Israel targeted aerial strikes as best they could given this reality on the ground and the complete disregard for civilian life by Gaza. Also, Israel gave warning to Gazans in the North to evacuate as per international law. Hamas is the only entity committing war crimes here, at least so far. 2023-10-29T19:59:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqtcvh3z36ngngxqx0qu76ms2lcwhl3anxyc8gc8fg7hu442a5g0gzyp336nr0nlvespdrvj3qw7k7c0t9y8kezf6f662q92hft7wdlnf3cjp23vu Some thoughts about the #Israel-Hamas war: <br/><br/>1. Zionism is NOT racism<br/>2. Anti-Zionism is NOT the same thing as Anti-Semitism (though one can bleed into the other)<br/>3. Palestinians deserve a state of their own and have a right to self-government and<br/>4. Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state and to protect its citizens from terrorism, including retaliating forcefully against Hamas for its terrorist attacks against Israelis<br/>5. Hamas has no interest in a two-state solution. They embolden the right-wingers in Israel and vice-versa. They also hoard supplies and resources to further their military aims, rather than using them to support Palestinian civilians in Gaza. They are a corrupt, Islamist mafia, not the hope of the Palestinian people for national liberation<br/>6. Any ultimate peace solution must recognize the Palestinian right of return (which is not the same thing as saying ALL the 1948 refugees and their descendants have to return to their ancestral homes). Israel must come to terms that for Palestinians, 1948 was a catastrophe<br/>7. Many Jewish Israelis have their roots in Middle Eastern countries they were forcibly expelled from and disposed of property and possessions. This is too often overlooked in a way that smacks of a pernicious double-standard <br/>8. Hamas cannot be destroyed by military action alone. It is an ideology that can only be made obsolete by a more hopeful, non-violent ideology, and it is up Palestinians to choose to embrace such an alternative ideology<br/>9. The Israeli government can help that competing ideology gain more traction by explicitly committing to a two-state solution and ceasing settlement expansion immediately. But Netanyahu is not the leader Israel needs right now, unfortunately, so that seems unlikely<br/>10. A unilateral cease-fire by Israel now would give Hamas a dangerous victory and set a terrible precedent that terrorism works. If Hamas were willing to free all the hostages in exchange ONLY for a cease-fire, that would be worth considering 2023-10-28T18:22:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrv9yw6kkhlt3dwxh2lh38mfxxdgg7yrnkdx35d3nzwjtfjw5w83szyp336nr0nlvespdrvj3qw7k7c0t9y8kezf6f662q92hft7wdlnf3cjx3zzh How are we celebrating Block 800K?

Treasury now needs to replenish its bank account. And when they do that, money will drain out of the economy and go into the treasury‘s account. This will reduce liquidity even while banks were seeing withdrawals following SVB and First Republic. This will increase their cost of capital, which in turn will make them increase rates they charge to borrowers.
