
I mean, you do not have to be a prophet to figure that out.
Me, I can’t do much about it. I will be leading the rest of the Middle East in terms of political development. But I just can’t hinder the attack. And honestly, if Israel keeps attacking Gaza in the hopes, that the current strategy, that has not worked the last one and a half year will miraculously work, wouldn’t it be deserved?
If you are at the bottom of a hole, stop digging, the proverb goes. Israel just keeps digging and digging and digging.
I don’t know, I can’t really do anything about it. It seems to me, that the current leadership is hell bent on digging and digging and digging.
Anyway, it’s of not as if I haven’t tried, but one day you just stop giving advise that is not heard anyway and give it to someone who hears it.
G-d bless the will to save Israel. May it survive.
All right, let’s see if we can figure out what is going on strategically in the Middle East.
Since Mr. Trump is using me as an inspiration, it makes sense to understand my arguments and chain of thoughts.
First of all, I have worked, since Obama, on peace in the Middle East. In the beginning it was mainly because I thought it would help Israel. But as time has gone by, it has become a goal in itself. I have become truly engaged in Syria, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the other Arab nations. I have also tried to understand and support peace with the Shia.
The thinking was, from the beginning, that if Hamas is a proxy, making peace with those they are proxies for, makes sense.
We would have peace now, if we had wanted. But due to the internal fighting between bureaucracy and legislative power, the leadership of Israel is tied down.
It’s very easy just to point at the PM and say he is the bad guy. But I mean, the constant barrage from the bureaucracy is the REAL bad guy. Give the man some space, to clear his head.
His is fighting a two front war. And he is sick, give him some space.
We disagree on Iran, but Netanyahu is a patriot and a good one of those. Give him some space. Trying to pull him down by the judicial system is a crime. In a middle of war!
So the true problem, is, seen from my perspective, the illegal actions by the judges.
You may not like him, but he needs to have some space.
G-d bless the will to make Israel safe.
All right. Let’s have a look at the strategy of the IDF in relation to Gaza.
There is a story in the Bible, the describes the fighting methods of us Jews. It’s a story about David and Goliath.
We, the Jews, fight best when we fight like David. The underdog position forces us to use our inventiveness and creativity and our superior skill.
Hitting the head far away with a sling, is almost impossible. Yet David did it.
This has been my go to understanding of how we are supposed to fight. Preserving ammunition, fighting smartly instead of with brute force.
That is the basic idea behind the Trump plan, that seems to have resurfaced.
Taking away the terrain advantage Hamas has.
Without firing one shot, we can win the war.
David strategy.
Somehow someone in the military seems to believe that the Goliath method is the way forward.
I mean, maybe, but aren’t we supposed to fight like David?
G-d bless the will to use our skills, creativity and precision.
You know Mohammad bin Salman, your eminence.
That was some pretty slick moves. The whole Sunni alliance is really consolidating into a unity, focused on peace and prosperity. And they like it.
Your leadership is taking shape and it’s really a success.
To move the Sunnis in a peaceful direction, and to work on a higher production capacity is good.
In China, they single-handedly made the prosperity of China by making things.
They created free trade zones, effectively zones where the usual tight control was relaxed and the industrious Chinese could work their heads off.
This is a way to release the capability of the culture.
Finding a way to make things in Saudi Arabia and in the Sunni Muslim countries is the central challenge. How will the Arab world compete in terms of production. Peace is a requirement, but education, work ethics and innovation is also really important.
Hopefully Israel will end up in a more conducive relation to our neighbors, so that the Israeli entrepreneurship can be a forceful engine for the region.
Untill that, attracting business and production is the way to enhance Arab might.
G-d bless the will to further enhance the will of the Arabs and make the desert bloom.
I think you are really on the right track again Donald. Huge investment in the US, lots of jobs, so on so forth. You are beginning to pay back to the voters.
This is getting much better, peace, prosperity. Also the fact that American military is not expending its power is good. It needs to be a big stick, we walk with.
