 Palestinians Offer First-Ever Corporate BondsPosted on May 12, 2011
Following a possible 10-day freeze on revenue collected on Palestinian goods that pass through Israel’s ports and airports, a Palestinian investment firm has issued the territory’s first-ever corporate bonds, which Palestinian leaders and businesses hope will strengthen the local economy. Israel imposed the freeze after Fatah, Palestine’s ruling party, made peace last week with its political rival Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israeli statehood. —ARK

This may sound crazy, but here’s a way for the Palestinians to gain symnpathy (and hopefully money and eventually political backing) down the line: start a baseball league. It will not only grow into a multi-billion dollar industry, it will also make Americans give a damn about what happens in Palestine. It’s a guarantee; American media would no longer be able to continue their blackout if baseball was being played in Gaza! We can all see what 63 years of “peace negotiations” have produced - zip, nada, zilch. Cultural imperialism it may be (I’d call it realpolitik) but hey, it’s time to think out of the box on on this one.

hello. laundering cartel money through the bank you run
Report thisto fund terrorism, and refusing to recognize Israel, is
the perfect fit for Wall Street. corporatist smoke and
mirrors from an expert, whom can do many things for
himself, at the expense of the Palestinian peoples.
commit bankers to a Middle East fraud: at the expense
of American tax payers, the IMF, and the value of the
dollar. that’s why you go to college. i would rather
buy a bridge from a NYC taxi driver, than invest in
this scheme.
