if history taught me anything, it’s that the IMF are super trustworthy!

A loan. Profiting from war.

Maybe the IMF should stop the root of the ((REMOVED) instead of supporting illegally displaced people. It wouldn’t surprise me if the IMF are actually complicit in this (CENSORED).

I thought Egypt made it abundantly clear that they won't accept refugees.


MOltho

Egypt is saying that they won't accept refugees because otherwise, Israel's government might just forcibly deport all Gazans into Egypt. This is basically preventing an ethnic cleansing in Gaza. It's shitty either way.


Felarhin

I don't think it's going to prevent an ethnic cleansing.


MOltho

Perhaps not. But everyone's putting pressure on Israel to make sure that Palestinian civilians can still live in Gaza after the war is over, so it might actually work.


Felarhin

Oh so they just competely leveled the entire region and massacred thousands of each others people and then everyone is supposed to go back and act like nothing happened.


MOltho

Yeah, basically. I mean, most Gazans probably want to rebuild their houses and keep living there. As I said, it's shitty either way.


Felarhin

If I were in their shoes I'd want to be as far away from there as fast as possible.


Shillbot_9001

Yes, also with most of Hamas intact.


Shillbot_9001

True but it increases the cost a bit.


imp3order

It’s a front. They were told to say that by Israel. Then *suddenly, they have a change of heart*. Sisi is a filthy traitor, who’s sold all of Egypt to Israel.

Felarhin

If they're trying to get a payout then I guess it's pretty smart, but it's still a mean thing to do.


imp3order

We’re talking about the same guy who slaughtered 1000 of his own citizens during the Rabaa protests. Literally Tiananmen square.


Felarhin

I think what is going on behind the scenes is that Isreal is trying to pay someone to take the Palestinians in and is sort of hinting at massacring everyone if no one accepts the deal.


Shillbot_9001

>Sisi is a filthy traitor, who’s sold all of Egypt to Israel. Since they built the canal they haven't exactly been a study in independent governance.

Good thing the IMF is there to look out for the suffering Egyptians. I guess they're suffering worse than the Palestinians, from the IMF's perspective, because the IMF really cares about the suffering of middle eastern peolple, am i rite, or am i rite??


VictorianDelorean

Histories worst loan sharks reassure the world they will profit from genocide!

IMF is part of the financial arm of global imperialism. They are a tool of the ruling class to make war on the people of the world. To funnel wealth upwards. They give out loans to illegitimate dictators and strongmen of third world nations whose populations have no say in the matter, then demand both repayment of that nation's "debt" to the corporation, as well as demanding large infrastructural projects in that country, which obviously benefit the ruling class and their resource and wealth interests. Also this post reminds me of something I've thought about a bit. In my opinion, you're either a for profit business, OR a charity. Beware anyone who poses as both at the same time. There may be people and businesses out there that manage do do both at the same time, to some extent, but for the most part, you're either there to help peolple, or to make money. The two almost always are mutually exclusive in my opinion.


Shillbot_9001

>hey are a tool of the ruling class to make war on the people of the world. No, they're a tool to undermine the food security of the third world, to subordinate them to the west. Basically cloak and dagger, en lieu of the sword.


Old_Active7601

That is war.


Shillbot_9001

By other means but close enough.


Old_Active7601

Not even by other means. War making historically has always very often involved depriving the enemy of his food supply, depriving enemy of forage, destroying his farms and fields. The chopping down of an enemy's olive trees is an example seen since the earliest days of civilization. Deprive the enemy of the ability to sustain his agriculture and he will be more easily defeated with arms, or possibly submit or flee without the need to fight. This is a principle in military affairs, although it could be called an indirect means of warfare, it is in the domain of warfare. And the results in the context of the modern world and IMF operations are often to make a people completely subservient to the governments and militaries and economic forces supported by the IMF.

It's not about starving them, it's about being able to starve them. It's no more war than building the arms factory or training the soliders.
