			<description><![CDATA[Looking for Help – Trying to Find an Ocular Oncologist Who Might Review My Case<br />
<br />
Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I hope it is okay for me to post here. I am reaching out because I am desperately trying to find an ocular oncologist who might be willing to briefly review my case and tell me whether it may involve a delayed diagnosis of uveal melanoma.<br />
<br />
In 2018, I visited an ophthalmologist because I was experiencing flashes of light (photopsia). The visit was very short – only a few minutes – and according to my recollection and the medical documentation, my pupils were never dilated and the retina was not examined. The doctor focused on the front part of the eye and recommended a preventive laser iridotomy.<br />
<br />
Three years later, in 2021, during what was supposed to be just a routine eye exam with another doctor, my pupils were dilated as part of the examination. The doctor immediately discovered a medium-to-large ocular melanoma in my eye. I was urgently referred to a hospital and underwent brachytherapy within two days.<br />
<br />
Sadly, despite treatment, in September 2024 the cancer progressed and my eye had to be surgically removed. Today I live with an ocular prosthesis.<br />
<br />
Right now, I am simply trying to find an experienced ocular oncologist who might be willing to review a short summary of my case and let me know whether it may warrant a formal expert opinion.<br />
<br />
Without a supporting opinion from a specialist in ocular oncology, I cannot even pursue legal review of the case in my country.<br />
<br />
If anyone here knows an ocular oncologist, a specialist in uveal melanoma, or someone connected to major centers such as Wills Eye Hospital, Mount Sinai, Columbia, Bascom Palmer, or other ocular oncology programs, I would be incredibly grateful for any guidance, introductions, or suggestions.<br />
<br />
This situation has been extremely difficult, and any help or direction from this community would truly mean the world to me.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for reading and for any help you may be able to offer ❤️?????<br />

			<description><![CDATA[It seems that E.U. Commission "Humanitarian" aid to the "Palestinian" Arabs may have become <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">astronomical</span> !<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>AI Overview:<br />
<br />
Yes, the European Commission's aid to Palestinians, especially since late 2023, often exceeds annual ESA [European Space Agency] contributions; <br />
the EU's total support for Palestinians (humanitarian + development) is in the billions (<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">€</span>1.6B for 2025-27), <br />
while ESA's  total  budget is comparable but broken down by  member  contributions, often in the hundreds of millions (e.g., Spain <span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">€</span>500M, France/Germany billions over years, not annually), <br />
making direct annual EU Commission aid vs. total  country  ESA contributions an uneven comparison, but overall EU financial flows to Palestine are massive.  <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">EU Funding for Palestinians (EU Commission &amp; Member States - "Team Europe"):</span><br />
<br />
&gt; <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Humanitarian Aid:</span>  The EU is the largest donor, allocating significant funds, with <span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">€</span>220 million in emergency aid for 2025 alone, and over <span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">€</span>1.58 billion from Team Europe since October 2023 for humanitarian needs.<br />
<br />
&gt; <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Development &amp; Stability:</span>  A major 2025-2027 program for Palestine is up to  <span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">€</span>1.6 billion, supporting services, recovery, and the Palestinian Authority.  <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">European Space Agency (ESA) Contributions:</span><br />
<br />
&gt; ESA is funded by its member states (including EU nations) through mandatory and voluntary contributions for specific programs.<br />
<br />
&gt; While multi-billion-euro budgets exist for space programs, individual  annual  contributions to ESA from single EU countries (like France or Germany) are substantial (often hundreds of millions to over a billion euros annually for  all space activities), but these fund space programs, not direct humanitarian aid.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Comparison:</span><br />
<br />
&gt; <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The  EU Commission's  <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">specific</span>  annual humanitarian aid</span>  (hundreds of millions) can rival or exceed what some  individual  EU states might contribute to ESA in a single year, but the total "Team Europe" support package for Palestine (humanitarian + development) is in the billions over a few years.<br />
<br />