Still, there is the Iran deal. I wish it can be made, we will see.
But if it can, then it will have a profound effect in the Ukraine crisis as well.
We will have made peace and given the US a huge boost in a short time.
G-d bless the will to make America perfect and beautiful. May we prevail. And, success begets success. It buys you political capital and room for implementing your priorities.
All right, I have spend the night conversing with the angels. To try and find a solution to our current predicament.
It ended up being ME being the problem.
Let me try to explain. For the last year more or less, I have been dating the crown princess of Spain.
She is Christian and not the most ideal, seen from a Jewish perspective. And as time has gone by, and the scandals have been mounting, less and less so.
That is the problem, seen from the angle of Jewish royalty.
I need to marry a Jewish girl. Preferably someone who qualifies as a queen.
That has been the problem all along.
So, although I truly love the crown princess of Spain. I need to change course. The danger Israel is in, is just too great.
I will never have the true ability to get to Israel, unless I marry into a Jewish family.
I also used to date a Jewish aristocrat, it didn’t work. If it had, things would have been much different.
Anyway. That is obviously my fault. We need to find a Jewish girl for me.
G-d bless the will to make Israel survive.
We are in trouble to over our necks.
We can beat around the bush, or we can be honest to ourselves. We have NO allies left. The only reason we are not attacked is because Trump still holds his hand over us. Yet, we can’t rely on that.
Trump is my best friend internationally. I like him, and personally we have each others backs, like for real.
Yet, that is a PERSONAL thing. It doesn’t necessarily include Israel. And Trump is moving AWAY from Israel.
If that happens we cannot, realistically, defend ourselves against the massive amount of enemies around us.
We have alienated everyone around us.
We have no friends left. Read it again. We have no friends left.
The tactical situation is not working either. Not a single hostage is brought back. Eden Alexander was brought back due to the alliance of the Arab states, that Mr. Trump has just done an admirable job at supporting.
Again diplomacy.
You need to follow my lead, whether you like it or not.
That is the bottom line. I know with all my talk about the temple and all that, that it makes people doubt my intentions. But right now, I think we should just forget all about that, and focus on making the next month a month of survival.
We are trouble over our heads, and we need to focus on getting out of this trouble, alive.
G-d bless the will to survive as a country. We need to use ALL heads and get smart about this war. It’s not about who gets to be the king, it’s about mere survival.
Well there is another point about being “clean”, that is being ethically clean. Doing good deeds and so on.
It brings you closer to G-d and his angels. And this again makes it much more probable to make g-d do miracles in your life.
At least that is my experience. Miracles are g-dly invention in and around you.
The cleaner you are, the more probable the miracles will become.
It goes through prayer and other ways to reach the angels.
This movement can be extremely potent. The closer you get g-d, the more power you get. Powers like prophetic powers, healing powers and so on.
In other words, it’s not some obligation you have to do. It’s a path of spiritual growth.
G-d bless the will of the angels to do good in this world.
My feeling is, we are getting there Donald. The focus on getting the things working is the right priority right now. It works. People can see, that we are getting results.
I am so sorry about Israel. I really want to support Israel. But I understand. Israel is doing its own game, and is not really interested in peace, like everyone else.
I just hope, that this does not end up in a catastrophe.
However. Seeing that the Sunni alliance is merging and is really on the path of positive development is really good. This is a beginning of something really amazing.
The investment in the US, and the other way around can be a huge driver for production and thereby money to make jobs and prosperity. Ultimately make the swords into plows.
G-d bless the will of g-d to make a better world for all of humanity.
Seriously, we have a massive problem here.
I lead most of the world to peace. But since Israel doesn’t want to be lead by me, Israel gets isolated.
I am sorry, I have used the last two years to try and make peace, and I have been close so many times.
Getting the hostages back and so on. I have begged the Jews to come and make me able to at least just LOOK at the temple building.
No answer. Just more war, perpetual fighting and so on.
