There is no question about the need to eliminate organized crime in the world and in Israel. The war on crime families must be uncompromising. The terror and death they inflict on the public everywhere in the world necessitates their eradication through international cooperation. However, throughout the world, as well as in Israel, the war on organized crime must be within the framework of the law, and if necessary, within the framework of emergency laws that the state authorities will approve. It is impossible to use the excuse of organized crime in the political field, for which the laws are different. You certainly do not invade a country, arguing that a crime family rules it. Such matters are at the root of the reason that in the United States, the president does not start a war, but Congress, which is a broad body, whose discretion does not depend on the follies of this or that person when it comes to deciding on something so fundamental that its impact on the lives of millions of innocent and good people is decisive. And throughout the world, an invasion that is not backed by a solid political argument is a profound violation of the lives of a public that has nothing to do with crime, and of the sovereignty, independence, and freedom, which the cruel and terrible world in which we live is still trying to preserve as a deep and essential public asset. The US president is apparently counting on the fact that a television viewing public, already dumbed down by hundreds of images and films that distort reason and judgment, will see the picture of Maduro in handcuffs and say with a viewer's television instinct that he is the villain in the story. But Maduro is not the point at all, and this is not a television melodrama, but the real (political) life of Venezuela and its people. And even if Maduro is a criminal, even then, as head of state, the delicate institutions that humanity has managed to establish for people like Maduro are the ones who should take care of him, and not an unstable and boundless bully like the person who now sits in the White House. A person who uses the enormous power of the US to capture a person who, in his eyes, is a drug dealer.

And how do we know that Trump is a thug? According to his actions regarding the transfer that the Israeli tyrannical government (which adores Trump) tried to carry out against the population of Gaza. Let us recall that one of the parties, or both together, came up with the idea to hide the damnable crime of expelling the population of Gaza, using the friendly term "voluntary migration"; as if we are all stupid and have no idea that the term "will" has no meaning among an occupied population; Israel, our beloved country, was never occupied in the modern era after the declaration of independence, and we, free Israelis, have never been forced to do anything "of our own free will" according to the dictates of our occupiers, and according to the absolute and cruel will of an occupier. Perhaps that is why we cannot put ourselves in the place of occupied, as stated in our eternal values: Do not judge a person until you have reached his place.

Ethical Israel must distance itself as much as possible from the unstable type who sits in the White House. Sooner or later, he will trample on our values ​​as well (we have written about this in the past), and it is already possible to see (as we have been reporting every week lately) that his interests and the Israeli interests are no longer the same as they were at the beginning of his first term (see how he sees a close friend in the Islamo-Nazi Erdogan who prayed to his God to destroy Israel); and each of us knows very well in his heart that when Israel loses its values, it subsequently loses its sovereignty. This is a historical rule that seemingly has no explanation. But it does.

One of our fundamental values ​​is to protect the honor and life, health and well-being and home of others, and in this case, a people who are under our military authority, after an Islamo-Nazi organization that emerged from it rose up to destroy Israel. Israel must immediately improve the living conditions of the Palestinian people, in this harsh winter that is hitting the weakest, defenseless children the hardest, and bring them, intact, physically and numerically, to their home that will be rebuilt on Israel's southern border. Our lives depend on it.
