  1. @Leo Gura If you are already looking through Spiral Dynamic, some important points: It is naive to think that the correct response to red is green. This is not what will solve the problem. A green approach will not help a person surrounded by red (for example in prison or against terrorism) He will have to go down several steps in the spiral to survive. The correct definition of bullying requires that it be intentional, and this is absolutely not true for Israel. Israel has no interest in harassing innocent citizens. The only reason there is a siege on Gaza is because it is the largest reservoir of terrorism on earth, most of which is hidden underground, mainly under hospitals and civilian buildings. It is easy to criticize Israel because it is indeed stronger than Gaza and Hamas, but pay attention - if this were not the case Israel would have already been destroyed, Hamas has the intention to destroy Israel but not the ability - that is the whole difference. If you had a threat of terrorism right across the fence, would the correct response have been to eliminate the problem? Or build defensive fortifications and ignore it? No wall or fence will help when Hamas is behind the fence. They dig tunnels and use paragliders to cross it, they shoot missiles. I am seriously asking: Is the correct response to ignore them? Defense fortifications in the style of Korea will not help in the case of Hamas either. Yes, there is a civilian population (which, by the way, is also largely in a red purple position in the spiral) and it is unfortunate to see it being harmed, but a threat like Hamas cannot continue to exist a few meters from civilian settlements, and as you said yourself, the way to cure cancer requires a painful price. Another important point - pay attention to where you get your sources of information, Hamas uses lies upon lies, inflates numbers and uses actors to present false images.
  2. It is true that military personnel are not supposed to express their personal opinion or give criticism. But you will be surprised to know that many senior military personnel in Israel sometimes express opposing positions to politicians, just yesterday the Chief of Staff implicitly criticized the fact that the government has not made a decision regarding ground entry for a long time. And there are other examples some of them are clear and direct criticism, the only "punishment" they usually get is criticism with words "that they should know their place" and not actual punishment.
  3. Leave the presentation, do you actually believe that Hamas does not use the population as a human shield? There is a lot of evidence for this. The military spokesperson goes on air twice a day and repeats the following sentence: "Citizens of Gaza, move south!" And there is a lot of evidence that Hamas is preventing the people from leaving by blocking roads and threats, they are afraid of losing their human shield. The Air Force scatters notes before the bombings so that civilians will evacuate. Regarding the credibility of the presentation: it is very unlikely that the army will present claims without evidence backed by intelligence (unlike a politician who may indeed lie).
  4. The main headquarters of Hamas is under the largest hospital in Gaza:
  5. Dogs and robotics probably, but getting inside is inevitable
  6. It seems that in a few months another entity will have to rule the Strip instead of Hamas, Israel will not want to stay there. Who do you think it will be? Is it really possible to create stability there without a terrorist organization developing there again?
  7. It works but you need at least 3,000$ to start if you are serious. I have a successful FBA store on Amazon and it took me some time the make it work, I lot some money before I began to earn something,
  8. Unfortunately no, this is also part of the corruption here. "Blue & white" party is planing to establish a law of term limit if they get elected.
  9. I'm also going to vote for "blue & white" tomorrow. I'm skeptical about our chances but if we succeed it will be life changing here in Israel.
  10. Yes, Go to Information --> Open backups --> look where is the folder with the backups --> copy and paste to any location
  11. With all the respect, I think this discussion became an agenda argument. If we consider ourself as an open minded community, why don't you ask quastions? You have here few Israelis (and a few pslastinens I hope) who actually live in Israel and served in the Army. I have got my experience directly from the army before anything even got to the media (the media is a distortion in Israel, but in Europe, US and other places it is completely disconnected) I am not going to argue with any one here because I know what I saw and experienced. If you really want to know the true, come and live here for a year, speak with the people on both sides and see for yourself. If you have questions and you really want to listen with open mind instead of just rejecting every perspective feel free to ask.
