The comments sections always finds who to blame.

Since it's been one year on since the Gaza War started, I decided to look at some defense stocks to see how profitable the genocide machine has actually been. Overall, it seems pretty profitable for the companies with relevant weapons and supplies for the war at this stage, but if I was a vampire capitalist and just threw my money into defense as soon as I thought war demand was coming I'd be pretty disappointed at the outcome so far. One year in NVIDIA outperforms all of them by a ton, and the S&P 500 keeps pace in the middle of the pack.

• Raytheon (+70.05% 1 YR) is the best performer by far. It makes sense since the Iron Dome missiles are made by them. They are making a whole new facility in Arkansas for the purpose of making more of these things that won't be online until 2025, apparently. Whose to say whether the entity known as Israel will even last that long but hey, that just means money in Raytheon's pockets.

• Caterpillar (+47.03% 1 YR) a construction company that makes bulldozers for the IOF, so it's part of the genocide machine obvs. Recently they've been downgraded by Morgan Stanley so we'll see if this keeps up.

• L3Harris Technologies (+39.97% 1 YR) military helicopters and aircraft electronics. Great year for them, Oct 7 represents the bottom of a 2 year losing streak for them.

• Lockheed Martin (+38.14% 1 YR) has a sudden jolt right around the time the US authorized the production of more F-35s. It also happens to be the week where Netanyahu visited the US Congress. Below I have a photo of other companies that have a little jolt around that time as well.

• General Dynamics (+23.92% 1 YR) naval and communications. The stock seems to have been doing well before Oct 7 though so IDK.

And some losers...

• Boeing (-19.49% 1 YR) you know why. But you could have sold when the news was still breaking and done well for yourself.

• Elbit Systems (-0.56% 1 YR) they make drones and they made the Gaza wall defense towers that got owned on Oct 7. Israel doesn't care for defending its citizens right now because genocide but they seem to be pivoting towards the genocide business judging by the swing towards profitability recently.

I remember when hurricane katrina was God's wrath for greater gay marriage approval in the country. Where did this energy go? Now apparently the jews are making the hurricanes with the illegal immigrants with their weather machines. I miss biblical rage against your political opponents. This is Allah's doing. Allah sent this hurricane for the sins of the Great Satan.

For the first time, an American-Israeli weapons manufacturer partnership at an American University has ended over Palestinian rights.

This actually happened a few days ago.

MEE - Florida lawmaker sparks outrage for celebrating Turkish-American activist's killing in West Bank

Randy Fine, the Republican state representative for Florida, is facing a wave of anger and accusations of Islamophobia after celebrating the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist who was fatally shot by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank.

"Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway," Fine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to a post announcing Eygi's killing last weekend.

This is a Florida State Representative and a white one attacking Palestinians at that, so I expect nothing to happen to him.

Binance complies with Israeli request, seizes Palestinian funds

Crypto exchange Binance has seized all funds belonging to Palestinians, acting on a request from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

“I have received this from several sources. All Palestinians are affected and judging by the way things are going all Lebanese and Syrians will get the same treatment. Not your keys, not your coins. We are all Palestinians now.”

Centralized exchanges like Binance are starting to look more like government snitches than safe places to store your crypto. And it gets worse.

Ray claims that Binance has been leaking info on MENA (Middle East and North Africa) users to the IDF without any legal process—no warrant, no subpoena, just handing it over.

This seems to be coupled with a sudden outflow of ~$2 billion dollars worth of BTC from Binance today: https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1f2nt6b/binance_just_had_an_outflow_of_44000_bitcoins/

I find it hard to believe any real hamas would just leave their funds hanging out on a hostile western platform when they can take the funds out. I also find it hard to believe $2 billion would be kept in crypto alone.

Well, let this serve as a warning to anyone looking to do business with Binance, they're basically a wing of the IOF now.

TMZ filmed the assassin the moment he opened fire and was shot from up close.

Pretty crazy video.

Turkish goods shipped to Israel via Greece despite official ban

Statistics indicate Turkish companies use Greek ports to re-export goods to Israel following Ankara’s decision to halt trade

...

TIM data indicate that Turkey’s exports to Greece surged to $375m in May, up 71 percent from $219m in the same month last year.

A second Turkish businessman explained that Turkish exports, although passing through Greece, are still recorded as imports from Turkey in Israeli statistics because they remain Turkish products.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. But there seem to still be impacts on Israel because they are looking for alternative suppliers in Egypt, Spain, and Italy:

“This parallel trade might continue for a few more months, but Israeli companies are quickly aligning themselves with alternative suppliers in other countries like Egypt, Spain, and Italy,” the second businessman said.

Not to mention the exports surge to Greece doesn't come close to matching the total figure of exports to Israel: ~$4.788 billion:

The trade volume between the two countries was $6.3bn in 2023, with 76 percent being Turkish exports, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. Turkey had been a key supplier of affordable products to Israel.

And there are of course porkies whining about muh free trade and all that

“Instead, we punished all the businesses trading with Israel without even a grace period. Some goods are stuck at customs, resulting in hundreds of thousands in losses for the companies.”

So am I crazy to think that the Turkish embargo is working as expected despite this seemingly bad news? I would go as far to say it's good news that there are attempts to circumvent the embargo because if there wasn't then it would be a sign that it isn't a very effective embargo. It could obviously be more effective if these companies were punished by Erdogan, or if other countries joined the embargo, but leaking $155 million out of $4.788 billion ain't so bad.

US will be taking it's broken pier back for repairs.

It was totally still working after a big chunk of it floated off, that's just classic pier-teething problems, dummy. But we have to take the pier back now because it's slightly damaged and the starving Palestinians can probably wait longer it's fine.

EDIT: also AP: "after damage from rough seas" - pretty sure it just regular waves bud.

So ... the IOF calls for evacuations for this settlement that's literally a stone's toss away from the border with Lebanon, and these chucklefucks stick around. Then they get bombed and the bad decisions of the government are to blame, so they are going to fire the IOF and start a volunteer SS division to fight all of Hezbollah? Am I getting that right?

If so I wish the settlement the worst of luck!

(Al Jazeera) United Nations General Assembly backs Palestinian bid for membership

Resolution does not give Palestine full UN membership, but recognises them as qualified to join and extends rights.

143 yes, 9 no, 25 abstained.

And here is the list of countries exact votes. US, Israel, and US puppet regimes are predictably the no votes: https://twitter.com/Raminho/status/1788956393438859580
