The Invention of the Jewish People
Like every other people and nation, Jews are a mix of different communities. Some communities have no genetic connection with the main tribes (Ashkenazi, Sepharadi) and are probably converts from a long-forgotten event. The Ethiopians for example have no drop of Jewish blood. In Israel, businesses where you can send a sample and they tell you who were your ancestors and if you have unknown brothers and relatives, are totally forbidden. You can send a sample to America and receive information about your American relatives. But not in Israel. I imagine that that is because this information would create severe family conflicts and even ethnic wars, as the Ashkenazi government of the fifties has been accused of arranging the secret adoption of babies of ignorant, semi-retarded, helpless Yemeni immigrants to childless sterilized European women. The intention was to make justice because the Yemenis had too many children that were unable to educate, while the adopted babies would be grown up in educated environments, like a kibbutz. The Social Service is still doing those transfers from addict parents, but it is done through a complicated bureaucratic and judicial process, like in any other Western democracy, but it is possible that during the independence war era, it was done without proper consent.
In our woke time, genetic identification is done super-carefully, except maybe in America, where they are truly honest and non-racists. Finding African ancestors can even help to be accepted into top universities and jobs. Here the idea is that we are one people, all children of Abraham, Itzhak and Yaakov, and it is useless to research further.

Stress
Had planned to finish this RGan project on Sunday but I wasted time on other urgent pichifkes and now I am like catatonic and cannot focus on the idiotic project. Maybe God will send me a clear mind and the will to work. Feel bad.

Disappointment
The market expects ICL Group (ICL) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2023. The earnings report is expected on May 10, 2023, and might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move even lower.
The fact is that today Saturday the stock is sinking. The AI that manages most big funds thinks that ICL will be almost worthless. I am shocked by reality, I had FAITH in POTASH. Where is Mr Doyle who organized the potash cartel years ago?

Potash market getting used to the war
The Israeli Potash mining company's shares are 20% of my portfolio. The current price is LOWER than the average purchasing price, so I am losing in real terms some 30-40%. Hope the potash market is resuscitating, although the price 422 $ is nothing to be happy about. Last year it was 750 $.
The market is being mismanaged and I am losing money.

Company Registration: Where?
A young relative is creating a start-up in the electronic money universe and they had already received investment money. He asked me where to register the start-up. I have no idea. Friedman established his bank in the Bahamas, so there must be a reason for that. Many prefer Cyprus, which is 30 minutes fly from Tel Aviv and is reachable also by a small boat. Israel is AAA+++ but the large protests against Netanyahu may discredit the country. My seventy years of experience says that those who bet on Israel were rewarded, and those of little faith, who put their money on Venezuela, Argentina, Rhodesia, South Africa, and other goyish countries, lost very badly.