It's an <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">apples-to-oranges comparison</span>  of EU institutional funding vs. member state contributions to a separate agency, but both are significant financial commitments, with EU support to Palestine being a massive, ongoing funding stream.  </blockquote>
<br />
<br />
The AI Overview says: 'It's an <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">apples-to-oranges comparison</span> of EU institutional funding vs. member state contributions to a separate agency'. <br />
I beg to differ, because the value of each Euro to the beneficiary concerned on the international money markets (whether spent by the E.U. Commission or by individual E.U. countries), is the same.<br />

<br />
is there a jewish word for someone who disregards Moses and Joshua warning that Jews in Israel must not go down from Israel to Egypt (goy nations)?<br />
While there isn't one specific Hebrew word that perfectly encapsulates someone who disregards Moses and Joshua's warning about Jews not returning to Egypt, several related terms and concepts exist within Jewish thought:<br />
Yerida (ירידה): Literally meaning "descent," this term describes the act of emigrating from Israel. While it doesn't specifically target those returning to Egypt, it reflects the negative connotation associated with leaving the Land of Israel, particularly for countries perceived as less spiritually pure or that might lead to assimilation.<br />
Mumar (מומר): This term refers to a Jew who has "changed" and abandoned their faith, according to Wikipedia. While not exclusively about the Egypt prohibition, it encompasses the act of rejecting core Jewish practices or beliefs, including those related to dwelling in the Land of Israel or avoiding negative influences.<br />
Poshea Yisrael (פושע ישראל): This means "transgressor of Israel" and also describes a Jew who has strayed from the path of Jewish law and tradition. This broader term includes the disregard of warnings like those concerning Egypt. <br />
It's important to consider that the prohibition against returning to Egypt stems from several concerns outlined in the Torah, including:<br />
Avoiding Immoral Practices: Egyptian society was considered to be highly immoral, and returning there was seen as a risk of negative influence on the Jewish people.<br />
Affront to God: Returning to Egypt would be an affront to God, who specifically saved the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.<br />
Loss of Holiness: Some Jewish teachings suggest that Egypt was emptied of its holiness when the Israelites left, and returning there would be a spiritually unproductive act. <br />
In conclusion, while "Yerida" describes the act of emigration from Israel, and terms like "Mumar" and "Poshea Yisrael" address the broader concept of abandoning Jewish practice, there isn't a single Hebrew word used specifically to denote someone who disregards the warning about returning to Egypt. <br />
<br />
Based on the information available, there isn't one specific Jewish word that precisely encapsulates someone who disregards Moses and Joshua's warning about Jews in Israel not going down to Egypt (or "goy nations"). However, related terms and concepts from Jewish tradition can shed light on this scenario: <br />
Mumar: This Hebrew term literally means "one who is changed" and refers to an apostate, someone who rejects Judaism, according to Wikipedia. While not solely focused on the "return to Egypt" aspect, disregarding core commandments and warnings from the Torah, such as the prohibition against relying on other nations instead of God, could be seen as a form of apostasy.<br />
Kofer: This term translates to "denier" or "heretic" and is used to describe someone who denies the divine inspiration of the Torah or the authority of the Oral Law.<br />
Tinok shenishba: This Talmudic term translates to "captured infant" and refers to a Jew who sins inadvertently due to having been raised without sufficient knowledge and understanding of Judaism. This highlights the importance of education and understanding in Jewish tradition.<br />
Avodah Zarah: This term refers to idolatry, the worship of "strange gods" or "idols" instead of God alone. The warnings against returning to Egypt or interacting closely with other nations were often rooted in the fear that Jews would be led astray and worship other gods or adopt immoral practices. Therefore, choosing to go to Egypt despite the warnings could be seen as a step towards Avodah Zarah. <br />
The core issue revolves around obedience to God's commandments and warnings found in the Torah. Disregarding these warnings would be considered a form of sin or transgression, according to The Jewish Theological Seminary. The specific context of the "return to Egypt" was significant because it represented a potential rejection of the path God had chosen for the Israelites and a possible return to the idolatry and immoral practices they had left behind. <br />
In conclusion, while no single word perfectly fits the description, several concepts in Jewish tradition address the behavior of disregarding divine warnings and laws, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness, obedience, and maintaining one's unique identity as a member of the Jewish people]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[France, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom, indicate that they will recognize "Palestine". <br />
