Amigos. La sociedad judía israelí NO se divide simplemente entre ortodoxos y ateos como muchos creen. 🇮🇱 | #israel - En primer lugar, en cuanto a religión, la sociedad judía israelí se divide básicamente entre no-religiosos (49%), tradicionalistas creyentes (29%), religiosos (13%) y ortodoxos (9%). - Por otra parte, los no-religiosos no son precisamente solo ateos (como cree la gente) sino que los hay seculares, agnósticos y por último ateos. - Un israelí secular es un no-creyente pero que suele celebrar las fiestas religiosas y las tradiciones culturales judías. - Por otro lado, un israelí agnóstico considera que si bien la existencia del Dios del Tanaj no es comprobable, no lo niega y sigue guardando las tradiciones religiosas judías por sentido de pertenencia al Pueblo Judío. Y lo mismo con los judíos ateos. - Tengamos en cuenta que el judaísmo NO es solo una religión sino una identidad nacional completa. Es una forma de vida, de expresión cultural, filosófica y ética, y el Tanaj es nuestra historia común y no solo un libro religioso. - Por último recordar que los judíos somos el 76.3% de la población israelí, pero el resto de la misma es árabe y profesa otras religiones o ninguna. Shalom. Paz para Israel.

i won’t interview tucker carlson or appear on his show. too many instances of disinformation and bad faith to merit platforming in my view.

One of our customers just answered their millionth call with Phonely. So to say thank you, our team is biking ~500 miles from San Francisco to their office in LA tomorrow. 🧵

We raised a $16M Series A to fix the biggest blind spot in business: phone calls. $2 billion is transacted over the phone every day. And most companies have zero insight into what's happening on those calls. Why? There's no analytics. No optimization. No way to know what's working and what's losing you money. So we built the optimization engine from scratch. Voice agents that sound human. A/B testing for phone calls. The most advanced voice AI analytics on the market. One customer generated $10M in net new revenue in three months. We've gone from hundreds of calls to millions. Outperforming the best human reps. Getting better every day. Every business leader keeps getting asked: how will you use AI? Now you have an answer. Start with the phone. Optimize your calls with @phonely_ai . -- Excited to partner with @Base10Partners, @ycombinator, and more to build the future of voice.

If true, this could be a game changer … for #Israel and the region

NEW: Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons issue joint statement defending NATO after Donald Trump said he’s “strongly considering” withdrawing the U.S. from the alliance: “The only time NATO has gone to war has been in response to an attack on America. NATO troops fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq alongside American forces. The United States must not take this sacrifice – nor our allies’ commitment to make it again – lightly. “Alliance disputes are as old as the alliance itself. Americans are safer when NATO is strong and united. It is in our interest for all allies to tend this unity with care. The United States joined NATO in 1949 when the Senate voted to ratify the NATO treaty, and the United States will remain in it. The Senate will continue to support the alliance for the peace and protection it provides America, Europe, and the World.”

@rmo54 La única razón por la que puedan haber decidido detener dos portacontenedores chinos es que como parte de sus rutas hagan escala en puertos de EEUU o Israel. Espero que ninguno de ellos transporte mi pedido a TEMU 😵‍💫

Viendo a este portacontenedores arder me he puesto a leer sobre los países con pase libre a través del Estrecho de Ormuz: 🇮🇷🫂🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇳🇪🇸 1. Derecho de paso para Rusia, China e India a cambio de apoyo político, comprensible teniendo en cuenta que son las tres grandes potencias del bloque de los no alineados. 2. Luego tenemos a ¡oh, sopresa! España! El único país en Occidente con libre paso, y que además ha recibido un efusivo agradecimiento del régimen por el apoyo político. - Es de lo más surrealista que España, uno de los paises mas woke de Occidente, sea elogiado por un régimen que ha eliminado a unos 30.000 opositores, y que es considerado uno de los más opresivos del mundo para las mujeres y para el sector LGBT. 3. Luego tenemos el caso de Pakistán, que también se comprende pues es el país mediador en las actuales conversaciones entre Irán y EEUU.

