Hamas/Gaza War Musings #27: Ultimate War Aim VICTORY!

 Recently this sign has been seen on the roads. I agree with it.

SAY NO TO A DEAL OF MEANING SURRENDER!
WE MUST BE VICTORIOUS!!

It's not easy to get these slogans into comprehensible English, but I've tried to get the message across. 

I've been too depressed about Israel's policies to blog about the war recently. That's because Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has not been governing/fighting to win. This isn't new. He has failed as Prime Minister and not for the reasons the antigovernment Leftists keep shouting. Their opposition to him is what keeps me going... they remind me that things could be even worse. Yes, if they were in charge.

Follow the money...

The money bags funding these "anyone but Bibi," anti-Bibi, anti-judicial reform etc demonstrations are a gazillion times worse than Bibi. He's horrendously weak, trying to be "centrist" as he unabashedly stated/bragged at the First International Jewish Bloggers Conference as I blogged when I heard it.

The same money sources are funding the anti-Israel American flag-burning demonstrations in the USA. World stability is in danger. The USA is a major problem. Not that long ago, anyone burning an American flag would be arrested; now they're ignored by the police. Schools are teaching that Israel must be destroyed. Jews are in danger. Anyone who sees the holes, the inequality, the inconsistencies and dangers in their ideology has a problem...

Just like in Israel, when they lose elections they take to the streets. Do you remember the NOT MY PRESIDENT demonstrations? 

Netanyahu has been Prime Minister more years than any other person, and at that position he's a good example of the "Peter's Principle, A person rises to his level of incompetence." His true talents, expertise is oratory, not defense, meaning he's make a good Foreign Minister. He was also a great Finance Minister, another talent.

Under Netanyahu's "leadership" sic, we've quit about a dozen wars without winning them. He and his cohorts called them "operations" and decided that lowering the intensity of the attacks, plus using defensive Iron Domes, equaled "winning." 

I kept seeing those other attacks as "target practice" expecting, as did happen, that our dangerous enemies would get better and better aim, more effective in hitting us. 

Bibi's so terrified of a war that instead of fighting our enemies he plays "games," surrendering our land by pulling people out of their homes. Yes, that's what he has done. 

I must write my review of Netanyahu's speech in the US Congress. It follows the same structure as his speech at the bloggers convention in 2008. Listen carefully until the end, and tell me what you've heard.  Yes, I must write up my review...

Gd willing a miracle, true leadership which is the only way we can destroy our enemies.

I'm Worried About The State of The USA

• Not everyone can win.
• The major Principle of democracy is accepting results including losses.

The "not my president" campaign/movement is undemocratic and I'd even say fascist.

The results of legally held elections must be accepted, even when you're upset by them. Not only is that life, but that's what democracy is all about.

If anything, the "not my president" campaign is probably just alienating more voters from the Democratic Party than it's attracting. And no doubt that there are some very embarrassed Democrats who are terrified to voice their opinions. 

Hillary Clinton and other Democrats who lost turned off voters by preaching that their ideology is the right and most moral one, and they didn't tune in to the worries, fears and priorities of the American voters in most of the states. Think of it as playing a violin like a banjo. It's going to sound really bad. And sticking a guitar on your shoulder to play like a violin won't be any better.

Sorry, but the truth, like election results, isn't guaranteed to the pleasant.

Anti-Trump Movement and "Best Picture" Snafu

I must make something very clear. I am not a fan of Donald Trump, but I am both amused by the recent American Presidential Elections and was totally opposed to seeing Hillary Clinton as President of the United States. I consider Trump's nomination to be the direct result of the rather recent political party primaries system for choosing nominees by the two major political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. In 2016 both major parties nominated horrendously flawed candidates. And I consider the antidemocratic and unprecedented "not my president" movement to endanger the democratic process of the United States of America.

And about Hillary Clinton, she's as authentically Feminist as as the "designer" sic pocketbooks sold on Manhattan sidewalks. Would you want a daughter of yours to be married to a serial lech?

Hillary Clinton was scheduled to be nominated regardless of the system for choosing nominees. It had been promised to her in 2008 when Barack Hussein Obama came out of Leftfield and grabbed it once the Kennedy Clan gave him their support. She very professionally sewed up the major donors along with the traditional "party machine." That's why she wasn't challenged, except by Bernie Sanders who galvanized the Far Left and those desperately looking for anybody but Hillary and the Democrat "establishment."

One thing considered as the basic principle of democracy is that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win, and you must accept it. This boycott everything Trump movement, whether his or his daughter's and throwing wrenches into the what is generally easy approval for appointees can only paralyze government process, especially insidious when the resulting paralysis is blamed on Trump.

And what does this all have to do with the recent Academy Awards "Best Picture" Snafu?  The fact that Warren Beatty claimed afterwards that he thought something was wrong, but being a good actor, he didn't question his lines. Yes, that's what good actors do. Davka, think about it. Beatty had been paired with his "Bonnie and Clyde" co-star Faye Dunaway. As actors in that movie, they had brilliantly portrayed the sociopathic couple of thieves and killers into likable iconic characters.

As anyone would, Beatty tried to roll with it.
He looked over the card two times, then a third. He clearly wasn't sure — it didn't make sense that his envelope said "Emma Stone." And so he showed it to his fellow presenter, Dunaway, who saw the words La La Land.
And, because the clock was ticking, she spoke them. (aol.com)

If he had really noticed the mistake, why didn't he just say:

"Oops, this seems to be the wrong envelope!" 

That would have saved Dunaway from revealing to the world that she, like many of us, needs reading glasses.

Too many people are following the anti-Trump Pied Piper, endangering the American democratic system instead of accepting their recent defeat and trying to prepare for the next elections. Remember that the Republicans hold Congress and have increased their governorships. So there is plenty to do if the Democrats really want to improve their situation. Destabilizing the country is the worse thing possible. Yes, I believe that too many people are acting like Warren Beatty, who was afraid to be critical of his "lines," and the result of this "not my president" movement will be severe damage to the USA. That will not be Trump's fault. Sorry, it's like blaming the envelope for the "Best Picture" Snafu.
