Arab & Israeli Stock Declines Portend Violence
GAINESVILLE, Ga. / June 30, 2010 – Israeli commandos stormed ships stocked with humanitarian aid for Gaza! No -- Hamas is using aid ships to ferry in guns to attack Israel! No matter who's at fault, one thing's for sure -- the situation is about to get worse. Researchers at the Georgia-based Socionomics Institute were ahead of the curve on this one, calling for an escalation just three days before the aid boat incident. In a June report Mark Galasiewski updated his February forecast, noting that negative social mood is causing Arab and Israeli stock markets to plunge at the same time. "The last time two indexes fell in tandem -- late 2008 -- increasing anger on both sides erupted in the Gaza War," he wrote. "This combination probably puts the Middle East on a collision course to yet more tragedy."
