Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

There is an angle involving Israel. They have been lobbying for attacks on Syria in recent days, particularly with the US. You should avoid saying Jews as it is not relevant. The problems arising from Israel are not religious or ethnic specific. It is the Israeli government and the Zionists.

"There is an angle involving Israel. They have been lobbying for attacks on Syria in recent days, particularly with the US." ... and , France , UK etc etc.


"The problems arising from Israel are not religious or ethnic specific. It is the Israeli government and the Zionists." ... not sure what problem your referring to so can't comment.

Worth reading and considering.

Obama's rogue state tramples over every law it demands others uphold

For 67 years the US has pursued its own interests at the expense of global justice – no wonder people are sceptical now


George Monbiot

The Guardian, Monday 9 September 2013 20.30 BST


You could almost pity these people. For 67 years successive US governments have resisted calls to reform the UN security council. They've defended a system which grants five nations a veto over world affairs, reducing all others to impotent spectators. They have abused the powers and trust with which they have been vested. They have collaborated with the other four permanent members (the UK, Russia, China and France) in a colonial carve-up, through which these nations can pursue their own corrupt interests at the expense of peace and global justice.

Eighty-three times the US has exercised its veto. On 42 of these occasions it has done so to prevent Israel's treatment of the Palestinians being censured. On the last occasion, 130 nations supported the resolution but Barack Obama spiked it. Though veto powers have been used less often since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the US has exercised them 14 times in the interim (in 13 cases to shield Israel), while Russia has used them nine times. Increasingly the permanent members have used the threat of a veto to prevent a resolution being discussed. They have bullied the rest of the world into silence.

and as i wrote on NOWT, for once and possibly the only time, i concur fully with what this article in the gurniad says

however, the chances of the protocols within the security council now being rewritten remain less than zero, and not just because it would not (necessarily) suit america to have them changed ..... can you even envisage russia and china agreeing to any changes in the veto system?

Fergal Keane explores the use of terrorist techniques in Algeria and Mandatory Palestine to find out if they were the crucial factor in the defeat of the colonial powers.

On now R4, interesting.

Interesting views of President Harry Truman from his diary

http://www.trumanlibrary.org/diary/page21.htm

A smuggler carries food from Kentucky Fried Chicken to be delivered through an underground tunnel linking the Gaza Strip to Egypt

Is that what cynic is really doing on his holiday.

He will make a buck from anywhere.

looks more like Jesus than Mohamed ...... wonder why he'ld want to poison the palestinians with that stuff, not that it is even chicken as we know it ...... still, i guess Subway would be an even nastier death

Ariel Sharon, former Israeli Prime Minister who has been in a coma for 8 years, has died. He was the prime architect of the settlements in the west bank and his death doesn't come a moment too soon. He would better to have been put on trial for crimes against humanity. He built settlements in Gaza, but had to close them and withdraw because Gaza was too hot to handle. Let's us hope the West Bank rises up in the same way.

He built the West Bank barrier on occupied land. In 1982 he was found to be responsible for a massacre in refugee camps in Lebanon by Israeli authorities. There was a demonstration of 400,000 Israelis against Sharon calling him a murderer. The Palestinians call him The Butcher.

He was as bad a war criminal as any in history. An official investigation by Israel said that he should never hold any further official posts. He regularly shot prisoners of war and was responsible for the killing of thousands of civilians.

Just the death of a thug.

for all people on all sides, i'ld like to strongly recommend reading the book below ..... it is very interesting indeed, and i'm sure it will enlighten, sometimes surprisingly .....

My Promised Land: the triumph and tragedy of Israel (Ari Shavit)

Interesting to see Putin emulating Israel in his land grab.

Would love to see Cameron conduct an in/out referendum as quickly and efficiently as did Putin ....

read the book hays .... it may teach you lots - as it did me

Similar was said about the Bible!

I have ordered the book from Amazon. Unfortunately, I forgot to alter the dispatch address from the last time I used Amazon, so it will go to my son at Uni. I will have to get him to bring it to me at Easter.

I have edited the order, I hope it worked,

it really is a very interesting read, but resist commenting until you've read it completely
it's quite provocative - i.e. makes one think or even rethink preconceived ideas - in some unexpected directions; well for me anyway
