French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent comments about Israel have raised eyebrows and sparked controversy. His statements reveal a concerning lack of understanding about Israel’s history and current geopolitical realities. Let’s explore five crucial aspects that Macron seems to have overlooked:
1. Israel’s birth: More than just a UN resolution
Macron’s assertion that Israel was “created by a decision of the UN” grossly oversimplifies a complex historical process. While the United Nations did play a role, Israel’s establishment was far more nuanced and hard-fought:
The UN General Assembly passed Resolution 181 in November 1947, recommending the partition of Mandatory Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. However, this was merely a non-binding recommendation, not a legally binding creation of a state. The Arab states promptly rejected this partition plan, setting the stage for conflict.
Israel’s actual birth came through a series of pivotal events:
- David Ben-Gurion’s declaration of independence on May 14, 1948
- The subsequent 1948 Arab-Israeli War, also known as Israel’s War of Independence
- The sacrifice and determination of Jewish fighters who defended the nascent state […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
