"The Resistance is resorting to new strategies in dealing with the Israeli forces..."
The article speaks of "strategy", but discusses what I would call "tactics". Since the rockets have no military effect and do little damage other than (and this is big) psychological, what is the "strategy" other than creating terror and provoking or legitimizing retaliation? The rockets are in no sense directed at Israeli forces.
This is a valuable and informative article, but with a mystery at its center.
"On average, the lost export revenues translate into between 51,000 and 66,000 lost job opportunities..."
The implication here seems to be that, if Persia had never existed, there would be a permanent, equilibrium increment in US unemployment equal to the number of people who would have been employed in producing exports to a (in that world) hypothetical Persian trading partner. This makes no economic sense.
Good.
Prosecution v. silence is a false dichotomy. “Truth and reconciliation”, anyone?