BREAKING: Trump just invited China to send warships to protect the waterway China is using to replace the dollar. Read his Truth Social post carefully. It is the most strategically loaded sentence of the war. “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated.” The invitation is a trap. Every possible Chinese response damages China. If Beijing sends warships, it legitimises an American-led coalition, subordinates Chinese naval power to US command architecture, and abandons its diplomatic neutrality with Iran, the country currently offering China yuan-only passage through the Strait that everyone else is locked out of. China loses its shadow fleet advantage, its discounted Iranian crude, and its CIPS leverage in a single deployment. If Beijing refuses, it confirms what Washington wants the world to see: that China is willing to let the global economy burn rather than contribute to the security of the waterway that carries 45% of its own crude imports. Every nation paying $96 a barrel while China pays less through yuan-settled shadow fleet deliveries will note who showed up and who did not. The free-rider narrative writes itself, and America writes the next chapter of dollar dominance with it. Trump named six countries. Five are allies or partners: Japan is signing Golden Dome in five days, France operates from Djibouti, the UK from Bahrain, South Korea has direct Hormuz energy exposure. Their participation is expected. China’s participation is the question, and the question is the weapon. While 16 million barrels of Iranian crude have transited to China since 28 February through shadow tankers settling in yuan, while CIPS processed $24.5 trillion in 2025 at 43% growth, while Iran offered to reopen the Strait exclusively for yuan cargo, Trump posted a sentence that forces China to choose between its shadow economy and its public legitimacy. The post also contains an admission that no briefing has delivered. “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.” The President of the United States just acknowledged that total military victory does not equal total waterway security. Iran’s military is destroyed. The coastline is not. A defeated nation with a 33-kilometre shoreline, $500 mines, and $20,000 drones can deny passage through the world’s most important chokepoint indefinitely because the weapons of denial are cheaper than the weapons of dominance. “In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline.” Bomb the coast. Shoot the boats. And hope that six nations send warships to escort tankers that have no insurance, no P&I coverage, and no private-sector willingness to transit a waterway the President himself admits a defeated nation can still threaten. The coalition call is not about Iran. Iran’s military is destroyed. The coalition call is about the world that emerges after Iran. If America escorts the tankers alone, the Strait reopens under American control and dollar pricing survives. If a coalition escorts them, the Strait reopens under international consensus and the yuan-for-Hormuz proposal dies. If nobody escorts them, the Strait stays closed and China’s shadow fleet is the only commerce moving through it. Trump is not asking for help. He is asking every nation to declare which monetary system they want the Strait to operate under when the war ends. The warships are the ballot. The Strait is the polling station. And the currency is the vote. Full analysis in the link! open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else’s life. Do not let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. —Steve Jobs

Iran built a military designed to fight without a head. Now it cannot stop fighting because the head is gone. The Mosaic Doctrine divides the IRGC into 31 autonomous provincial commands, one per province, each with pre-delegated authority, local weapons stockpiles, independent decision-making, and sealed orders that activate upon central command failure. The doctrine was formalised after the Iran-Iraq War for one purpose: ensure that the decapitation of Iranian leadership does not stop the Iranian military from fighting. It was designed to survive exactly what happened on 28 February. The Supreme Leader is dead. His successor cannot stand. The defence industrial base is rubble. The communication infrastructure that would transmit a ceasefire has been degraded by 15,000 strikes. And the 31 commands are still firing. Not because someone is ordering them to fire. Because the doctrine orders them to fire until someone orders them to stop, and the someone who would order them to stop is in a hospital bed issuing written statements through a television anchor. The Quds Force overlays the Mosaic with a second network: the proxy architecture. Hezbollah in Lebanon launches hundreds of rockets at Israel. The Houthis in Yemen attack Red Sea shipping and fire at Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Iraqi PMF militias, Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, strike American bases in Iraq and Syria. The coordination flows through secure fibre-optic lines, satellite backups, encrypted applications, and physical couriers carrying cash and operational directives. Funding: $100 to $350 million annually through tunnel smuggling, cryptocurrency wallets, and Hezbollah intermediaries. The proxies have hit American diplomatic facilities. A missile struck the US Embassy helipad in Baghdad. Two Iranian drones hit the US Embassy compound in Riyadh, starting fires. A drone struck near the US Consulate in Dubai. The Kuwait Embassy closed under threat. Three to four verified diplomatic incidents across the region, each producing limited damage but each crossing a line that has governed international conflict since the 1961 Vienna Convention: you do not strike embassies. And then Hamas, the proxy Iran armed and funded for seventeen years, issued a public statement asking Iran to stop targeting neighbouring countries. The organisation that started the war the Mosaic Doctrine is now perpetuating told its patron to stand down. The Axis of Resistance is arguing in public for the first time since its creation. The fracture reveals the Mosaic Doctrine’s fatal design flaw. The system was built for survival, not termination. It ensures that 31 commands continue fighting after decapitation. It does not contain a mechanism for 31 commands to simultaneously stop. Each command fires under sealed orders with local authority. No central node can broadcast a ceasefire because the central node was the target of the first strike. The doctrine that makes Iran impossible to defeat also makes Iran impossible to negotiate with because the entity that would accept terms does not control the entities that would implement them. Hezbollah fires because its orders predate the ceasefire that does not exist. The Houthis fire because their funding pipeline operates independently of any command they would obey. The Iraqi PMF fires because the militias answer to local commanders who answer to a Quds Force whose leader is in a bunker. And the 31 provincial commands fire because the doctrine says fire and nobody with authority has said stop. The war’s most dangerous feature is not what Iran can still launch. It is what Iran can no longer recall. The machine was built to run without an operator. The operator is gone. The machine is running. And the off switch was never installed because the doctrine’s designers believed the machine should never be turned off. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