This is really dangerous. If this continues, I have effectively isolated Israel.
But truly, from the bottom of my heart, I just want to fix the war.
Please, just do something rational and wise. Stop the war.
I am getting the opposite effect of what I have intended, to keep Israel safe.
Because the Israelis insist on doing the direct opposite of what I think is a good idea.
I can’t change that.
Omg. This is a huge problem.
G-d bless the will to finally find peace in the Middle East.
Well, it seems to me, that my ideas are kind of manifesting in the Middle East. In the meeting in Saudi Arabia, the Trump administration is forging alliances with the Sunnis, to stop the war in Gaza/Israel. The solution is the two state solution, that I have supported, due to the fact, that that is what the Sunnis want. With a little finagling, it can work for Israel as well.
I know, that the Oslo peace accords were less good for Israel, it essentially just made the war worse.
Yet, with a true, peaceful backing of Gaza by the collective Sunni world, the IDEOLOGICAL foundation is in place. Add to this a peace treaty with Iran, and we are there. The Middle East can finally evolve and realize its amazing potential. We are talking about the cradle of civilization; Hammurabi, Zoroaster, Nebuchadnezzar, Akhenaten, Sneferu.
With peace the potential is there.
It comes down to making a state, that will ensure peace, stability and friendship.
Israel is going in the opposite direction. Yet it is pretty unsustainable in the long run.
We can’t go against the entire world.
So, prepare to build the temple. It is now. World peace is getting closer by the day.
If not physically, though I doubt we can hinder the physical construction of the temple, with the powerful push by the angels, at least in principle. What are the PRINCIPLES of the temple and the advent of the Mosiach.
G-d bless the will to find peace, may we finally build the temple.
It’s Pesach Sheni, according to the Jewish faith. What is Pesach Sheni? For those who are not really into the lore of Judaism. It is the reflection and appreciation of the flight from Egypt, led by Moses.
Pesach Sheni is a day that people who are “unclean” can attend to, because they were unable to attend the real Pesach three weeks ago. It’s an extra Pesach day.
So the real question here is, as I see it. What is it to be “unclean”, and why is it important. There are numerous things that make you unclean. Being “Kosher” is essentially being clean. Eating the right food, following certain rules and so on.
But, there is a deeper reason. It’s important because Israel is supposed to be “The righteous nation among nations”. Hereby underscoring a moral demand. Righteousness is discussed in many ways, both in Greek literature and in the Talmud.
It’s the core virtue of the king.
Anyway. The question is; is there a link between the moral demands stated in the demand as to be righteous, and the demand to be clean?
The thing is, yes of course. Being clean is, apart from all the kosher rules, most of them actually applying to the temple, ALSO to live a righteous life. At least this my personal experience.
Being clean is to be a good man, essentially.
Being honest, a light-bringer, a person of high personal integrity.
Why is this important?
Because that is what g-d is. He is goodness and grace and all these amazing things. So is his angels. They just give, never asking anything back.
Accepting your faults as is, and still just supporting and helping. They never judge.
The point is, if you want the support of these amazing celestial beings. Who do think they PREFER to help. The lying, cheating scoundrel or the good man, who helps.
Off course they prefer helping those who look like themselves. Miracles, that are the effect of celestial support, is given to those who behave most like the angels themselves.
But it’s again not so simple. Even bad men and women can be supported. Because the angels are good.
That is the real point behind the Pesach Sheni. The acceptance of those who are ALSO sinners and yet want to be close to g-d and his angels.
G-d bless the will to be a good man or woman. May g-d win in the end.
It’s kind of amazing how the new Pope is just a success. And welcome good pope, I really hope, that we can work together in a positive manner. 😊
The message of peace and unity is wholeheartedly accepted and implemented in the church. So amazing.
Also the character of his eminence Leo XIV; well read to the the extreme, and at the same time a man who smells like his sheep.
He is a true believer and and good man.
All the things I discussed up to the choosing had been implemented.
