Yeah, I would expect that. So obnoxious.
I figure the US govt will have to pay them handsomely to leave. Probably give them wallets full of $TRUMP.
Sure seems that way. But the Jews will deny it. They are the victims.
Seems like Trump and Netanyahu are prepared to make them leave. I could be wrong, and I sincerely hope they can hang in there.
I could read the sarcasm. No one wants to sort this thing out. Israel just wants them to go away.
Doesn't seem like healing is the priority. Egypt stays on the State Department funding list so they will take the Palestinians. They will cease to exist. They will become Egyptians. If I live in the West Bank, I am very concerned.
How bad are they taking it?
People like Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats calling for people to fight back against the loss of DEI and funding (presumably USAID). Summer's the time for rioting.
Sounds like we're in for an interesting summer.
Is gold hitting ATHs when adjusted for inflation?
It was virtually the only asset Gaza had, and given that Israel is monetizing its Med reserves (of roughly the same size), it's difficult to buy that it will never be extracted.
This was never about Oct 7. That was the excuse. So, no. I don't think I will. This has been about driving out the Palestinians since 1948 and claiming the land.
That's what the IMF literally does. It funds power plant projects around the world that countries can't afford.
It was more than contractual legitimacy. Israel wanted them dependent.
Israel is pumping enough natural gas out of the Med to supply itself and Jordan. If it wasn't a factor why was Israel preventing Gaza from extracting it?
October 7 was terrible, but it's bigger than that. AIPAC own the US Congress. The US doesn't owe Israel anything, but Likud acts like it. Netanyahu needs to answer for Oct 7, but no one seems to care. Instead we get a crushed Gaza, a river to the sea outcome for Israel, and Europe by the balls.
(1 trillion cubic feet) It was enough to provide all the power Gaza needed plus opportunity for export. So compared to the US reserves (about 700 trillion cubic feet), you're right.
For the Gazans, though, it was huge. It could have meant energy independence for some time. It was big enough for Israel to block its extraction.
