I don't think he believed it as he was writing it... he was just hoping the Zionist military domination was so thorough that Palestinians would either be too dead or too desperate that they would abandon hope and submit. he was just throwing a bone to the more squeamish Zionists who (through pure delusion) thought there was a more humane way to colonize Palestine. he correctly acknowledged this was ridiculous, but instead of giving him any sort of moral pause he goes "if you think Zionism is immoral then you shouldn't have become a Zionist. checkmate liberal."

I thought currency has value in large part from state collecting tax in that currency. is what you're saying distinct from MMT? if you can point to some sources on the topic I'd appreciate it.

particularly this part if you can explain further:

All that matters is can the issuing agency back up the creditors issuing the debts, or is the issuer too large to be effectively challenged by creditors.

what does "back up the creditors" mean?

I know what you're saying, and mostly agree, but fiat being "based on confidence" sounds like the crypto bro ancap argument. the only "confidence" fiat is based on is the confidence that the issuing government will put you in jail if you don't have enough of it.

they named it after a fash essay by jabotinsky called "the iron wall". the thrust of this essay was "if we put the Arabs on the other side of an iron wall, maybe in 3 generations they won't be so mad anymore?"

he admitted to being on his phone? manslaughter aside, he needs to be in prison because he's too stupid to be allowed back in society.

 

it was about their psychology and strategy, mentioned how they will lure the enemy into ambushes etc.

it was very interesting and beautifully written. I want to show it to my friend, even though it'll probably get him on a list.
