Unlike Buffett and Graham, who made fortunes buying low and selling high, Israel is paying an unbearable price
The concepts of price and value pertain to the hostage deal Israel signed with Hamas. The value Israel gains is the return of Jewish captives, each one a world unto itself.

It’s bad enough that in exchange for the hostages, Israel agreed to release up to 3,000 Arab terrorists, many of whom were imprisoned for murdering hundreds of Jews and maiming thousands more. Israelis are also suffering the trauma from Hamas’s degradation and humiliation of the hostages, as the terror group parades them on a public stage, sometimes forcing them to salute or kiss the captors who starved and tortured them for 500 days.