<br />
This will have no practical significance and most countries recognize "Palestine", anyway:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>'As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations [...]'.<br />
<br />
Source:<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Palestine" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internatio..._Palestine</a></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Recognition of "Palestine" is alleged to be linked to a two-state solution. <br />
Firstly, there is no legal or historical justification for the "Palestinian" Arabs' claim to any part of the land of Israel. <br />
Secondly, a proto two-state solution experiment has already been tested in the Oslo Accords where the "Palestinian" Arabs were granted autonomy of the whole of Gaza and about 40% of Judah and Samaria ("West Bank, the"). <br />
This resulted in terrorism by Fatah (aka "Palestinian Authority, the"), in the "Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund" the "pay for slay" reward pension for acts of terrorism against Israeli Jewish civilians including children. <br />
It also resulted in thousands of rockets being fired at Israeli cities from Gaza, and in the October 7th, 2023 massacre by "Palestinian" Arabs from Gaza upon Israeli Jewish civilians. <br />
Thirdly, the "Palestinian" Arabs do not believe or want a two-state solution. Their objective is to murder or expel all the Jews from the Jewish people's ancestral-homeland of Israel, and to take ALL the land. <br />
Their use of the name "Palestine" can consistently be seen as seeking to negate the name and the country of Israel. <br />
The "Palestinian" Arabs claim ALL the land of Israel, with zero historical or legal justification.<br />
<br />
There is no justification for any "Palestinian" Arab state in the land of Israel, and we have seen what the "Palestinian" Arabs did with their autonomy.<br />
The so called "two-state solution" is dead. In reality it constitutes a desire for the destruction of Israel.<br />
<br />
<br />
The support by countries for recognizing "Palestine" is said to be the current circumstances in Gaza. Israel must be the only country in history where there are demands on it to feed its enemy, an enemy which seeks to grip the remaining Israeli hostages rather than once more be allowed to resume perpetually sponging-off the international community for food aid.<br />
<br />
Therefore let's take a brief look at the real reasons why the above countries are making demands on Israel and are intending to recognize "Palestine".<br />
<br />
Why does Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) and more specifically most Irish people, support the "Palestinian" Arabs?<br />
The reason is said to be that the Irish compare the Israelis with the colonial British, having regard to Irish political history: <br />
<a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/03/14/1233395830/ireland-pro-palestinian" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.npr.org/2024/03/14/123339583...alestinian</a><br />
However, the predominate religion in Ireland is Catholicism and Catholics know perfectly well from the Bible that the land of Israel is the ancestral-homeland of the Jewish people. <br />
Therefore something does not make logical sense in the Irish preference for the "Palestinian" Arabs! <br />
How then do we explain this: It is anti-Jewish prejudice; anti-Semitism, which appears to work like this: If it has become unfashionable to kick the Jew, then kick the Jews' country Israel. <br />
<br />
What about other anti-Israel countries such as Spain, and Sweden which is seeking that the E.U. suspend its trade agreement with Israel, and the countries currently indicating they will recognize "Palestine"?<br />
<br />
Spain:<br />
'The proportion of Muslims in Spain is estimated to be around 4.45% to 5.32% of the total population.'<br />
(Google AI Overview.)<br />
<br />
Sweden:<br />
'The Muslim population in Sweden is estimated to be around 8% [...]'.<br />
(Google AI Overview.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Now the countries currently indicating they intend to recognize "Palestine":<br />
<br />
France:<br />
'In France, Muslims represent approximately 10% of the population. [...]'.<br />
(Google AI Overview.)<br />
<br />
UK:<br />
'In 2021, Muslims comprised 6.5% of the population in England and Wales, according to the UK Census. [...]'.<br />
(Google AI Overview.) <br />
<br />
Germany:<br />
'In Germany, Muslims constitute approximately 6.4% to 6.7% of the total population. [...]'.<br />
(Google AI Overview.) <br />
<br />
Canada:<br />
'In Canada, the proportion of the population identifying as Muslim has more than doubled in the last two decades. It rose from 2.0% in 2001 to 4.9% in 2021. [...]'.<br />
(Google AI Overview.) <br />
<br />
For the political party or coalition in power in these countries, such a population constitutes a gold mine for new votes, and what better way to obtain more votes from it, than by supporting the "Palestinian" Arabs baseless-claims to the land of Israel. <br />
