“Recent scholarship shows that informed traders increasingly disguise trades in economically linked securities such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Linking that work to longstanding literature on financial markets’ reactions to military conflict, we document a significant spike in short selling in the principal Israeli-company ETF days before the October 7 Hamas attack. The short selling that day far exceeded the short selling that occurred during numerous other periods of crisis, including the recession following the financial crisis, the 2014 Israel-Gaza war, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, we identify increases in short selling before the attack in dozens of Israeli companies traded in Tel Aviv. For one Israeli company alone, 4.43 million new shares sold short over the September 14 to October 5 period yielded profits (or approximates avoided losses) of millions on that additional short selling for one out of hundreds of securities traded on the TASE…
Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events, and consistent with prior literature we show that trading of this kind occurs in gaps in U.S. and international enforcement of legal prohibitions on informed trading. We contribute to the growing literature on trading related to geopolitical events and offer suggestions for policymakers concerned about profitable trading on the basis of information about coming military conflict.”
It should be noted that the authors of this study, Robert J. Jackson, Jr. and Joshua Mitts, are the Former Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a respected scholar at Columbia Law School — hardly what one might call your typical “right-wing domestic terrorist conspiracy theorist” or whatever.
“Theirs is a moral position. The US’s and Israel's is not.” Wow. Completely and utterly disagree. And I have plenty of criticism for the US and Israelis. They are certainly not innocent. But to endorse the fantasy that Hamas is somehow moral - that’s insane. Especially appalling is the denial that Hamas committed atrocities - because the evidence isn’t good enough!!! How appallingly callous to deny the suffering of those that were innocent. I won’t deny that Palestinians have suffered greatly from Israeli actions. But to deny the barbarity of their response takes willful, deliberate ignorance.
PS. My parents were "Terrorists", they spread propaganda and my father killed at least one "traitor", according to him to prevent the NAZI's of killing all in his Dutch resistance -cell in Amsterdam. He led the dockers and Fokker workers from Amsterdam-North to the center in what is called ; The Februari-strike against the NAZI-pogroms in his city.
But only the NAZI-propaganda called them Terrorists. From the Dutch Government he got a medal: "Het verzetskruis".
To deny the barbarity of killing children indeed takes willful, deliberate immorality.
All societies, including some we deem less than civilized, have anathematized infsnticide. That a modern state should do this deliberately at this scale is eye opening. It’s been suggested that I read the Talmud to understand — but the excerpts I’ve come across are bestial. To fathom that great evil exists in this world is not difficult, but to read a sinister “how to manual”is impossible for me.
Read the sections of Talmud (commentary on Torah) they want you to read, like selected portions of the Bible/Koran/whatever, fundamentalist criminals will use anything to justify their crimes!

“There are over 200 synagogues in our community that officially disavow Zionism”. Greater Brooklyn boasts even more than that.
Guess what, we are all antisemites according to the ‘Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism’ resolution in Congress…
The Republican-drafted resolution declares that the House of Representatives "clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism."
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the most senior Jewish member of the House, criticized the language of the bill ahead of the vote. "The resolution suggests that ALL anti-Zionism is antisemitism. That is either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong. And it unfairly implicates many of my orthodox former constituents in Brooklyn, many of whose families rose from the ashes of the Holocaust," he said.
Nadler claimed that "most anti-Zionism is antisemitism" but added that if authors of the bill "were at all familiar with Jewish history and culture, should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was, and is, expressly NOT antisemitic."
+--+
The resolution, which is presented as a resolution condemning antisemitism, passed in a vote of 314-14-92. Only thirteen Democrats and one Republican voted against the legislation, while 92 Democrats voted "present" in protest of a line buried in the bill that explicitly claims anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
SO many better minds gone gone gone, while we are stuck with inarticulate freaks from those Poison Ivy League Schools, Oxford, all of the fucking bullshit schools.

Representative institutions no longer represent voters. Instead, they have been short-circuited, steadily corrupted by an institutionalized system of bribery that renders them responsive to powerful interest groups whose constituencies are the major corporations and wealthiest Americans. The courts, in turn, when they are not increasingly handmaidens of corporate power, are consistently deferential to the claims of national security. Elections have become heavily subsidized non-events that typically attract at best merely half of an electorate whose information about foreign and domestic politics is filtered through corporate-dominated media. Citizens are manipulated into a nervous state by the media’s reports of rampant crime and terrorist networks, by thinly veiled threats of the Attorney General and by their own fears about unemployment. What is crucially important here is not only the expansion of governmental power but the inevitable discrediting of constitutional limitations and institutional processes that discourages the citizenry and leaves them politically apathetic.
No doubt these remarks will be dismissed by some as alarmist, but I want to go further and name the emergent political system “inverted totalitarianism.” By inverted I mean that while the current system and its operatives share with Nazism the aspiration toward unlimited power and aggressive expansionism, their methods and actions seem upside down. For example, in Weimar Germany, before the Nazis took power, the “streets” were dominated by totalitarian-oriented gangs of toughs, and whatever there was of democracy was confined to the government. In the United States, however, it is the streets where democracy is most alive–while the real danger lies with an increasingly unbridled government.
"Zionists are Nazis". Correct Julian, that's why I call them Zio-Nazis. The same goes for Kahanists. Vlademir Vlademerovich Putin may have used the term "Empire of Lies". I think I first read this on the defunct Saker or Moon of Alabama and it's more specific, "Anglo-Zionist Empire of Lies and Hate". I use it prefaced with "Nazi".
Well the translucent shroud that kinda sorta covered the evil prevalent in American society has disintegrated. That Biden has not been condemned for his recent remarks regurgitating rank propaganda is certainly revealing.
It is interesting that the performative stunts of American officials like Janet Yellen's storming out of a room because of the presence of a Russian diplomat have not been replicated across the globe. But those events will come -- we of the U.S. and Canada will be persona non grata in those parts of the globe where true opportunity might reside. It is one thing to piss away armaments in a useless proxy war, but the consequences of eviscerating one's moral authority are severely damaging.
I fear that there may be a battle of more than just rhetoric over the future course of America. But the battle must be joined and the capitalists that exploit, mislead, and misinform us must be demoted.
But those pop-up only when an association has been encountered.
What i do is after deciding it is a false association, to ignore it. Giving it no attention (certainly not an angry one).
For example:
After i lost all contact with my then 5 children from 1 to 12 years old at that time, i got a sharp and emotional pop-up, when i was in the super with my empty cart and saw a mother with her little child in her cart.
I decided this was a false association so i ignored it including the emotional trail.
After a year it was over. I could see and enjoy children in the super again.
I found out, that most people just ignore children in such environment. When i saw a child, i looked at it, they noticed that, as i could see. Most people just don't notice children and those children see that. And they notice when they are seen.

Dear Grape Soda,
from your reaction i deduce that you are a victim of group-thinking:
Having strong feelings of hate towards idea's but also facts, that are damaging for the group-thinking that you have been lured into.
I hope you will not crumble when you finally crunche your Cognitive Dissonance, protecting the Narrative Matrix virtual reality you live in.

Legacy is the memories we choose to keep, everything else is dust.
Or maybe the memories we we forget to throw out LOL. My mental attic is full of them.
Or the memories that haunt us for a lifetime, if not longer.
I have rather too many of those memories. I think
I recognise that...
But those pop-up only when an association has been encountered.
What i do is after deciding it is a false association, to ignore it. Giving it no attention (certainly not an angry one).
