Does Israel have resources? According to AI, the answer is yes – minerals, oil and gas. But the minerals are in the Dead Sea which borders Jordan, Israel and Palestine. In 1967, Israel occupied the portion of the Dead Sea in Palestine and has since extracted what it wants for – itself. Small oil and gas deposits have been found in the Negev Desert, but nothing of much worth. So, the real answer would be – some, but very limited – unless they steal from Palestine. Which they do.
Because of Israel’s extraction of the minerals beneath the Dead Sea, its elevation is now considered about 1400 to 1500 feet – BELOW sea level. Not very sustainable… What other value does Israel have to export? Diamonds. They buy the diamonds from Africa at slave labor prices, shine them up, and resell them on the open market to America and India predominantly. This market accounts for 31% of Israel’s economy. Israel’s tech industry accounts for nearly 18% of revenue. Not from manufacturing but from the service industry of tech.
Oddly, it appears every source of information regarding Israel’s exports has ‘significantly’ different values ranging from a +/- error rate of about 250%. I am reminded of when I attempted to pin down Ukraine’s exports and the largest number, 46%, was labeled “Other”. As in ‘trafficking’.
Like Ukraine, Israel reports import sources by country, the top tier being America and China with ‘other’ making up 50%. What the government does not do is provide in depth transparent financial statements detailing assets, liabilities, sources of revenue and expenditures.
Modern slavery is an industry. It has a global profit margin of roughly $250 billion annually. As of 2014, the global value of drug trafficking was estimated at $650 billion. We can assume it is well over $1 trillion today. Organ trafficking = $2 billion. Child trafficking = $200 billion. ALL estimates – all likely well below reality. The money is a powerful incentive for a country that has no relative resources to speak of.
Every country across the globe wants Israel to stop the genocide. Give the PLO the authority and let Palestine negotiate a rebuild. The most viable means for Palestine would be to sell Gaza beachfront property to investors with a share of profits. Aid is no longer viable given Netanyahu has declared UNRWA a terrorist organiztion – and workers will be SHOT!
But giving Gaza back to Palestine would undermine Netanyahu’s entire action plan for Israel and himself. He cannot state this publicly because it would reveal his cause is much like the devastation deployed on Lahaina – to force the local residents to forfeit valuable beachfront property – thru eradication and mass murder.
As it stands, Israel has no economic future because its land and resources are limited. Taxes top out at 50% on incomes above $180,000, not including VAT taxes and pension taxes. Like the US, Social Security is considered government revenue instead of a liability. As such, the taxation policies are not conducive to settlers and the corporate rate of 25% offers no incentive for businesses.
While facing US Congress, Netanyahu has vowed a “Never Again” promise which comes in the face of the 1967 Security Council Resolution that has been continually violated and the 1948 coup – which was not agreed to by Palestine and erupted in an Israeli war against Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Netanyahu: “Over 75 years, Israeli leaders have tried time and time again to make the dream of peace a reality.” That peace has resulted in 17 conflicts since 1948.
Each conflict is declared as an oppression of the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, and any country that Israel deems ‘might’ attack. Israel’s ‘word’, Israel’s contracts and peace agreements, have as much value as the Minsk Agreement or NATO – because Israel does not honor or value any agreements – thus making anything Netanyahu promises – an empty tomb.
The Power and value of a Man’s Word: Men of their word are known to be trusted, superior, and reliable. A man who breaks his word is known to be weak, unreliable, and inferior. A Man’s word is a powerful declaration of his Honor, Integrity, and Responsibility as a Leader. When that has been violated a man becomes a nobody. This is where Netanyahu stands today. It is why his speaking to Congress is a waste of time. He is a betrayer.
Zelenskyy is claiming he wants a sit down with ‘Russia Included’ in creating a peace plan ASAP. He then turns around and claims that he is the only one making such a request despite Russia asking for this weekly for 2 years. So why is it so important suddenly? The election and no more funding? Investors losing money?
Poland has stated that until Ukraine pays reparations to Poland for WWII, they will vote NO on any NATO aspiration. Ukraine, having lost the war, wants the peace plan based on their US Cartel definitions which include:
- Prosecution of war crimes including the creation of a special tribunal for Russian war crimes – Putin and Lavrov.
- Assessment of ecological damage, and the prosecution of those responsible; recovery and reconstruction.
- Restoration of the Russia/Ukraine border to that prior to the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
- Restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
- Release of all prisoners including children abducted and sent to Russia.
