Why would they do that? They pulled out of the territory in 2004 in an attempt at peace. Every Jew who wanted to live there has been forced out.

This is a report from the region about the afteath of an unprovoked raid by Hamas against her neighbor. This is what Hamas chose and intended to happen and it's nominally the justification for the bombs going off in Gaza right now.

Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed.

That may be the most historically inaccurate statement I've ever heard.

Synthic CDOs were just one example of the problem we didn't learn. There's a whole logic, risk and visibility problem around derivatives of derivatives. The fact that the CFTC has suspended swap reporting, and that we have a derivatives markets that is so massive and then we have derivatives (like swaps) based on those derivatives is a system designed to fail.

The derivatives market is over $1 quadrillion dollars large.
