Well, ‘take your pants off’ does kinda confirm their intention to commit sexual violence, does it not?



Above: A Hamas dictionary forgotten in a kibbutz home. Occupants disappeared. 

There is a war going on in the South and occasionally, the booms of rockets and anti-rockets exploding in the sky above. I may have lost a few clients in the South, including Kfar Aza and Ashkelon, buy I am still fully occupied. My problem is the fact that I am working from home, and I have an irrepressible bored woman here who is bothering me all day. One of my sons in law is in the army in the Northern frontier, the other is in a logistics branch somewhere in Israel. I am not worried, what unexpected may befell on me at age 77? So, I keep working and sending out bills.

The USS Gerald Ford fighting planet

The American nuclear warship is stationed in front of our shores, waiting for the opportunity to enter into the fight. The Royal Navy is moving to the East Mediterranean to join the action. Thought of the 1948 evacuation are in the minds of the Palestinians.

Argentina evacuating

Three days ago, arrived here the cargo plane seen at the left ([pic of the evacuation of Kabul). Innocently, I thought they are sending us weapons. In fact, they are quietly airlifting American citizens from Israel at war. Argentina is also sending planes to evacuate its citizens, and Hungary and several European countries are doing the same. The picture, as seen from their peaceful homes afar, must be terrifying. As for us, it not terrifying yet, military age men and women are being conscripted, and the youngest sister of a friend (a tatzpitanit) was assassinated by terrorists. There is no bottled water in the supermarket. I have no knowledge of what is going on, because the internet is self-censured or censured, except for the daily report on the number of soldiers killed. I have been working hard on the SPAR supermarket project till 1 AM today.

The Bank of Israel defends the shekel


The BoI announced that is selling US dollars to the limit of 30 billion. It means that the local currency is under attack by speculators. They will not succeed. 

The country is emerging from the shock that the frontier was undefended, and the frontier villages were open. Kibbutz Beeri (Beeri was the pen name of Berl Katzenelson, a leftist Zionist) not only was open and hosting vacationing visitors. Its neighbor, Kibbutz Re'em was holding a big trance all-night party. The revelers were caught at 6 AM drugged and tired when attacked but some were able to run to the nearby trees. 240 of them were killed on the spot. A massacre. One "militant" who was taken prisoner explained that they had prepared this surprise attack for a year, and were ready to fight ZAHAL, but it only appeared after 5 hours.

We are at war. Support Israel!



They took more than two hundred hostages. The mother of the girl in the pic identified her as Shani Luk, 30, a German tourist. They brutally assassinated unarmed 600 civilians. I think this means the end of HAMAS. Probably other enemy forces too. We need fifty more years of tranquility. Tomorrow and after we may not be nice. Please understand and support us all over the world.

To Understand the Universe

Elon Musk has founded a company with the mission of understanding the universe. Given the fantastic success of Musk in former enterprises, he must be taken very seriously. His approach is through IA, i.e. mechanical reasoning power, jumping over the thousands of physicists, astronomers, etc. that are investigating physical reality. And he intends to make money. 

In the Athenian play "The Birds" it is explained that Chaos with the help of Eros married Night, starting all. Genesis posits God saying "Let It Be" and it was. I have to digest the idea before commenting.

Potassium Prices Crash

The current crash is hurting me. 

As ICL operates in a cyclical industry, much of its value comes from the movement of commodity prices. As commodity prices will come down with easing inflation, ICL's selling prices will also come down but will get offset by higher volume. Therefore, the net effect on value will depend on an increase in volume against the price decrease.
