Why did Ron Dermer decide to become a traitor to the U.S.?
Dermer was born to a wealthy and influential Florida family. He was a Republican operative as soon as he graduated from college. He might have become Florida governor or senator someday. Then he decided he liked Israel better than America and moved to Israel. Now he's returned to America in order to get us to fight a war that entirely for Israel's sake that had exactly zero benefit for America. (And just admit it neocons- you know that you support war against Iran only because Israel is telling us to fight them.) Can we send him back to Israel and demand the Israelites send us a diplomat who's not a U.S. traitor.
How can I become a governor in India?
Governor is the state counterpart of President. His powers are similar to that of President but on the state level. Governors exist in the state while lieutenant-governors exist in UTs although both are vested with same powers.Article 157 and Article 158 of the Constitution of India specify eligibility requirements for the post of governor. They are as follows:A governor must:be a citizen of India.be at least 35 years of age.not be a member of the either house of parliament or house of state legislature.not hold any office of profit.They are appointed by President for a tenure of five years on the recommendation of the Union Council of Ministers or the President.Hence, to become the Governor of a state, you need to be an eminent personality with a contribution towards society. Although now a days, the post has become more of a consolation prize for people with good contacts who get defeated in elections.

Did Israel create Hamas?
The short answer is NO.Hamas was created by Palestinians from the “Muslim Brotherhood”, having the back of some Sunni Muslim countries and taking advantage of the fragile situation among the Palestinians (and the overall rising in Islamism over secular-Arabism).We also saw some sparks of that in the 80s in Syria, where Khafez Al-Assad slaughtered thousands of conservative Muslims in Hama1982 Hama massacre - WikipediaThe new generation of Palestinians became more conservative and less enthusiastic of the idea of Arab Nationalism.The question should be that - Did Israel contribute in any form to the creation of Hamas?The answer is YES.Because Israel didn't assume Hamas would become such a threat to Israel and the PLO will become peaceful.Israel used the same strategy of other countries by letting Radical Muslims to arm themselves and gain power over secular groups.Israel realized very late how dangerous Hamas is.In the 90s, at the height of peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, Hamas tried to interfere and turn the Israeli public against the peace process - by carrying out massive and deadly terror attacks all over Israel, attacks that will never be forgotten by the Israelis.One of these attacks, was in my town - Beit Lid suicide bombing - Wikipedia:On 22 January 1995, at approximately 9:30 am, a Palestinian suicide bomber, disguised as an Israeli soldier, approached the bus stop at the Beit Lid junction in central Israel. The bus stop was full of Israeli soldiers who were on their way to their bases after their weekend vacation. The suicide bomber walked into the crowd and detonated the hidden explosives belt he was wearing. About three minutes later a second suicide bomber exploded at the same spot, killing and injuring people wounded in the first explosion, as well as bystanders who had rushed to the scene to assist the victims of the first explosion.So if one explosion wasn’t enough, they bombed minutes after when paramedics came to the scene to help the injured.This is their real nature, and this is what they are dedicated to. And Israel would never support such organization.Since then, Israel is having a tough war against this organization and its leaders.
What is the capital city of Israel?
Seriously? What's the capital of the State of New York?If you answered New York City you are wrong. It is Albany.That is where the Governor is and the legislature and the treasury and all the government offices.Some people might like to think it is NYC, after all, its the BIG APPLE, right?Too bad. It's Albany. Facts are facts.The capital of Israel is JERUSALEM, not Tel Aviv. Sorry.That is where the Knesset (the Parliament) is.That is where the Prime Minister lives and works.That is where the President lives and works.That is where the Supreme court is, and all the government ministries.That is the fact, and facts are facts!And guess what, it has been since December 1949!At the time Jerusalem was divided into West Jerusalem and East Jerusalem. East Jerusalem was under Jordanian rule from 1949 through 1967, and yet [West]Jerusalem was Israel's capital! Amazing right?And you know what else, if Israel withdraws from every inch of East Jerusalem, then the Knesset would still be in Jerusalem and the PM would still live and work in Jerusalem, and so would the President, and the Supreme court would still be there too, and when the US moves its embassy to West Jerusalem it will still be there too, because West Jerusalem is undisputably part of Israel.So if the UN wants to screw Israel over, fine, but the argument that somehow recognizing the fact that West Jerusalem is Israel's capital, and has been for nearly 70 years, will make negotiating a settlement with the Palestinians over East Jerusalem more complicated, is total BS. On the contrary, taking West Jerusalem out of the equation simplifies solving the problem of East Jerusalem, and shows just a teeny bit of goodwill towards the citizens of Israel, and the way things stand very few citizens of Israel think the Palestinians have any interest in Peace with Israel, so a little goodwill couldn't hurt.
Why does Israel have a prime minister and not a president?
Israel does have a president.The president in Israel is elected by the parliament every seven years. The president is mostly a symbolic and ceremonial role with little executive authority. The most significant executive roles that the president does have are these:Deciding who will be the prime minister after the parliament elections, because only parties are elected and not people. This is sometimes a non-trivial decision: for example, in 2009 the president appointed Benjamin Netanyahu prime minister, even though Netanyahu's party came second.Granting pardon to convicts.Other than this, the president's role is largely ceremonial.The Israeli system, in which the prime minister has the executive power while the president is mostly symbolic, is not unique. Germany, Italy, Turkey and many other countries have similar systems.
Would the choice of Mike Huckabee to be ambassador to Israel charged with moving the embassy to Jerusalem be considered a provocative move?
For some reason people concentrate on minor things, and ignore the major stuff.The promise to move the Embassy to Jerusalem is a pledge most American politicians gave at some point in time, none kept. It is a ritual. The fact Trump gave it is a non-event.However when was the last time an Ambassador to the rather small country of Israel was a former Governor and twice former presidential aspirant? The last five were either career ambassadors, or foreign policy experts of Jewish faith who therefor could speak Hebrew. It doesn’t look that the job was seen as a major stepping stone. And here you have a 61yo ex-Governor who likely still hopes to become a President one day.Is it a major fact-finding mission to become proficient in foreign affairs? Does he want to achieve something?
