Off the top of my head, here is an example of a system for a single person: 10% on the first $50,000 of taxable income 20% on the second...

This is the first I've ever heard anyone claim that these settlements increase Israel's defense. I've never heard anyone claim that nor have I...
The settlements have ZERO military value. These are not military bases but residential enclaves and complexes built on land Israel stole from...
How does my logic lead one to conclude that USA it not a country??? The occupied lands are certainly controlled by Israel militarily but when...