At the base of the choosing lies the fact, that the new pope is just a good and wise man. A man to unite the church and not divide.
As we used to say way back when; United we stand, divided we fall. It’s a truth that is even more prevalent now than ever.
Congratulations, what a win for the good guys 😊
G-d bless the will to make a better world, may g-d and his angels win against our foes.
It seems to be a success out of the gates. The thing that we got a good man in the chair Peter. It really works.
People look for ethics and moral guidance. They really get that in his eminence Leo XIV.
The moral voice is a strong one, and as they say. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Bringing peace and unity to the world is a beautiful token of faith.
G-d bless the will of his eminence Leo XIV. May he be a blessing upon the world.
It’s with an immense pride, that I see, that the main aim of the new pope is peace and unity. I reflects my own fight to try and make Israel peaceful and united.
It has not manifested in Israel, yet. However we are still hoping.
This however underscores the universal values of man. We strive for peace and for unity as mankind.
I know, that this seems elusive. But G-d wants it. Because that is how man is happy.
Welcome good pope, Leo XIV may your reign get us to those elusive values. With FIRE! As the African bishops say. We need to listen to them as well. To do exactly that, unite the church.
G-d bless the will to make a whole church united in the will of g-d. May we prevail.
Listen, the way I feel about Trump is; we need to be careful to support him too. Trump is not a friend we can just take for granted. He needs to win another election essentially. He has helped and helped and helped. Me personally, to an extreme extent. And I truly appreciate it.
He is a very good friend to have.
So in order to respect that friendship and be a good a good friend back. We need to see it from his perspective as well.
He needs to show some results to his voters.
We should help him with that.
The thing is, he promised peace. He is not a militarist person. He will wield the tax hammer. But real military action is just not him. He is a Kennedy liberal in that sense.
Trump is a man who wants to make a better world, and he wants to think out of the box.
Bring new solutions to old problems.
This is what Jews do, being innovative in all areas.
So in order to show appreciation of his friendship, we should give back, essentially.
The thing is, he is a man of peace. He promised peace and therefore dragging him into a huge war is not his priority. He will do it, because he is a good friend.
Yet, we need to think beyond our own immediate needs, and think about Trumps needs.
We have come pretty far with the Sunni peace work. Syria, Saudi Arabia, a whole alliance going on in the Sunni Muslim countries. It even reaches into Gaza.
That is a good thing. And with the new pope, this dynamic will be even more strongly supported.
We as Jews, should LEAD that endeavor. Make it happen. Show appreciation, help.
At least this is the most fortuitous plan.
But we are in a war, and we are fighters. So we have a difficult time to do it. Because we want to fight.
Yet, the rest of the world wants to go in the opposite direction, except for the Houties.
So, we should, at least to a degree, be a part of that endeavor. If we want to lead the world.
G-d bless the will to make peace in the world. May we prevail.
This is not going well. Trump is, effectively, pulling the US war machine out of the Middle East. We have a pope that is supporting my attempts at peace and dialogue.
That is very good for me, but the current trajectory that the Israeli leadership is pulling Israel is in direct opposition to the dialogue and peace efforts that we are working on.
Add to this, the Houthis have effectively shown the world, that they are pretty dug in.
This will end up in a strategic situation, where Israel will have no allies. That is the perfect storm scenario. If the US pulls out, and everyone around Israel is annoyed at Israel. The situation is dire indeed.
I told you so, and I even made a whole peace movement in Gaza.
That we are still fighting is only due to strategic short sightedness and it is extremely dangerous.
I told you, that we could not rest solely on American support. We need to be able to make our own allies in the Middle East and right now we have none.
That is not a sustainable situation.
G-d bless the will to keep Israel safe, and finally take the reality into consideration when doing strategy.
There are few moments in one’s life, when things are REALLY good. But this is one of them. To have a pope so close to my own interests and attitude is a blessing. This will be a good run.
However I really think, that we should be very careful to respect the conservative part of the church.
