There’s always a job at the 7-Eleven.
Most of Hezbollah’s cash and gold reserves were destroyed in Israel’s recent strike that eliminated the Hezbollah leader at their headquarters. An estimated $1.5 billion in cash was incinerated, and 2,000 pounds of gold were melted into the earth during the attack.
I wonder how many of Obama’s pallet loads of cash were in the destruction.
Hurry Kamala … a few more pallets of US Cash would garner ALL of the MN and MI Muslim votes! Nevermind the complaints from the hurricane victims. They’re mostly evil paleface settlers.
I love a good story, the only problem is our dufus P.M. in Canada will replace it
To be fair, the gold can be recovered and used, whether its in grains, shrapnel, puddles, coin or bullion.
Has anyone claimed salvage rights?
This is the only way to deal with the world’s Islamic terrorist bullies – hit them hard and send them to see their 72 virgins. Unfortunately most of today’s emasculated, woke western ‘leaders’ (e.g. Trudeau, Kamala, Macron) would prefer to sit down and have tea and biscuits with them rather than deal with the problem. They are either too scared or too naïve to act, or in some cases, seem sympathetic to Islamism. To paraphrase Churchill, they keep feeding the crocodile hoping it will eat them last.
Or 72 raisins – the wording of that piece of text is ambiguous.
It’s 72 Vogons, all reciting poetry.
Tragic mistranslation.
no no no no. the real truth is about *why* they are virgins.
think Shakespearan hag . . .
24,000 ounces gold at $2667 is $64million.
$1.5billion in Benjamins weighs about 15000kg (15mt).
Kate, Kate, Kate … 7-11 employees require a “slight Indian accent”. Not a slight Lebanese accent. My President said so.
Couldn’t have happened to nicer people!
Remember those commercials 20 years ago saying drugs supported terrorism?
I wonder how much donut shop money gets sent back home.
I thought there was 16 ounces in a pound? ……
1/4 pounder at a time….
Deleted, Garth has a better calculation!
2,000 pounds of gold is 32,000 ounces, or approx. 29,167 troy ounces (which is what gold quoted in ounces is actually using for measurement of mass).
One troy ounce of spot gold (retail — us mere mortals don’t have access to “bulk” prices) is around $2,720 USD or $3,755 CAD this afternoon, so . . . call it around $79,334,240 USD or $109,522,085 CAD.
It’s not 1.5 bill in cash, but that’s still gotta hurt.
I assumed troy pounds since it is gold that’s being weighed. 12 troy ounces per troy pound.
An ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.
A new gold dream of finding riches in the soil. I’m in.
Think the guys from Oak Island would risk this one?
I don’t believe any of it.
Hey, it’s a great opportunity for a new line of work for unemployed Palestinian tunnel-bulders!
Blowing up $1,500,000,000 of Hezbollah’s cash is the kind of Inflation Reduction Act I can get behind.
