It is the supreme irony that the Israeli government, desperately stung by their intelligence failure, are now carrying out genocide against the Palestinians. The Nazis tried to eradicate the Jews in Europe and murdered 6 million. Now it seems that Israels government are hell bent on doing the same. Yes they were attacked, yes many of their people were killed and kidnapped, it was and is a tragedy. The whole situation in this part of the Middle East is a powder keg that can and does explode at any given moment. Lebanon is a mess. Syria is still a war zone . Libya still a troubled state! Iran backing everyone and anyone. The Saudi’s not helping with their destruction of Yemen. Most if not all of it, the historical fault of the West and primarily the UK! We cannot turn the clock back. The lack of condemnation of the Israeli by almost all of the world, is a shocking failure. A further irony is that the majority of the Israeli people do not back Netanyahu and his right wing govt. He has backed himself into a corner by getting the support of hard line ministers in order to retain power and now he has to acquiesce to their demands! I have no idea how this will be resolved and it saddens me, that as always, so many innocent people, on both sides, who just want to live their lives in peace are the victims!
Here is what I don’t get, it is obvious that Trump is a criminal, we know it, the world knows it, he knows it and yet in the USA, he is still allowed to go about his business and still campaign to become President! Innocent until proven guilty must be upheld but here is a man who is being pursued by the law relentlessly and yet he remains a massively divisive figure in American public life and should he be elected for a second term a huge danger to the world! The USA is a sad pathetic shadow of it former self and unless the people get a grip on their country it will only get worse! The need credible younger candidates in both parties and not these old men!
I am not ignoring the shocking state of our country. There is little left to say about that I have been saying for years, one cannot only hope it can and will get better but I may not be around to see it!
Stay well