For me, perfect, for the Africans, they will be a bit perturbed.
So, there will be a man of g-d focused on good in the chair of Peter.
Congratulations dear Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV. May your reign be good and plentiful.
This is my experience with leadership. A good leader inspires, a bad leader controls.
The thing is, probably all leaders WANT to be inspirational, but to be an inspiration, you have to be VERY wise and ethical and REPRESENT the organization that you lead.
You have to be the best representative of a part of the organization. Pope Francis was the best representative of the liberal part of the church. So he was respected. Sometimes he was too much for some of the conservative parts of the church. But people generally saw, that he brought a positive renewal into the church with his focus on the poor. That was good.
He was a wise leader.
So that is how leadership really works. It works by the leader being so wise that the organization follows in his footsteps, because of his wisdom.
Find someone who is very wise and ethical. Who has lead by example and not by control.
G-d bless the will to find the very right pope. May the Catholic Church be bless with wisdom.
To truly understand monotheistic religion. I believe that you have to understand our opponent.
Our opponent has many names; the dark man, Satan, the lord of the flies, the father of lies.
Yet, do we really understand the dark lord? Do we not, sometimes, fight a little in the blinds?
One the things I have noticed, after having studied the dark man, is his esthetics. It’s always death. Skulls, graveyards, slimy things.
Also, having helped many people who are in the realm of darkness, I have seen abuse and tyranny. The criminal behavior that is prevalent in poor places.
You have to be courageous to go where the dark man reigns. Bringing light and truth and life.
Because as death is the realm of the dark man, life is our realm.
Where life thrives and blossoms. Where we are happy and are living a good life.
In this sense you CAN learn something of studying death. It gives you the understanding of your own quality in a sense.
Of cause just mirroring your opponent is dangerous. You become like them, just the opposite.
Yet, life is that not a good thing?
We see little villages where the people there are just happy and thriving.
Is that not the aim? Happy, careful children. Living a good life with little sorrow in their lives?
We have our realms also. Places of abundance and happiness. The borders are often where we content the dominion. And we should be honest to ourselves. This fight has been going on for eternity.
However, it also points to the fact that we have the best option. We are the winners. Having sound families and happiness is what we have.
These criminal underworlds that I still work with in my media work has its lure. The easy satisfaction of immediate needs. But in the long run, when we support a happy life where things are in balance. We are in the right situation.
Seeing life being abundant and thriving is what we do, what we support, what we fight for.
Life.
G-d bless the will to make a better world, where life and happiness is abundant. May we beat the dark lord.
Maybe I can contribute a little more onto the debate about who is to be pope.
At the of the day, what is most important is, to find a good man.
The church is a harbinger for good. Good can be many things, and it is dependent on the situation. But at the core of the understanding is, that good is life. It’s living and being satisfied and happy.
In that sense bad is death and destruction. Ruining your own life, or someone else’s life.
War in consequence is then bad.
Sometimes you need to fight and survive, defend yourself. But war is only the last resort.
Peace and the happiness that comes is peace is good.
G-d bless the will to make a better world and understand what good is. May we finally find peace.
I think, considering the British royal family, in general, honesty, loyalty and integrity is the way forward. “The stiff upper lip” is the mark of a strong will to be in line with ethics and royal competence.
The royal house is there to serve. However, there is also humanity. To see people as people. Each person is something unique and very valuable.
I think the late queen Elisabeth had that balance in herself. The humor and the elegance, combined with an iron will.
I really miss her, she was such a beautiful person. And she was a person of the people also. As young during the war, she fixed cars.
That balance of at the one hand the strength and integrity and at the other hand the humanity of rule is, and was, a hallmark of the late queen Elisabeth. We should learn from her, I think, and try to find that balance.
G-d bless the will to be strong in ethics and benign in humanity. May Great Britain prevail for another thousand years.
Donald, the process has been started really well. Peace, migration, economy. Now is time for a finagling with the different policies, so that will actually work.
