Palestinian banks could be cut off from the Israeli banking system starting next week following a decision by Israel’s finance minister to cease dealings between the two financial institutions, according to a report on Thursday by Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has two days to convene a cabinet meeting to discuss reversing plans by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to isolate Palestinian banks from both the Israeli and international banking systems. The Palestinian economy is based on the Israeli currency, the shekel, making it reliant on ties to Israel and its financial dealings with the rest of the world must go through the Bank of Israel and Israeli banks.
We call this Apartheid.
Very sad to hear Motaz apologize for choosing safety and evacuating as if he owes the world anything.
If anything the world owes him an apology. He kept on going despite his mental health decreasing day by day.
May he live a long and happy life, so he can tell his story to future generations.
I heard someone say that the antidote to chronic consumption is creative contribution, so with that said I'm GOING to write a novel. Hopefully multiple novels. I've had this idea for a while now but I'm officially going to act upon it.
Has anyone else noticed that traits people associate with Shaggy smoking weed could easily be explained with severe anxiety?
Shaggy doesn’t say “like” and talk stuttery because he’s a stoner. He’s unsure of what he’s saying and is constantly tripping over his own thoughts
Shaggy doesn’t always have the munchies. He’s stress eating. He’s just grown an appreciation for food since
Shaggy isn't leaning forward because he’s slouching. That and his wide eyed expression comes from being on constant alert
Shaggy likes mysteries. But his main driving force is his friends. He does have a passion here. But in truth, he doesn’t want to let his friends down. He feels like them and Scooby are the only family he truly has
Shaggy doesn’t do drugs. He just has intense anxiety
💥🙌👏
“Time continues to pass. That’s why time eventually creates farewells, and it always leaves people with regrets. If you love someone, you have to tell them now, before your fleeting days become filled with regrets. In some ways, the biggest gift that time leaves us with is the memories we have of loving others. That’s why, before it’s too late, you have to shove your embarrassment aside and confess your love to your loved ones.”

I FINALLY have a contribution to the “favorite ship dynamic” discussion 😤 bonus points for Orange going apeshit if Purple gets hurt
I would love to write this
Listen - a whodunnit on a yacht with batfam... as the Waynes, esteemed, normal, absolutely not known for any detective work guests at the party, and famous private detective Percules Hoirot (or whatever) on the case.
Bruce, losing his mind by knowing EXACTLY who did it but being unable to SAY anything because this would bust his secret identity, and running interference so that his kids won't bust THEIRS, because what the hell are they doing, kids, just stop.
Tim being impatient (having a date with Bernard later?), and trying to lead Hoirot to the realt culprit by giving some velied tips and leads, and thus landing himself in a position of a main suspect in Hoirot's eyes (who is not as much of an idiot as batfam thinks), as Tim a) seems to know too much, and b) behaves very wierdly
Damian making it a game to see how far he can strech the truth, without outright lying or making stuff up, to implicate Tim further as a main suspect. He's doing great, Horiot eats it up, and if Damian keeps it up Tim WILL throw him off the boat, thus cementing his prime suspect status. Damian is having a time of his life.
Dick and Jason 'befriending' the real killer and toying with him by one just throwing an offhand comments about how the crime was done, and dismissing them. "Oh maybe YOU are the killer, Mr Novak?! Hahaha" "Don't even joke about it Dickie, this guy wouldn't hurt a fly, not to mention kill anyone, even if it was, for, i don't know, inheretance" "you're right, besides it's not like he COULD do it with his AIRTIGHT alibi." "must have been the aliens" "mush have been, Jace".

Request: Could you write a story where Jason and his S/O live together but the S/O hasn’t met the batfamily (they don’t know about the S/O) and one day the batboys come over to discuss something with Jason but he’s asleep and the S/O is up and Jason wakes up to all of them talking and having fun
Warnings: Implied smut, swearing
You’re happily laying in the bed with arms wrapped around you. You move his arms off of you and sit up, holding the sheets to you. As you sit there, you look at Jason’s face and think about what happened last night. Sitting in peace, you’re interrupted by knocks on the door. Grabbing a shirt and panties, you slip them on and make your way to the door.
There were three boys standing outside. One of them was a child, one an older teen, and the last an adult. You could only assume they were Jason’s brothers based on the descriptions. It was obvious that they had no idea who you were. You could see the confusion in their faces.
Tim (or who you assumed) peered around your shoulder to look in. he rubbed the back of his neck nervously and asked “Is this the right place?” Then Dick pulled him back and added, “He means is Jason here.” You moved to the side and allowed them to come inside.
You spoke up “Jason is sleeping right now, but if you want you can wait here.” They followed you into the living room and they took a seat. Dick looked around the room while Tim looked at his folded hands. Damian stared at you as you did to him. He kept the contact and questioned “Is there a logical reason why you’re answering Todd’s door?” Dick’s head whipped as he looked at the boy in shock.
You shook your head and laughed. You were amused. “It’s fine, I’m his girlfriend.”
“You’re his who?” and “Todd has a girlfriend?” was heard from the boys. No one could believe it. How was Jason was able to get a girlfriend? Their Jason. Damian did not believe it though. He shook his head and scoffed. “How much is he paying you? Has Todd kidnapped you?” Tim elbowed his brother and gave him a look. “No Jason is not keeping me hostage. We’ve been together for about a year now,” you said.
Dick was slightly hurt that he wasn’t told, but he knew that it wasn’t really his place to know. He wanted to get to know you, feeling like he’s missed out on so much already. They all did. Tim hesitantly asked, “So… do you know about Jason’s job?” You smiled and answered, “His job as Red Hood? Yeah I know.”
After that they all bombarded you with questions, trying to get to know you better. By the end Damian had surprisingly taken a huge liking to you. And he kind of saw you as a maybe sister figure. Dick had also learned the fact that you and Jason were close. He was happy his little brother found someone like you. Soon after all that time, Jason woke up to laughing in another room. He walked out, and was surprised to see his brothers and girlfriend on the couch. And the demon-spawn was sitting on his girlfriend’s lap. He just stood there and watched what was infront of him. You looked up to see your boyfriend in the doorway. “Jason,” you cheered. “I should’ve met your brothers sooner.” You walked to him and kissed his cheek.
Jason just stood there and didn’t say anything. You pulled away slightly. “Jay?” “Why the fuck is happening?” He questioned. He hopped this was just some weird dream. Dick stood up and made his way to Jason, pulling him into a noogie. “C’mon baby bird. You never told us you had a girlfriend.” Dick commented with a smile.
Your boyfriend just stood there taking things in. You were back on the couch with Damian in your lap. Tim laughing at a joke you told. Dick with his arm around him. He leaned forward to Jason and whispered, “She’s definitely a keeper baby bird.”
Jason smiled slightly and replied “I know.”