Basically, Zelenskky’s CIA Orders are based on 1. Russia Paying for everything damaged, and 2. Allowing the CIA to prosecute every Russian government official and military personnel so that the country can be wholly handed over to the Zionist Cartel = CIA.
Netanyahu and Zelenskyy operate on the same wave length of denial and betrayal. That simply is who they are, how they function, and why they are considered worthless, less than human.
Does Israel view Hamas & the PA as legitimate political parties which won their 1994 & 2006 general elections?
As of 2024, Israel has diplomatic ties with 165 of the 192 member states of the United Nations. As of 2022, 28 of the 193 UN member states do not recognise Israeli sovereignty. UN condemnations together with the overreach of international courts who have no jurisdiction over Israel – Chapter VII UN condemnations of Israel, absolutely perceived as a direct threat to Israeli sovereignty and security. Such actions interpreted by Jerusalem as legitimising international intervention or sanctions.
The following 11 countries do not recognise Hamas as a Palestinian government: Israel, Australia, Japan, the US, Canada, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Brazil, New Zealand, and Britain. It’s important to note that while these countries share a similar stance on the illegitimacy of Hamas and the PA, the exact reasons and the depth of their agreement might vary.
Arab racist nationalism emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for the independence and unity of Arab peoples, and highly influenced by the 1930s rise of German Nazism hatred against the post WWI Versailles Allied dictated treaty imposed upon defeated Germany.
This ideology often viewed the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine as a threat to Arab identity and territorial claims. Many Arab leaders and intellectuals perceived the Zionist movement as a form of Western colonialism. They argued that Jewish immigration and statehood were imposed by external powers (like Britain and later the United States) at the expense of the indigenous Arab population.
The influx of Jewish immigrants to Palestine raised fears among Arab populations about losing demographic and political control. Arabs in the region worried that a Jewish state would marginalize their rights and status. The 1947 UN Partition Plan, which proposed a division of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, was rejected by Arab leaders. They argued that it was unjust to allocate land to a Jewish state, particularly given the demographic majority of Arabs in the area at the time.
Arab nationalism also emphasized solidarity with Palestinians, viewing the struggle against Zionism as part of a broader Arab struggle against colonialism and for Arab self-determination.
The Arab States absolute refusal to recognize and respect Israeli self-determination has caused Israel in its own right to reject and denounce Gazan, and area A of the PA, based upon the defunct Oslo Accords – to likewise reject the Palestinian right to self-determination. That as of June 2024, 146 of the 193 member states of the UN unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state serves as conclusive proof that these countries oppose direct face to face negotiations between Israel and Arab refugee populations which currently have no country of their own; that these countries seek some international dictate which treats Israel as a protectorate mandate territory.
That Israel has no authority to determine its own international borders. That foreign nations, some of which do not even hold diplomatic relations with Israel possess the right and authority to dictate peace terms and borders upon the Jewish people. As if Jews maintain the status of exiles who had to endure the Middle Ages feudalism slanders: the Jews poisoned the wells, killed Christian babies to make matza for Passover, and their ensuing pogroms which culminated in the Shoah – the systematic murder of 75% of European Jewry in less than 3 years.
Israel consequently does not view Hamas or the PA in Samaria as a legitimate political party. The 2006 Palestinian general elections in Gaza and the PA election in Samaria prove nothing. Neither Gaza or the PA in Samaria have held any election thereafter.
Both Hamas and the PA did win a plurality of seats in their respective one-time elections, Israel, along with many other countries, considers both Hamas and the PA as a terrorist organization. This designation stems from Hamas & PA stated goals, which include the destruction of Israel, using “From the River to the Sea” propaganda, as proof of the continued PLO commitment to armed struggle to destroy all Jews.
Therefore, Israel’s refusal to recognize Hamas & PA electoral victories, based on the assessment that Hamas and the PA maintain the original PLO covenant – fundamentally opposed to a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The fictional legitimacy of the election results that established both Hamas and the PA as Palestinian “governments”, simply secondary to Israel’s security concerns and its assessment of both Hamas & PA maintenance of the original PLO ideology and actions.
Israel’s stance – heavily influenced by security considerations. Both Hamas and the PA – viewed through the lens of their commitments to armed struggle and hostility toward Israel, seen as direct threats to Israeli self-determination and security. The original PLO covenant, which included objectives against the existence of Israel, continues to shape Israeli perceptions of both Hamas and the PA. Israel argues that these organizations maintain ideologies that are fundamentally opposed to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Specifically, which countries agree with Israel that Hamas and the PA together both exist as illegitimate political actors, rooted in the Arab 1948 ideology which absolutely and fundamentally rejects the idea that dhimmi Jews share equal rights to self-determination?
