  • Exactly my point. And it’s not going to be easypeasy in the better off nations either. Just look at what a ship accident in the Suez canal did to European goods. What China’s covid problems did to global availability of goods. We had to worry about food problems because of the war in Ukraine. Our economy is global and fragile, because there are no redundancies.

    The Western world will suffer as well, even if they close all borders and manage to keep people out of it. Why would the rest of the world produce for us if they have other problems to worry about?






  • I’ve never really understood people wanting to travel there or even move there as the danger of terrorist attacks seemed to high to risk it (and I travelled quite a bit in the world).

    But when I looked into it to resolve my ignorance the apartheid nature seemed very clear to me (I had family in SA) so I was aware of the issue. So since a couple of years ago, maybe even a decade, the politics of Israel were very much against what I deem right and productive… or ethical.

    So superficially I was for Israel (history class in school, Western news reporting, etc.) before I started inform myself.
