Are we living in the inferno?

 YOU MIGHT think it would be impossible for the inferno in Israel and Gaza to burn hotter. Yet Binyamin Netanyahu is fuelling three simultaneous emergencies: a humanitarian one in Gaza; a torching of support among European allies; and a constitutional crisis over who controls the security services, army and courts. The pressure on Israel and its institutions is almost unbearable for the country. A culminating moment is probably imminent. 

Quote from The Economist. I respect The Economist's journalists. But living here, I don't see what they see. Should I believe The Economist, or my shortsighted eyes?

P.D.: Only a month ago, The Economist thought Israel was full of hubris, victorious and expanding.

Commandment

 
 Benedixitque eis Deus, et ait: Crescite, et multiplicamini; replete terram et subicite eam. Et dominare piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et universis animantibus, quae moventur super terram. Primus homo Adam, sicut dixit, potestatem habuit super omnia regendi.

See the original Hebrew text.

Investment reflexion


Gold (zahav in Hebrew) is mentioned 400 times in the Bible.  Silver (kesef) is mentioned 300 times.

Nvidia is not mentioned even once.

Die Goldene Medine

Israel has demonstrated that its Iron Dome anti projectile system is effective. America is building a Dome for itself. For us, it is existential. For America, it is a sign of retraction, of isolationism. 

The future is up for grabs. Carl Bildt.

The future is ours. At least, a part of it. 

Making Order at Harvard

Over the years, Harvard had evolved to be judenfrei, rejecting and hunting down Jewish students and "diversifying" to colored, Third-world, violent trash. They elected an unqualified Haitian female as President of the University. The idiots held pogroms in the campus, making life for Jews dangerous. I am happy that the reaction is coming. 

"As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' policies, you have lost this privilege."
