Moon of Alabama – Dec 4, 2023
The Israeli Haaretz headlines:
Did Hamas Make Billions Betting Against Israeli Shares Before October 7 Massacre?
Giant gambles against Israel on the markets in Tel Aviv and Wall Street days before Hamas’ attack made billions. Somebody seems to have known about the plan in advance
The story is unfortunately pay-walled and I have yet to find an archive version of it. An archived version is now available.
We know that Batteridge’s law of headlines says:
Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.
It was thereby not Hamas which profited from unusual short positions but likely someone else.
The Haaretz story is based on a very recent study by two law professors with experience in market regulations from New York University and Columbia University.
A PDF file of the study, Trading on Terror?, is available at the Haaretz site.
Its abstract says:
Recent scholarship shows that informed traders increasingly disguise trades in economically linked securities such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Linking that work to longstanding literature on financial markets’ reactions to military conflict, we document a significant spike in short selling in the principal Israeli-company ETF days before the October 7 Hamas attack. The short selling that day far exceeded the short selling that occurred during numerous other periods of crisis, including the recession following the financial crisis, the 2014 Israel-Gaza war, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Similarly, we identify increases in short selling before the attack in dozens of Israeli companies traded in Tel Aviv. For one Israeli company alone, 4.43 million new shares sold short over the September 14 to October 5 period yielded profits (or approximates avoided losses) of 3.2 billion NIS on that additional short selling. Although we see no aggregate increase in shorting of Israeli companies on U.S. exchanges, we do identify a sharp and unusual increase, just before the attacks, in trading in risky short-dated options on these companies expiring just after the attacks.
We identify similar patterns in the Israeli ETF at times when it was reported that Hamas was planning to execute a similar attack as in October. Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events, and consistent with prior literature we show that trading of this kind occurs in gaps in U.S. and international enforcement of legal prohibitions on informed trading. We contribute to the growing literature on trading related to geopolitical events and offer suggestions for policymakers concerned about profitable trading on the basis of information about coming military conflict.
3.2 billion New Israeli Shekel are about $800+ million. And, as I understand it, those only were the profits from a small part of the whole operation.
I am not qualified sufficiently to judge the study but the quoted sources and data seem reasonable.
EIS is an exchange-traded fund that tracks Israeli shares in New York. The spike in shorts volume of EIS was indeed hefty.
The short options were only for a very limited period. At least some would have expired on October 13.
So it definitely looks as if on Monday, October 2, someone was sure enough on that soon something ‘bad’ would happen to Israel. That someone had enough market knowledge and money to take the risk of a false alarm in exchange for a huge potential profit.
Who that person or group was is for anyone to guess.
No where suitable to put this.
So the Nazi deputy prime minister tells thicko sheeple to buy candles and get an analogue battery radio, because out digital world could end.
Brits should stock up on candles and battery-powered radios in case a power meltdown cripples digit… https://mol.im/a/12825239 via https://dailym.ai/android
Of course, they miss the really big threat. No way would they ever admit thay 98% of thicko sheeple are on borrowed time.
As for your old fashioned radio, it probably won’t work, unless you store it in a plastic box, but this is no guarantee, just a chance thing.
Another funny in this Fail article, now AI makes it even more likely a hermit sheeple could develop bioweapons. After 9/11 we were told an average student with £20k could make some deadly stuff, but now the risk is even higher, if you buy into this Nazi fear operation.
Keep saying, never too late to start prepping, and in the case of a CME frying the wires and circuits, you won’t be traveling very far. Prepare to bug in, and don’t tell anyone you’re a prepper.

Very 9/11. Probably arranged by the same people.
The leaders of both sides of all wars are always in on it together. See the proof at CVHOAX.COM
Follow the money will tell you that those that shorted the risks are responsible.
Israel did 911, so why discount they did Oct.7th?
Kevin Barrett who does False Flag Weekly News came out and said it was not a false flag. Mr. False Flag said it wasn’t, is Barrett controlled opposition?
With Russia bogged down in Ukraine, the war was seemlessly shifted south to Israel.
Nothing to be suspicious of. Not part of a larger plan. Ukraine and Israel not related in any way. Do not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories Goyim!
