It appears that the exchange of Hamas hostages for Palestinian prisoners and the cease-fire in Gaza is holding a day at a time with significant world pressure on  Israel, including from the US, to extend the peace. Our colleague Dan Mulvenna and I were just discussing yesterday the widespread political demonstrations against the War in Israel on college campuses and elsewhere and that it was very like the anti-Vietnam War movement's demonstrations and riots of the late 1960s and 70s. And today (Wed. Nov. 29, 2023) this article in the WSJ hit the streets: "Gaza Protests at Colleges Open a Generational Divide." For those of you who remember the anti-Vietnam War demonstations, I thought you might find its contents of interest.

I have also included an article on the attempted murder of a Sikh separatist leader in NY from the AP. This is a similar case to one that occurred in Canada in September which put significant strains on relations between those two countries and will, no doubt, affect future US-India affairs.

For those looking for some longer format content, here's a recent interview from the NAIOP Podcast: Inside CRE.

My Latest Interview on the NAIOP Podcast: Inside CRE

I chatted with Christopher Ware about current U.S. demographic shifts, how the labor force is changing, and why now is the best time for businesses to hire and borrow. I also dive into China’s precipitous population decline, how the cost of manufactured goods will increase, and why we need to double the size of the industrial plant in North America.

I encourage you to tune in if you want a well-rounded, long-form discussion.
