UP TO 60,000 ISRAELI BUSINESSES TO CLOSE IN 2024

“The economic fallout from the ongoing war was most immediately felt by businesses active in the construction, agriculture, tourism, hospitality, and entertainment sectors, according to Amir.

That’s as 85,000 Palestinian workers have virtually disappeared from Israel’s construction industry since the war’s start, as they have not been allowed into Israel to work due to security concerns, while many foreign workers working at building sites left the country. This has caused many building sites to shut down completely due to a lack of workers.

‘Agriculture but especially the construction industry suffers from a severe shortage of manpower causing significant delays of projects and in the handover of apartments,” said Amir. “We are seeing some influx of foreign workers who have returned to Israel, but the low supply has also led to an increase in salaries and higher costs of hiring.’”

ISRAEL’S CREDIT RATING DOWNGRADED WITH FURTHER DOWNGRADING TO “JUNK EXPECTED

Moody’s: “The key driver for the downgrade is our view that geopolitical risk has intensified significantly further, to very high levels, with material negative consequences for Israel’s creditworthiness in both the near and longer term. The ratings would likely be downgraded further, potentially by multiple notches, if the current heightened tensions with Hezbollah turned into a full-scale conflict.”

J’Accuse: Zahodni mediji so sokrivi za masaker v Gazi in Libanonu

Poročanje Karmen Švegl iz Bližnjega vzhoda je simptom odnosa zahodnih medijev do leto dni trajajočega izraelskega genocida v Gazi, izraelskega masakra v Libanonu in velike regionalne vojne, ki se po izraelsko-ameriških notah kuha na Bližnjem vzhodu. Zahodni mediji so v postelji z Izraelom in ZDA.

The US and Iran are on the brink of war. Israel and the United States are planning a major attack on Iran, which according to Biden himself could entail strikes on Iranian oil sites. Iran is now saying that its days of “individual self-restraint” are over, and it is prepared to go all-in if the US and Israel keep ramping up escalations.

The IDF continues to slaughter civilians in Lebanon with US-backed airstrikes as news surfaces that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire with Israel shortly before Israel assassinated him. The US reportedly knew about the deal.

And of course Israel is still killing dozens of civilians a day in its daily massacres in Gaza. Ninety-nine American healthcare workers who volunteered in the enclave have published an open letter to their president detailing the horrors that they have witnessed, and estimating the current death toll from this onslaught is over 118,908.

And at this juncture in history, I think it would be good for us to give the western press their due credit for helping to take us here by manufacturing consent for the political environment in which such western-supported atrocities are possible.

All the mass media personnel who’ve been lying and manipulating for Israel helped pave the way to this.

All the pundits and reporters who’ve been assigning far more weight to the Israeli deaths on October 7 than to the vastly greater number of Arab deaths before and since.

All the editors who’ve been running “Gaza child walks into bullet” passive-language headlines designed to mask Israel’s responsibility for the killings.

Po atentatu v Libanonu: Velika regionalna vojna ali zmaga Izraela?

In the past 48 hours, Lebanon has experienced a significant geopolitical event that may have far-reaching implications for the entire region. This moment is likely to be recorded as a decisive chapter in the region’s history. Why?

Firstly, the decision to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was made while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in the United States, specifically during the United Nations General Assembly session. The location and timing are symbolic for two reasons: it suggests that the decision was made with American consent, and it implies that the principles of international justice, as represented by the UN, are subordinated to Israeli interests. This signals that we are living in an era where power overrides justice.

Secondly, Nasrallah’s assassination would represent a significant blow to Hezbollah. Even the group’s most loyal supporters cannot ignore this reality. Nasrallah was a charismatic leader, a skilled military commander, and a master strategist. Replacing him would not be easy, as he was a unique figure within Hezbollah. His leadership style and capabilities would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate.
