Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Beau again.
So today, we are going to talk about the UAE,
the United Arab Emirates,
and experts and the economy,
and how all of this comes together
to provide a little bit of insight
into how decisions are being made
when it comes to everything going on in Israel right now.
Okay, so Israel asked the UAE, the United Arab Emirates, to basically provide
unemployment benefits for Palestinians in the West Bank.
The UAE was, they basically told them to kick rocks, I mean short version.
I believe what they actually said was more akin to the idea that Arab nations are going
to pay the bill for what's happening right now is, quote, wishful thinking.
The question is, why would Israel be concerned about the economy in the West Bank?
Because it's in the manual.
Economic instability is instability, period.
See, there were about 100,000 Palestinians who worked in Israel after the 7th.
Well, they couldn't do that anymore.
Israel wouldn't let them in.
So that hit the economy in a big way.
The instability that that created creates conditions where maybe somebody who was a
bystander becomes sympathetic.
Somebody who is sympathetic becomes active.
Creates conditions for violence to spread.
So it's important for Israel to help the economy of the Palestinians in the West Bank.
And I know right now somebody is looking at their screen and echoing the thoughts in that
message I read over on the other channel, you know, the guy in the sheds, nothing more
than a Muslim loving whatever.
Whatever it is you're about to say about me, do you think the same thing about Shin Bet
or the IDF?
the Israeli Defense Ministry, they put forth a proposal to allow at least some of the Palestinians
to return to work because disrupting the economy is a security risk.
And that was supported by the IDF in Shin Bet.
And for Americans, Shin Bet being on that side and having that position is a lot like
the CIA walking in in mid 2003 looking at George Bush and being like, hey, you're
being a little rough on the Iraqis right now. It's a big deal. Netanyahu didn't
even bring it up for a vote. That should shed a lot of light on how decisions
are being made. Not really listening to the experts. So it's important in this
context to understand that and why Israel is concerned about the economy in the
West Bank. But it should also provide some insight into other things. If Netanyahu
isn't willing to accept the advice of experts when it comes to something this
simple. Something that's in the manual. What do you think that means for
decisions being made about what's happening in Gaza? Anyway, it's just a
With that, y'all have a good day.