Here are some reflections on that.
First of all; migration.
It is, according to Aristotle, that is the most prolific describer of democracy, the sole intention of the given polis (city state) what who and by how it will and should require new citizens.
That is the basic rule. Aristotle says, that it should get new citizens if the POLIS needs it.
In other words, for a state the needs of the STATE is what matters.
In this way you can turn the narrative around and focus on what the US needs.
Off cause you shouldn’t be unempathetic. But the polis of the US REALLY don’t need more criminals.
So law and order, is a priority.
Also, make it harder to get a citizenship. Be ABSOLUTELY sure, that new citizens respect the law, are in accordance with humanistic values and so on.
Secondly. The economy. It works like this. A country will produce things, sell it at a market and reap the reward. Free market theory, claims that in a free market, the distribution of goods will make it possible for all to win.
However, this rest on the presumption, that all countries play by the rule. Stealing know how, supporting industry by the state as China does. Dumping prices, taking over markets is pirate capitalism, not honest capitalism.
So we need to isolate those who do not play by the book. Tariffs is a tool, but be careful, free markets are, to an extent, a good thing.
War however is the outcome of rivalry, and it will come. It’s a matter of when not if. So the earlier we start it, the more we are ahead.
The Chinese are good at making drones, alleviating our lead in other areas. Why use a giant sub, when you can use submerged drones swarming?
In other words there is a technological paradigm shift going on. We need to keep the edge technologically. You need to focus on that. And the Chinese are using all available resources to try and get and edge, and they are geeks.
Then peace.
You have a string of allies. From Russia to the Houthis. It’s the communist alliance, essentially.
Israel or rather Netanyahu wants to fight Iran. This skewers the whole peace attempt.
Add to this the Houthis doesn’t seem to want peace either and you have a classic Vietnam war issue. Keeping the infantry out of the war is probably a good idea. Use the clandestine powers and add up with air superiority, and you will grind them down. Instead of using massive force, use your forces smart, precisely and deadly. Use surgical tools rather than the normal mass take over.
Iran is another deal, here we can easily use the normal tools in the box, if need be. It will more be an Iraq scenario.
But be careful, make sure your voters can see the wisdom in it, you don’t want to loose more support than you have already.
Your voters KNOW that China is a problem. It’s an old communist country and so on. It checks all the right boxes for them. But do they understand Iran?
Anyway, there is also the IDEOLOGICAL issue. Soldiers need to fight for a reason. Democracy is the reason, freeing people.
Anyway. Listen to your electorate. Before you commit to anything. You represent them.
They want to be proud of who they are, reduce crime and get a good job.
G-d bless the United States of America. May we prevail.
I think kind of the last aspect of significance I would like to add to the debate about the next pope, is the Platonic perspective.
Plato is science and faith in one. This elevated idea and practice in many ways takes the crass out of conservatism and leaves it with an allure of romance and beauty. The church is mostly that. The heavenly made structure. A new pope should be conservative, yet also light in a sense. A man of conviction and honesty. A man of wisdom and integrity.
A man of g-d in the sense that he will understand the complex layers of faith ultimately grounded in science.
A man of many and deep understandings.
G-d bless the will to make a pope that has both faith and eloquence. May we see a renewed church in the frame of this interesting new world.
Listen, what is the mission of the church? What is the mission of any monotheistic religion? It is to fight the darkness, to assist archangel Michael in his advent against the dark forces. It is to fight the Satan.
That is the mission. Everything else is essentially just methods to do that.
Satan is real, it’s a spiritual entity, that conspires, all the time, to bring down just anyone. Lies, deciet, moral corruption, abuse.
This is what the dark lord does. Being a good man, is to stand in the long line of servants to g-d to hinder this abuse and deprivation.
That is the mission. Sometimes it gets clouded in the day to day life.
But it’s real, and it rests where people have the littlest. Where crime and corruption is ripe.
