Experts are now describing Israel’s economy as a “zombie economy,” collapsing under the weight of war, declining tourism, and mass business closures while being artificially propped up through U.S. loan guarantees.
Jimmy and The Last Vagabond contributor Ryan Cristián point out that foreign investors are only buying Israeli bonds because they are backed by the United States, not because Israel can realistically pay them back. On the ground, observers describe shuttered hotels, empty holy sites, and severe unemployment among Palestinians, illustrating how both societies are being strangled by the ongoing conflict. The two argue that U.S. financial backing enables Israel to continue its military campaigns despite the economic collapse and international isolation it faces.
