Speaking at the World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos, Argentina's President Javier Milei praised the benefits of the free market economy and condemned socialism, speaking from his own country's experience and from a wealth of statistical data.  He further argued that socialism is inherently unjust because it is inherently violent and coercive.  Additionally, Milei argued in favor of a broader definition of socialism:  "Today, states don’t need to directly control the means of production to control every aspect of the lives of individuals. With tools such as printing money, debt, subsidies, controlling the interest rate, price controls, and regulations to correct so-called market failures, they can control the lives and fates of millions of individuals."

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/382959

'Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy chairman of Hamas’ political bureau, was killed in an explosion in the neighborhood of Dahieh in southern Beirut this evening (Tuesday), Arabic and Hezbollah media sources reported.  Al-Arouri was considered the 'number two' of the terrorist organization under Ismail Haniyeh and was responsible for terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria. He once admitted Hamas' responsibility for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in 2014. He was close to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. ... Two other people were reportedly killed in the blast, which occurred while al-Arouri was reportedly in a meeting with other terrorist operatives from Hamas and Hezbollah. According to reports, one of the operatives who was killed in the strike together with al-Arouri was Khalil al-Hayya, a senior member of the Hamas political wing.'

'Al-Aruri is the first top tier Hamas leader killed since Hamas and its terrorist allies launched the Oct. 7 rampage on southern Israel. Since Israel entered the Gaza strip to dismantle Hamas’ political and military organization, numerous mid-level military commanders, political leaders and operatives have been killed or captured. But senior Gaza-based Hamas leaders such Yahya Sinwar, his brother Muhammad Sinwar, and commander Muhammad Deif have escaped the dragnet thus far.'

COMMENTS.  Calendar year 2024 opens with the atrocities of October 7 still fresh in memory, and about 129 hostages still believed to be held by Hamas.  In the United States, this year's Presidential election will undoubtedly be a momentous event.  Communist China threatens Taiwan ever more aggressively, even as it struggles to consolidate its iron grip on institutions and governments around the world.  


Strength to get through all this, to survive and to prevail, will be found in renewing our bonds with families and communities; in staying physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy; and in keeping alive an inspiring vision for the future.