THAT is why we go out and help those who have little. Because it’s a fight against the father of lies. This is the fuel and the mission of the Catholic Church. It has always been the mission. And lest us not forget.
G-d bless the will to stand at guard of those who are in harms way. May the church be strong and courageous in the face of the dark lord.
Concerning the debate about the new pope. Renewal is important. Faith, someone who believes in the gospel.
This will bring a renewal in the sense of conservatism. However, it’s the right choice. The church should not conform to modernity only. It should bring its own light.
G-d bless the will to keep the church alive and thriving. May Peter’s chair be occupied by someone who has faith.
Listen Donald. You have to be sharp on your priorities. You promised peace, a strengthened border control, a better economy and a fight against China.
This you have to pursue.
Of course, things may change along the way. Yet, to get popular with the electorate, you have to deliver on your promises.
They seem to dislike your pace in a way. I think you are moving too fast. Maybe taking a breather is a good idea.
Put your pieces on the board together. Sew the policies into a coherent whole.
The electorate chose you because you promised them a set of priorities.
Now the first 100 days are over. You don’t have to move so fast now, but support the results you have already made.
Just don’t rush into priorities that does not fit into what you promised the electorate.
Also. Your voters are conservative. Finding the buttons that they appreciate and press them, is a good thing.
Bible thumping, honest, proud patriots. Make them proud of their country. Show up with the star spangled banner behind you. Start talking about democracy and so on. Make them FEEL proud of the US.
Just be clear about where you are going.
G-d bless the will to make the US strong and beautiful.
Well I think that when you have hit a thousand targets and the enemy is not bowing, but still hangs on to the war. You need to change tactics.
This a reflection of the Vietnam war scenario, that has been repeated in Gaza and with Hezbollah. The enemy uses the terrain to filter out the weapons of the Western countries.
If you did a hole deep enough, then you can’t be found.
So if we continue as in Vietnam, it will be the same outcome. We should have learned our lesson by now.
However in Lebanon Mossad scored a victory with the clandestine forces. This is possible template to follow.
We have also used diplomacy in Iran and Gaza, this works as well.
However the Houthis are, more or less, acting independently.
Iran plays a hand, but as I understand it, the Houthis want to REPLACE Iran.
Anyway, if you have a problem you can’t fix with a tool, you need to find some other tool.
Just using MORE of the same tool will not alter the outcome.
G-d bless the will to find peace in the Middle East. May we prevail.
I have been promised so much the last two years. Essentially to help me, but also as a kind of political payment.
I have been so hard pressed, that I had to grasp at any straw available, and those I supported WANTED to help. But somehow it all just ended up with the promises. I wanted the Nobel peace prize, and I have deserved it. I was promised it, but it never came about. Support from the Arabs, the royal houses and so on.
Until Trump came along and started beating up Mette Frederiksen. That helped.
So, to my experience; Trump delivers.
Now I am beginning to get new promises.
And to be 100% honest. I will not take them seriously before they actually materialize.
Also, I am surviving now, I don’t really need these promises.
But if you want to give me things. I will off cause be happy to get them.
But it will still just influence my focus, and not the overall direction of my work.
I am really grateful for the help from Trump. That was REAL help. Not just promises.
So thank you Donald, that was a life saver, and I will definitely support you in your presidency as a token of true gratitude 🙏
G-d bless the will to be real; money talks.
Concerning the negotiations with Iran. The thing is, Iran is open for a negotiation. They prefer the JCPOA deal, that they liked and actually was a pretty good deal for them. Obama REALLY wanted it, so he gave some concessions.
Trump ditched it, and as a consequence, he can’t return to it. Which is pretty politically obvious.
Now, contrary to how people feel about the ruler ship of Iran, you can make deals with them, and they do respect the deals we make with them.
They have this complex in a sense. Persia used to be a center of civilization. A lot of the ideas we take for granted today, they made. The idea of being good, is a Persian idea. So, they are civilized. But because the western understanding of the roots of our civilization is mostly understood as Greek, the Persians are left our out of the equation. Nietzsche was pretty into Persian philosophy. The book “Also spracht Zarathustra” is a Persian inspired book.