While tapping-in to that rich-vein of votes by the simple means of supporting Israel's enemies, these countries can also at the same time, conveniently massage their institutionalized anti-Semitism.<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[Today I was compelled to write the following<br />
OH Israel: Remember the story ofNoah and the Flood…he listed to the L-d warning and was saved….whose who refused to listen to the L-d were punished…an allegorical definition of this story could point points out the descendents of Easu and Ishamel {Goyish nations] were punished for refusing to listen to the L-d and instead waging eternal war on the people of the Book…only those who took the L-ds warning were saved (jewish people)  The flood represents the Goy nations attempt to “drown” Israel; Mount ararat represents The Land of Israel; the Ark represents the Torahl the Talmud the Oral Law,,the dove represents the remandier of the L-ds Promise to Israel via his promise to Abraham<br />
All Israel is Bound to the Covenant  all the actions of Jewish Persons weather among themselves or among the goy nations will either serve as Ambassadors of the L-d or not remember…whereever Jewish persons reside do not let the temtations of Pride; arrogance; secular materalism or atheism cause Jewish persons by their actions to Dimish the values of the L-d to the rest of the world. Be  reminder to the Goy nations that the L-d exists but do not intermarry with them or dress like them or act like them at the caust of loosening the Covenent with the L-d.<br />
To: Torah Scholors: Beware of the dangers of Pride and Arrogance <br />
When having opposing viewpoints over the Torah—do so to try to understand and live the meaning of scripture; do not make dishonest arguments  In order to “win” disagreements over Torah Viewpoints..<br />
Remember Phinehas who was zealus for the L-d yet  Phineas sinned due to his not availing his servitude of Torah instruction to the masses at the time leading up to the Battle of Gibeah. In addition, he also failed to address the needs of relieving Jephthah of his vow to sacrifice his daughter. As consequence, the high priesthood was taken from him and temporarily given to the offspring of Ithamar, essentially Eli and his sons. Likewise story serves as a warning against pride and the withholding of Torah knowledge. Phinehas lost his high-priestly dignity due to his haughty behavior towards Jephthah.. This incident highlights the importance of sharing Torah knowledge, even with those less educated.The Midrash teaches that both Phinehas and Jephthah were punished for their pride. Phinehas lost the divine spirit that had previously rested upon him, while Jephthah became ill and lost many of his limbs. This outcome emphasizes the severe consequences of allowing arrogance to prevent the sharing of crucial Torah knowledge.This cautionary tale reminds us that those well-versed in Torah have a responsibility to teach and guide others, regardless of their perceived status or knowledge level. It underscores the importance of humility and the obligation to share wisdom with all Jews, especially those who may lack a strong foundation in Torah observance<br />
Remember Jephthah whose rash vow caused his daugthers death and brought  punishment on himself and Phinehas as well<br />
<br />
To all Jewish persons..remember how the L-d was “..I am He who inflicted punishment upon Samson, Amnon, and Zimri, and who will inflict punishment upon any one who will act in accordance with their practices... “<br />
Remember the actions of Samson who was consecrated to the L-d and when the Spirit of the L-d was on him defeated many enemies..yet because  As his eyes led him astray by lust, this was the reason he was blinded…<br />
Remember because of Jair wickedness  who“ erected an altar unto Baal, and on penalty of death he forced the people to prostrate themselves before it.…Then the angel approached Jair, and said to him: "Hear the words of the Lord ere thou diest. I appointed thee as prince over my people, and thou didst break My covenant, seduce My people, and seek to burn My servants with fire, but they were animated and freed by the living, the heavenly fire. As for thee, thou wilt die, and die by fire, a fire in which thou wilt abide forever." Thereupon the angel burnt him with a thousand men, whom he had taken in the act of paying homage to Baal<br />
Do not follow the actions of King Amon of Judah:”… according to a lost Jewish apocryphal writing, reads: <br />
"No sin is more grievous than idolatry, for it is treason against God. Yet even this has been forgiven upon sincere repentance; but he that sins from a mere spirit of opposition, to see whether God will punish the wicked, shall find no pardon, although he say in his heart, 'I shall have peace in the end (by repenting), though I walk in the stubbornness of my evil heart'" (Deut. xxix. 19). Such a one was Amon, the son of Manasseh, for the (Apocryphal) Scripture says: "And Amon reasoned an evil reasoning of transgression and said: 'My father from his childhood was a great transgressor, and he repented in his old age. So will I now walk after the lust of my soul and afterward return to the Lord.' And he committed more evil in the sight of the Lord than all that were before him; but the Lord God speedily cut him off from this good land. And his servants conspired against him and slew him in his own house, and he reigned two years only." It is noteworthy that this very midrashic fragment casts light upon the emphatic teaching of the Mishnah (Yoma, viii. 9): "Whosoever says, 'I will sin and repent thereafter,' will not be granted the time for repentance.<br />