Believe it was a surprise attack Goyim, BELIEVE in our narrative we are the Masters of Illusion, VEE JEWS RULE YOUR MIND!
Oct. 7th was a false flag by israel, who founded and controls the leadership of Hamas, to justify the genocide of Palestinians.
Some israeli insiders couldn’t resist making a few shekels via stock-shorts on a sure thing.
Simple, same thing happened in dollars on USA’s 9-11.
Israel created Hamas so they could have Hamas shoot some fireworks toward Israel and Israel could fire bullets at Gaza.Like duh. Israel shorted itself.
Israel’s First Son, Yair Netanyahu, 32, is sitting out his father’s war in Miami.
What does this say about this war?
Failure to enlist
Yair Netanyahu’s absence during Israel’s war has drawn significant attention, especially considering the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of reservists and the national crisis unfolding. The British publications, Daily Mail and The Times have featured interviews with IDF soldiers who have volunteered for the reserves, expressing their disappointment in his failure to enlist during this critical time.”
history repeats. remember the hoax played in the uk when it was said napoleon was winning when he was not. people panicked and sold and that person made amint when it turned out the napoleon was losing/lost.
All derivatives should be banned.
CRASH THE STOCK MARKETS AND SHUT DOWN THE CENTRAL BANKS !!
Let the jews go back to peddling rags and snake oils on the street.
WHO OWNS YOU ?
Rothschild got news by carrier pigeon that Wellington had beaten napoleon at waterloo
he spread the rumour Britian had lost and swept up the whole British economy in a single day
All those who oppo ed the jews setting up the federal reserve were given first class tickets to sail ina new luxury liner
We are told that the Titanic sunk when it hit an iceberg, not true ” it was driven at full speed into one ”
in the 2 days before the sinking large transactiones were made on the stock exchange
which purely by coincidence favoured Rothschilds
The German airship the Hindenberg in 1937 docked in the USA it was a major triumph for the future carrying of passengers
the airship caried a large swastica on its tail and the jews were incensed, this symbol in the USA so they sabotaged it with much loss of life
Purely by coincidence Churchills number 2 Herbert Morrison was there to watch, Morrison who as Peter Mandeslons grand father is a rothschild favourite, In the days leading up to this jews sold all shared and stock in German airship construction.
In the years leading up to w w 2 Churchill made Herbert Morrison his chief minister, and Morrison saw to it that all synagogues told jews to invest in war supplies, huge contracts only went to jews, they made so much money from the ar that after so many left east london for the upper class areas of chigwell barkingside chadwell heath Ilford etc
Morrison with Churchills approval allowed jews to skip war service, and many got extra food during rationing
these extras were often sold the name ” spivs” was given to these jews who got extra rations and there was anger among the British folk who knew the war on Germany was over the jewish bankers
Karl ‘Marx’ Jones is really annoying
THE GOVERNMENT PLAYING THE RACE CARD
Various UK governments allowed migrant gangs in the north of England year after year to groom kidnap rape
and in a few cases murder white christian girls, Rotherham it transpired was the centre with Bolton and other Northern towns involved
similarly the police say there are up to 250 black migrant gangs operating in the greater london area.
There has been much friction, between the black gangs and the newly imported eastern bloc gangs
none of the above has had much news coverage
But the persistent half true story of Stephen Lawrence is continualy pushed down our throats.
Understand this, the official agenda by our own government is anti white people, e g its on electorate
We were all pushed and bulied to have the jew-jab but migrants coming in were not.
Black spokesmen have said they want a white free london by 2030 and Estate agents have what they call ” white flight”
that is white folk being pushed out of the city.
Some country areas are selling houses in an hour
Black activist Wayne Dobbs has said on radio there 3 jewish areas of london where if a house comes up for sale they all buy it themselves
and re sell to another jew we must do the same, the time for white folk is over.
He said talks with government ministers and Black gangs spokesmen , have given black gangs the right for a london take over,
the same as the Muslim rapist gangs up north
TV adverts and subliminals in programmes particularly soaps, condition white girls to go with black men,
this breaches all the current laws on racism.
Your politicians of all colours and political shapes have done this, it was all planned
So what can you do ?
Vote for independents from the system, and put real people into power non communist/satanists who actually listen to its people
