“Strengthening security around missile impact zones has become an urgent necessity due to the rise in theft and fears of looters,” Ben-Gvir said
"The internal crisis comes amid longstanding cases that Israeli occupation forces have themselves looted homes and public facilities in Gaza, South Lebanon, and southern Syria"

Indeed, Vae Victis*, is very applicable to what the GOP is doing to the #US.

As you say, an occupying power.

* Vae Victis: Woe to the conquered".
It expresses the sentiment that the defeated in battle are at the mercy of the victors.

Cartoon image of a masked thief wearing a red helmet labeled "GOP" and "MAGA," running away with a money bag.

The thief is depicted in front of a broken window with an American flag design.

The background and borders are red. At the top, large white text reads: "GOP's Motto for 2025/26 Vae victis!"

At the bottom, more white text says: "Loot everything as long as we have the chance."

The image is a satirical political cartoon criticizing the GOP (Republican Party).

"Netanyahu admits Israel is arming gangs and clan members in Gaza to counter Hamas's influence, and new evidence shows Israel is using them to loot aid and implement its displacement plan. In response, the Hamas government set up the “Arrow Unit.”
"Israel openly admits to backing and arming Abu Shabab’s group, which in effect is an open admission that it has been backing the looting of food aid meant for Gaza’s starving population"

Yep, they're not even waiting until the cherries are ripe. Just taking a bite out of each one, lol.

I'm going to try and find a way of keeping them off a part of the tree so we can enjoy a few cherries as well, wish me luck!

They Looted Companies — Now They're Looting the Government

Most executives are no longer rewarded for building durable businesses or contributing to the real economy—they’re rewarded for how efficiently they extract value from the companies that they control.

“Because these people have gotten away with looting corporations, they’ve come to believe it’s their right to loot the state,”

Malm noted: “1840 was a pivotal year in history, for both the Middle East and the climate system. It marked the first time the British Empire deployed steamboats in a major war. Steam power was the technology through which dependence on fossil fuels came into being: Steam engines ran on coal, and it was their diffusion through the industries of Britain that turned this into the first fossil economy.

“Only by exporting it to the rest of the world and drawing humanity into the spiral of large-scale fossil fuel combustion,” Malm writes, “did Britain change the fate of this planet: The globalization of steam was a necessary ignition. The key to this ignition, in turn, was the deployment of steamboats in war. It was through the projection of violence that Britain integrated other countries into the strange kind of economy it had created — by turning fossil capital, we might say, into fossil empire.”

"it’s maddening that so many members of the California Legislature have put #looting center stage, pushing bills to lengthen jail and prison sentences for theft during emergencies. It’s a misdirection of public time, effort and money. And it glosses over the deep governmental failures that the #wildfires exposed" https://calmatters.org/commentary/2025/04/looting-penalties-los-angeles-fires/
