GPS on CNN: "There's no written Constitution for Israel"

And so theorists say they can explicate "reasonableness" without one?

The plain fact is there's no stopping the extremists who want Israel only for radical Jews occupying the West Bank short of a Constitution or a vote for some explication of the principle of "reasonableness."  Short of something in writing, agreed upon by Israelis, there will be a constant barrage of armaments circling overhead in the region--likely.  

Who said Israel is not for those who want to live there--peacefully.  Its founders?  Israel is not only for Jewish extremists!  I don't think so.

My opinion.

Attempts to break the Black Sea corridor blockade by Russia!

 A suggestion.

Given that Russia is blockading and entertaining African representatives in Moscow, I think breaking the blockade with those little speed boats is in order.

Not to mention how they might try rattling NATO countries especially Poland with border problems.

Just a suggestion.  My opinion.

Where are the Russian grains going? See the Moscow African Pow-Wow!

It is obvious: Russia and China are trying to take over Africa!--and their mines.

My opinion.


Age-old question: Just because a corporation is big, ought anti-trust laws be applied to whittle down its size?

 I am reminded how Rockefeller expanded his railroads into interstate locations.

It's not the size, but the service it provides because of its size that's important, when the public is provided a convenience in transportation not available to small railroads: going from destinations thousand of miles apart.

And now there's Amtrak.

My opinion.

Tigray, Ethiopia atrocities not referred to a criminal court for justice?

The Economist July 15th issue, p.36, notes that evidence is likely to be destroyed as mass graves are being dug to dispose of bodies.

The central government has tried to monitor reports of heinous crimes during the war in Tigray since the inception of conflict.

My impression.


China turning to food production in greenhouses.

Growth is controlled through temperature and humidity settings; and fertilizer and water more efficiently distributed.  It is thought that 40% of the vegetables could be grown that way.

Livestock is going inside, too.  A climate change precaution.

  

Japan serves the undersea cables for the internet across Asia but caught in the interplay between US and China

They're both at controlling digital data that the other cannot access.  It will smooth itself out in time.

Meanwhile, Asia is on the fast track for growth, including the China South Sea area.  See Economist, July 15th issue, 2023, pp. 27 ff.

My opinion.
