W28 – 11 Feb 2024 – Social

I wrote something some months ago that if oil companies increase their profit by polluting the air more, they will do it. There should be a natural brake to stop them. I suggested that there should be regulations to force them to make green investments in return for profit. Then they will be running against themselves. They earn profit now but by undermining their future selves.

This is comparable to some war tactics. Netanyahu now faces the most coherent world collision against Israel’s military ambitions it had ever seen in history. The more military operation makes the coalition more stable. This is an operation that undermines itself.

This is true that Israel is no stranger to outside hostility in history. Israel has been in a hostile environment in the Middle East. But it could overcome it because the world beyond the Middle East supported it. Or at least there was no global consensus to stop it. Netanyahu is the force that unifies the outside pressure. The more it pushes, the more the world pushes back by forming repelling structures. This is true because there are means to organize the outside pressure into a coherent unified force.

In such an environment, Netanyahu’s achievements will be very fragile to last. More attacks make things much worse for him.
