(Harbinger’s Daily)—In response to the Israel-Gaza war and the ongoing tension between the Israelis and Palestinians, the proposal of a two-state solution is again on the table as a viable way of bringing peace to the region. Is this idea reality or fantasy?
Some historical background assists in answering this question. First, what is the two-state solution? As far back as 1937, Britain suggested splitting what was left of British Mandate Palestine into an Arab state in the south and a Jewish state in the north, with Jerusalem as an international zone. Britain saw this plan as an expression of its commitment to the Jewish people as voiced in the 1917 Balfour Declaration, as well as a solution to the uncontrolled violence in the region.
The Arabs (they did not call themselves Palestinians until 1967–68) rejected the proposal; and Britain realized that it demanded the forced relocation of large populations, which was not viable.
Carving Up the Territory
After World War II, the newly formed United Nations on November 29, 1947, passed Resolution 181 to partition British Mandate Palestine into two entities: one Arab, one Jewish. The Jewish leaders welcomed the UN plan; the Arab leaders rejected it. On May 14, 1948, the 30-year-old British Mandate expired. The British left the region; and Israel declared statehood, leading to the War of Independence as Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Transjordan (now Jordan) all attacked the fledgling Jewish 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.