Do not follow the actions of King Jehoiakim of Judah:”.. the Jerusalem Talmud cites him as an example of one who has forfeited his place in heaven by publicly transgressing the law.<br />
<br />
Remember how the actionsof the Jewish people  brought about the death of King Josiah: “..also that Josiah's death was brought about because despite his sincere religious reform, he had in fact been deceived; thus he refused to heed the Prophet Jeremiah, thinking that no sword would pass through the Land of Israel. He was struck by 300 darts; he made no complaint except to acknowledge "The Lord is righteous, for I rebelled against His commandment.”<br />

			<description><![CDATA[For years the US Has had a succession weak, foolish....as Presidents  starting with Carter<br />
<br />
As a result Uncle Sam became Uncle Sucker and has now  become a Hollow Golem<br />
Golem: In Jewish folklore, a golem is an artificial, often human-shaped being made of inanimate material, usually clay, and brought to life through mystical means. They are typically created to serve or protect, but can become uncontrollable or misinterpret commands..<br />
Applying it to the USA: Using "hollow golem" to describe the USA suggests the country, despite appearing powerful and solid, might be lacking substance or controlled by external forces. It could imply that the nation is a creation serving a purpose, but without its own inherent will or values, potentially leading to unintended or negative consequences, much like the legendary golems that sometimes turned against their creators<br />
In essence, "Uncle Sam has become a Hollow Golem" could be a critique suggesting that the United States government (Uncle Sam) has become an entity that, while perhaps created with good intentions (like a golem meant to protect its people), has lost its way, become detached from the values it's supposed to uphold, or is acting as an uncontrollable force that has become detrimental to its own people or the world. It could also imply that the government has become a tool manipulated by others, lacking independent thought or conscience.<br />

The phrase "nuclear pact with iran is as genuine as owning the brooklyn bridge" reflects a deeply skeptical view of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal. This perspective suggests that the agreement is unreliable and ultimately ineffective in preventing Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. <br />
Here's why some people hold this skeptical view, supported by current information (as of July 7, 2025):<br />
US Withdrawal and Iran's Non-Compliance: The US withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 and subsequent re-imposition of sanctions severely impacted the deal's effectiveness. In response, Iran has progressively violated key terms of the agreement, including increasing its uranium enrichment levels and stockpiles beyond the permitted limits.<br />
Concerns about Iran's Nuclear Activities: Despite Iran's claims of a peaceful nuclear program, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported in May 2025 that Iran had accumulated enough highly enriched uranium (408.6 kg of 60% enriched) to potentially produce nearly 10 nuclear weapons if further enriched. Additionally, the IAEA's ability to monitor Iran's program has been limited since 2021. Iran has also rejected recent US proposals related to its nuclear program.<br />
Failed Efforts to Restore the Deal: Despite attempts to revive the JCPOA or negotiate a new agreement, talks have stalled. The election of a new Iranian president in July 2024 who supports the JCPOA offered some hope for future diplomacy, but ongoing geopolitical tensions threaten these efforts.<br />
Upcoming Expiration of Key Provisions: The JCPOA agreement itself is set to expire in October 2025, which would remove remaining enforcement tools like the snapback mechanism. <br />
<br />
Current Status and Implications:<br />
JCPOA is essentially defunct: As of July 2025, the JCPOA is largely seen as ineffective, with Iran having significantly increased its nuclear capabilities since the US withdrawal.<br />
Iran is a "threshold state": Iran now possesses the knowledge and technology to potentially develop nuclear weapons relatively quickly if it makes the political decision to do so.<br />
Uncertain future: Negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing, but prospects for reviving or replacing the JCPOA remain uncertain.<br />
Escalation risks: The risk of further escalation and military action against Iran's nuclear facilities remains a concern. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[For years the US Has had a succession weak, foolish....as Presidents  starting with Carter<br />
<br />
As a result Uncle Sam became Uncle Sucker and has now  become a Hollow Golem<br />
Golem: In Jewish folklore, a golem is an artificial, often human-shaped being made of inanimate material, usually clay, and brought to life through mystical means. They are typically created to serve or protect, but can become uncontrollable or misinterpret commands..<br />
