Oil hit $114 today as the number of drilling rigs fell to 543, down from almost 800 under Biden and an average of more than 1,500 under Obama.

Headline says that Israeli police forcibly prevented end of Ramadan. Prayers at the largest mosque in Israel.

Below is the kind of bigoted behavior by the Israeli government, that fuels Muslim anger and encourages the stupidity of antisemitism, which is much too prevalent already.
The news report is from a liberal Israeli newspaper that I check out daily.
