    I really believe this is one of the biggest blindspots of the Israeli public. They are still unable to even acknowledge how many people died on Oct 7th to the military response. This author has family in Be’eri, where the tanks shot houses that were filled with hostages. He has to know about the various documented instances of Hannibal Directive happening on Oct 7th. Just another one of the “it’s Hamas’ fault” denialism that he writes about in other cases, but cannot even mention. The latest genocide campaign really started when the commanders authorized the ‘killing zone’ along the Gaza fence area that included the rave festival grounds.

    This denial is critical to keep the big lie of Oct 7th alive, to maintaining some thin veneer of victimhood over the top of continuing genocidal acts through out Palestine.






  • Stephen Stanley, chief US economist at Santander Bank, said that any impact was likely to be small. “The biggest deflationary force in goods prices here of late has been used vehicles, which has nothing to do with China,” he said.

    BYD, China’s biggest carmaker, recently announced price cuts of between 5 and 15 per cent for its electric vehicles in Germany, after Mercedes-Benz warned late last year that its profits were being hit by a “brutal” price war in electric vehicles.

  • Citigroup analysts said this month that falling prices in China could help to hasten moves by central banks in emerging markets to cut interest rates this year, particularly in countries that consume relatively large shares of Chinese goods.

    “We as investors are only just starting to connect the dots” on how falling prices imported from China might play out across markets, said Luis Costa, global head of emerging markets sovereign debt strategy at Citigroup. “The question is the magnitude.”

    Over many years, the United States has criticised NATO Allies for not spending enough on defence. Rightly so. And I commend the U.S. leadership on this important issue. But things have changed.

    All Allies have increased defence investments. Adding an additional 450 billion dollars. NATO Allies have committed to spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence. And many are exceeding that target already. For example, this year Poland will spend more than 4%. No other Ally spends more.

    With more money, we are boosting our defence industry.

    NATO creates a market for defence sales.

    Over the last two years, NATO Allies have agreed to purchase 120 billion dollars’ worth of weapons from U.S. defence companies.
    Including thousands of missiles to the U.K, Finland and Lithuania, Hundreds of Abrams tanks to Poland and Romania, And hundreds of F-35 aircraft across many European Allied nations – a total of 600 by 2030. From Arizona to Virginia, Florida to Washington state, American jobs depend on American sales to defence markets in Europe and Canada.

    What you produce keeps people safe. What Allies buy keeps American businesses strong. So NATO is a good deal for the United States.

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    The Heritage Foundation stands for the power of ideas that keep America strong. NATO is an incredibly powerful idea. That advances U.S. interests. And multiplies America’s power.
