The images coming out of Gaza this week - flooded tents, displaced families and people suffering in the rain - were entirely predictable. Winter is not a surprise and hundreds of thousands of people are living in makeshift tents, while Gaza faces severe sewage and drainage problems.

None of this needed to happen like this. Smart policy is about anticipating problems before they become crises. Israel should have prepared months ago, allowing in temporary housing units, better tents and the infrastructure needed to get people through the winter.

Instead, the government did not and now, rather than being seen as a country that anticipated a humanitarian crisis and acted responsibly to prevent it, Israel looks like it is responding to international pressure.

Is Hamas to blame for the situation in Gaza? Yes. If it disarmed - as it is supposed to under the @BoardOfPeace plan - would the situation change? Of course. But we do not have the luxury to wait for that. With a little foresight, strategic planning and basic compassion, Israel could have prevented the diplomatic pressure that has inevitably arrived.

Israel is rapidly challenging France in Morocco's lucrative defense market. In 2021–2025, Israel accounted for 24% of Morocco's major arms imports, compared to just 10% for France.

Morocco chose Israeli artillery over additional French systems and reportedly selected Israeli reconnaissance satellites to replace French-built ones.

In case you were wondering why France has been so active in promoting boycotts of Israeli defense companies.

David Sacks reveals how the GOP alienated Joe Rogan and alternative media

SACKS: "We lost all the podcast bros. I mean, obviously, it was Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan and Theo Von and that whole set. Megyn Kelly. So, you know, a house divided against itself cannot stand. I mean, we lost a huge part of our base. And I would say that the Republicans in particular are dependent on the podcast circuit. Let's call it alternative media. Why? Because the mainstream media hates us. Legacy media hates us. They will never give us a fair shot. And they're 90% left. So it is what it is."

"Yeah. And I think one of the reasons why Trump produced such a resounding victory in 2024 is he appealed to that whole podcasting circuit. And frankly, we should have done a better job giving them all front row seats in the White House press room. We should have stayed connected to all of them because they are our media."

"By the way, they don't work for us. They're willing to defect, obviously. They have their own opinions. But we have to pay attention. I think our side has to pay a lot of attention to them because without them, we don't have any media that supports us. So I think that losing them was a big deal. It fueled the sense. And I think that a lot of those people showed up and then did a protest vote because they wanted to send the message that they want out of this war."
