Well, if two armies march and stand in front of each other and shoot, this is not a war. We have to accept that it really is. We are in a war, from the economic aspect to the cultural aspect to the political aspect, and we also see the hard aspect of captivity and military which helps in these other dimensions. We should do this and not think that if we lets ignore the enemy, they ignore us , because we also laughed at the iron dome in the public space of the society, they even made fun of it because some rockets pass through it, but this could actually change the deterrence of the palestinians in our wars. The previous one that had a regime with gaza could not cause such damage. One important reason is the completion of the iron dome, which really deterred the palestinian rockets. It destroyed the Missile Defense of america and the zionist regi

Glass cases but dont mistake them for relics of the past. These are living, breathing documents that inform our policies to this very day. History shows that the newly formed government of this country learned a lot from its relationship with Indian Country. The early leaders of this nation base many of the Guiding Principles that we cherish today on the enlightened democratic tenants of these tribal governments.