What do the happiest, healthiest and longest living people have in common? It’s not fame, fortune or status. Academic research gives us the definitive answer. The main conclusion of Harvard's nearly 87-year-long Study of Adult Development (one of the longest studies of adult life ever conducted) is that strong, meaningful relationships are the single most important predictor of long-term happiness, health, and a long life. It’s not wealth, fame, social class, IQ, or even genes that determine well-being as we age—it's the quality of our connections.

A masterclass on conflict resolution by Steve Jobs

BREAKING: Germany’s Foreign Minister just stood in Jerusalem and said what no European leader has said in twelve days of war: “Iran’s main political goal is to eliminate the State of Israel. And this cannot be neglected, especially not by the German government.” Johann Wadephul did not say this as opinion. He said it as constitutional obligation. Germany operates under a doctrine called Staatsräson, reason of state, which declares Israel’s security non-negotiable and integral to Germany’s own existence as a nation. Angela Merkel codified it at the Knesset on 18 March 2008: “This historical responsibility is part of the reason of state of my country. The security of Israel is never negotiable for me as German chancellor.” Every chancellor since has repeated it verbatim. Scholz after 7 October. Merz throughout 2025. Wadephul on 10 March in Jerusalem while Iranian missiles were still falling on Tel Aviv. This is not rhetoric. It is the largest defence relationship Israel has outside the United States, and it is accelerating during the war. Germany is purchasing the Arrow-3 missile defence system from Israel, the first non-American country to do so, in a deal totalling 6.5 to 6.7 billion euros including a 3.1 billion euro expansion signed in late 2025. Germany signed a 2.3 billion dollar contract for Spike anti-tank missiles through the EuroSpike consortium. A further 6 billion euro rocket-launcher package is in procurement. In February 2026, the Bundeswehr and IDF signed what both sides called a “first-of-its-kind” cooperation agreement integrating lessons from Gaza, joint exercises, and cyber-defence coordination. Bilateral trade hit 8.8 billion euros in 2025. The Holocaust created a debt. Staatsräson converted that debt into policy. The Iran war is converting that policy into weapons systems, training pipelines, and industrial integration that will outlast any ceasefire. And it is fracturing Europe in half. Germany allowed Ramstein Air Base access for operations. Spain evicted US aircraft and condemned the strikes. Chancellor Merz said Germany shares “many of the goals” with Washington and will not “lecture” allies. The EU’s March 1 emergency statement called for “utmost concern” and “maximum restraint” without endorsing or condemning the operation. Von der Leyen called for a “credible transition” in Iran, regime-change language that 26 other member states did not sign. Iran warned that any EU state joining operations becomes a “legitimate target.” The EU is not divided by this war. It is divided by 1945. Germany cannot criticise Israel because of what Germany did eighty years ago. Spain can criticise because it carries no Holocaust debt. The same historical event that created the State of Israel now prevents the largest EU economy from questioning how that state conducts war. Staatsräson was designed for diplomacy. It is now governing defence procurement, alliance positioning, and the EU’s inability to speak with one voice while fertilizer prices spike 29%, Hormuz stays closed, and the 31 IRGC commands that no one can stop continue firing at the country whose security Germany declared non-negotiable. The deepest wound of the twentieth century is shaping the arms deals of the twenty-first. And Europe cannot agree on whether to bandage it or reopen it.

Steve Jobs on how to give feedback to high performers when their work is simply not good enough; giving difficult feedback without causing resentments is a superpower.

IRANIAN MISSILE UP CLOSE: Standing beside the fuel tank of an Iranian missile that landed in Tel Aviv, Israel, CBS News' @CBSMATTGUTMAN shows us the sophistication and sheer size of the missiles Iran has been firing at Israel and the Gulf states. Gutman explains how these sorts of missiles, which contain 40-pound bomblets capable of dispersing explosives and shrapnel "over miles and miles when they land," wouldn't be used on precise military targets. "The only purpose for ... those types of bombs, is to harm civilian populations," Gutman reports.

@Defensa_Israel Too little to late!!!!

El Canal 12 de #Israel informa que el gobierno de #Qatar tiene la intención de expulsar a los dirigentes de Hamas que viven en su territorio por haberse negado a condenar los ataques iraníes contra el país que los acoge y financia desde hace 16 años. 🇶🇦🔥🇵🇸🇮🇷
