Video: Hamas attack on Israel: Is this a Life or Death fight for the existence of Israel?
Some South African supporters of Loving Life asked for my opinion of this war in Israel and what it could lead to. This is my analysis of the Middle East and what I think about this war between Israel and Hamas. I also look at the Syrian Civil war and we take a look at ALL the Arab/Muslim nations from Egypt to Iran and what threats they might pose to Israel. I also discuss American and Russian military power in the region. Can the region go nuclear? I go into quite a lot of political and military analysis of this conflict.

These blacks are as determined as hell to go forward with their communist nonsense of stealing our private property. I still say, this is IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO GO TO WAR OVER! Jan]

How world sees SA: EWC will push it to ‘failed state’ status, warns Trump right-hand man

19th February 2020 by Jackie Cameron

As South African Parliamentarians get ever closer to deciding whether land expropriation without compensation – dubbed EWC – will become a reality, the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear that such a policy would be very negative for the country’s long-term prospects. Many South African academics and business leaders have issued warnings and concerns about EWC, with the latest criticism of the policy coming from US President Donald Trump’s right-hand man, Mike Pompeo. The US Secretary of State has strong condemnation for the plan to seize land without compensation, warning it would be a disaster for the economy and would definitely deter foreign investment. What’s more, such a policy will put South Africa in the category of countries that are failed states. Currency traders did not appear to be bothered by the Pompeo statement, though, with the rand strengthening. – Jackie Cameron

South Africa’s plan to seize land would be a disaster for the economy, Pompeo says

By Nick Wadhams and Colleen Goko

(Bloomberg) – The South African government’s plans to expropriate land without compensation would be disastrous for the economy, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

The policy proposal is an example of centralised planning that has failed in other African states like Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Ethiopia, Pompeo told reporters on Wednesday in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

“South Africa is debating an amendment to permit the expropriation of private property without compensation,” he said. “That would be disastrous for that economy, and most importantly for the South African people.”

African economies need “strong rule of law, respect for property rights, regulation that encourages investment” for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, Pompeo said.

The rand has proved sensitive to White House comments on the issue in the past. It slumped in August 2018 after President Donald Trump asked the secretary of state to “closely study the South African land and farm seizures and expropriations.”

This wasn’t the case on Wednesday. The rand gained for the first day in three, advancing 0.4% to 14.95 per dollar by 11:52 a.m. in Johannesburg.

“As long as the US doesn’t threaten sanctions against South Africa, the domestic news flow about South Africa’s failing state-owned entities and political inability to deal with the problem is enough to keep the rand on the back foot,” said Per Hammarlund, a strategist at SEB in Stockholm. “Pompeo’s comments are not threatening enough to make a bad situation worse for the rand.”
