Thread: The grim reality of Israel...

  1. #21
    Dead easy that one sinkov, I kind of like people who realise fairness, solidarity, socialism, equality, compassion, tolerance and respect are the watchwords of a civilised society and act on them. For the many not the few, which sort of exempts phooking eejits like these two parasites...

    Dear B T: It's a wonderful day here in the M E, 9:30 am, sunny with a few clouds, 25 C, later to reach 27 C .right now 27 C in my home, so I switch on the A/C .Yes, and to 'Footymad'.

    So then what you write ''I kind of like people who realise fairness, solidarity, socialism, equality, compassion, tolerance and respect are the watchwords of a civilised society.

    I did not add ''and act on them.'' For there lies the problem.

    .....and those words ''fairness, solidarity, socialism, equality, compassion, tolerance and respect.'' They belong to the Book, Grimm's 'Fairy Tales',words that are caught by the winds and lofted into the 'make believe world', that never exists!

    Equality or fairness can never be ,when no two atoms are the same, how can it be?

    fairness:
    The British made a mess of things ,for example in many places of the world ,but lets take the M E problem. The only binding resolution of international law, a resolution which has never been countermanded to this very day, is the July 1922 Mandate for Palestine. Adopted by the League of Nations, that resolution recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” It called for the creation of a Jewish national homeland anywhere west of the Jordan River.

    That Labour great comedian J C, has called certain groups 'friends'. So how would Labour add its fairness to the problem? Remember ,''It called for the creation of a Jewish national homeland anywhere west of the Jordan River.(1922 Mandate for Palestine. Adopted by the League of Nations,the only binding resolution of international law?

    solidarity:
    Unity or agreement of feeling or action. Take the Arab world Sunni and Shia ? Can there be solidarity there? ( I heard a Sunni Moslem say ''they are not true Moslem's!!'') So can there be solidarity there ? Take note the whole world is full of conflicts ,and you speak of solidarity?

    socialism:
    A political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. ( that means centeralization?) - the concentration of control of an activity or organization under a single authority? It did not work anywhere? So with Labour Government it will work?

    equality:
    Remember those two atoms? That word, didn't it leave on the first Sputnik,into space?

    compassion:
    With such a cry these days 'Free Palestine,' etc etc. Yet, when Palestinians are bombed in Yarmuk refugee camp by the Syrians (or the Russians?) whatever,not much of compassion there,or with the worlds media ? Or the Rohingyas in Burma? Australia resettled refugees in offshore islands in the Pacific, 200 children being sent from Australia to Nauru . I am sure many more cases all over the world.

    tolerance and respect:
    You have the idea now that all these words left this earth long ago.

    More FAKE news ?

    From the 'Income inequality in the UK' report, authors Feargal McGuinness, Daniel Harari, Commons Briefing Papers CBP-7484, published House of Commons Library May 20th 2019.

    "In the UK, inequality in household incomes has remained at a roughly similar level since the early 1990s, but is higher than during the 1960s and 1970s. While the share of income going to the top 1% of individuals by household income increased during the 1990s and 2000s, there was some reduction in inequality among the rest of the population (based on incomes before housing costs) with the result that inequality overall was fairly stable during this period."

    I remember these two wi(a)nkers, Fergal McGuinness and Daniel Harari who contrived this nonsense they called "Commons Briefing Papers CBP-7484", published House of Commons Library May 20th 2019, written by the Tories for the Tories.

    You really must try harder sinkov. I'll bet your Accrington Grammar School Report was jam packed with those words?

    Ride for Peace, Not everything is about hate!

    https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-C...-border-593353

    Israelis and Palestinians cycled and ran in unison on Friday on both sides of the Gaza border in a historic solidarity event.

    "I think it's a very big statement and message, that first of all, the initiative came from Gaza. They wanted this and we are just supporting their call for action," Budo for Peace founder Danny Hakim said. "And I think we had a nice first time. We got many people to come from all over the area and I think it has inspired them. And as you heard, they are very keen to continue and they are not going to give up. it may be small now, a hundred maybe two hundred of them but, hopefully with this publicity, that will grow and that's what we want.

    This week, Bahrain is expected to host the Trump administration’s Israeli-Palestinian “Peace to Prosperity” economic conference, where the White House plans to put forth its “economic vision” for Palestinian-Arabs living in the Palestinian territories. U.S. Envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt expressed hope that the conference would facilitate an exchange of ideas about how to expand the struggling Palestinian economy.

    The White House’s plan includes a $50 billion Palestinian investment and infrastructure proposal, which is projected to create at least 1 million new jobs for Palestinians. The investments are directed at Palestinians living both inside and outside the territories, including those in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. The White House hopes to encourage Arab donor nations to invest in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

    Despite the economic aims of the conference, Palestinian officials have dismissed it, expressing that they will not attend what they believe to be a bribery scheme to force Palestinians to stop seeking self-determination through a Palestinian state. What is ironic about Palestinian demands for statehood is that Article I of the Palestinian Liberation Organization charter (the governing document of Palestinian leadership) makes no assertion of an actual state in Palestine, instead just of an “Arab homeland,” indicating a pan-Arab nationalism, not a distinctly Palestinian nationalism.