The U.S. designates Hamas as a terrorist organization and has expressed skepticism about the PA’s governance, particularly regarding its effectiveness and commitment to peace. Egypt also views Hamas with suspicion due to its affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, which poses a threat to the Egyptian government. Egypt often mediates between Israel and Hamas but does not recognize Hamas as a legitimate actor.
The UAE has taken a more pragmatic approach, normalizing relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords. It views both Hamas and the PA as impediments to peace and stability in the region. While Jordan has a significant Palestinian population and supports Palestinian rights, it is cautious about Hamas due to its radical ideology and the potential for instability it brings to the region. Similar to the UAE, Bahrain and other Gulf states have shown a willingness to engage with Israel and have expressed concerns about the governance and actions of both Hamas and the PA.
Germany, as an EU member state, could potentially break with France over a call for an arms embargo against Israel. Germany and France have different foreign policy priorities and approaches when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Germany has generally maintained a close relationship with Israel, emphasizing dialogue and cooperation.
Germany could choose not to support a French-led call for an arms embargo against Israel, especially if it perceives such a move as detrimental to Israel’s security or damaging to the relationship between the two countries.
Israel has told António Guterres that he is persona non grata in Israel. Does this preclude the Israeli breakage of all diplomatic relations with the UN and the expulsion of the UN from Lebanon, Gaza, Samaria and Israel?
This status specifically targets Guterres as an individual, meaning, he emphatically – unwelcome in Israel. It does not, as yet extend to the whole of the UN as an organization. However the disgrace and corruption of both UNWRA and UNIFIL does strongly indicate that Israeli distust of the UN has reached a critical breaking point.
The growing frustration with the UN’s effectiveness and its agencies’ actions could indicate that Israel approaches a critical break-point in its tolerance for what it views as inadequate support for its security and sovereignty. While the current measures focus on Guterres, ongoing dissatisfaction could lead to calls for more drastic actions against UN operations in the region. However, such decisions would be complex and could have significant diplomatic repercussions.
Israel’s positioning reflects deep-seated frustrations with the UN and its agencies, particularly in the context of the latest UNGA Chapter VII ultimatum against Israel. Israel often views UNGA resolutions as biased against it, particularly those that criticize its policies in the UN 242 propaganda declaration “occupied territories”. Jordan invaded Israel in the June 1967 war and not the reverse! Resolutions invoking Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which can authorize action to maintain or impose international peace and security – particularly concerning to Jerusalem.
The UNGA most recent issue of a Chapter VII ultimatum which threatens to take actions under Chapter VII, Israel perceives as a direct threat to its sovereignty and security. Such actions interpreted as legitimizing international intervention or sanctions. Israel’s national security simply a paramount concern, and any perceived attack on its legitimacy or actions directly leads to heightened tensions. The Israeli government will respond strongly to what it sees as hostile actions by & from the UN.
Israel’s responses to UN actions can impact its relationships with other nations, especially those that support or oppose UN initiatives. This dynamic may influence diplomatic strategies and alliances in the region. Israel’s complex relationship with Hamas, the PA, and international entities like the UN, driven by deep-seated security concerns and historical grievances which date back to slanders made throughout the Middle Ages. The perspectives of various countries reflect a mix of geopolitical interests, historical ties, and security assessments, leading to a nuanced international landscape regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Helen needs to see this about Trump’s posturing:

It certainly does not show devotion to Israel.
We have been betrayed by Bibi, Trump, Biden, Obama, The Clintons, Daddy Bush and son, Congress, Federal Reserve Chairs, etc. A Cacophony Of Lies! The good news is the darker the lies, the brighter the truth.
Sir John Glubb stated, “Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity. The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving.”
✝️Let us attend to our souls. The hour is upon us. This is what we must do right now. We watch. We wait. We remain calm so that we can help others remain calm. We walk together in moral solidarity We keep faith in God alone. He will lead us to green pastures. The road ahead is fraught with land mines, mud, blood, and much suffering. We accept it just as Christ did. We carry our Cross!
Am I sad? Yes. Am I scared? Yes. But I no longer am the paralyzed man sitting on his mat in the Bible. God has shaken my soul. There is no way out. This nation must be cleansed in accordance with the Lord.
Ukraine suffered just as much from Stalin as Poland did. Poland is setting itself up to suffer major damage, by its support of the NWO/NATO aggression. But that is fine with me, Poland please block Ukraine joining NATO. Wow is Poland just plain greedy, they know the USA will pay them off.
Israel grabs land and resources, it also is very greedy.
