Israel-Hamas war creates geo-economic uncertainty in a divided world. The three-day-old war between Israel and the Gaza (Palestine)-centric terrorist organization Hamas has created a global geo-economic uncertainty due to the division of the world’s support for both rivals. Hamas initiated a full-fledged attack by firing around 5,000 rockets at Israel on Saturday, resulting in approximately 700 deaths and injuring another 1,000 Israelis.

Thank you for posting this Ian Bremmer. This is what we in the intel biz call a warning light. In scenario-based indications and warnings (I&W) problems, we craft a list of potential scenarios and prioritize them according to probability and potential for calamity. Then, we rate them with a traffic light rating system (red, yellow, green). When four or more are yellow, the probability of an undesirable outcome ( i.e. negative effect on business operations, supply chains, or markets) increases. When four are yellow and one red, it's time to make serious adjustments to avoid calamitous risk. We now have TWO in the RED and FOUR in the YELLOW! It's past time to prepare for the next wave of geopolitical disruption. It's already here. #strategicforesight #geopoliticalrisk #geopoliticalintelligence

They are not human

Tomorrow, SITE will publish my latest analysis on the Israel-Hamas war--specifically, why Hamas carried out its attack against Israel, despite no realistic chance of winning and being well-aware of the deaths that were certain to follow. As I pose the question: "Despite its terrorist designation by the US and several other Western countries and international organizations, Hamas has tried for years to portray itself as a legitimate Palestinian governing body, complete with a separate 'political arm' and 'military arm.' Why, then, did Hamas launch a massive, unprecedented attack against Israel, knowing well that it can’t actually win, and that its attack would lead to scores of dead Palestinians from Israel’s retaliation?"

The Arab Middle East has been historically hostile to Jews for centuries, with open and proud expressions of anti-Semitism. As an Israeli, I understand and have learned to live with this reality. Cultures of hate don't change overnight. However, it's not just Arab anti-Semitism that concerns me. When it comes to Western and modern forms of anti-Semitism, despite their different origins, "Acceptable anti-Semitism" is when individuals and groups attempt to rationalize their hostility towards Jews. They employ sophisticated, evidence-based arguments, often centered on accusations against Israel. By using claims like "Israel is killing," they try to avoid being labeled as anti-Semites. Israelis may believe that those "Acceptable anti-Semitism" type don't comprehend the complex Middle East reality, but I argue that they are consciously acting.

Several companies persist in employing individuals from Russia under the misconception that they can operate on an equitable basis with others. However, this premise is inaccurate! Persistent engagement with individuals associated with actions such as genocide and widespread destruction closes off avenues to the success of a company. Despite enduring a full-scale invasion for 2 years and over a decade of conflict, there remains a failure to recognize the nature of the entities involved as terrorist organizations #ukraine #russiaisaterroriststate

This post might be hard to see, but there are currently hundreds of those which are way more intense. This platform is not a place for politics, but the occurrences of yesterday were not about politics or war, but about humans and creatures. For the justice of this poor kid who was kidnapped, for the women that was raped and shown naked in front of a whole city, for the old women that was forced to make videos with their guns, and later kidnapped as well, for the people, which some of them are my friends that when to a festival and were shot by group of creatures and for my family, who was lucky enough to survive a rocket that fell 10 meters from my building. For them, I will use this platform to stop this discussion. There are no "two nations who are fighting anymore". Calling them terrorists ia a gesture, we are fighting devils in the form of ugly men, and women. We might develop in Math, science, technology, physics, sports.. but when these things happen we take a step back, and when we remain silent, we take 1000.
