Something kicking off in Israel

i think something like 40% of gdp was federal spending.

That was 2021 at 43%.

2022 was 37% which I guess you could round up to 40% but that's just cheesy.

2023 was 36% so rounding that one up is just lying.

Now, 2020 was 47+% ... a new and never been dun-b-4 record every democrat should be proud of, you'd have to go all the way back to WWII to get close to it.

The average for the last 100 years is probably somewhere between 25% and 30%

The last time it hovered in the 40% range was when Mike Obama was in the whitehouse.

Facts that aren't current are what gives politicians wings.

We should at least strive to be better than politicians.

Which means 40% of the GDP is not sustainable without the government printing and spending money, which is public debt that carries interest. That cannot last. That’s not world power strength, that is weakness.

Propaganda

So when do these paper straws start kicking in and save us from all these geopolitical strifes and finally deliver us into world peace? Asking for a friend.

Yes, the entirety of Palestine/Hamas is propaganda. Visas need to be revoked and students expelled. All of this BS would end real quick.

lol, perfect example of what this is about.

Mr.BR said:

That is why digital central bank currencies being so actively developed. WEF has been touting how they could force spending and investment , basicaly by feature of your salary or pension being valid for like 3-4 months then funds expire if not used up . Governments see folks savings and would like to tap that again after already taxing income multiple times.

This is exactly what will occur in time. It creates a high base GDP. It also turns a country into a highly taxed forced labor camp.

Anti-Israel Protesters Gather Outside GWU President’s Home: ‘We the Students Have the Power’
https://www.breitbart.com/education/2024/05/07/anti-israel-protesters-gather-gwu-presidents-home/

They only have as much power as you let them. Arrest the students, expell them, and the non students arrest them and start revoking visas. Why do we capitulate to terrorists? This isn’t free speech. You have a right to protest but when that protest starts infringing the rights of others and involves destruction of property etc, that is where your rights end and others begin. This is ridiculous.

Israel Commits to Limit Rafah Operation, Grant Control of Crossing With Egypt to Private U.S. Firm - Haaretz


"According to the Gaza Crossings Authority, between 8,000 and 10,000 Gaza Strip citizens have fled to Egypt since the start of the war. Israeli defense officials who spoke with Haaretz said the U.S. made it clear that, should Israel proceed far into Rafah without the express approval of the administration, it faces the prospect of having its access to weapons restricted."

"As part of Israel's efforts to win agreement for a Rafah operation, negotiations have been underway with a private company in the U.S. that specializes in assisting armies and governments around the world engaged in military conflicts. The company has operated in several African and Middle Eastern countries, guarding strategic sites like oil fields, airports, army bases and sensitive border crossings. It employs veterans of elite U.S. Army units.
Under the understandings between the three countries, when Israel has completed its limited operation in the border crossing area, the U.S. company will take responsibility for operating the facility. That includes monitoring goods arriving in the Gaza Strip from Egypt and preventing Hamas from re-establishing control of the crossing. According to the agreement, Israel and the U.S. will assist the company as necessary."

In northwest France, 1192, when the Crusader king of England Richard the Lionheart lay mortally wounded after being shot through the neck during a siege against the castle of a rebellious Flemish noble, Richard's final words before dying were of lament that peace would never come to the Holy Land for thousands of years to come. A King of England who regarded Jerusalem more as his home than his own windswept island that he had singlehandedly wrenched from the grasp of all the feuding Norman warlords who had challenged his family's rule. His dying words turned out to be more than the truth...

interesting on Richard, his fighting spirt was always one for the history books. so much has always been written about him.

It was while besieging the castle at Chalus in France that he was shot by a crossbow bolt in the shoulder. Gangrene set in and Richard ordered the archer who had shot him, to come to his bedside. The archer’s name was Bertram, and Richard gave him a hundred shillings and set him free.


but before his body was put to rest, his heart was cut out, preserved, and sent to a cathedral in Rouen, Normandy, where his troops were based. The heart remained there for centuries,


Shortly thereafter, gangrene set in and the king died in his mother's arms on April 6, 1199, age 41

There is more allegiance to terrorists than the country that these entitled students are protesting in. They should all leave and move to Gaza. I would even be ok with any Muslim country. Just get out of ours if you hate the USA so much.