    The charter states, “Palestine is an Arab homeland bound by strong Arab national ties to the rest of the Arab Countries and which together form the great Arab homeland.” Furthermore, there is none of the requisite “quid pro quo” that typically defines a bribery scheme. In other words, the United States expects nothing from the Palestinian-Arabs in return for our investments.

    While leaders of the ruling Fatah faction have encouraged the Arab states to boycott the conference, the Trump administration has succeeded in getting seven Arab states to agree to attend the economic workshop, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Indeed, Bahrain’s agreement to host is alone an astounding achievement.

    Boycotting a conference explicitly designed to advance the economy of the Palestinian people evinces a great deal about Palestinian leaders’ actual objectives. Such maneuvers reveal that Palestinian leaders have no genuine interest in improving the lives of their people, but are more vested in perpetuating their people’s suffering for political gain on the international stage.

    In addition to pressuring Arab states to refrain from attending (or in the case of Bahrain, from hosting), Palestinian officials also pressured Palestinian businesspeople not to attend. Even so, they would benefit from the opportunity to meet with some of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds.

    Palestinian authorities have stated that anyone who attends the conference will be deemed a “traitor,” projecting a culture of fear onto the meeting and forcing many Palestinian-Arabs to weigh the possible economic gains against the violent retribution Fatah, the governing Palestinian political party, has promised.

    Fatah has also called for “days of violence” against Israel in response to the conference, which anyone with a modicum of political acumen realizes is stunningly obtuse, given the conference is geared towards aiding Palestinians and Israeli officials aren’t even in attendance. Indeed, out of a desire to avoid politicizing the event, the Palestinians’ decision not to attend prompted the Trump administration to refrain from extending a formal invitation to Israeli officials.

    The Palestinian Authority also attended a “counter-conference” in Bahrain last week, titled “The Holocaust of the Century in Bahrain… Its Signs, Consequences, and Ways to Deal With It,” bizarrely applying terminology that describes Nazis’ genocide against the Jews to an economic conference with a $50 billion proposed investment.

    The boycott and calls for violence rehash the same unproductive methods the Palestinians have used in the past to thwart peace measures, only this time the incoherence of the boycott is made more evident by the fact Israel will not even attend. Palestinian leaders continue to promulgate the notion that the workshop is some devious machination of the West or President Trump or both, despite many Palestinian-Arab neighbors agreeing to attend and host.

    If anything, their attendance shows the Palestinian-Arabs’ gradual isolation among the Gulf States, who have grown weary of the Palestinian Authority’s political gymnastics and obsession with destroying their Jewish neighbors. Bahrain will prove another missed opportunity for Palestinian leadership to engage with their neighbors in a significant way. Palestinian leadership sees the political capital to be had in human suffering, so any attempts to mitigate such suffering meet serious skepticism from Palestinian officials.

    Since rejecting the suggested partitioning the 1937 Peel Commission, Arab leaders have thwarted the creation of an Arab state west of the Jordan River more than six times, depending on whether one considers refusal to talk to mean refusing the possibility of a state. Thus, if anything is to be gleaned from the Bahrain conference boycott, it is that the Palestinian leadership does not have a genuine interest in bettering the lives of their own people—and perhaps that they are quite unprepared for actual statehood.

    B T: I know your coming in September here, don't worry the IDF is here!!!

    https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Ru...y-Radio-593849

    RUSSIA REPORTEDLY INTERFERED WITH AIR NAVIGATION IN ISRAEL
    Senior Israel officials believe Russia has been disrupting civilian aircraft navigation systems for the past three week, according to reports released Thursday morning. Army Radio called the move a "hostile attack."
    Israel Airports Authority announced Wednesday that pilots were having difficulty landing, experiencing mysterious disruptions. To resolve the issue, Israel has sent a defense official to Russia to discuss the disruption, Army Radio reported.
    Russia has denied the report.



    IAF F-35'S TRAIN WITH US AND UK F-35'S FOR FIRST TIME

    https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/IA...st-time-593837

    During the exercise, known as Tri-Lightning, Israeli F-35's trained alongside F-35's from the US and UK over the Mediterranean Sea. IAF forces practiced defense scenarios against changing threats in various advanced fighter aircraft, including the F-35.

    The F-35s from the three nations acted as primarily friendly players in the Tri-Lightning exercise while a variety of other aircraft played the "aggressor roles," according to a US Air Force press release. This simulated "realistic combat situations" between the advanced F-35s and previous generation fighters.

    UK Wing Commander John Butcher, Squadron 617 commanding officer said , according to the US Air Force press release. “In addition it allowed us to share and gain valuable experience that we will be able to exploit during future training and potentially operational deployments, whether embedded on the Queen Elizabeth or from overseas air bases.”


    I am sure what the IDF knows about flying under soviet radar S-300 and S 400,they will pass it on to the UK's pilots.
