Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.

Arnab Goswami, a right-wing Indian TV anchor and journalist, said on his show that “22 April is to India what 7 October was to the Israelis.”

A guest featured on the show said, “We demand we turn Pakistan into Gaza."

“It is time for India to bare its fangs and not fall prey to calls for restraint,” former Indian army general MM Narvane said in an opinion piece for The Print, calling on New Delhi to “borrow” tactics from Israel.

In light of what happened, it is relevant to take a look at some ressources:

https://antonyloewenstein.com/books/the-palestine-laboratory-how-israel-exports-the-technology-of-occupation-around-the-world/

Antony Lowenstein - Palestine Laboratory which gives some insight on how the surveillance technology but also military hardware are tested on Palestine to be sold into the world. I think we can see Israel conflicts with its neighbouring countries as a giant tradeshow to sell the tech to potential buyers.

I also find it insightful some interviews by Electronic Intifada done with Shir Hever:

He is the author of the article done on Mondoweiss regarding the prolonged war can inflict a blow in Israeli economy. What I find relevant is the case he mentioned on France's Carrefour expansion into Israel. Carrefour wanted to expand into the country, but there are concerns regarding the ethical practice of some of the expansion, the company didn't want to expand inside Palestinian settlement (not for any moral arguments, but there are fear that it can be complicit in Israeli colonization and occupation). However, the Israeli court rules out that Carrefour can't decide where they can or can't open a store which to according to Shir implies that there are some political exceptionalism Israel can exercise on people who wants to do business in the country, which can lead to people thinking twice in investing into a country that doesn't allow you to have a legal even playground.

TLDR, the states exceptionalism is not good for the civilian sector of global capitalism to operate in, expecially if corporation know the trajectory of the next generation wouldn't have a positive opinion regarding the Israeli state.

In the second interview, Shir mentioned that Israel's main export is really in its military and surveillance sectorw, he does say that October 7th does make potential buyers question its military hardware performances, but I think today's cellphone's attack does give some Israel a good demonstration on some of its potential in terms of surveillance and population control.

I think it's important to not neglect today's attack in its context especially regarding the current state of the world which climate change causing social instability can push some states appetite to consider buying Israeli savoir faire in order to control its population more efficiently (border control, policing tech, surveillance, etc.).

In the future, we will all be Palestinians

Kiyosaki also based the “poor dad” on his own dad. The book states the poor dad is an unsuccessful person because he decided to work in an actual job, paid his debt and never teach his child the grind.

In actuality his dad was a school teacher who at the end of life is well respected within his community and plays a role in Hawaiian politics.