Applying it to the USA: Using "hollow golem" to describe the USA suggests the country, despite appearing powerful and solid, might be lacking substance or controlled by external forces. It could imply that the nation is a creation serving a purpose, but without its own inherent will or values, potentially leading to unintended or negative consequences, much like the legendary golems that sometimes turned against their creators<br />
In essence, "Uncle Sam has become a Hollow Golem" could be a critique suggesting that the United States government (Uncle Sam) has become an entity that, while perhaps created with good intentions (like a golem meant to protect its people), has lost its way, become detached from the values it's supposed to uphold, or is acting as an uncontrollable force that has become detrimental to its own people or the world. It could also imply that the government has become a tool manipulated by others, lacking independent thought or conscience.<br />

The phrase "nuclear pact with iran is as genuine as owning the brooklyn bridge" reflects a deeply skeptical view of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal. This perspective suggests that the agreement is unreliable and ultimately ineffective in preventing Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. <br />
Here's why some people hold this skeptical view, supported by current information (as of July 7, 2025):<br />
US Withdrawal and Iran's Non-Compliance: The US withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 and subsequent re-imposition of sanctions severely impacted the deal's effectiveness. In response, Iran has progressively violated key terms of the agreement, including increasing its uranium enrichment levels and stockpiles beyond the permitted limits.<br />
Concerns about Iran's Nuclear Activities: Despite Iran's claims of a peaceful nuclear program, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported in May 2025 that Iran had accumulated enough highly enriched uranium (408.6 kg of 60% enriched) to potentially produce nearly 10 nuclear weapons if further enriched. Additionally, the IAEA's ability to monitor Iran's program has been limited since 2021. Iran has also rejected recent US proposals related to its nuclear program.<br />
Failed Efforts to Restore the Deal: Despite attempts to revive the JCPOA or negotiate a new agreement, talks have stalled. The election of a new Iranian president in July 2024 who supports the JCPOA offered some hope for future diplomacy, but ongoing geopolitical tensions threaten these efforts.<br />
Upcoming Expiration of Key Provisions: The JCPOA agreement itself is set to expire in October 2025, which would remove remaining enforcement tools like the snapback mechanism. <br />
<br />
Current Status and Implications:<br />
JCPOA is essentially defunct: As of July 2025, the JCPOA is largely seen as ineffective, with Iran having significantly increased its nuclear capabilities since the US withdrawal.<br />
Iran is a "threshold state": Iran now possesses the knowledge and technology to potentially develop nuclear weapons relatively quickly if it makes the political decision to do so.<br />
Uncertain future: Negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing, but prospects for reviving or replacing the JCPOA remain uncertain.<br />
Escalation risks: The risk of further escalation and military action against Iran's nuclear facilities remains a concern. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[What might be an explanation for the lack of logic behind Iran's hostility to Israel?<br />
<br />
Since 1989 Iranian hostility to Israel has appeared to primarily source from its Supreme Leader. <br />
<br />
Grand Ayatollah, Ali Hosseini Khamenei[a], an Iranian cleric and politician, has served as the second supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1989. (Wikipedia.) His hostility to Israel is made to appear as based in "Palestinian" Arab falsehood-propaganda, which asserts a land called "Palestine" stolen by the Jews from a people called "Palestinians", for which there is zero objective-historical evidence. <br />
<br />
The Supreme Leader is also a high-ranking Islamic cleric, yet the dispute over the land of Israel is not a religious one: Rather the dispute is due to the territorial ambitions of the "Palestinian" Arabs, for which they have zero historical or legal claims. <br />
The Jewish Temple built at the Temple Mount / Haram al-Sharif, is mentioned in the noble Quran, and is also described by it as a “Masjid” meaning “Mosque”. I have discussed this in more detail, here: <br />
"Why it would be Un-Islamic for Muslims to oppose Israel’s right to exist": <br />
<a href="https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=796&amp;pid=5310%20-%20pid5310" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/show... - pid5310</a><br />
<br />
