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.
