Most people think that Gaza is a place of utter desolation, with humanitarian aid being withheld by the cruel Israelis, a place of unspeakable deprivation. It’s not true. Huge amounts of humanitarian aid is now flowing into Gaza, some 1400 truckloads every week at present, thanks to the help of the IDF. But once those trucks are inside Gaza, Hamas operatives take control and direct the trucks to their own warehouses, where they unload much of that aid, some of which remains to be distributed to Hamas members for their extended families, and the rest is kept for resale, at extravagant prices, to the Gazan civilians who were supposed to receive that humanitarian aid for free. Since the war in Gaza began, Hamas has taken in $500 million from the sale of such aid. The humanitarian aid, or some of it, does get through, but Hamas makes the Gazans pay.
And it is amazing what other goods are on sale in Gaza, at prices that are exceedingly low. More on what a French journalist saw in the markets in Gaza can be found here: “Going too easy on Gaza: Israeli right rage after PS5 sells for NIS 700 in Gaza,” Jerusalem Post, September 15, 2024
🔴 ISRAEL EN GUERRE: Avez vous un peuple victime d'un génocide qui a les moyens de vendre ou d'acheter des Playstation 5? Évidemment que non.

The video shows the PS5 game console, fresh fruits, soaps, perfumes, sweets, snacks, soft drinks, and more in the market in the center of Gaza.
The same resident was heard saying, “In Gaza, during the war, you can get everything at the stalls.” The resident enthusiastically said that the console cost him only 700 shekels; the current retail price on the Sony website is $499.99.
The video caused shock and anger among several prominent right-wing Israeli commentators, with many calling this proof that Netanyahu was going too easy on Gaza…. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