The Iranian Supreme Leader must also be aware from Iranian (Persian) history that the Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Israel, and that enmity against Israel by Iran is inappropriate given that history shows Persian friendship with the Jewish people, as shown below:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>'After the overthrow of Babylon by the Persians, [the Persian King] Cyrus [...] gave the Jews permission to return to Jerusalem in 537 B.C.E. [Persian year 1159 B.P / Islamic year 1194 B.H.]. The Book of Ezra reports that 42,360 [Ezra 2:64] availed themselves of the privilege [returning with Zerubbabel, Ezra 2:2], including women, children and slaves, finally completing a long and dreary journey of four months from the banks of the Euphrates to Jerusalem.' <br />

<br />
<br />
There has never been an indigenous “Palestine” / Arab sovereign state in the land of Israel upon which the “Palestinian” Arabs could base any claim to any part of Israel. <br />
<br />
The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” because they do not want you to understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate, to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">'[...] most Arabs in British Mandate Palestine were migrant workers and descendants of the 1832-1947 wave of Arab/Muslim immigration from Egypt, the Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, North Africa, Bosnia, India, Afghanistan, etc. While the British Mandate encouraged Arab immigration, it blocked Jewish immigration.'</span><br />

<br />
The Iranian Supreme Leader (and indeed no one) has any logical religious or historical reasoning in support such hostility to Israel. Therefore the only logical reasoning that can be applied, is that of anti-Semitism, a form of evil. His hatred, like that of Hitler (the Nazi German war time leader), has become an obsession, an obsession which likewise is bringing Iran to ruin, and due to which he will likely continue to seek ways to bring nuclear catastrophe to either Israel, the United States, or both. <br />
<br />
It is therefore appropriate that he be removed, without delay.]]></description>

Peace and blessings to all Jews living in the diaspora:<br />
We, the Rabbinical Court at Mount Zion, call upon all Jews in the diaspora to urgently ascend to the Land of Israel for the following reasons:<br />
1. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">We are in the final period of the ingathering of exiles.</span><br />
2. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Divine Presence has departed from the diaspora</span> and has now permanently settled in the Land of Israel, as prophesied by the Holy One, blessed be He, through the prophet Ezekiel (36:24):<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land."</span><br />
3. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Holy One, blessed be He, has intensified antisemitism abroad</span> in this period to prompt Jews to quickly ascend to the Land of Israel.<br />
4. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Our sages taught that a devastating world war is imminent</span>, and during this war, the safest place for Jews to reside will be the Land of Israel:<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance."</span><br />
In the coming war, the lands that have oppressed and harmed the Jewish people throughout history will be particularly affected, and these lands are considered “places of danger.”<br />
5. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">King Solomon stated in Proverbs (22:17):</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and set your heart to my knowledge."</span> Rashi explains: "Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—to learn Torah from any sage. And set your heart to my knowledge—but if your teacher is wicked, do not emulate his actions (see Chagigah 15b)." Before the Holocaust, some rabbis advised against ascending to the Land of Israel, and six million Jews paid the price with their lives and the lives of their families.<br />
Therefore, we call upon you: Hasten to ascend to the Land of Israel before calamity strikes. Save yourselves and your families, and join the spiritual and material abundance of the Land of Israel.<br />
With blessings for the complete redemption, with mercy and joy, The Secretariat of the Rabbinical Court<br />

<span style="color: #444444;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="mycode_font">The Sanhedrin wishes to congratulate the Minister of Justice Prof. Yaakov Neeman who did a <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kiddush shem Shamayim</span><a href="https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/Hachrazah_5770_Kislev_22#cite_note-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #006bb3;" class="mycode_color">[1]</span></a> in public. He pointed to the proper form of legislature for the Nation of Israel: a legal system founded on the Torah, as it said by Rabbenu Saadia Gaon "our people are not a nation without the Torah".<a href="https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/Hachrazah_5770_Kislev_22#cite_note-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #006bb3;" class="mycode_color">[2]</span></a> In a fitting way Yaakov Neeman fulfilled the meaning of his name "Neeman" (which means faithful), and the mission of "Yaakov" (our forefather), a pure man learning in the tents. You have brought honor to your family.<br />
The founders of the Sanhedrin formulated, shortly after its establishment, a covenant for the establishment of a Great Court based on Torah. In it was declared the principle of Torah based legal system as a living and agreed upon system of law for the Land of Israel. It called for the establishment of courts throughout the country.<br />
