This is too depressing. But if it helps at all, REAL inflation (not the official version) has caused the US$ to drop 24% in real value between 2023 and 2024. That doesn't change the fact that some people will do just about anything for money.

But, for a little perspective, Iran went through hell after the Revolution between the Israeli/US-generated Iran-Iraq War, serious sanctions which caused incredible inflation no Westerner has seen since WWII, etc. But it's riding high now. So I wouldn't bet against Palestine even now.

Clearly Biden is trying to pull out all the rabbits that are in his hat to entertain the children and it's very easy to control their attention. But the fact is that the US dollar is in free-fall. And it's coming soon with the commercial real estate bubble about to pop. The dollar was strong but it can handle only so many pressures.

As Israel was given all the rope it wanted (and hung itself), so too will the US. Moderation and self-control are essential qualities for survival. Neither has either.

It is not an accident that both the US and Israel are extremely young countries. As some of us know, the young can be incredibly stupid.

Does anyone know Israel's real excessive death rate post-COVID vaccine roll-out or even just in 2023-24?

This story is dated October 2023. Already Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu, had been moving their money outside of Israel since 2022. Their economy was already in trouble before Hamas did anything. The Bank of "Israel" had to shore up the value of the shekel even then by buying $30 billion in "foreign exchange". This was presumably in response to destabilizing of the economy when Netanyahu tried to limit the power of the Supreme Court and all those demos began. It has all the signs of a sinking ship, in addition to Netanyahu's personality defects.

Hello Vanessa, thank you for all your work.

I was wondering, besides geopolitics or business .. there are human soldiers throwing bombs, shooting at, driving bulldozers crushing down houses and tents... I just can't get my head around so much evil. Isn't there any resistance? Any soldier or officer saying "this has to stop" or "I'm not collaborating, this has gone too far"? Are they all indoctrinated or drugged or so well paid that they just shrug shoulders and continue to kill? What is happening in the Israeli population? Are at least some protesting? Political opposition, if there is any, do they protest?

Could you give us some picture of what is going on Israeli side?

Thanks, God bless and be safe!

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. It's worth watching a documentary called Israelism that coverd indoctrination of Zionists from kindergarten in Israel. It is an ideology based on ethno-supremacy and hatred, very similar to the Nazis.

I'm originally from Ethiopia, grew up in UK, been to the occupied territories in 2008/09 with a g4lroup of french volunteers, to Bilin a little town im Cisjordanie to help Palestinian tend to their olive trees. I have seen the racisme and the hate oozing from those young soldiers. I fear there's no solution to Palestine but brute force. They either capitulate and die or they defend themselves. Sad truth unfortunately.

If the shekel lost 25% of its value between January 2022 and October 2023 in relation to the $ and presuming they bought $30 billion to shore up the shekel then. And the $ has lost 25% of its value since October 2023. It stands to reason that the shekel has actually lost 50% of its value since January 2022.