  12. The founder of Israel and it's first prime minister was a Spiral Dynamic stage yellow thinker. I live in Israel and just recently finished personal biography research of this incredible man. As a student of spiral dynamic, I immediately noticed how developed he was on the spiral- especially by the end of his life... Here are some amazing facts about him: - Spoke 11 different languages (including ancient Greek in order to study philosophy from the source!) - He had a collection of over 27,000 books in his 2 houses! In his house in Tel Aviv, the entire second floor is a privet library with a bedroom! The library contains 22,000 books from all over the world! the diversity of the books is shocking: Greek and Roman philosophy in the original languages, History books of dozens of countries (including USA, UK, India, China, and many other countries in Africa, South America and Asia which he all studied), Books about all religions, Spirituality, Nonduality, meditation, yoga, psychology, brain science, astronomy, biology, medic, physic and much more... So how can you read so much as a prime minister? During the nights... - You can actually go to his house in Tel Aviv (today it's a museum) and witness the books and even read from them inside the museum (on his will he asked to give people read from the books in the future so the museum allows it for free) - His houses were very simple and modest and he valued the simple kind of lifestyle (look at the pictures) - After living in Tel Aviv for a few decades and after he declared the state of Israel and was the first prime minister, he went to live in the middle of the desert in a small "Kibuts" (a form of collective community settlement in Israel), growing his own food, having chickens and a cow in his house, reading and writing, doing yoga and meditating. - He traveled to Burma and India doing meditation retreats and practicing yoga. During his journey, he met with monks and enlightenment masters. - One of the most famous pictures of him is the "head standing" on the beach of Tel Aviv, Today there is a statue of him doing it (look at the pictures) - One of his best friends was Albert Einstein, they shared many ideas and Ben Gurion even asked Einstein to be the president of Israel! (In Israel, the president is mainly representative, and the prime minister is the one who actually runs the country). By the way, Einstein said no... - By the end of his life, he gave a British reporter an interview in English in his house in the desert (6 hours long) which turned into a 2 hours movie called "Epilog"- only when you hear him talk you can really understand what I'm talking about. Some quotes: "God? it's not the one in the bible, it's everywhere" "I don't believe in just a physical world there is much more magic than that in here" "Through yoga, man learns to control his body better - in his internal and external organs and in this way in his spirit as well" Ben Gurion was not enlightenment and during most of his life, he dealt with political issues and his main vision was to establish a state. In addition, he definitely had some spiral dynamic stage orange and green ideology, but he was also a true seeker who realized the fact that there is more to this reality than black and white thinking, especially by the end of his life just like Einstein and Maslow were. This post is just an introduction for you, If you want to know the full story go read his biography (the best one is of Michael Bar Zohar). In addition, watch the movie "Epilog".
  13. Here it is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5934542/ It's one of the most fascinating interviews I have ever watched
  14. I'm sorry for the wrong spelling, the name is: "Epilogue" Definitely dangerous and full of complicated challenges like many other cases in history, but Inevitable. Looking to the future, we need systemic solutions to the problems here- It will take time.
  15. Day 67 Feeling great!! Doing a lot of research about nutrition and health.
  16. Hey guys, I have been drinking coffee for the last 9 years of my life (ages 18-27). After a long research about the subject and about my own body and personal needs, I decided to quit coffee entirely. This is not a protest against coffee or an attempt to convince anyone to be like me. This is a personal decision I made after long research and personal contemplation process with myself about my own body. During the contemplation process, the insight just came me: I drink coffee not because it tastes good but just in order to get the "feel good" effect and in order to escape the pain of my emotions (In most cases it is just a quick shot of espresso I take although I don't even like the taste! like a medicine) More insights I had about the disadvantages: Causing fast metabolism (while I'm trying to gain weight as a skinny guy) The alertness, focus and good mood effect does not always occur to me and even if they do it is for a short period of time In many cases I get the exact opposite effect: feeling tired, dehydrated, unfocused, feeling down and depressed. Increases stress and anxiety In high doses increasing heart rate and making me feel really bad I feel I depend on it and like I can't start the day without it It affects my schedule (I "need" coffee to wake up / to concentrate on a task / to feel good) It takes a lot of my time and attention during the day (where is the coffee?) Insomnia Money (capsules, coffee beans, coffee machines + maintaining, buying coffee on the street) My goal is to avoid coffee completely for the next 90 days, And after that- for life. You are more than welcome to support me during this process!
  17. Day 54 My family thinks I'm going crazy with all the new food. Today my father asked me why the hell did I sell my lovely new coffee machine- I told him everything and he was shocked. @flowboy Thanks man- I do have some amazing insights from this process.
  18. Day 52 It is just unbelievable for me to see the amount of growth possible just from one simple thing like giving up coffee. I changed my entire perspective not only on coffee but on my entire body and the way I see nutrition. I read 3 books about nutrition in the last few weeks and changed my entire diet, I feel like I still have a lot to learn and this diary could definitely be called "giving up coffee, meat, dairy, gluten, salt and sugar- 90 days challenge" I increased dramatically the amount of fresh organic fruits and vegetables I eat every day and began to exercise more often. I never thought this process will become so powerful... and it is still just the beginning.
  19. Day 41 I did a radical change in my entire diet. It's the most radical shift I have ever done in my life, the coffee was just the starting point. I began to exercise on a regular basis, eat plant base very clean organic food and eliminated gluten. I feel amazing with my body!
  20. Day 36 Decided to sell my expensive new coffee machine (it is really new). I feel bad about selling it because I was really excited about it and developed some emotional connection to it. However, I just know I will never drink coffee again so I'm just gonna do it.
  21. Day 33 I feel full of energy so much energy! All rehab symptoms are gone! Eating fresh organic fruits in the morning gives you so much more! and it is even tastier!
  22. Day 26 Today I became so aware of my old coffee habit that I couldn't believe I actually did it to myself and my body. To the level I began to guilt myself for doing it all these years. I just feel regret and I will never drink coffee again in my life. I'm sorry for being so negative but I feel like it is a necessary part of my process.