Establishment of an alternative court system as noted by the Minister of Justice is urgently needed, not just civil law, but in all areas of law. Indeed there is need to coordinate norms of criminal justice penalties between the legal systems. The two systems can live in peace and coordination.<br />
Before us, the Jewish people, there is a long way to go before a legal system of based on the Torah will be agreed upon by the general population. This process involves gentle, nurturing of the prestige of the Torah courts, intellectualizing their procedures, maintaining the order of law with the cooperation of both the religious and non-religious public. All this together with the organization of communities of observant Jews around a Torah based legal system.<br />
[Let it be known that there is already a connection between State law, and the rulings of the Sanhedrin, we learn] from the fundamental decisions of the Sanhedrin: every law of the State of Israel, properly enacted, that does not contradict the laws of the Torah, is a valid law (according to Jewish Law).<br />
We pray that the reverberations of the words of the Minister Neeman will open the doors of Torah, that it may shine forth.<br />
Out of respect for the Torah, let us find ways to establish a Torah based legal system, strengthening the people of Israel, the State of Israel and the Land of Israel.<br />
Negation of a Torah based legal system however, invalidates, G-d forbid, the legitimacy of the Jewish State. Such a negation, obviously endangers our present and continued existence, and existence in the future even more.<br />

Thus any action by a Jew that brings honor, respect, and glory to G-d is considered to be a Kiddush Hashem, whereas any behavior or action that disgraces, harms or shames G-d and His Torah is regarded as a Chillul Hashem which means a “desecration of G-d.”</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="mycode_font">The Sanhedrin wishes to congratulate the Minister of Justice Prof. Yaakov Neeman who did a <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kiddush shem Shamayim</span><a href="https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/Hachrazah_5770_Kislev_22#cite_note-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #006bb3;" class="mycode_color">[1]</span></a> in public. He pointed to the proper form of legislature for the Nation of Israel: a legal system founded on the Torah, as it said by Rabbenu Saadia Gaon "our people are not a nation without the Torah".<a href="https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/Hachrazah_5770_Kislev_22#cite_note-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #006bb3;" class="mycode_color">[2]</span></a> In a fitting way Yaakov Neeman fulfilled the meaning of his name "Neeman" (which means faithful), and the mission of "Yaakov" (our forefather), a pure man learning in the tents. You have brought honor to your family.<br />
The founders of the Sanhedrin formulated, shortly after its establishment, a covenant for the establishment of a Great Court based on Torah. In it was declared the principle of Torah based legal system as a living and agreed upon system of law for the Land of Israel. It called for the establishment of courts throughout the country.<br />
Establishment of an alternative court system as noted by the Minister of Justice is urgently needed, not just civil law, but in all areas of law. Indeed there is need to coordinate norms of criminal justice penalties between the legal systems. The two systems can live in peace and coordination.<br />
Before us, the Jewish people, there is a long way to go before a legal system of based on the Torah will be agreed upon by the general population. This process involves gentle, nurturing of the prestige of the Torah courts, intellectualizing their procedures, maintaining the order of law with the cooperation of both the religious and non-religious public. All this together with the organization of communities of observant Jews around a Torah based legal system.<br />
[Let it be known that there is already a connection between State law, and the rulings of the Sanhedrin, we learn] from the fundamental decisions of the Sanhedrin: every law of the State of Israel, properly enacted, that does not contradict the laws of the Torah, is a valid law (according to Jewish Law).<br />
We pray that the reverberations of the words of the Minister Neeman will open the doors of Torah, that it may shine forth.<br />
Out of respect for the Torah, let us find ways to establish a Torah based legal system, strengthening the people of Israel, the State of Israel and the Land of Israel.<br />
Negation of a Torah based legal system however, invalidates, G-d forbid, the legitimacy of the Jewish State. Such a negation, obviously endangers our present and continued existence, and existence in the future even more.<br />

Thus any action by a Jew that brings honor, respect, and glory to G-d is considered to be a Kiddush Hashem, whereas any behavior or action that disgraces, harms or shames G-d and His Torah is regarded as a Chillul Hashem which means a “desecration of G-d.”</span></span></span><br />
