Those Who Live by the Sword Go Broke By the Sword

The Jerusalem Post has a report on the Palestinian stock market's reaction to the Hamas win in the election. Basically, it is tanking. It seems that people are worried that foreign investors are going to pull their money out.

Slightly Mad (otherwise known as the Artist formerly known as purple parrot) confirms that this is the prevailing mood, at least in her office.

Welcome to the real world, where actions have consequences.

I didn't know they had a stock market, just knew about the stockpile of weapons.

Its the ones who hate the weapons - and try to educate against violence- who need the funding the most and are going to lose out the most here. Sad.

Thanks for the link.

batya - thanks for the comment. Does it matter to you which blog I put on my links list? I was thinking of changing to Me-ander. Any thoughts?

The artist - if they can prove that they are educating against violence, and have good accounting practices, there should be private charities willing to donate money.

The key is accountability.
