October 18 2025- Hamas' Reign of Terror in the Gaza Strip & How Does The "Creative Destruction" Theory Work? The week began with the hope that the release of hostages and the cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war would lead to lasting peace. But by mid-week, huge tensions surfaced as the terror group tried to reassert itself, failed to deliver the remains of most murdered hostages, and began publicly executing its rivals. I spoke with Professor Gabriel Ben Dor who teaches National Security and Political science at the University of Haifa. And This week, Canadian academic Peter Howitt learned that he is sharing a Nobel Prize in economics for his work on “creative destruction” that fuels economic growth. What does that mean and how does it work? I turned to Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal for answers.
