And not a peep from management about the war.
I know Ofer served for over 20 years, and Sagi is still pretty involved with training and mentoring young soldiers in the IDF, as often as monthly prior to the terrorist attacks and impending war.
Can't help but wonder if Sagi was called up or left on his own volition. 350,000 called up (so far) in a population of 8 million, give or take, is a pretty big number.
A statement from management would be good. PERI issued a statement and Tal Jacobson (PERI CEO) went on CNBC to discuss the situation. It wouldn't take a lot for TRMR to do the same.
Nice idea gdog but you have assumed the management team care about anyone else part from themselves. Sadly, that is a mistake and can be verified by looking at the price chart for two years which will demonstrate their interest in shareholder returns.
The situation in Palestine demonstrably cannot be solved by war. Calling Palestinians 'human animals' (Israel's defence minister - Yoav Gallant) and an recently announced policy of collective punishment, against all the residents of Gaza, is lamentable.
Currently Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel live under various regimes of organized discrimination and oppression, much of which makes life nearly unlivable. Also occupying territory is asking for trouble. As America is a friend of Israel it needs to formulate a solution.
Tricky,
RE: "As America is a friend of Israel it needs to formulate a solution."
Have you been paying attention? How do you expect us to come up with anything that works? We have the most corrupt, dim, dementia addled Puppet in Chief residing in the White House, the moron who is the puppet for those running the administration (Obama et al.) that more than anything else on earth caused virtually all the geopolitical problems the world is now facing. You are asking the arsonist to help put out the fire.
Three years ago this coming February, a very wise poster here, an American, posted numerous posts about the world being a far less safe place with Stupid Joe in the White House. I was dismissed by virtually everyone here, most of whom have Trump Derangement Syndrome because they actually believe what the complicit press writes. I wish I were wrong. Everyone hates an "I told you so"...including me...especially now.
"As America is a friend of Israel it needs to formulate a solution."
============================================================
I'm not sure people are looking for a 'solution' at the moment. Some people mention the Oslo agreement as if to say "Perhaps it wasn't such a bad deal after all". But that appears off the table.
A part of me thinks parhaps - just perhaps - some sort of long term solution will come out of all this death & chaos. At the moment people are just seeking revenge....much like America in Iraq, without any idea of a plan once the battle is won.
I'm not sure governments have the leaders, the headroom or the money to solve the Palestine issue at the moment. I could see Saudi oil money used in some sort of reconstruction. But a people without hope & a future will just seek a cycle of revenge. They did it with Northern Ireland....perhaps they can do it there. Although NI now looks easy in comparison.
That's enough politics from me!
Doggy,
Trump said "Washington will no longer play the role of the world’s policeman." Actually that may be a good thing, just let the rest of the world get on with it, but the (military) balance of power may have consequences.
As long as China does not step out to play the role.
Tricky,
RE: "As long as China does not step out to play the role."?
You cannot be serious with that China comment.
About Trump: You guys simply do not get him. He's transactional. We are sick and effing tired of paying to be the world's peace keeping force. We want others to step up and pay their share. Note all his comments about NATO...same thing. We are more than happy to do our share, but we want others to sacrifice as well. As an overtaxed taxpayer in the USA, I agree completely.
Trump has been spot on about almost everything, except the poison mRNA vaccines.
Doggy,
I get where you are coming from in implying that the rest of us should pay our fair share for peace-keeping costs.
Even after NATO was founded in 1949, U.S. leaders tried to limit America’s ties to the organization.
In the 1950s, when President Eisenhower complained of “having the whole defense burden placed on U.S. shoulders” and charged the Western Europeans with nearly “making a sucker out of Uncle Sam.
By the early 1960s, it was clear that steps to encourage Western Europe to stand up independently so the United States could draw down its presence had faltered, America’s aversion to costs then reappeared in perennial debates about whether the U.S. would truly risk a nuclear exchange with Moscow to protect Western Europe.
The net result was a sustained American drive throughout the 1970s and 1980s to push Western European states to assume greater burdens. U.S. officials threatened that the United States might abandon NATO if the allies did not spend more on their defense.
Donald Trump is only echoing the sentiment as seen above.
Tricky,
You failed to address the main point: China is on the march. Big time. Everywhere.
We have serious problems, and all of them can be laid at the feet of the totally corrupt, weak, dementia addled moron in the White House, doing the bidding for Obama et al., and he doesn't even know it.
Doggy,
China (and Russia) are 'on the march' for sure.
Hopefully the support for Ukraine by the West will deter China from marching 'gung-ho' into Taiwan.
Tricky,
Russia is nothing without China. China is a massive problem without Russia.
None of this would have happened without Biden's (Obama's third term) inept administration, their incredibly stupid energy policies, massive government spending on krap nobody wants, massive regulatory policies, and naive foreign policy of appeasement (can we spell Neville Chamberlain?). At the top of that list, along with what's going on in Ukraine, is what Iran is up to all over the Middle East. ALL OF IT can be laid at the feet of US leadership, or lack thereof.
The USA is going to be hit with another 9/11 type terror attack due to what these fools have allowed to happen on the USA's southern border. It is incredible. Actually, they have not only allowed it, they've encouraged it. Our borders are WIDE OPEN, and the world knows it. Over 7 million that we know of are here illegally over the last 2.5 years. We do not know who they are, or where they are, but we know they are here. Some say it's closer to 10 million.
BTW: OK, Russia is not "nothing", but they proved to be a bit of a paper tiger with their performance in Ukraine. They have more than a few nukes, which I have not failed to forget.
About the rest of what I said, if anyone doubts me, please challenge me. I will connect the dots (given my time constraints).
