    When people talk about the illegitimacy of democracy under capitalism, this scarecrow and her late husband are why.

    How can democracy co-exist in an economic system where orgs are run like dictatorships from the top down, and individuals hold more wealth, power, and influence than entire nation states — despite those orgs employing, and being dependent on, thousands or millions of workers?

    Seriously - how can any person be so brazenly and thoroughly warped?

    I can only assume that, like so many of the fabulously wealthy, she's profoundly mentally ill, such that she really can't grasp the enormous human cost that fulfilling her petty, selfish and ultimately pointless desires would entail. It can only be the case that she genuinely can't grasp the fact that the millions of people who would be made to suffer or die for this are actual people - actual beings with lives and loved ones who are every bit as important to them as hers are to her.

    It's either that or she's genuinely evil, in the purest sense of the word, and on a scale the world has rarely seen.

    So which is it Ms. Adelson? Are you insane or simply evil? There's absolutely no doubt - none at all - that it's one or the other.

    Psychopathy.

    To get that rich, one needs to be able to think of other people as things. "Human Resources" as such.

    If other people are things then there's no moral problem "decommissioning" them be it redundancy or killing.

    What would make her evil is, if knowing this, she makes no effort to mitigate it. Given she's a billionaire: evil.

    Original title: Miriam Adelson’s Unfinished Business What does the eighth richest woman in the world want?

    The article shows how aggressively anti-peace she is and her beliefs about the land to support the above claim

    Sheldon Adelson's widow. yeah, this all makes way too much sense. Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient in 2018, from #45. The wikipedia pic of her shows #45 solemnly placing the medal around her neck.

    Sheldon Gary Adelson (August 4, 1933 – January 11, 2021) was an American businessman,[2] investor, political donor, and philanthropist.[3][4][5] He was the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited, which operated The Venetian Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center before selling the properties in early 2022.[6] He owned the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom, the Israeli weekly newspaper Makor Rishon, and the American daily newspaper the Las Vegas Review-Journal.[7][8]

    Adelson created the Adelson Foundation in 2007, a private charity focusing on healthcare and support of Israel and the Jewish people. He was a major contributor to Republican Party candidates[9][10] and was often dubbed a "kingmaker" due to the size and frequency of his donations.[11][12] He and his wife Miriam Adelson were Donald Trump's largest donors, providing the largest donation to Trump's 2016 campaign, his presidential inauguration, his defense fund against the Mueller investigation into Russian interference, and the 2020 campaign.[13][14][15][16][17][18] He was also a major backer of Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[19]

    In 2020, Forbes listed his net worth as US$29.8 billion.[20]

    He died in 2021

    I'm no anthropologist or anything, but I'm pretty sure the annexation of the West Bank would guarantee a permanent guerilla terrorist force operating within Israel's borders for the foreseeable future. Israel would never know peace. In 200 years they'll probably still trying to snuff out terrorist cells constantly killing civilians.

    Just with this war they have created thousands of fresh new volunteers for Hamas both within and outside the general area of the conflict.

    The way out of this is more empathy for the Palestinians, not less.

    She's from Israel, she's 78 and she's got his (American, not relevant) husband's money. She already supported Trump, who gave her some medal once elected.
    Bye bye Miriam, despite your (husband's) money, you will be forgotten
