Israel’s tech sector has always had a close relationship with Silicon Valley, with funding for its start ups coming from venture capital and US ‘Big Tech’. With some employees at the tech giants protesting the involvement of their companies, could this relationship be in trouble?

Here's a link to the paper referenced by the article. Not sure why it wasn't included with the article. Anyway, this chart stood out to me: image

Don't believe or respect anyone who says the White House is working on a ceasefire deal. This administration has clearly been working on just the opposite.

A report by Brown University’s Watson Institute reveals that since the beginning of the war, the US has spent more than $22 billion on military aid to Israel - from weapons and equipment to the deployment of aircraft carriers. Israel receives more U.S. military aid than any other country and is uniquely able to use that funding to spend on domestic goods.

The total amount of American aid since the start of the war is about NIS 85 billion ($22 billion) based on an average exchange rate by the Bank of Israel over the past year. Most has been delivered but about $5.2 billion will only arrive next year. According to official estimates from the Bank of Israel, the total cost of the war is estimated to be about NIS 250 billion ($65 billion), including around NIS 118 billion ($31 billion) for military costs including army operational costs, replenishment of military equipment, ammunition, and logistical support. Therefore, by a simple calculation, the U.S. has been funding about 70% of the war effort.

Yesterday, footage was captured of Israeli occupation bulldozers racing to demolish the homes of displaced Palestinian families in Rafah, southern Gaza. Thousands who sought refuge here were either killed or displaced again after Israel's military offensive in and around the city back in May.

Hanno Hauenstein on X summarised about a coming German parliamentary resolution titled «Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany»

https://x.com/hahauenstein/status/1852632568593629376

“Germany is pushing a parliamentary resolution linking residency guarantees, asylum and public funding for arts and science to a loyalty oath to a state currently facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice. This deserves international attention.”

I totally agree.

Verhandlungen im Bundestag: Ampel und Union einigen sich auf Resolution gegen Antisemitismus (Spiegel, 2024-11-01)

https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/ampelfraktionen-und-union-einigen-sich-auf-resolution-gegen-antisemitismus-a-7ab67476-a762-410a-a8cb-67e2c2601168
———

“… nun ist die Einigung da. »Nie wieder ist jetzt: Jüdisches Leben in Deutschland schützen, bewahren und stärken«, lautet der Titel des vierseitigen Entwurfs, der dem SPIEGEL vorliegt…”

“… Israel habe das völkerrechtlich verbriefte Recht, sich gegen völkerrechtswidrige Angriffe zu verteidigen und damit die anerkannte Pflicht, seine Bürger unter Wahrung seiner völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen vor Terror zu schützen, heißt es in dem Text.

“Die Bundesregierung wird aufgefordert, weiterhin aktiv für die Existenz und die legitimen Sicherheitsinteressen des Staates Israel als ein zentrales Prinzip der deutschen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik einzutreten…”

Fast eine Kriegserklärung gegen Vernunft und Menschlichkeit.
