Replying to nobody

i think we are seeing the confluence of a few different things

i think the lens of "water wars" is a good one re: entire region

i think the offshore oil lens is a good one

my frontrunner is canal theory

evergreen's ever given (cháng cì lún) running aground in the suez on 23 March 2021 was proof of concept re: what this chokepoint looks like while out-of-commission for only 6 days. tied up goods worth an estimated US$9.6 billion per day. i dont have that number of the estimated cost of the knock-on effects caused by ever given in total. (is hard proof of the logistical "necessity" of genocide in gaza one such knock-on effect?)

plans for a competing canal, the vision that this canal can compete with the suez keeping prices in check & while providing redundancy as resilience, solving the problem completely,

no longer "A Single Point of Failure" between the med & the red sea, goes thru gaza. need a permanently stable ethnically cleansed gaza to fund a project like that.

it is very possible my "bare minimum" bar for finding a logic, however twisted, to 'justify' agreement for this from a business standpoint is a lot higher than i estimate it would have to be to 'justify'

to me: nothing on this planet

nothing in this whole world

justifies genocide

genocide is unjustifiable

but my bare minimum logic with my bar in the hell beneath hells may still be with eyes of generosity on my end beyond my fathoming. i truly have no idea. for all i know there is a guy somewhere who flips a quarter after taking some bets & that settles it & then he goes back to constructing his alligator bone chandelier.

"if there is that guy,

is that guy on earth, in another dimension inbetween ours, or is that your pseudonym for God?"

idk i think the reader can interpret it on multiple levels & the author is open to whatever possibility
