Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "The lies governments tell. - Israel and the settlements

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has said that the Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria are illegal and should be dismantled.
1)
First of all, the ICJ has no jurisdiction. Secondly, it misleads the law. Why? Politics, antisemitism, double standards.

Let's be honest. There is no Israel business. There are no conquered territories.
2)
Israeli villages, farms and settlements in Judea and Samaria do not violate the International law.

israel's control of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) is legal according to International law and those who argue it are ignorant or lying.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Lies pretending to be history.

I just was alerted to watch a video by someone called Professor Stein, in which they list 20 different โ€œTerrorist Groups.โ€
1)
But not all the 20 were Terrorist Groups, and not all the stories attached to the listing are factual.

Three Jewish organizations are listed.
2)
But the difference between the three Jewish organizations and the others is that the Jewish groups never targeted innocent civilians, while all the others specifically targeted civilians.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "It has been brought to my attention that there is a correlation between the speed of the internet service and the ability of a country to deal with and take advantage of technological innovation in an entire population.
1)
Israel has a transmission rate (medium download speed) of 64 megabits per second.

But, around israel we have the UAE with an average rate of 652 megabits per second (the highest in the world), China with 160, USA with 170.
2)
Therefore, it is possible that the state of israel will do something smart if you consider doing something about it."

Tamil Nadu Deepam Row Explained | Rahul Shivshankar Breaks Down Impeachment Orders | The Hard Facts

As very rightly said by @RShivshankar permitting a Hindu ritual of lighting a diva in a pillar in the land owned by the temple is not a misbehaviour.

2n
It is not an action demanding impeachment of the Judge .
The only grounds for impeachment are "proved misbehaviour or incapacity" (Article 124(4)).
"Misbehaviour" includes serious misconduct, corruption, abuse of power, or actions that undermine judicial integrity.
3n
"Incapacity" refers to physical or mental inability to perform duties.
Mere controversial remarks, errors in judgment, or political differences do not qualify unless they amount to "proved misbehaviour."

Can a country artificially weaken its currency by changing how it regulates its life insurance industry?

I think the answer is yes.

A new blog, one certain to increase my popularity with the Central Bank of China (Taipei)

1/

cfr.org/articles/taiwaโ€ฆ
A bit of background. Taiwan's lifers hold $700 billion in foreign currency assets abroad (more counting their holdings of local ETFs that invest heavily in foreign bonds) v ~ $200 billion in domestic fx policies -- so fx gap (pre hedging) of $500 billion

2/ Image
Taiwan's regulator (perhaps the most complicit regulator on earth) not allows the lifers NOT to mark their fx holdings to the fx market -- so the lifers are incentivized not to hedge (and they are rapidly reducing their hedge ratio)

American liberation.

1/ Trumpโ€™s rhetoric condemning the deaths of demonstrators in Iran stands in stark contrast to the violence occurring within his own country.
Under Trumpโ€™s policy of large-scale immigration enforcement operations, carried out by agents of the U.S.
Image
2/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), serious human rights concerns have emerged.
Deaths in ICE Custody:
In 2025, the United States recorded 32 deaths in ICE detention facilities, the highest number in over two decades.
3/ This increase occurred alongside a dramatic expansion of immigration detention, raising urgent questions about the treatment of detainees, conditions of confinement, and the stateโ€™s obligation to protect the right to life.
