I am getting close to giving a more detailed assessment on Israel/Hamas, as it drags on.

And it will probably be Nostr-only since other platforms can’t handle it. It is too polarized. Everyone is tunnel-visioned.

My husband is currently in Cairo dealing with some property work we are doing for our extended family. They are only 250 miles from the problem, and Egypt’s acute currency crisis brings it closer to home if military or refugee shit hits the fan. Most of my extended family is geopolitically or financially close to the Israel/Gaza issue and is Muslim. I am thus both close and far from the issue. And I grew up in the US in a diverse region with Jewish and Muslim peers, but more-so Jewish overall.

Suffice to say, I don’t want civilians on either side to suffer or die. I am pro-humanity first and foremost.

Before I give my eventual analysis, I am happy to see Nostr comments on the issue. What are your thoughts and questions on the topic? What would you like to see addressed from a diverse or as non-biased source as possible?

A big question is why the Israeli army "did not" know the attack on Oct 7th was coming. It does not pass the smell test. I hope you follow the money.

as someone from the middle east I can tell you 100% it is not a "Israel/Hamas" problem, if their will ever be a solution you need to look at the root cause. a 100 year conflict and Hamas is 20 years old.

I would be interested in how much of the conflict persisting is industrial military complex and some people profiting off of it. People of all religions can and do live together peacefully. Everyone wants their children to grow up well and to have a peaceful environment. Why is this not how things a...

Warfare seems to be the default mode for settling existential human disputes. Perhaps you can reach out to Major Jason Lowery of Softwar to speculate on how Bitcoin and hashpower could reduce the need for physical warfare in the Israeli and Hamas power struggle.
