Unlike Businessweek which is very North American centric in terms of coverage, The Economist is very global. Think WSJ vs FT. It is always a week late, but not that I need to act on it.

If the protests were anti-Israel, it wouldn't have been anything new. The reason they protested is because apparently, according to these students & teachers, Columbia owns stakes in weapon manufacturers and are indirectly funding genocide. Still seems like a somewhat valid argument, here's where things get funny, no, Columbia doesn't own any stake in any weapon maker, what they own is a $277k worth of a BlackRock corporate bond ETF. This is laugh worthy, who would imagine a school as big as Columbia, which is also known for it's 'prestigious' business school would not see the stupidity here? All the teachers & the student's parents own it too if they are invested in any broader market ETF.

I think most people in the broader west have never seen or experienced j!h4d first hand and think of terrorist organizations as a 'building', which could be bought down and replaced. This is a huge misconception. There is a demon called Raktabīja in Indian folk lore, the specialty of these guys is that if you wound him, from every drop of his blood, a new Raktabīja will come out. Hamas, & most terrorist outfits as a matter of fact are much the same. You can never completely destroy them as much as that would be nice. Once the old leader is killed a new one will take the mantel, such is the unfortunate reality, the seed was long sowed, only takes a little rain.

cubsfan Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) ^^^ Well, that is just your opinion of course. Your's is an equally naive view of history. You decapitate the leadership and attempt to win the hearts and minds of the fools that put them in power. Unfortunately, you must obliterate the leaders, and humiliate the populace - so they have little choice. Witness NAZI Germany, Fascist Italy, and the militaristic Imperial Empire of Japan. All leadership was decapitated. The population was humiliated. Then they realized the enormous mistake they had made with these leaders. Only then could those countries be remade into neighbors that others could live with. This victory requires unconditional surrender. IF Hamas is not obliterated - then this war will go on forever. Israel is not going to let that happen this time around. Edited April 23 by cubsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
