Or spend it on compute "for the good of the public" for some more fun circular financing.

A 2% for every 50% increase is just insulting.

It might have made sense when they were valued at <100B.

At current 2T valuation it's basically saying "we'll throw some crumbs to the public if we control the world's economy".

At the very minimum the 2% should have doubled every time.

But if that were the cause why do countries like Malaysia and Pakistan have diplomatic relations with let's say a country like Australia?

But they hated Israel before the recent land grab, right? And they seem less bothered by the much bigger Turkish land grab.

Palestinians aside, what reasons do neighboring countries have to hate Israel from it's very first moment?

A lot of the immediate neighbors attacked Israel at its birth, and further away countries just seem to hate Israel due to religion/ethnicity/populism (?), countries like Pakistan, Malaysia, etc.
