Amazing. I wonder if Colombia is going to start trading again with Israel now that South Africa demonstrated that either they don’t believe their own claims against Israel or that it doesn’t matter
Colombia has elections next year and the far left government is incredibly unpopular, so most likely trade with Israel will be restored after that election.
Well, Colombia doesn’t allow re-election of president, so there’s definitely going to be a new president. Whether he’s left wing or right wing remains to be seen.
I recommend looking at polls. The candidate from Petro's party (far-left) is tied for first place with a centrist both with 24%, while a right wing candidate is third at 17%.
I recommend ignoring polls, because they are often wrong. For example, in Bolivia's recent elections, Paz was in 3rd place in the polls, and he ended up winning.
So because polls in Bolivia were inaccurate we should ignore them in Colombia..? Should we ignore polls in France because the polls in Turkey were wrong?
Those are different countries that don't even border each other.
But to be serious, the think holding back the power revolution is not generation. It's storage. We can generate unlimited power but have nowhere to store it. Coal, gas, and to a degree nuclear all are energy dense things that are the storage in itself. For all our tech now how we still haven't matched the sheer energy potential stored in a tank of diesel.
It'll happen, some crazy battery revolution, the LiOn got us somewhat there for small devices. But until we can match what the dirty stuff does we're stuck with it.
Why don't we invest in solar? The Negev is just begging to be turned into an energy hub. Israel is small enough that covering significant areas of the Negev aren't unfeasible.

There is no way the left wins the next election after the way Petro governed. The left lost a lot of support because of his policies.

Colombia has a run-off, so the centrist or right wing candidate's voters will likely support each other when the second round happens.
Antisemites hate Jews but love Jewish money.
With those South Africans it’s all about the Benjamins.
A tale older than time
I'm fine with this. I don't need to be loved, just take our money and deal with it.
They love our blood too
Yeah but it's been harder to get hold of these days.
And Israeli defense technologies.
What in the plot twist is going on here?
Reality. :)
South africa sells coal to israel while accusing israel of comitting Genocide?
I guess they dont really care either way
Why do we buy coal and export gas?
I assume because there are existing coal power plants and not enough existing gas power plants
Why do we even need this crap when can have solar with our 300 sunny days a year on average?
Absolutely hilarious
Why is Israel importing coal?
Space lasers require large amount of energy
Because Hadera power station generates most of our electricity. And we don’t have coal in our tiny country.
Coal is still the most available and affordable power generating resource.
Coal is more available than sunlight in Israel?
Coal doesn't rain.

Why are we buying from. South Africa, are we stupid?

South Africa 4D chess'd their competition into withdrawing and is reaping the gains.
It was all for show. All of it. All of them. They might badmouth us but they will still deal behind closed doors