Not sure when the original vid was posted or details but prageru posted it in the last couple of days. The world is messed up.

AVG human can go 30 days without food. The cows on the hunger strike can go at least 50.
My $$ says, they have cookies stashed in their tent for 'medical' reasons.

No I think dumb students who hate america and are terrorists sympathizers are not worthy of being on American soil. Ship them all to the Middle East. Turn Gaza into a parking lot for all I care. Quit funding Israel, I don’t care. I hardly care for either of them but between two evils, Hamas and Islamic extremist are much worse. But Jewish students have a right to not be harassed and vilified by these idiot students who think Palestine is just a victim here. They are the cause of their own destruction and suffering. Let them reap what they have sowed. I don’t care for any protests that turn violent or destroy property. There are proper ways to make your voices heard. Hong Kong students were fighting Chinese take over. These students are protesting against the USA and Israel and against Palestine who deserves no support. Israel has been measured in its approach. This could have ended day one. And those hostages that they keep dangling like a carrot over Israel….all but dead a long time ago. You don’t start a conflict and you get to choose how it ends.

Mr.BR said:

Well, you have seen how that turned out on jan 6 everyone is an insurrectionist, same goes for HK students from the Chinese point of view , and them students who by the way were financed by foreign power probably got less jail time than Jan 6 crowd. Imagine the sentences if Jan 6 folk they held meetings with CCP officials and recieved funds from CCP

Folks had same ideas about protests in the 70's and were wrong then.

Jew students harassed so far mostly turned out fake , snowflakes needing safe space ,secret service protection ,words are violence crowd.By the way how do you determine jew student to harass, do you measure their nose curvature? Do you understand they are feeling harassed by seeing folks camping out and holding stupid signs? Absolute snowflakes

Remember tools that have been hastily crafted to tackle these inconsequential protests will be used against you for decades to come.Same here in Europe where tools crafted to stifle these protests will be used against farmers protesting governments. Folks need to think at least a bit ahead .

No matter if you agree with what these folks are protesting you are far better of doing jack shit about it let it better off than what we are seeing now. This is not BLM redoux

I am sorry but I think if you entered the capital on Jan 6, you were wrong. And if you destroyed property then you deserve jail time. Are these individuals being overly punished? Absolutely, and I don’t agree with that but actions do have consequences. Now it looks as if they are going after people who weren’t in the capital and that is wrong. You have a right to peacefully protest and yes this is very close to BLM part Deux. They are canceling graduation ceremonies and there are videos of Jews being blocked from moving around campus. That’s harassment. Between Muslims and Jews, I would take the Jew. Just look at what’s going on in Europe with the increase in rape and other crimes with these immigration areas. They want Sharia law. That’s their goal and they aren’t even shy about saying that. But that’s neither here nor there. Palestine is getting and for what was coming to them.

I was thinking more like this fiery and peaceful protestor.

different take from some others that i follow. not sure what or whom to believe? maybe nothing,nobody? my inclination is to be supportive of israel but not to the billions of $s tune.

Oct 7th was at a minimum facilitated by IDF. https://voxday.net/2024/05/12/two-years-in-the-making/

You would be wrong on the first part... who owns the Capital? WE THE PEOPLE... That's our building and we have the right to go in there as we please because WE OWN IT... Not Nancy Polosi or anybody else. They work there at our pleasure not the other way around, lest people forget that...

NOW the second, yea if you are destroying anything then you should be held accountable... jail time... thats a hard bridge for me to cross... fines and restitution, sure... but we also have to then go after all the fucking idiots with BLM that looted and started fires and damaged all the buildings causing several billion in damages across the USA, but we arent going to do that either are we..

The UN attributed its original, higher figures to the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza, whose figures OCHA has cited continually for the past two months. The UN gave no source for the lower figures in its May 8 update, but the figures precisely match those in a May 2 report from a different Hamas-controlled organization, the Gaza Ministry of Health.
