The David Hunter Perspective - 2023-12-06

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)How Many Jews Live in Israel?: Demographics are important in understanding the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, and Jewish influence around the world. Just how many Jews ---and Palestinians--- live in the old Greater Palestine area between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea?

2)The Jewish Festival of Hanukkah Starts on December 7th--What is It About?: Called a victory of lightness over darkness, exactly what is Hanukkah?

3)Could Gaza Become a Rich Arab Emirate like the UAE?: Offshore from tiny Gaza has been discovered a massive natural gas filed, called 'Gaza Marine". It is estimated to have one trillion cubic feet of natural gas. If developed, it could make every resident of Gaza very rich---like the oil sheikhs of the Gulf States and their citizen. So why isn't it being done?

4)Should US Continue to Fund Military Assistance to Ukraine?: There is a vote coming up in the US Senate to approve billions of new military aid to Ukraine. The Republicans are saying such aid should be linked to funding more for US border security measures. What do you think?
