Totally agree with General Gallant. In the world today a country either has the military strength to prevail or enemies will take advantage of weakness. Wish the need for a strong military posture wasn't necessary but that is not reality especially for Israel. The General is correct that an effective military goes hand in hand with economic strength. Investors look for stability and not constant unrestrained chaos.

Israel suffers from the fact that 12% of the population who is Jewish does not engage in productive work of any kind. I am referring to the Ultra Orthodox. They get by for the most part on government handouts and other forms of charity. Israel which has a population of about seven million Jews cannot afford the luxury of allowing these Jews to use their religiosity to avoid serving in the IDF along with staying on the dole to be a "learner". The excuse that they use prayer as a weapon against Israeli destruction will not fly anymore. Its causing way too much social strain and disruption. Israel needs that extra brain power and hands to continue to be the export nation of various tech systems because of a absence of natural recourses.

Nobody is telling the ultra Orthodox to give up their way of life, but they have to make a accommodation with a secular Israeli government that not only helps support them but also protects them from people who wish them dead. Yes the Orthodox Rabbi's are loath to give up any power they hold over their followers. But with their high birthrate at some future date they will be 20% of the Israeli Jewish population shortly after 2050. A country the size of Israel cannot support it and it will retard the financial viability of their international and domestic markets.

In my own families case I have a distant relative that lost a son to the various recent wars Israel had to fight. He is modern Orthodox but over the last few years has grown very bitter against the ultra Orthodox. What Israel cannot do is manage dissention within large segments of the population against the conduct of the super Orthodox and its external enemies at the same time. They do not have that luxury with such a small population.

I completely agree. Factor in the expansion of the Abraham Accords to include Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, Israel's recognition of Somaliland, Israel's partnerships with Greece and Cyprus, pending relationship with Armenia, and trade with India, and of course. NATO. And the instability in Iran - where the IRGC killed some 90,000 people, mostly protesters and also including the medical professionals who treated them.

I am not worried about Israel.

I am concerned, however, about the future of the United States.

Our Hopes and Plans

We are an Economic Development Project

We will help prevent forest fires.

We will help prevent flash floods.

We will help prevent attacks on our ranches.

We will repair our; Semi dead dry desert gray Soils.

By creating live healthy black soil filled with Bacteria and Fungi in it, it is called Holistic Grazing.

The Golan which is partly Volcanic gravel. Needs Holistic Grazing.

It will increase water and carbon absorption in our soil.

It will decrease bush growth that helps cause fires.

It will increase grass growth and grass production.

We will help all the ranches in Israel, and then East Africa.

It can lower the cost of meat.

It will improve meat quality.

It can help feed the poor. (3oz/ 85 g. of steak two or three time a week to get your required Amino acids and Protein)

Added note:

The Israel Longhorn Project has establish a partnership with Israel’s Department of Agriculture and the New Guards השומרים החדשים, a teenager organization that helps protect Israel environment.”

The cattle will help build peace and understanding between peoples and nations with their sharp horns, from the bottom of societies.

The reason for the increased costs, from the beginning is to treat the cattle without stress and with respect. Plus to keep the youth and adults safe while working. This non-stressful method with be taught to Israeli, African's and our neighbor cattle producers.

A Short Texas Longhorn History

Texas Longhorn started some 6,500 years ago on the northern and western Black Sea Shore. From there they went west came through the great deserts of the middle east and then spread

throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and Africa.

In a Minoan, Knossos palace, there is a 5,000-year-old painting of what closely compares to a Longhorn.

Columbus and Spanish settlers brought Longhorn to the Americas in about 1493. These Longhorns thrived in the harsh semi-arid climate of Mexico and South Texas. Indian raids, diseases and harsh elements destroyed the Spanish settlements, increasing herds of wild cattle that roamed the country forming the genetic base the American ranching industry and the Longhorn breed. Natural selection for almost 500 years in the desert environment of the Southwest produced today’s Texas Longhorn Breed.

Texas Longhorn history is far more complex than what is written here. This information demonstrates how well these cattle are likely to thrive in Israel and other countries whose environments are harsh with semi-desert conditions.

This short historical paragraph relied on information from several articles that are far more detailed. Texas Longhorn: Forgotten Breed with A Bright Future, by Mary Lou Harrsch and Cattle and Civilization: The Epic of the Longhorn, by Michael M.Fennell.
