Let's wait and see, Israel had said that it will not investigate incidents of friendly fire on Oct 7.

I had been wondering how so many cars got charred when Hamas was only armed with light weapons. I guess the answer is the Israeli Air Force.

Does Trump then sell BTC for USD on an exchange and then pay tax on it? Why didn't the Winklevii just send USD?

I don't get this use-case for BTC, overbanking the overbanked.

That's policy, as Naftali Bennet (who would later become Israel's Prime Minister) explains.

The West Bank is what happens when Palestine cooperates with Israel.

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said in May that Israel should approve 10,000 settlements in the West Bank, establish a new settlement for every country that recognizes a state of Palestine, and cancel travel permits for Palestinian Authority officials.

Emphasis mine because I can't believe how childish that is.

At least in a free Palestine the Palestinians would have the right of mobility intact (they could leave) whereas that's not possible under Israeli occupation.

I'm kinda dense, what's the "only one reason for appointing an NSA director to your board"?

Yup.

Allegations detailed in the investigative report from the comptroller's office include:

In 2020, Thomas and a group of local investors created three for-profit businesses known collectively as the Alliance Group.

The three businesses provided staffing assistance to local businesses, housed current and former inmates at a transitional home called Orchard House and provided transportation to work release inmates and former inmates traveling to and from work.

Thomas directed a little more than $1.4 million in inmate wage fees and deductions to profit the Alliance Group from February 2020-October 2022, and at least 170 inmates in Thomas’ custody were employed by the Alliance staffing agency during the investigation.

Thomas, who held a 20% ownership interest in Alliance, received more than $181,000 in compensation, payroll benefits and legal representation services from the businesses, which the investigation claims came through inmate labor.

Thomas allowed 74 Tennessee Department of Correction inmates held in the Gibson County jail to reside at Orchard House without proper approval from a judge. The sheriff is accused of continuing to show the jail as the inmate location in the state’s offender management system, which resulted in the county collecting $507,273 in reimbursements from the state department of corrections that were disbursed to Orchard House without the state agency's knowledge or consent.

Thomas directed $448,637.09 of wages earned by inmates working for Alliance to be deposited into a private account owned and controlled by the Alliance Group instead of having their wages deposited into an inmate trust account.

Ah yes, the old "laws don't work so let's get rid of them" argument.

The money Hamas used was partly given by Israel.

And there were people on here saying that licensing your comments CC was stupid...
