‘Hamas has created additional demand’: Wall Street eyes big profits from war
Morgan Stanley and TD Bank hope for aerospace and weapons boon after a 7% value increase from start of Israel-Hamas conflict

The United Nations has warned that there was “clear evidence” that war crimes may have been committed in “the explosion of violence in Israel and Gaza”. Meanwhile, Wall Street is hoping for an explosion in profits.
During third-quarter earnings calls this month, analysts from Morgan Stanley and TD Bank took note of this potential profit-making escalation in conflict and asked unusually blunt questions about the financial benefit of the war between Israel and Hamas.
...
The death toll – which so far includes more than 8,000 Palestinians and over 1,400 Israelis – wasn’t top of mind for TD Cowen’s Cai von Rumohr, managing director and senior research analyst specializing in the aerospace industry. His question was about the upside for General Dynamics, an aerospace and weapons company in which TD Asset Management holds over $16m in stock.
Joe Biden has asked Congress for $106bn in military and humanitarian aid for Israel and Ukraine and humanitarian assistance for Gaza. The money could be a boon to the aerospace and weapons sector which enjoyed a 7-percentage point jump in value in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel and the beginning of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza in response.
“Hamas has created additional demand, we have this $106bn request from the president,” said Von Rumohr, during General Dynamics’ earnings call on 25 October. “Can you give us some general color in terms of areas where you think you could see incremental acceleration in demand?”
“You know, the Israel situation obviously is a terrible one, frankly, and one that’s just evolving as we speak,” responded Jason Aiken, the company’s executive vice-president of technologies and chief financial officer. “But I think if you look at the incremental demand potential coming out of that, the biggest one to highlight and that really sticks out is probably on the artillery side.”
That next day, Von Rumohr assigned a “buy” rating to General Dynamics’ stock.
Morgan Stanley’s head of aerospace and defense equity research, Kristine Liwag, took a similar approach to the conflict during Raytheon’s 24 October earnings call.
“Looking at [the White House’s $106bn supplemental funding request], you’ve got equipment for Ukraine, air and missile defense for Israel, and replenishment of stockpiles for both. And this seems to fit quite nicely with the Raytheon Defense portfolio,” said Liwag, whose employer holds over $3bn in Raytheon stock, a 2.1% ownership share of the weapons company.
“So how much of this opportunity is addressable to the company and if the dollars are appropriated, when would be the earliest you could see this convert to revenue?”
Greg Hayes, Raytheon’s chairman and executive director, responded: “I think really across the entire Raytheon portfolio, you’re going to see a benefit of this restocking … on top of what we think is going to be an increase in the [Department of Defense] top line [budget].”
The comments are seemingly in contradiction of each company’s “statement on human rights” and explicit endorsements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
So let me get this straight. Hamas commit atrocities and there are demonstrations across the country supporting the attack in many cases. Support for this type of terrorism across campuses, cities, with Jewish people being chased and harassed everywhere. This administration’s response? A National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia.
Everything they do is to retain power. They are without an ounce of credibility or care for real justice. Consistent I suppose. I will give them that.

For the record, I want a cease fire. Here and in Ukraine
Bernie maybe the only one currently serving in the US government who has ever actually lived in Israel. So I would take his word for what's going on there over anything said by the corporate media, the NuttyYahoo regime, Hamas, or anybody else.
Beck is a fear pornographer.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
Even though his highwater mark was only a decade ago, [Beck] feels so hopelessly retrograde; compared with the anxiety-hyping bloviators that followed him, Beck's passe brand of bullshit seems almost polite these days.Originally Posted by Nitro Express

Well there was something about a six year Palestinian (American actually, he was born here) that was stabbed to death by a MAGA freak that listened to right wing talk radio (like you obviously do) and probably only read rightest spam.
I think it is also idiotic to say that Biden has only attacked Islamophobia, he's also actively assisting Israel and is supporting them, and they US Gov't is also actively investigating threats against American Jews...
Oh nice! That way the Russian "Army" can murder and torture more Ukrainian civilians while kidnapping their children...
Not sure why in fuck you could even think these issues are somehow in any way morally comparable. Ukraine is fighting against occupation and for territiroy seized in the most horrific war since WWII in Europe. The IDF is pummeling the fuck out of a narrow stretch of land only a few miles deep and wide full of civilians and they have well surpassed the death toll of the Hamas Pogrom...

Wars and rumors of wars and all things will be in commotion. Men will seek peace and not find it.

War is a great distraction from crimes and fuckups and a great way to make money. As long as you can charge to the Federal Reserve credit card and people will still work for the funny money…rinse, wash, repeat.
slave FORD and his whole lazy liberal ilk has just discovered how capitalism works.
I say settle it with gladiatorial games. have 100 matches. the Zionists can put their best fighters in the ring and the Palestinians can put their best fighters in. Who wins the most matches wins all the land.
Malzberg?? this douchebag is still around? Can't believe he still gets media airtime, after Mike Malloy completely owned him on corporate media TV (FAUX, I think it was) way back in the Chimpy years.... when the media wasn't too chickenshit to have actual liberals on the air.
Or put the top leaders of Hamas, Israel (mainly Nutty), and Iran on a boat and sink the fucking thing!

....and sure enough... he said exactly what I thought. It's the Ezekiel 38 scenario, and Fat Bastard couldn't be happier about it.....
Hagee is cumming over Jesus’ second coming.
I bet Hagee would give Netanyahu a blow job. If Jesus returns the first people he will flame will be the zionists and evangelicals. The people who don’t give a fuck and do a bit of charity will be ok.
