Tel-Chai Nation

Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.


Gantz flip-flops on a national unity government

During a press conference on where Benny Gantz's Blue & White party is headed this coming election, he flip-flopped on his answer:
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz caused a political uproar on Thursday when he gave two opposite answers to the question of whether he would sit in a government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

When Gantz was asked at the Knesset by Maariv diplomatic correspondent Yanir Cozin on whether the American peace plan could lead to a national unity government, Gantz replied, “We decided that Israel comes before everything, so we will support what is good for Israel.”

The statement – of not ruling out entering a coalition with Likud – went viral on the Internet. When Gantz found out that he had been misunderstood, he hurried back to reporters and changed his tune.

Gantz claimed in a statement to dozens of reporters that he did not hear the initial question because it was directed toward his ear that was damaged during his IDF service. “I didn’t understand the question,” he said. “I want to replace Netanyahu, not to sit with him.”
I think he actually does want to join a national unity government arrangement, but doesn't really have the courage to admit it. Not only that, he even wants to form a government with the Haredi parties, and he attended a special meeting in Bnei Brak a few days ago trying to convince them his partner Yair Lapid doesn't hate Haredis, which, now that I think of it, might be correct, recalling he once tried several years ago to convince them to form a coalition with him. In any case, Gantz's own flip-flop may not endear him to the left, and certainly shows he's more an opportunist than anything else. Though he is still bad news, of course. And that's why in the end, the political landscape would be better off without him.

    Cornelius Tacticus, the famous Roman historian
    who lived from year 56 CE (approximately)
    to year 120 CE said:

    “Much of Judea is thickly studded with
    villages, and the Jews have towns as well.

    Their capital is Jerusalem.

    Here stood their Temple with its boundless riches.”

    ORIGINAL SOURCE OF QUOTE:
    The Histories by Tacitus,
    The Jews (Book 5), paragraph 8 of 13.

    NOTE: Remember this when people
    attempt to deny that Jews lived in the Holy Land.
    Remember this when people attempt to deny
    that there was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