So, to really understand this illustrious culture, we need to understand. That Persians are VERY civilized.
So how do then make a deal?
We make concessions on both sides.
Less uranium enrichment but then some concession from the other side.
The important thing is to NOT humiliate the Persians. They have been humiliated too much, and that is essentially what they are so angry about.
The great civilization of Cyrus the great and, yes, and ancient enemy of the West. But definitely an enemy that is to be respected.
G-d bless the will to make peace in a way, that the deal is good for all. May Israel prevail.
When I have worked to protect the poor and those who have little. I have always tried to give them a voice.
In a system like the Danish system, this is difficult. Because the system has become a defender of privileges, more than the helping hand.
This we have to change. Making people who are the hired hands of the bureaucracy have faith again.
Most people in the public sector WANTS to be a helping hand. But the system needs faith in this. We need someone in the top, to have faith.
This is what the church can give the society; FAITH.
We have too little faith, and we should, by all means, rekindle that faith in the support of those who have little.
I talk from my own experience, trying to give voice to those who have little, here in Denmark.
G-d bless the will to make a better world.
All right. In an afterthought to the posting yesterday.
The issue with the Houthis is the rockets.
It’s annoying to Israel, international trade, the Saudis and the UAE.
Take those rockets out of the equation, and there is no real threat.
So, getting those rockets out of commission is THE goal.
How do you do that.
First of all, it’s a CLANDESTINE operation. We need to find the place they make these rockets and take that out.
We also have no idea how many rockets they have. So we are grappling in the dark.
Cutting the head of the snake, that we did with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. That is going after the leaders, will definitely work with the Houthis, related to the fact that they are aristocratic in organization. Take out the king, and the game is won.
But we still need to FIND the king.
So my advice would be; put the spooks at work, and start finding the true targets. WHEN we have found them, then destroy these targets with precision, thereby conserving ammunition.
G-d bless the will to make peace in the Middle East. May we prevail.
Ok, we have a problem with the Houthis. Let’s see if we can get our heads wrapped around that.
The Houthis are resourcesful and well organized. Add to this, they have massive terrain advantages. Mountain people are almost always difficult to beat; the Scot’s, Switzerland, Taliban and so on.
The Scots are still Gaelic despite thousands of years of persecution.
Add to this, the Houthis are very innovative and have a technological edge. Having been tested by fire with the Saudis, they are veterans.
They seem to be aristocratic and thus have good morale.
What is their weak point? The rocket manufacturing.
The only reason they are a threat to anyone, is because they produce some impressive rockets.
So, one needs to attack that.
However, given the mountainous area they are living in, it’s very difficult. Just throwing in infantry in the region will not make much of a difference, because they will fight in difficult terrain. This is a potential Afghanistan scenario. That is, fighting a force dug in the mountains, except for the fact that the Houthis are much more technically advanced that the Taliban.
This means, we have no way no to use tanks, and it will be on foot in the mountains we do not know.
In other words, this calls for A LOT of intelligence gathering, before we enter.
We need to know where and what is going on, before we commit to specific strategies.
The rockets is the Achilles heal of the Houthis, if we disrupt this ability, which has to be pretty easy, because the plants that produce the rockets, the components and so on are targetable.
G-d bless the will to make peace in the Middle East.
In the shadow of the passing away of the pope, his eminence Francis, we have peace in the world. Gaza is fed up with fighting and Ukraine is heading for peace as well.
Well, you could perhaps say thank you.
I have realized EVERYTHING the Mosiach is supposed to do, you can just erect the temple and that is that.
Why is it, the realization of the prophecy seems like such a natural and easy thing.
Because g-d is testing us. Are we worthy of the peace we get, or will Israel just be another country all along.
We should respect what g-d gave us instead of taking it for granted.
G-d bless the will to erect the third temple.
