I understand. The Central Bank is facilitating war bonds. There are babies being ripped apart as a result of the money that is being generated as a result of the Central Bank facilitating them. I understand Mr. Cross does not want to say that but that is exactly what the prospectus regulation does. It facilitates access to European markets and the Central Bank is the only central bank in Europe - because it was the only one that was asked - that is facilitating access to European markets through this regulation. Those are facts. Let us not deny the undeniable. That was not even the question. The question I asked was, how much money is Israel, as it commits that genocide, paying to the Central Bank for that facilitation?
